Smith, Ph.D. The instructional coaching role has become a source of support for teacher professional development in districts across the United States, yet there is little agreement among researchers regarding the particular structure of this role. I conducted this portraiture study in three districts in North Carolina and used interviews, observations, and document review to determine how coaches, teachers, and principals understand the role of the instructional coach. The research questions used to guide this study were (a) how do instructional coaches understand their roles, (b) how do other education professionals understand the instructional coaching role, and (c) how does context impact understanding of the instructional coaching role. The portraiture methodology intentionally shifts from pathology to focus on “what is good here” (Lawerence-Lightfoot & Davis, 1997, p. 9). I used the goodness criterion to recruit coaches identified as good by others in the educational community. I analyzed data first through open coding and then for repetitive refrains (Lawerence-Lightfoot & Davis, 1997, p. 193) to create descriptive portraits of individual coaches. Finally, I created one, synthesized portrait of instructional coaching. Major findings from the study suggest that contextual factors iv influence role enactment for an instructional coach. Results of the study imply that principals should bring clarity to the purpose of the instructional coach within a school setting. For a coach to feel successful, the coach needs a role description that is both focused and flexible. Results stop short of articulating a coaching role description; therefore, more research is needed to support how to describe the role in order to achieve both focus and flexibility. v Acknowledgments To my Lord: for giving me the opportunity to make this journey and for the strength and perseverance to find learning through it all. To my husband: for saying (possibly on a whim) “maybe you should just go get your doctorate while you’re at it.” To Mama and Daddy: for praying for me, for encouraging me, and for being proud of every step I have taken during this journey. To my family: for being patient with me when I did not join you for Sunday lunch, birthday parties, and family gatherings so I could go home and work. To Dr. Vachel Miller and Dr. Kelly Clark-Keefe: for whoever suggested I should work with Dr. Smith. Your sense that we would make a good mentor/mentee partnership was perfect. To Dr. Smith: for giving me feedback that tightened my writing and forced me to think about word choice, for encouraging me when I thought I might never make it to the end of this process, for providing ideas when I felt depleted, for attending to the product and the process with the utmost precision and care, and for becoming a friend through all of this. To Dr. Gummerson: for providing feedback that helped improve my use of APA style and for helping me think about the school and district administrator audience. To Dr. Meyer: for helping me appreciate the process that lead to this product and for suggesting I use Web of Science as a search tool. vi To Dr. Miller: for exemplifying what it means to lead with an ethic of care and for helping me feel like a valued member of the Appalachian community. To Susan Musilli: for answering all of my questions and responding to all of my emails so that the logistics were always managed professionally. To Cinda Payne: for providing feedback on this product in the final hours; despite having never met me, you invested your time and expertise. To my participants: for allowing me into your coaching worlds and school communities and for letting me learn with you. vii Dedication To my husband who saw this degree and this possibility for me when I could not even see it for myself. viii Table of Contents Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iv Acknowledgments .............................................................................................................. vi Dedication ........................................................................................................................ viii List of Tables ................................................................................................................... xiv List of Figures ....................................................................................................................xv Chapter 1: Introduction to the Problem ..............................................................................1 Discussion of Topic .................................................................................................5 Research Questions ..................................................................................................9 Purpose and Significance .......................................................................................11 Limitations .............................................................................................................12 Chapter 2: Literature Review ............................................................................................13 Instructional Coaching In Between ........................................................................16 Liminality .....................................................................................................17 Coaching role ...............................................................................................19 Power ...........................................................................................................19 Space ............................................................................................................20 Borderlands ..................................................................................................20 Stage 1: Moving Away From a Familiar Context Into Liminality .......................22 History..........................................................................................................23 Literacy coaching .........................................................................................25 ix Science and math coaching ..........................................................................26 Teacher professional development ..............................................................27 Effective professional development .............................................................28 Stage 2: Liminality and the Borderlands ..............................................................30 Defining the coaching role ...........................................................................30 The work of the coach ..................................................................................32 Context .............................................................................................33 Variation ..........................................................................................33 Coach-teacher relationships ........................................................................34 Trust ................................................................................................36 Dialogue ..........................................................................................36 Collaboration ...................................................................................38 Relationships ...................................................................................38 Role of principal .......................................................................................38 Leadership .......................................................................................39 Understanding of role .....................................................................40 Support ............................................................................................41 Best practices ..................................................................................42 Coach as diplomat

  • György Rákosi: Beyond Identity: the Case of a Complex Hungarian
    BEYOND IDENTITY: THE CASE OF A COMPLEX HUNGARIAN REFLEXIVE György Rákosi University of Debrecen Proceedings of the LFG09 Conference Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King (Editors) 2009 CSLI Publications http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/ 459 Abstract It is a well-known typological universal that long distance re- flexives are generally monomorphemic and complex reflexives tend to be licensed only locally. I argue in this paper that the Hungarian body part reflexive maga ‘himself’ and its more complex counterpart önmaga ‘himself, his own self’ represent a non-isolated pattern that adds a new dimension to this typology. Nominal modification of a highly grammaticalized body part re- flexive may reactivate the dormant underlying possessive struc- ture, thereby granting the more complex reflexive variant an in- creased level of referentiality and syntactic freedom. In particu- lar, the reactivation of the possessive structure in önmaga is shown to be concomitant with the possibility of referring to rep- resentations of the self, as well as a preference for what appears to be coreferential readings and the loss or dispreference of bound-variable readings. 1. Introduction According to an established typology, complex reflexives are expected to be local and relatively well-behaved from a binding theoretical perspective, whereas long distance reflexives tend to be monomorphemic (see Faltz 1985, Pica 1987 and subsequent work, as well as Dalrymple 1993 and Bresnan 2001 in the LFG literature). Polymorphemic reflexives, however, are not uniform as they may show different types of morphological complexity. In particular, body part reflexives, which owe their complexity to their historical origin as possessive structures, are often grammatical outside of the local domain in which their antecedent is located.

ANDREWS ST. MARY’S COLLEGE THEOLOGY IN SUSPENSE: HOW THE DETECTIVE FICTION OF P.D. JAMES PROVOKES THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF DIVINITY INSTITUTE FOR THEOLOGY, IMAGINATION, AND THE ARTS IN CANDIDANCY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY BY JO ANN SHARKEY ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND 15 APRIL 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Jo Ann Sharkey All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The following dissertation argues that the detective fiction of P.D. James provokes her readers to think theologically. I present evidence from the body of James’s work, including her detective fiction that features the Detective Adam Dalgliesh, as well as her other novels, autobiography, and non-fiction work. I also present a brief history of detective fiction. This history provides the reader with a better understanding of how P.D James is influenced by the detective genre as well as how she stands apart from the genre’s traditions. This dissertation relies on an interview that I conducted with P.D. James in November, 2008. During the interview, I asked James how Christianity has influenced her detective fiction and her responses greatly contribute to this dissertation.

Critique presse : « De fait, ce film virtuose d'animation stop-motion (...) reflète l'habituelle maniaquerie ébouriffante du réalisateur, mais s'étoffe tout à la fois d'une poignante épopée picaresque, d'un brûlot politique, et d'un manifeste antispéciste où les chiens se taillent la part du lion. » Libération - La Rédaction « Un conte dont la splendeur et le foisonnement esthétiques n'ont d'égal que la férocité politique. » CinemaTeaser - Aurélien Allin « Par son sujet, « L'île aux chiens » promet d'être un classique de poche - comme une version « bonza? de l'art d'Anderson -, un vertige du cinéma en miniature, patiemment taillé.
