Reading Success in the Secondary Classroom

Preventing School Failure: Alternative Education for Children and Youth, 2008
Serious reading problems exist among adolescent learners, as evidenced by declining national reading scores and increased dropout rates. Teachers can reverse this downward spiral by using the scaffolded reading experience (SRE) in their instruction. SRE is an organizational framework that secondary teachers may use to integrate the reading process into

Encroachment and Secondary Succession

2013
There are estimations suggesting that approximately 60 million ha of grasslands in the American southwest have been encroached by various woody species and converted to savannas, shrublands, or woodlands (Humphrey 1958; Grover and Musick 1990). Interestingly, this is more than the total estimated area of these grasslands (Laurenroth 1979).

Successful secondary principalship in Cyprus

International Journal of Educational Management, 2012
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into successful secondary school principals in Cyprus, focusing on identifying their actions and behaviours through the adoption of a systemic view of the quality of leadership in school organizations from multiple stakeholders (i.e.

The Ecology of Secondary Succession

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1974
Rather than review the ample and expanding literature of succession, as Drury & Nisbet (12) have lately and nobly done, I propose to cover some recent developments in population biology that have profound implications for theories and patterns of secondary succession.

Creating a Successful Secondary School

NASSP Bulletin, 1986
There are no shortcuts to creating and maintaining an effective school. The necessary ingredients—as identified in a study of schools recognized for excellence—include clear goals, high expectations, and hard work.

Hypogonadism Secondary to Hyperprolactinaemia: Successful Treatment but Adverse Consequences

Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes, 2012
AbstractIt is accepted that care must be taken in initiating testosterone replacement in hypogonadal individuals with historically low androgen levels. However less is reported about the influence of restoration of normal endogenous testosterone production on behaviour.Here we report how the adverse sequelae of successful treatment of hypogonadism ...

Nitrification Potentials in Primary and Secondary Succession

Ecology, 1981
Potential nitrogen mineralization and nitrification were measured in soils from a primary successional sequence developed on sand dunes and from a secondary successional sequence on old fields. Potential nitrogen mineralization in soils from the primary sere increased through the first five stages and then leveled off.

Course of Secondary Succession

1991
The initiation of succession in abandoned meadows and the course of its first phases are influenced by the floristic richness and diversity of the phytocoenosis Cirsietum rivularis. A diagram of the carr sere (Circaeo-Alnetum) has been presented in Figure 2.5, and the species taking part in the succession have been listed in Table 2.5.

Secondary succession in two subtropical forests

Plant Ecology, 1999
We studied secondary succession in two subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests near Shanghai, China that had been harvested 2–60 years earlier. Shrubs were thinned in one of the forests to about 60% of their original density for the first 20 years after harvesting. The other was not disturbed after harvesting. Five stands were sampled in each forest.

Secondary succession impairment in restored mangroves

Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2012
In this work it was hypothesized that secondary succession on sites that have been managed by single planting of mangrove species is compromised by residual stressors, which could reduce the ecosystem’s structural development and lower its functions. Forest structure and environmental characteristics of three planted mangrove stands are compared with ...
