This book examines the complex issues of student teachers'
professional learning in the unique while worthwhile context of
underserved schools in English language teacher education, against
the backdrop of preparing 21st-century teachers who can work with
all students. Drawing on a socio-constructivist perspective, this
book explores student teachers' learning outcomes, learning
processes, and influencing factors of their learning during the
placement in underserved schools. Learning outcomes are presented
by disseminating student teachers' development in various
categories of practical knowledge, including knowledge of self,
knowledge of context, knowledge of curriculum, subject matter
knowledge, knowledge of instruction, knowledge of English teachers
and the teaching profession, as well as knowledge of interpersonal
relationships. Learning processes are revealed that student
teachers learn by broadening, consolidating, deepening, and
developing practical knowledge in the upward spiral with individual
knowledge categories, and by integrating practical knowledge from
different knowledge categories. Additionally, different factors
have influenced the professional learning experiences, including
student teachers' practical knowledge before teaching practicums,
critical incidents happened during teaching practicum, student
teachers' observant and reflective stances, the underserved school
settings, people involved in the practicums, and the student
teachers' goals for taking part in the practicums.
Understanding Pope Francis: Message, Media, andAudienceoffers
several chapters which illuminate the often misunderstood, but
widely discussed, leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope
Francis. With 1.3 billion baptized members living throughout every
continent, communication by and about him is a subject deserving to
be understood. As technology makes the "global village" predicted
by Marshall McLuhan more apparent, the complexities of leading an
organization across geographic boundaries with differing ideas
about culture and governance present great need to be nuanced,
indeed cautious, about messages communicated across diverse media
platforms and consumed by divergent audiences. This book lay bare
the messages Pope Francis produces, the way that varying
platforms/media present those messages, and the complex ways in
which audiences formulate their interpretations.
This is a book describing electronic structure theory and
application within the framework of a methodology implemented in
the computer code RSPt. In 1986, when the code that was to become
RSPt was developed enough to be useful, it was one of the ?rst
full-potential, all-electron, relativistic implem- tations of DFT
(density functional theory). While RSPt was documented p-
asitically in many publications describing the results of its
application, it was many years before a publication explicitly
describing aspects of the method appeared. In the meantime, several
excellent all-electron, full-potential me- ods had been developed,
published, and become available. So why a book about RSPt now? The
code that became RSPt was initially developed as a personal
research tool, rather than a collaborative e?ort or as a product.
As such it required some knowledge of its inner workings to use,
and as it was meant to be m- imally ?exible, the code required
experience to be used e?ectively. These - tributes inhibited, but
did not prevent, the spread of RSPt as a research tool. While
applicable across the periodic table, the method is particularly
useful in describing a wide range of materials, including heavier
elements and c- pounds, and its ?exibility provides targeted
accuracy and a convenient and accurate framework for implementing
and assessing the e?ect of new models.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of deaths and injuries
from residential fires as well as the most up to date information
on evidence-based approaches to reduce this problem. The volume
serves as a guide for professionals working in the field of fire
prevention and as a textbook for instruction in universities and
fire service schools. The authors' interdisciplinary approach,
where public health methodology is combined with fire protection
engineering, medicine, and policy science, is quite distinctive
outside of the technical literature devoted to larger scale fire
events. Traditional textbooks on fire protection tend to describe
the problem as purely technical, whereas in essence it is a problem
of human vulnerability. In this book, readers will find lucid and
rigorous descriptions of various risk groups and effective
preventive measures that are effective, both in general and with
respect to the different risk groups. They will also find work
processes to facilitate risk reduction. Summarizing
state-of-the-art knowledge and giving guidance for the future, both
in terms of preventive efforts and ongoing research, Residential
Fire Safety: An Interdisciplinary Approach, is ideal for students,
educators, and practitioners of residential fire protection.
