Forward to Special Issue: Teacher Education for High Poverty Schools

The six papers in this special issue are all related, in one way or another, to the National Exceptional Teaching for Disadvantaged Schools program (NETDS). NETDS began in 2009 at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane, Australia, and with the support of philanthropy expanded to another six universities nationally. Although the papers in this issue are all related to NETDS, they are not necessarily about NETDS; rather, they reflect the range of scholarship taking place within this emerging network and provide a window on how teacher education for high poverty schools within mainstream Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs can be done differently. Together, the papers draw on the scholarship of researchers who were already respected experts in the field of teacher education and high poverty schools prior to involving themselves in the program. The first five papers are written by scholars from the seven Australian universities who now deliver NETDS programs. The remaining paper is by researchers who are part of the extended international NETDS network, in this case, from Spain. Collectively, these papers represent a broad coalition of scholars with whom we collaborate and who are engaged with the NETDS program at both theoretical and practical levels. Importantly, all contributing authors share the common goal of shifting how teachers work with students who have been historically marginalised and disadvantaged

CONTINUOUS REGISTRATION OF THE HAND-CURVE IN ROWING: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SCULL AND SWEEP ROWERS

The aims of this study were to examine the shape of the rowing hand-curves, in addition to, assessing the repeatability of hand-curves, between sweep and scull rowers. Data from 10 scullers and 8 sweep State to National level rowers were collected at increasing ratings. As there were no significant differences apparent between ratings, data were pooled. The repeatability of the sculling hand-curve was higher than the sweep rowers. Scullers exhibited a significantly longer stroke arc than sweep rowers and the degree of hand drop into the catch exhibited by scullers was greater for the left hand than the right. The catch height and finish height in scullers was significantly higher in the left hand than the right hand. The normal hand-curve demonstrated by athletes of this level approached, but did not mimic the "ideal" hand path presented in the literature

Assessment of the biophysical characteristics of rangeland community using scatterometer and optical measurements

Research activities for the following study areas are summarized: single scattering of parallel direct and axially symmetric diffuse solar radiation in vegetative canopies; the use of successive orders of scattering approximations (SOSA) for treating multiple scattering in a plant canopy; reflectance of a soybean canopy using the SOSA method; and C-band scatterometer measurements of the Konza tallgrass prairie

QUANTIFYING THE HAND-CURVE AND OARLOCK FORCES FOR DETERMINING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXPERIENCED AND ELITE MALE SWEEP ROWERS

Rowing lends itself well to biomechanical research given that it is a closed, cyclic skill that is technically demanding. While a relatively large number of papers have been published on the force profile of the rowing stroke and its effect on performance (DalMonte and Komor, 1989; Millward, 1987), very little research has been conducted into describing specific technical points which may lead to undesirable force characteristics. To allow a more knowledgeable feedback to an athlete's technique, such that improved performances result, it is necessary to isolate the critical factors that can discriminate between performance levels. Angst (1980) prepared a paper in which he subjectively described a relationship between the path that the handle of the oar described (hand-curve) and the shape of the force profile. The hand-curve is one method that could be used as a more direct feedback to the rower, with observable adjustments in technique having direct implications to the force applied. The current project involves determining those hand-curve and force profile variables that can be used to effectively differentiate between performance levels in sweep rowing
