The HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is designed to help guide teachers in identifying gifted students for programming. It is unique in several ways. First, it is short, with only 11 items that measure academic and social/affective components of giftedness, making it easy to use.

Finally, local norms ensure that the data are relevant to the specific school populations. With multiple measures and multiple pathways crucial for reversing the inequities in identifying culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse students, a teacher-nomination i...
Valério Teles Pires traz a lume sua autobiografia, relatando sua trajetória de vida pessoal e profissional. No entanto, não se atém apenas a sua biografia. Faz um apanhado da genealogia, buscando dados de seus avós e seus pais, para montar a árvore genealógica de sua família. Rebusca em sua memória, reminiscências, e retrata em suas crônicas a luta do homem do campo, em épocas distantes, levando-nos a uma viagem ao passado. Apresenta, aos que não conhecem, o nostálgico carro de boi com sua cantiga que ficou perdida nas brumas do tempo, depois da chegada do progresso. Com formação em Engenharia Agronômica, o autor sempre atuou na área de planejamento e assistência técnica ao produtor rural e, por isso mesmo, tem conhecimento de causa para falar sobre solo, agricultura e outros assuntos pertinentes a esse segmento. É um livro que vale a pena ser lido! Sandra Rosa Escritora com 12 livros publicados

This edited volume examines entanglements and disentanglements between Africa and East Germany during and after the Cold War from a global history perspective. Extending the view beyond political elites, it asks for the negotiated and plural character of socialism in these encounters and sheds light on migration, media, development, and solidarity through personal and institutional agency. With its distinctive focus on moorings and unmoorings, the volume shows how the encounters, albeit often brief, significantly influenced both African and East German histories.
