Supervised physical exercise in adolescents with anorexia nervosa: systematic review
Authors: Csordas Michele Casser , Panceri Carolina
Published: July 2017

Diversos estudos abordam a prática da atividade física supervisionada em tratamento de anorexia nervosa, porém divergem em relação aos possíveis benefícios/prejuízos. Nosso objetivo foi revisar sistematicamente os efeitos do exercício físico supervisionado sobre o índice de massa corporal (IMC) em adolescentes durante o tratamento para anorexia nervosa. Foram consultadas as bases de dados: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane e SCOPUS. Os termos de busca utilizados foram: exercise, anorexia e adolescente, sendo selecionados artigos baseados nos desfechos de interesse de IMC. Foi encontrado um total de 591 artigos. Destes, foram selecionados três, que analisaram os efeitos do exercício físico supervisionado sobre o IMC em adolescentes durante o tratamento para anorexia nervosa. Não houve prejuízos em relação ao peso das pacientes, porém os ganhos não foram tão evidentes por marcadores clínicos ou biológicos. Há uma carência de estudos que avaliem a validade de atividade física durante o tratamento de anorexia em adolescentes.

Published: July 2017

O cuidado às vítimas de violência sexual exige conhecimento das evidências e treinamento. Exame e acompanhamento psiquiátrico da interrupção legal da gestação e atendimento a grupos familiares incestuosos revelam janelas de vulnerabilidades e oportunidades na prevenção das graves consequências dessas ofensas. O objetivo deste estudo foi reunir conhecimento crítico sobre gravidez indesejada pós-estupro, suas repercussões e abordagens, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de protocolos e boas práticas. Tratase de revisão integrativa, coleta de dados em fontes secundárias (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO), com base na experiência vivenciada pela primeira autora. Os seguintes descritores nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa foram utilizados: transtorno mental, violência sexual, estupro, gravidez e aborto. A amostra foi de 32 artigos científicos e dois da mídia leiga. Com o adoecimento mental e físico das vítimas de violência sexual, a economia mundial perde mais de 8 trilhões de dólaresano (hospitalizações psiquiátricas, dependência de álcool e drogas, suicídio, obesidade, enxaqueca, doenças cardiovasculares, problemas obstétricos), havendo maior peso estatístico para portadoras de déficit intelectual e adolescentes. Existem 37 unidades de saúde no Brasil que atendem gravidez pós-estupro – três possuem assistência psiquiátrica. Milhares dessas gravidezes não são reveladas, geram conflitos, riscos e desafios relativos aos filhos gerados. O aborto legal envolve dificuldades institucionais e emocionais dos profissionais e pacientes frente a decisões complexas e dolorosas antes, durante e após o procedimento. A prontidão cognitivo-afetiva para receber cuidados, quando tardia, compromete a vida de vítimas e seus filhos. Conclui-se que combater e prevenir a transmissão transgeracional da violência de gênero e gravidez pós-estupro deve ser prioridade de saúde pública.

Entangled Tropical Knowledges: Towards a Poetics of Knowledge and Place-Making in Nineteenth Century Voyaging Narratives
Authors: Davis Michael
Published: July 2017

Footsteps mark the land as people walk through the north eastern Queensland tropics. Here, in the mid-1800s, botanical explorers from the survey ship HMS Rattlesnake scour their newly encountered environment for species that will be sent as specimens to the growing collections in London. Local Aboriginal people walk with them, perhaps as guides, possibly interpreters. The narratives for this voyage refer to some individual Aboriginal people who accompanied the Europeans as cotaiga, companion – a word from one of the Cape York Peninsula languages. Meetings and encounters between these voyagers and the local people take place around conversations and communications concerning local environmental knowledge. In this paper I look more closely at these ‘knowledge encounters’, to consider the complex poetics of entanglements between local Indigenous knowledges and Western modes of knowledge and representations of the local environment. Interrogating the voyaging narratives for their depictions of these encounters-in-place, my paper will meditate upon philosophies of movement, of walking and being in place, and of place making in the tropics. The paper will also ask questions about the role of historical representations of entangled tropical knowledge formations in present day concerns about climate and environmental change.
New Pioneers of Cairns: 1950 – 2000
Authors: Libke Carol
Published: July 2017

