Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Gifted Education Professional Learning Modules on Universal Screening Grouping Acceleration and

Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Gifted Education Professional Learning Modules on Universal Screening Grouping Acceleration and

According to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) evidence-based practices are supported by rigorous research designs and demonstrate that they improve student outcomes but the actual implementation of these practices in schools is limited. This essential guidebook assists coordinators of gifted education in implementing three evidence-based practices: universal screening grouping and acceleration. Each module includes an overview of research administrative and assessment considerations forms for implementing the practice scripted presentation slides for educators and parents and resources. Modules may be used by educators within a series of workshops for an entire school district on an individual campus or for important stakeholders. | Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Gifted Education Professional Learning Modules on Universal Screening Grouping Acceleration and

Vacuum Technique

Vacuum Technique

Vacuum technology finds itself in many areas of industry and research. These include materials handling packaging gas sampling filtration degassing of oils and metals thin-film coating electron microscopy particle acceleration and impregnation of electrical components. It is vital to design systems that are appropriate to the application and with so many potential solutions this can become overwhelming. Vacuum Technique provides an overview of vacuum technology its different design methodologies and the underlying theory. The author begins with a summary of the properties of low-pressure gases then moves on to describe mathematical modeling of gas transfer in the vacuum system the operation of pumps and gauges computer-aided synthesis and analysis of systems and the design of different vacuum systems. In particular the author discusses the structure and characteristics of low middle high and superhigh vacuum systems as well as the characteristics of joints materials movement inputs and all aspects of production technology and construction standards. Using specific examples rather than describing the various elements Vacuum Technique supplies engineers technicians researchers and students with needed expertise and a comprehensive guide to designing selecting and using an appropriate vacuum system for a specific purpose.

Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training

Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training

This book situates the work of the renowned voice and movement trainer Arthur Lessac in the context of contemporary actor training as a whole. Melissa Hurt uses Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theories of embodiment to frame Lessac's approach in terms of Embodied Acting a key subject in contemporary performance. In doing so she explains how the actor can come to experience both technique and expression as a subjective whole through meditation and spatial attunement. As well as feeding this somatic approach into a wider discussion of embodiment the author provides concrete examples of how the practice can be put into effect and studied at university level. | Arthur Lessac’s Embodied Actor Training

Radiopharmaceuticals Introduction to Drug Evaluation and Dose Estimation

Radiopharmaceuticals Introduction to Drug Evaluation and Dose Estimation

Nanoengineering energized by the desire to find specific targeting agents is leading to dramatic acceleration in novel drug design. However in this flurry of activity some issues may be overlooked. This is especially true in the area of determining dosage and evaluating the effects of multiple agents designed to target more than one site of metastasis. Offering the unique perspective of a medical physicist who has worked directly with cancer patients for over three decades Radiopharmaceuticals: Introduction to Drug Evaluation and Dose Estimation starts by exploring the recent history and current state of the field. Then citing key research and practical examples the author looks at how to run studies and employ estimation and evaluation methods that lead to the best multiple agents with the least amount of trial and error. He discusses methods that will allow researchers to more rigorously:Differentiate one radiopharmaceutical (RP) from anotherEstimate radiation doses Correlate results across various species to realize more informed data from clinical trialsIncorporating developments in nanotechnology and radiology with the ultimate goal of achieving personalized patient-specific treatment this book crosses disciplines to addresses a range of topics including:Preclinical RP developmentOrganization of clinical trials Determination of activity in vivo Modeling and temporal integration with a look at the mass law for tumor uptake as a function of tumor size (discovered by the author) Absorbed dose estimates with and without clinical correlations Multiple-modality therapyDr. Lawrence Williams has devoted most of his life’s research to tumor detection and treatment and his discoveries continue to influence evolving therapies.

A Handbook for Training Strategy

A Handbook for Training Strategy

When the first edition of Martyn Sloman’s Handbook appeared it made an immediate impact on the HRD community. Its starting point was the idea that traditional approaches to training in the organization were no longer effective. The Handbook introduced a new model and set out the practical implications. The world of HRD has moved on and Martyn Sloman has now drastically revised the text to reflect the increased complexity of organizational life and the many recent developments in the field. His aim remains the same: to help readers to develop a framework in which training can be effectively managed and delivered. In Part I of the text the author draws attention to the opportunities created for training by the current emphasis on competition through people. In Part II he poses the question: ’What should training managers be doing to ensure that training in their organization is as good as it can be?’ Here he stresses the need to keep training aligned with business objectives and to encourage line managers to work alongside the human resource professionals. The third and final Part considers the trainer as a strategic facilitator and examines the skills required. Martyn Sloman writes as an experienced training manager and his book is concerned above all with implementation. Thus the text is supported by questionnaires survey instruments and specimen documents. With its combination of thought-provoking argument and practical guidance the Handbook will continue to serve all those with an interest in organizational training. | A Handbook for Training Strategy
