In spite of millions of dollars spent on professional development
for teachers, the dream of providing every child with the great
teacher they deserve always seems just out of reach. With each new
education product and innovation promising to transform teaching
and learning, the myth of a silver bullet to cure education's ills
is perpetuated. But the silver bullet is already in the classroom:
the teacher. Every teacher has the ability to transform their
practice if he or she is willing to look inside themselves to make
the changes necessary. By using methods described inNavigating the
Labyrinth: Teacher Empowerment Through Instructional Leadership,
educators can establish a metacognitive process for how they
recognize what beliefs they have about how students learn, how they
approach research so that it drives instructional decisions, and
how they design and deliver instruction that ensures student
learning at the highest level. This process is the foundation of
effective pedagogy. Daily practice of these methods can establish a
standard of professionalism that inoculates teachers against the
everchanging "shiny things" in the profession and enable them to
become strong instructional leaders.

Imperial Designs is the first text in English to deal
comprehensively with the subject of the Italian colonial experience
in China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Recent
scholarship on both the Liberal and Fascist Italian colonial
enterprises centers on the Mediterranean and Northern Africa:
expeditions, wars, ultimate occupation of territories, and their
effect on Italy. This study looks at three Italian enclaves on the
other side of the globe: Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. These
present both a window into the Italian experience in the Far East
and confirmation of imperial policy. Their very presence confirms
the rhetoric of conquest. Journalist Luigi Barzini, Sr.; diplomats
Salvago Raggi, Vare, and Ciano; various military personnel; and
other foreign nationals tell the story through letters and diaries.
They all interact with the local metropolitan and rural poor and
cultivate a generalized colonial white man's detachment from their
surroundings. A brief summary of the presence of chinoiserie in the
Italian imaginary shows how the Celestial Empire has continued to
function in the construction of Italian identity as part of the
dichotomy between self and other.
