This collection from the 12th International Conference on Magnesium
Alloys and Their Applications (Mg 2021)-the longest running
conference dedicated to the development of magnesium alloys-covers
the breadth of magnesium research and development, from primary
production to applications to end-of-life management. Authors from
academia, government, and industry discuss new developments in
magnesium alloys and share valuable insights. Topics in this volume
include but are not limited to the following: Primary production
Alloy development Solidification and casting processes Forming and
thermo-mechanical processing Other manufacturing process
development (including joining and additive manufacturing)
Corrosion and protection Modeling and simulation Structural,
functional, biomedical, and energy applications Advanced
characterization and fundamental theories Recycling and
environmental issues
Research in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and artificial
intelligence - the three disciplines that have the most direct
application to an understanding of the mental processes in reading
- is presented in this multilevel work, originally published in
1980, that attempts to provide a systematic and scientific basis
for understanding and building a comprehensive theory of reading
comprehension. The major focus is on understanding the processes
involved in the comprehension of written text. Underlying most of
the contributions is the assumption that skilled reading
comprehension requires a coordination of text with context in a way
that goes far beyond simply chaining together the meanings of a
string of decoded words. The topics discussed are divided into five
general areas: Global Issues; Text Structure; Language, Knowledge
of the World, and Inference; Effects of Prior Language Experience;
and Comprehension Strategies and Facilitators, and represent a
broad base of methodology and data that should be of interest not
only to those concerned with the reading process, but also to basic
science researchers in psychology, linguistics, artificial
intelligence, and related disciplines.
Even before the No Child Left Behind Act, there was much
discouragement about educational institutions. Now, with a focus on
high-level accountability, the mood in schools has dropped even
further. Many schools are overcrowded and face the task of
educating students from varied and sometimes broken environments.
Test scores often stay low in spite of great effort expended to
improve them. Many teachers are in desperate need of retooling. All
of this can combine to produce a bleak atmosphere of failure. In
the midst of improving curriculum, instruction, and assessment--and
while working hard to improve students' test scores--attention
needs to be spent on nurturing the human spirit so that this
challenging task can continue with hope and confidence. This
resource helps educators learn successful ways to respond to
today's increasing diversity among both student body and faculty.
The author looks at what school leaders must do to invigorate and
sustain the spirits of members of their learning communities as
they drive toward achieving demanding goals. Practical tools and
strategies in every chapter help speed the translation from theory
to practice, and planning templates and completed samples offer
essential elements needed for change.

"The principles and ideas presented are not just for school
improvement. Many of the materials can be used for an entire gamut
of situations. There is something for everyone." -Lyndon Oswald,
Principal Sandcreek Middle School, Idaho Falls, ID "The book deals
with a time-sensitive and time-intensive topic, and its worth will
be known only when it is purchased and used by serious educational
entities." -Lori Grossman, Instructional Coordinator for
Professional Development Services Houston Independent School
District, TX Facilitate change in schools with this innovative
shared leadership approach! In today's world of increased
accountability, the need for effective and dramatic school change
is stronger than ever. Continuous school improvement requires a
collaborative team approach-one where educators focus on student
learning and achievement, promote shared decision making, and
communicate visible achievements to students, teachers, and
parents. This updated edition of Twelve Roles of Facilitators for
School Change shows education leaders how they can become powerful
agents of school reform. Advocating a transformational vision of
leadership and learning, the author outlines 12 essential roles on
the leadership team and provides practical tools for individuals in
each role to use in facilitating the change process. This
easy-to-use, research-based volume guides principals,
superintendents, staff developers, and other leaders through the
four main functions of effective facilitators: Leading the
collaboration and change process Providing skills training Acting
as a resource consultant Motivating and energizing the group By
following the clear, step-by-step directions in this book,
educators at all levels will learn to facilitate and embrace
change, leading to higher student engagement and achievement!