This paper will include the voices of some of the people that will be included in a book I am currently writing entitled New Pioneers of Cairns: 1950 – 2000. This 50-year period encompasses the rebuilding phase of Cairns following the Second World War. Today I will highlight the stories of the people I refer to as ‘New Pioneers’ and acknowledge their contribution to Cairns. The primary reason for writing the book is to recognise those who have contributed to the growth of the region, to say ‘thank you’ while these people are still alive and to leave a lasting historical record for the generations that follow.
Spirituality in Place: Capturing the Essence of North Queensland through Painting
Authors: Cheshire Barbara , Daniel Ryan
Published: July 2017

For centuries, artists have been inspired by place. This perception and awareness of place can also involve a spiritual connection. Artists from both Aboriginal culture and white settlement in Australia have painted works which reveal a deep spiritual connection to place. One of the geographical areas that has inspired several artists is North Queensland, which offers a rich tapestry of dry and wet tropical environments. This article considers an historical overview and deconstructs the work of four contemporary painters (Firth-Smith, Silver, Watson, and Cheshire) who have been inspired by the place that is North Queensland, in order to consider the ways in which their work reveals a spiritual connection to place.
Placemaking through Dasein: Painting Tropical Space
Authors: Meyer Angela , Naylor Stephen , Lansdown Richard
Published: July 2017

This paper looks at the role of art in understanding place as a construct of the imagination, reactions to the real and lived experience. The making of a place by the activities and actions within place constitute over time notions of what things are, what they mean and how meaning is constructed from symbolism and kinaesthesia. Placemaking establishes the meaning of a spatial context by symbolic gestures, objects and experiences. Dasein internalises inherent meaning from being in space where; “Dasein is thoroughly temporal,” and, “self and world are a unity” (Guignon, 2006, p. 134). These things together formulate the temporal frontier of culture as a transient space of activity and evolution. The tropics as a framework were explored in my research through artists painting the wet tropics of North Queensland.
Theatre as Research – A Mysterious Mix
Authors: Vallack Jocene
Published: July 2017

The Australian Curriculum mandates that Arts will be taught as part of the Foundation to Year 10 program in schools. My background as a Theatre-in-Education performer and as a Drama teacher has informed an approach to doing research with children, which involves making up plays about local stories. Firstly, local folk are interviewed and their anecdotes are recorded as data. The children then analyse and interpret the data, as a group, with the help of their teacher. It is then synthesised into a written play script. I have found this Theatre as Research approach to be a wonderful tool for integrating the teaching of local history with the Arts. It also has potential to strengthen community bonds and enhance inter-generational communication. Once the play has been created, the storytellers are invited as audience members to see their lives played out on stage.The paper will relate examples of how I have performed ethnographic Drama with various secondary and tertiary students to facilitate and present research. It will then offer a step by step approach for doing Theatre as Education.
The Role of the Internet in the Endurance of “La Llorona” as a Liminal Archetypal Monster in Modern Latin American Society
Authors: Ramírez Plascencia David
Published: July 2017

