  In statehouses, school boards, and communities across the US, battles are raging over the direction of education policy—from the standards that are shaping what students learn to how test results are being used to judge a teacher's performance. What's more, the COVID-19 pandemic is prompting educators to rethink the school's mission in society. 
   
   
   
  In The Education Debate, nationally recognized education authority David Kirp and Kevin Macpherson provide a balanced, accessible overview of the key policy and practice issues in pre k-12 education today. They expose the fault lines of the major debates—what values should guide education and how can those values best be incorporated in policy and practice. They focus on equity and equality of opportunity as well as the tension between market and bureaucratic mechanisms as drivers of school improvement. Many of the topics they address, including racial integration, charter schools, student rights and teachers' unions, are hotly contested. In an area where partisanship reigns, Kirp and Macpherson take an approach guided by research and not driven by ideology. A primer for educational policymakers and administrators, parents, and undergraduate and graduate students in education courses, The Education Debate offers a solid grasp of the major debates in contemporary education policy.

  Medical research is the backbone of advancing healthcare, providing critical insights that shape clinical practices, influence public health policies, and guide the development of new treatments. The primary goal of medical research is to generate reliable and reproducible evidence that can inform decisions on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. By understanding the methods of medical research, healthcare professionals and researchers can better evaluate, design, and implement studies that contribute to improving patient care. 
  The importance of research in medicine cannot be overstated, as it allows for the discovery of new knowledge, the development of innovative therapies, and the evaluation of existing medical practices. Medical research has been instrumental in reducing mortality rates, improving the quality of life, and enhancing the effectiveness of treatments. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in addressing emerging health challenges, such as pandemics, chronic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. 
  At the heart of medical research are study designs, which dictate the methodology for investigating hypotheses and answering research questions. Different types of research designs are used depending on the objectives of the study, the nature of the research question, and the available resources. These designs are broadly categorized into two types: experimental and observational. Experimental designs, such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), involve the manipulation of variables to test the effects of an intervention, whereas observational designs, such as cohort or case-control studies, examine associations without direct manipulation. Each design has its strengths and limitations, and the choice of design depends on the specific research question, ethical considerations, and feasibility.

  MARILYN MONROE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson, was an American actress and model, becoming a 1950s sex symbol known for her "blonde bombshell" persona. Her early life was spent in foster homes and an orphanage. She began a successful modeling career before transitioning into acting, landing roles in comedies and dramas. Monroe's personal life, including marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller, was heavily publicized. She struggled with the studio system, seeking roles that showcased more than her sex appeal. Her death at 36 from a barbiturate overdose was ruled a probable suicide. Monroe remains a pop culture icon, though her acting abilities are debated. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Marilyn Monroe's birth name was Norma Jeane Mortenson, and she was born on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. She spent much of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage.  
    
  Monroe's mother, Gladys Pearl Baker, had a history of mental health issues and was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, which resulted in Monroe becoming a ward of the state. Monroe was not told that she had a sister until she was 12 years old.  
    
  At the age of 16, Monroe married James Dougherty to avoid returning to an orphanage, and she dropped out of high school to become a housewife. Though the marriage was initially described as happy, Monroe later said she was "dying of boredom".  
    
  During World War II, Monroe worked in a factory and began a successful pin-up modeling career, which led to film contracts. A photographer from the First Motion Picture Unit is who she met at the factory.

  In the past 15 years cutting-edge innovations in neuroscience have led to one of the most powerful insights in human history…that within each and every one of us there are natural biological potentials for real happiness. In this course, you will learn how to harness your brain's own natural anti-depressants and uncover your true potential for joy!
   
  I'm Elisha Goldstein, author of The Now Effect and most recently Uncovering Happiness: Overcoming Depression with Mindfulness and Self-Compassion. For over 15 years I've been studying and teaching the psychology, neuroscience and practice of uncovering happiness in everyday life.
   
  Along the way I've dug deep into a variety of disciplines and discovered some key natural anti-depressants that:
  
    turn the volume down on our negative thinking,
    lower our stress,
    heighten states of joy and
    wire in the balance and confidence that we can all learn and attain.
  
   
  This has been my experience, the experience of thousands of people I've worked with and is also backed by the latest science.
   
  
   
  About The Symposium
   
  The Uncovering Happiness Symposium is a very personal project for me. It's been my life's work to uncover the potential in each and every one of us for uncovering happiness and I couldn't be more thrilled to bring it to you right now.
   
  In this Symposium you'll learn:
   
  · The key ingredients of lasting happiness
   
  · How to practically bring them into your daily life
   
  · And how to do it so you change your brain for the better
   
  Ultimately you will learn how to take back control of your mind, your mood and your life, sewing the seeds for real lasting happiness.
