This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glynnese Glossary is that rare beast, a dictionary of a family language. Many families develop favourite words and phrases, giving them unique meanings based on passing events or encounters. For the most part these fade into oblivion with the death of their users. The families of William Gladstone, several times Prime Minister of England, and of his wife Catherine Glynne, however, developed an unusually rich and persistent language; and this was recorded in the Glossary in 1851 by Gladstone's brother-in-law George, Lord Lyttelton, who married Catherine Glynne's sister Mary. Glynnese can be traced through generations of family memoirs, and the families' lofty social status led to its being taken up by outsiders. Lyttelton was a talented student of language, and in the Glossary he draws on the contemporary popularity of philology to produce a spoof dictionary which parodies the tradition of dialect glossaries, while accurately recording the eccentric vagaries of Glynnese. George William, 4th Baron Lyttelton (1817-76) was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was Senior Classic (top of the first class in Classics) in 1838. In 1839 he and William Gladstone married the sisters Mary and Catherine Glynne in a double wedding conducted by the brides' father. He had eight sons and four daughters, and a further three daughters by his second wife. Lyttelton and Gladstone were both keen composers in Latin and Greek, and published a book of translations from English literature together in 1861. Lyttelton devoted much of his life to public service, especially in education, sitting on two Royal Commissions in the 1860s. He was a manic depressive, and committed suicide in 1876.

Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1851. Excerpt: ... A common and popular expression among the Glynnese, and apparently a sporting or military metaphor, as of a gun flashing in the pan: and so used to signify any sham appearance of splendour, power, or the like, when the substance is wanting. Lady Glynne applied it to her daughter's marriage with Lord Lyttelton, alluding to the combination, in that nobleman's circumstances, of respectable rank with comparative poverty: 'quite a false flash.' Obviously another military metaphor, derived from musketry-practice, or perhaps from the pleasant recollection of a review. But it is applied by the professors with extraordinary latitude, so that it almost seems that any action in life may be called firing-away. The critics however are unanimous in holding, that its most proper sense is that of writing a letter. So Sir S. Glynne will say 'I shall sit down and fire-away a cocked-hat note' (see below) at Also of making a speech: 'I shall go and hear William fire-away to night.' (Mrs. Gladstone.) The tenth-rate scholar above-mentioned, the Rev. Mr. Lyttelton, takes special delight in the investigation of this idiom. o Jsfjoto (c)ne'$f fthtg. A metaphor of a different, namely a matrimonial kind. The ground-idea of it is that of a rather vulgar and silly bride, (compare Mrs. Major Waddell in The Inheritance) who in order to show to the general observer her promotion to the order of married ladies, loses no opportunity of obtruding her wedding-ring in a prominently visible position. Hence with admirable audacity it is applied to any act of self satisfaction or vanity, on the part of any one of any age or sex. Examples: Lady Lyttelton with great complacency to her husband, ' Who shows his ring about his eldest son's Latin?' Mrs. Gladstone in a letter from London: 'Saw j s.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions Towards a Glossary of the Glynne Language: To Which Is Added the Doubting Dowanger, or a Tale of a House; An Epic Poem in One Canto These phrases are put together in illustration of the great difficulty of discriminating accurately between some of the expressions of this language. They do not mean quite the same, yet nearly so. They both mean sitting in expectation of some probable or anticipated event. Perhaps it may be said briefly, that to sit tight is to be in eager expectation, to sit crosslegged to be in patient expectation. The former when the event is much-desired, and imminent: but may fail. The latter when it is pretty sure to happen, but may be delayed for some time.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Download or read book The Language of Science Education written by William F. McComas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language of Science Education: An Expanded Glossary of Key Terms and Concepts in Science Teaching and Learning is written expressly for science education professionals and students of science education to provide the foundation for a shared vocabulary of the field of science teaching and learning. Science education is a part of education studies but has developed a unique vocabulary that is occasionally at odds with the ways some terms are commonly used both in the field of education and in general conversation. Therefore, understanding the specific way that terms are used within science education is vital for those who wish to understand the existing literature or make contributions to it. The Language of Science Education provides definitions for 100 unique terms, but when considering the related terms that are also defined as they relate to the targeted words, almost 150 words are represented in the book. For instance, “laboratory instruction” is accompanied by definitions for openness, wet lab, dry lab, virtual lab and cookbook lab. Each key term is defined both with a short entry designed to provide immediate access following by a more extensive discussion, with extensive references and examples where appropriate. Experienced readers will recognize the majority of terms included, but the developing discipline of science education demands the consideration of new words. For example, the term blended science is offered as a better descriptor for interdisciplinary science and make a distinction between project-based and problem-based instruction. Even a definition for science education is included. The Language of Science Education is designed as a reference book but many readers may find it useful and enlightening to read it as if it were a series of very short stories.