Monsters are liminal beings that not only portray fears,  proscriptions and collective norms, they are also embedded with special qualities that scare and, at the same time, captivate  people’s inquisitiveness. Monstrosities are present in practically all cultures; they remain alive, being passed from one generation to another, often altering their characteristics over time. Modernity and science have not ended people’s belief in paranormal beings; to the contrary, they are still vivid and fresh, with contemporary societies updating and incorporating them into daily life. This paper analyses one of the most well-known legends of Mexico and Latin America, the ghost of “La Llorona” (the weeping woman). The legend of La Llorona can be traced to pre-Hispanic cultures in Mexico, however, the presence of a phantasmagoric figure chasing strangers in rural and urban places has spread across the continent, from Mexico and Central America, to Latino communities in the United States of America. The study of this liminal creature aims to provide a deep sense of her characteristics – through spaces, qualities and meanings; and to furthermore understand how contemporary societies have adopted and modernised this figure, including through the internet. The paper analyses different  versions of the legend shared across online platforms and are analysed using Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s (1996) theoretical tool described in his work Monster Culture (Seven Theses), which demonstrates La Llorona’s liminal qualities.
Tropical Liminal: Urban Vampires & Other Blood-Sucking Monstrosities
Authors: Lundberg Anita , Geerlings Lennie
Published: July 2017

Vampires and other blood-sucking monstrous beings constitute some of the most famous myths, legends and stories that continue to haunt contemporary societies. This special issue examines the presence of these beings within cities and their rural surrounds. The contributions to this special issue reflect upon vampires and other monstrosities in relation to the tropical regions of the world from historical pasts to present-day manifestations, and imaginary tropical futures, including: the British colonial empire in the tropical east, New Orleans in the deep south of the United States, across the border to Mexico and Latin American communities, over to India and Southeast Asia, including Bangkok in Thailand, Singapore, and Sabah on the island of Borneo, and to the tropical east coast of Australia. However, the concept of the tropics is not simply a geographical construct, the imaginary of the tropics also emerges out of the spaces of mythology and oral storytelling, ethnographic reports, literature, science fiction magazines, film and television, video games and the internet.
Vampires in Video Games: Mythic Tropes for Innovative Storytelling
Authors: Dillon Roberto , Lundberg Anita
Published: July 2017

This paper discusses traditional vampire tropes as a tool for innovation and novel experiences in the history of video games. A selection of games and vampires will be analysed in terms of  gameplay and storytelling elements to show how the rich  mythology and folklore that characterises these liminal beings can be successfully employed in a variety of settings and contexts. We draw on examples from the early days of video games with titles like “Dracula” (Imagic for Intellivision, 1982) set in a virtual London and evoking European folklore, to the rich possibilities offered by “Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines” (Activision for PC, 2004) which conjures up the sub-tropical New Orleans vampire tradition, and then turn to the latest experimental games using the example  of “Tainted” (ITE/NUS for PC, 2016), which taps into the rich Pontianak vampire-ghost myths of the Malay Archipelago. Different experiences will be discussed via explanatory lenses – such as  Labov’s (1972, 1997) narrative analysis and the AGE/6-11 framework (Dillon, 2010, 2016) – to gain insights into how to build compelling myth-based narrative in games in original and surprising ways. The paper also analyses how specific vampire myths reflect socio-cultural issues of particular times and places. Thus, every  telling of such myths – whether though oral tales, novels, cinema,  or video games – brings the myth alive to engage with liminal or repressed aspects of a society.
Man-Eating Teddy Bears of the Scrub: Exploring the Australian Drop Bear Urban Legend
Authors: Livingston Catherine , Goldfinch Felise , Morgan Rhian
Published: July 2017

Urban legends are contemporary forms of folklore that are often used to provide lessons in morality or explicate local beliefs, dangers, or customs. In Australia, one such tale describes fiendish, carnivorous, blood-sucking koala-like animals that launch themselves from trees at unsuspecting tourists in the Australian scrub. The drop bear (also known as Thylarctos plummetus or Thylarctos plummetus vampirus) is an urban legend common to tropical Australian scrub regions that serves as a cautionary tale intended to warn against the dangers associated with traversing the Australian bush. As such, the figure of the drop bear represents a uniquely Australian manifestation of the vampire motif. This article examines representations of the drop bear urban legend as provided in contemporary pseudo-scientific, satirical, and popular media sources by means of critical discourse analysis, in addition to exploring how archaeological evidence has been mobilised in support of drop bear narratives. Through a critical review of drop bear tales in accordance with established folklore typologies the paper posits a categorisation of drop bear narratives as urban legend, while also explicating the impacts of social media and the internet on the perpetuation and dissemination of the drop bear legend.

