The document provides Delaware's plan for implementing the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It outlines the vision, leadership team, research base, and action plans for communication, assessment, instructional practices, curricular resources, and infrastructure. The research base discusses the need for professional development in science education to actively engage teachers in investigating phenomena, build understanding of science content and pedagogy, and promote collaboration. Effective professional development incorporates sustained learning over time, focuses on student and teacher needs, and supports lifelong learning. Video analysis, collaborative sensemaking, and technology-enabled environments are recommended strategies for professional development during NGSS implementation.
This document summarizes a freeCodeCamp Tokyo meetup on July 20, 2016. The meetup was held at Fork Inc and included an opening, pair programming sessions, a presentation on modern JavaScript features like arrows and classes, challenges from freeCodeCamp, and a drinking party.

Program Project, or P01, grants support multifaceted, long-term research programs with a major objective or theme. Program Project Grants involve the organized efforts of relatively large groups, often from multiple disciplines, wishing to collaborate by bringing together their know-how and resources. P01s are designed to meet the needs of projects whose end goal could not be achieved by investigators working independently. Additionally, the interactions and/or core facilities made possible by the P01 strengthen the individual projects of each of the members.
Getting the seal of approval from reviewers for a P01 project requires a strong leader and masterful organization, among other key elements. To succeed, you must convince reviewers of the synergy and added value resulting from this type of collaboration. Integration of all the moving parts into the whole takes time, careful planning and unparalleled management skills.
During this partnership-driven Webinar, your expert presenter will go over the basic structure of P01s, the importance of reading and following the directions, the strong focus on management, and the justification for cores for the P01. Selection and integration of the projects will be covered as will how to emphasize the synergy of the work to be done.
5 Key Take-Aways:
1. Basic structure of P01 applications
2. Management that sells the proposal
3. How to get people in the program to work together so that the plan can be integrated
4. How to justify the need for certain cores
5. How to find the right niche for a P01
The document discusses the recent Harvey v DPP ruling that found swearing at police officers using the "F word" is not necessarily a criminal offense. It summarizes that the Court of Appeal confirmed profanity alone does not constitute threatening, abusive, or insulting behavior if officers frequently hear such language and are not genuinely harassed, alarmed or distressed. It overturns the public order conviction of Denzel Harvey, who repeatedly swore at officers searching him when no drugs were found. The ruling highlights changing social attitudes toward bad language.
