NASAs TRMM spacecraft is used by meteorologists to understand Hurricane Ivan. TRMM views Ivan on September 16, 2004, just as the storms most intense rains and winds makes landfall. The cloud cover is taken by TRMMs Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS). The rain structure is taken by TRMMs Tropical Microwave Imager (TMI). It looks underneath of the storms clouds to reveal the underlying rain structure. Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour. Green shows at least 0.5 inches of rain per hour. Yellow is at least 1.0 inches of rain and red is at least 2.0 inches of rain per hour.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is the federal government’s most recent effort to influence curriculum in America’s classrooms. Its requirements for high-stakes testing and Adequate Yearly Progress have put pressure on teachers and administrators to improve student achievement. Principals whose administrative training was grounded in a managerial model are struggling to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to become instructional leaders. State boards of education are insisting that postsecondary administrative preparation programs teach school leaders how to help teachers to improve student achievement. Alabama’s governor created a task force of educators, civic leaders, and business people to develop a shared vision of effective school leadership, which was published as a standards-based curriculum. Instructional Leadership faculty at the University of South Alabama spent two years designing what the state superintendent of education described as a national model for principal preparation programs. This publication aligns with the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISSLC) Standard 1: "An education leader promotes the success of every student by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by all stakeholders."
Using data from the Take20 Alabama Teaching and Learning Conditions Survey, this study compared the organizational climate of two populations of Alabama elementary, middle, and junior high schools serving low-income students. One population contained those schools with excellent standardized test scores; the other contained the schools which had failed to meet their annual yearly progress goals. The results strongly supported the fact that the more successful schools had significantly more positive school climates.
This scrapbook documents conditions in Birmingham's segregated schools in 1963, as well as white resistance to integration.
NASAs TRMM spacecraft is used by meteorologists to understand Hurricane Ivan. TRMM snapped this view of Hurricane Ivan on September 15, 2004 just before the storm strikes land. The cloud cover is taken by TRMMs Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS). The rain structure is taken by TRMMs Precipitation Radar (PR). It looks underneath of the storms clouds to reveal the underlying rain structure. Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour. Green shows at least 0.5 inches of rain per hour. Yellow is at least 1.0 inches of rain and Red is at least 2.0 inches of rain per hour. High vertical bands on the outside of the storm indicated that Hurricane Ivan was very likely to spawn tornadoes in Florida and Georgia.