Ontario’s Full-Day Kindergarten and Report Cards: Honouring Children’s Learning and Development through Reflective Evaluation Practices
Authors: Mastrangelo Sonia
Published: July 2017

The Ontario Full Day Kindergarten (FDK) program, now in its fifth year, celebrates children’s intentionality and natural curiosity about the world. Consequently, a report card is needed to support the vision for the new full-day early learning program in Ontario. A preliminary review of the report cards reveals that expectations/outcomes have been categorized and quantified. The scales being used vary considerably from school board to school board and these variations include: using numeric scales of achievement (Levels 1-4); providing descriptors for a specific skill set (i.e. emerging, developing at expected level, beyond expected level); or evaluating progress based on frequency (i.e. sometimes evident, always evident, not yet evident). Additionally, although reports should include next steps for the Early Learning–Kindergarten team, as well as next steps for the parents to assist them in supporting their child’s learning (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2010), our preliminary review reveals that while this information is sometimes communicated variably or informally, it is only periodically included in completed report cards. The overall focus of the new FDK program is on developing children’s problem solving and metacognitive skills (encouraging children to think about their thinking). In addition, the goal is for children to develop self-motivation and self-regulation so that they can become self-directed, lifelong learners. A new report card is needed to embrace this new vision for full-day learning which is based on child directedness and inquiry. In this article we: a) present the background on the inception of the Full-Day Kindergarten program in Ontario; b) share insights and evaluative methods from the Reggio Emilia approach of pedagogical documentation for reporting growth and learning of four and five year olds in an attempt to inform our practices in Ontario; and c) present a standardized provincial Kindergarten report card that is aligned to Pascal’s vision for full day early learning.
Induction and Internship

Published: July 2017

One of the most exciting activitiesf or me at the start of each school year is meeting hundreds of new teachers at the Induction program for new teachers to the Board. While it is energizing to sense the enthusiasm and positive anxiety of people beginning their career in teaching it is also frustrating to realize that as a School Board we are not providing the level of support for beginning teachers that we deem necessary. This is a consequence of the reality of the allocation of resources to school boards rather than a lack of desire. What forms of support would be helpful?
Mentoring and the Role of the Principal
Authors: Simpson Michael
Published: July 2017

In the current climate of schooling in Ontario for teachers, leaders in education are faced with numerous challenges. School reform is a constant; changes in curriculum, assessment and evaluation are on-going; accountability is a factor that districts, individual schools and teachers themselves face. Provincial testing of students coupled with the scrutinizing of teachers' professional development are only two sources of the pressures felt by those in the classroom today. In Ontario over the next five years, all teachers will have to complete a minimum of fourteen professional learning courses to maintain their license to teach; graduates from faculties of education will have to pass a qualifying test as of May, 2002; and a uniform performance appraisal process for all those teaching in the province is looming. (Capstick, 2001).
Developing a Diagnostic Assessment Model
Authors: Wagner James
Published: July 2017

The recent implementation of annual testing at the grade 3, 6 and 9 levels by the Education Quality Assessment Office has forced the school boards in Ontario to try to come to grips with the problem of measuring student achievement. This problem is not a new one in that teachers have been concerned about evaluating student progress since the advent of schooling . In this respect, the literature suggests that most teachers are quite capable of identifying the students in their classrooms who are or are not making sufficient progress. Why then do we need formal testing and in particular, large scale high stakes assessments?
The Halton District School Board Focus: Assessing for Learning

