The document discusses analyzing function words in literary texts using text mining techniques. It notes that while function words are typically ignored in text mining as "stop words", they make up about 50% of tokens in a text and play an important grammatical and syntactic role. It questions whether function words should also be considered meaningless from a semantic and literary perspective, and presents analysis of frequency profiles of function words in characters from Charles Dickens' Christmas Books to argue they may provide insights.
The document discusses staff development (SD) in schools and discusses how SD aims to improve education by developing the skills and expertise of teaching staff through activities like workshops and training sessions. It notes SD was introduced in 2008 and explores some of the challenges of SD, such as balancing standardized training with the individual needs of teachers. The document concludes by wondering how SD can overcome polarization and bring people together for the sake of students.
