In nursing, it refers to a healing process where the treatment is responsive to an identified need.

Happy Four Years of Blogging to Me by Christopher Wooleyhand, Ph.D.

This was my first post four years ago. I’ve written dozens of posts since, but I revisit this one to remind myself why I started.

It seems like a simple and practical wish. Common sense leaders are confident in their ability, but also keenly aware that they don’t know it all.

Little Sleepers: Long-Term Effects of Preschool by Robert E. Slavin

Little Sleepers: Long-Term Effects of Preschool
   Robert E. Slavin

In education research, a "sleeper effect" is not a way to get all of your preschoolers to take naps. Instead, it is an outcome of a program that appears not immediately after the end of the program, but some time afterwards, usually a year or more.

I've written about it before, but at his age, I really struggled with…