Published: July 2017

Teachers have been asked to make significant changes in their classroom assessment practices over the last few years. Prior to secondary school reform, most teachers' past experiences and learning focused on norm referenced evaluation that was communicated by a percentage grade on the report card. Throughout the course, students' efforts and achievement in relationship to paper pencil tasks were recorded, averaged and calculated to determine the final grade.
Youth Resiliency: Assessing Students' Capacity for Success at School
Authors: Donnon Tyrone , Hammond Wayne , Charles Grant
Published: July 2017

As opposed to the problem-based approach of dealing with specific at-risk behaviours in secondary schools, the purpose of Resiliency Canada's self-reported Youth Resiliency: Assessing Developmental Strengths (YR:ADS) questionnaire is to provide a statistically sound and research-based approach to understanding the factors or strengths that are related to the development of adolescent resiliency. Working in collaboration with the Calgary Board of Education from a strength-based approach to understanding child and adolescent development, Resiliency Canada introduces the youth resiliency framework and presents the findings from a large urban sample of grade 7 to 9 students (N=2291). A framework for understanding the construct of resiliency that results from the investigation of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the development of youth resiliency and adaptive behaviour is presented. Outcomes of this research supports both the protective protective and challenge models of resiliency.

Bullying, Schools and the Law
Authors: Chisholm Andrea
Published: July 2017

School bullying is widely perceived as a growing legal problem in Canada. It has become a central issue of concern to many Canadian students, parents, educators, and lawmakers. There is an inordinate amount of literature available to educators, lawyers and other professionals on the topic. The more the phenomenon is studied, the more detrimental its effects are found to be. The experience of bullying can profoundly affect a child's quality of life and ability to learn.

"Sheila is a fat cow", read the first message. "The slut of Baker High is Shelia Frazier," another message screamed at her. "Hey guys and gals for a good time call the freak of Baker High at 222-3030", read the next message. Tears streamed down her face. "How can I go to school tomorrow and face all those awful girls?" She remembered the words of Ashton, "You'll be sorry you didn't join our club. You think you are better than us. We'll show you!" As her cell phone began ringing, fear and dread wrapped around her like a cold wet wool blanket. Panic stricken, she wondered if she had a prank call. Sobbing softly, she felt alone. Worry, fear and dread engulfed her as she thought about the lies posted on the Internet web site. Not only could the kids in the high school see the nasty messages, the whole world now had access to her cell phone number! Shelia knew those girls were bullies at school, but she thought," This has gone too far. What can I do?"

Published: July 2017

Literacy is more than reading and writing. It is about how we communicate and survive in society. It is about social practices, relationships, knowledge, language and culture. Research suggests that often those who are gifted with "literacy" may take these skills for granted - but those who are less fortunate and perhaps even excluded from education and training may often be deprived of human rights, discriminated against and unable to maximize opportunities. Our survey of literacy initiatives demonstrates clearly that those who are less literate seem to best appreciate the notion of 'literacy as freedom'.

One must take care of one's Wantok's: What can we learn?
Authors: Doyle Fr. Michael
Published: July 2017

I am delighted to write the opening article for Teaching and Learning. I have followed its development from inception and applaud its' success . The articles are always informative and full of resources while maintaining that requisite academic tone. They always manage to impart a very personal and reflective view of the topic under study . I have known Ray Chodzinski for almost forty years and together we have spent many a long night, over good scotch, discussing issues and concerns that affect student learning. So, it is here, that I share, rather than profess, a reflective perspective, and a thought or two, about child and teen health and safety in schools from a perspective far removed from the experiences of most readers of Teaching and Learning. Yet, hidden in this reflection are perhaps a few gleanings that might prompt others to make additional reflections and associations.

