LEADING INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: INVESTIGATING THE PREDICTIVE VALIDITY OF AN OBSERVATION INSTRUMENT IN A LARGE DISTRICT

Leading Indicators of Academic Achievement: Investigating the Predictive Validity of an Observation Instrument in a Large District

Instructional leaders require timely and predictive data to guide post-pandemic systemic changes.We investigated the predictability of an observational instrument, the Rigor Appraisal, and its association with achievement and other school effectiveness measures in a sample of 53 schools in Illinois.We found that increases in the Rigor Appraisal had

Two-phase nanofluid model and magnetic field effects on mixed convection in a lid-driven cavity containing heated triangular wall

The current numerical study looked into the magneto-hydrodynamics mixed convection of nanofluid in a lid-driven square cavity subjected to heating by a triangular thick wall.The nanofluid heat transfer was modelled by using a two-phase Buongiorno model, whereas obtaining a numerical solution for the governing equations was described using the finit

Heat Transfer in Segregated Fluidized Beds Part 2: Particle Motion and Its Effects on the Heat transfer in the Segregated Fluidized Beds

In our previous paper, particle and temperature segregations in a fluidized bed of binary particle mixtures were experimentally examined, and heat transfer in the segregated fluidized bed was investigated.As the results, it was shown that the temperature segregation results mainly from low heat transfer coefficient through the interface layer, whic