Josephine Bryant, City Librarian, Toronto public Library writes, "here are the powerful stories of youth who agreed to share their experiences and their stories. It is an attempt to bring a positive approach to the issue of street youth. " Fran Fearnley says Adam, Allan, Caitlin, Claire, Debbie, Don, Janice, Kevin and Sue told us about their encounters with violence in one on one-taped interviews. Their very own words transcribed from those interviews, are what you will read. They are authentic oral testimonies as told to an empathetic listener. Dr. Fred Mathews a social worker with Central Toronto Youth Services concludes the book with advice to children and teens about what to do if they or others are or know of someone in need. He reminds young people "they must learn to trust teachers and educators and tell a teacher, principal, school worker, or other adult . I f they do not listen, tell a police officer, a nurse, parents, a friend but tell someone. Don't let previous negative experiences with some adults in power affect your decision, keep trying until you find someone who will believe you and take action. The important thing is do not stand by and let others be harmed. Violence is fueled by silence and stops when we all take a stand." (page 143)
Nutrition in schools: Whose responsibility?
Authors: Gray Sarah
Published: July 2017

It is not uncommon to find educational literature that links poor nutrition to lowered performance on school related tasks and to a variety of behavioural and wellness concerns. Media speaks consistently to the issue of Canadian children who arrive at school either underfed or poorly fed. Nutrition experts refer to what is contained in many lunch bags, or what foods children consume as snacks, as not meeting Canada's Food Guide recommendations. Food served in school cafeterias is often described as less than adequate. Even if children are provided with a proper breakfast and a healthy lunch often they refuse to eat what is provided and supplement with junk food options. To add fuel to the fire, prior to October 2004, elementary school children were able to purchase junk food through vending machines at school. With the passing of significant legislation by the Ontario government, that is no longer the case. However, while vendors are obliged to provide better nutritional choices it does little to alleviate the problem that many school children arrive at school either underfed or not fed at all .

This issue called for papers and articles related to leadership innovations in schools. As I look back on my career, I recall many opportunities to provide leadership not only in schools but also in communities. In each case, there was always an expressed need either presented by existing conditions or through analysis of practices that were not working. Always it was about change and how to improve on what was already happening or not happening in my school environment. I recall that the key driving force behind every venture was what I could do to improve the learning experiences of the students I taught. With each project I learned that vision and creativity were necessary but if the project was to succeed collaboration and cooperation was essential. Over the years I have taken and taught various courses on leadership and the implementation of innovative change strategies. That said, in its simplest terms providing innovative leadership in schools comes down to controlling a variety of factors, far too many to write about in this column. However, I created a little equation for myself (6P's) that has guided every project. Be prepared. With careful Planning (vision and action strategies) a project unfolds as it emerges from infancy to implementation. Cultivate a Principal. Invest energy in an administrator who believes and supports the project (power and funding are important aspects of any project and they can help in this regard.). It is important to understand and accept that effective administrators have the authority and the power to influence decisions. Always collaborate and involve Parents. They are often your key to success and usually your best allies. Involve them in as many ways as possible. Ensure that other Partners (colleagues, students, consultants, media, etc.) are informed, involved and kept in the loop. Keep a high Profile (you need to get your project noticed and accepted). And finally, maintain a Principled approach (ethics, values and adherence to professional practice).

The principal called to confirm that I would be speaking at the school’s commencement ceremony next week. I assured her that I planned to be there and was looking forward to the occasion. It is an honor to be asked to give a commencement address.
Stress on the Tenure Track: A Narrative of my Induction Year as an Education Professor
Authors: Parker Darlene Ciuffetelli
Published: July 2017

I miss my father.

He died this past February, while I was in the midst of my induction year as an assistant professor in the Faculty of Education Pre-service Department at Brock University. It was a difficult time, as anyone who has experienced loss would know, to continue living, doing, working alongside the painful sting of grief. Just a few months ago, another tragedy: the death of a student I had worked closely with in one of my foundational methods courses.
Coffee and Collaboration: A Tean Approach to Talking Learner Challenges
Authors: Kendrick Shirley , Vecchiarino Max
Published: July 2017

The focus of this issue of Teaching and Learning, "Boys and Literacy," is an example of an education concern defined within the context of "authentic inclusive schooling and excellence for all" as defined by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Professionals interested in improving achievement and performance objectives related to student and school based learning and who regularly seek out opportunities to engage in group discussion and collaboration are often able to bring about change within the education environments they are employed. In the instance at hand, boys and literacy it is now more fully understood that beside planning for the host of learner contingencies that contribute to an individual learner profile, gender and socio economic influences and or differences need to be understood within the context of identifying learner challenges and needs. And that they be interpreted and represented in terms of successful classroom practices.
Boys Don't Read - It's True!
Authors: Skuy David
Published: July 2017

Few educational experts would disagree that school-aged boys are falling behind their female counterparts in terms of reading and writing, a gap that both increases with grade levels, and has increased in recent years. Recent studies suggest this trend is not isolated to one geographic region or demographic group. It is all boys across North America and Europe. As a father of a seven-year old son, I worry about my son reading as he gets older. As an author of a Young Adult book series for boys, I worry if there is a market for my books. By the time high school hits over half of all boys describe themselves as non-readers. To make matters worse, the publishing industry has figured this out - and 'Boy Books' have disappeared from the shelves (apart from Harry Potter and its legions of copycats). The economic impact of poor literacy skills for half the population is self-evident. The spiritual impact of a child deprived of one of the great pleasures in life is less obvious, but perhaps even more detrimental to society.
From the Editor:Teaching and Learning is Five Years Old. Moving Forward:
Authors: Chodzinski Raymond
Published: July 2017

This is my last editorship of Teaching and Learning. In my capacity as the first Associate Dean of the Faculty of Education at Brock University, Ontario, Canada, I envisioned and proposed the development of a professional development newsletter/ journal/magazine that would become one of the voices of the Brock-Golden Horseshoe Educational Consortium. This advisory group is a unique coming together of eleven area school boards and a Faculty of Education with a defined purpose to further understanding and increase communication between education partners in the region known to many as the Greater Niagara Golden Horseshoe. It was my intention then that the interviews, articles, reviews and resources and local school board content published in each issue reflect a thematic, purpose with featured, invited, adjudicated, re-edited or reprinted professional development articles. More important it would be reader friendly, professionally informative and a publication that readers would want to collect, refer to and pass on. I believe that over the years the journal has evolved and delivered on its promise and has established a forum for new writers and previously published experts across a broad range of themes featured in the 11 issues published since Spring 2002. Our first printing, Internship and Mentorship was between 300 and 500 copies. Since then we graduated to a high of almost twelve thousand printed copies of the issue on Bullying (sold out twice) and have regularly printed and distributed between 7000 - 8500, (32-36 pages ) copies of each issue such as Storytelling, Boys and Literacy, Stress in Schools, Leadership, Assessment and other titles. Authors and readers including a small but dedicated group of subscribers comprise not only a local following but a national and international base of contributors, readers and believers. This, my final issue as editor, brings together an interesting blend of articles that deal with action research as a viable and robust research method for dealing with issues that arise in education and social care settings.
In the name of Action Research
Authors: Zerillo Vanessa C.
Published: July 2017

Research is defined as ‘scholarly or scientific investigation or inquiry.’ Unfortunately, the term “research” creates anxiety for many teachers, in large part because of its inferred statistical analyses and all sorts of charts and graphs. They fear it; therefore, they avoid it! Other educators become quite cynical. “Research and statistics can prove anything you want it to!” they say. The stark reality is that experimental research designs have often created these fears as well as snide commentary. A theory is hypothesized, a design for study is created, data is collected and then analyzed (yes, most often with involved statistics!) and recommendations are made. Often, the design is sterile and far removed from the reality of classroom activities. Recommendations are made but never tried and then assessed. If practitioners do not fully understand the statistics and if the information is not applicable to their everyday teaching, it can be impossible to apply the research and make positive change
