Observing Instructional Practice
Classroom observation systems can be an important tool for understanding teaching quality. However, the wide range of possible lessons that can be observed raises concerns about whether fixed observation rubrics can measure the intended teaching quality constructs equally well in each lesson. This paper argues for exploring measurement invariance across lessons in observation systems, adopting an understanding of measurement invariance that empha…
Handaxe diversity at the end of the Acheulean
This paper examines the archaeology of Marine Isotope Stage 9 (337–300 ka), the final interglacial of the Lower Palaeolithic in Britain. We present an analysis of 614 handaxes from ten key sites independently dated to MIS 9, applying traditional methodologies alongside three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis to examine morphological variability. Through this, we characterise the archaeology of the period and investigate chronological an…
Pronounced increase in biface knapping skill half a million years ago in Britain
3D scans of 795 handaxes used to extract variables related to knapping skill. • Comparison of skill from the first two waves of Acheulean occupation in Britain. • Highly significant differences in handaxe thinness, symmetry, and edge regularity. • There was a pronounced increase in hominin skill between MIS15 and MIS13/12. • Increased motor control may have implications for the emergence of speech. Flake scar patterning indicates Acheulean knappe…
The Occurrence of Non-handaxe Assemblages Early in the Purfleet Interglacial (MIS 9) in Britain
Despite the widespread acceptance of the Clactonian during the earlier part of the Hoxnian interglacial (MIS 11c) in Britain, the subsequent occurrence of a non-handaxe signature early in the following interglacial (MIS 10/9) has received less coverage and remains contentious. Recent work on MIS 9 in Britain has re-evaluated the archaeology of the period. This paper offers a critical assessment of the non-handaxe signature in MIS 9 Britain, inclu…
Three types of subject-specificity. Exploring differences in the measurement of teaching quality across Norwegian mathematics and language arts classrooms
Measuring teaching quality is important to better understand student learning in classrooms. To directly capture teaching quality constructs, subject-specific and subject-generic observation systems have been developed, with benefits and challenges on both sides. However, we show that subject-specificity may address different things and come with different implicit assumptions about what is subject-specific. As a common ground for empirical work,…
The Sound of Success in the Early Palaeolithic
Turning-the-edge, Tranchet, and Social Signalling at Boxgrove
The capacity to relate a signal to an arbitrary, specific and generally understood meaning—symbolism—is an integral feature of human language. Here, we explore two aspects of knapping technology at the Acheulean site of Boxgrove that may suggest symbolic communication. Tranchet tips are a difficult handaxe form to create, but are unusually prevalent at Boxgrove. We use geometric morphometrics to show that despite tranchet flaking increasing planf…
Dynamics in District–University Partnerships Focused on Leadership for Equity
This paper discusses the development of district–university partnerships at the onset of a multi-year grant-funded initiative focused on leadership for equity. Using three illustrative partnership cases, we investigated district–university collaboration through the lens of mutualism, or the mutually beneficial nature of the relationship. Our data analysis revealed the following dynamics as important for the development of mutualism: shared commit…
Perceptions of Harm and Benefit Predict Judgments of Cultural Appropriation
What factors underlie judgments of cultural appropriation? In two studies, participants read 157 scenarios involving actors using cultural products or elements of racial/ethnic groups to which they did not belong. Participants evaluated scenarios on seven dimensions (perceived cultural appropriation, harm to the community from which the cultural object originated, racism, profit to actors, extent to which cultural objects represent a source of pr…
What value do standardized observation systems add to summative teacher evaluation systems
Teacher evaluation systems work to balance summative and formative goals. Instructional observations are an important part of such systems, allowing evaluation to directly impact instruction. Research shows that summative and formative goals can conflict with each other. This paper examines whether the summative usage of observation scores contributes to summative evaluation. We find that, after accounting for traditional principal ratings, obser…
A revised terrace stratigraphy and chronology for the Little Ouse River as a framework for interpreting the late Lower and early Middle Palaeolithic of central East Anglia, UK
The Breckland of central East Anglia has a Pleistocene geological sequence spanning c. 1 million years, providing a framework for assessing changes in human technology and behaviour within a single changing palaeolandscape. The geological record and its associated Palaeolithic archaeology divides into three chronological periods: the fluvial deposits of the River Bytham, which span c. 1 ma to 450 ka; the Hoxnian interglacial sites (c. 400 ka); an…
What’s in a score? Problematizing interpretations of observation scores
Several recent, large-scale observations of naturally occurring classroom instruction have found consistent patterns in how teaching quality systematically varies across domains of instruction, patterns not found in student survey measures. Teaching quality is highest when examining aspects of classroom management; moderately high when examining aspects of student support; and low when focusing on the quality of the instructional support provided…
Vicarious Justifications for Prejudice in the Application of Democratic Values
Democratic values are widely endorsed principles including commitments to protect individual freedoms. Paradoxically, the widespread normativity of these ideas can be used to justify prejudice. With two nationally representative U.S. samples, we find that prejudiced respondents defend another’s prejudiced speech, using democratic values as justification. This vicarious defense occurs primarily among those who share the prejudice and only when the…
Bringing the conceptualization and measurement of teaching into alignment
There is a growing use of standardized observation systems to directly measure teaching quality in classrooms. These systems are based on conceptual understandings of teaching that lead to carefully operationalized rubrics that decompose teaching quality into a number of distinct dimensions. In this paper, we argue that measurement and analysis choices used by observation systems may not fully align with the conceptual understandings of teaching …
Mid-Late Quaternary Fluvial Archives near the Margin of the MIS 12 Glaciation in Southern East Anglia, UK
This paper presents an updated geological reconstruction of the Quaternary evolution of the River Thames at its downstream extremities, close to the North Sea coast, based on new data from multi-disciplinary and citizen-science sources. In this area, the interaction of the Thames with the MIS 12 (Anglian) glaciation is an important part of the Quaternary archive. The Anglian ice sheet, which reached parts of north and east London, was responsible…
Perceived authenticity as a vicarious justification for prejudice
When is the expression of prejudice seen as authentic? Perceived authenticity refers to how much one judges another’s behavior to reflect the beliefs, attitudes, goals, and desires of that person. We investigate whether perceived authenticity can operate as a vicarious justification for prejudice—a way for prejudiced people to defend the prejudiced statements of others. In six studies, prejudice was positively related to perceived authenticity of…
A Global History of The Earlier Palaeolithic
This book tells the story of both the ancient humans who made handaxes and the thoughts and ideas of scholars who have spent their lives trying to understand them. Beginning with the earliest known finds, this volume provides a linear and thematic account of the history of the Old Stone Age, or Palaeolithic period, covering major discoveries, interpretations and debates worldwide; a story that takes us from the embers of the Great Fire of London …
The Common Core State Standards Initiative as an Innovation Network
This article analyzes the Common Core State Standards initiative as an innovation network. Using narrative data and quantitative analysis of hypertext linkages on the World Wide Web, we describe a network of about 3200 organizations that arose to scale up the Common Core State Standards and link them to aligned academic resources such as assessments, instructional materials, and professional development. By 2017, this network developed a “core-pe…
Flake tools in the European Lower Paleolithic
We Are Not Alone
The story of human history was changed forever in 1863 with William King's proposal that we had not always been the sole members of the Homo genus. Yet, more than 150 years after Homo neanderthalensis was first named and then summarized in the pages of The Anthropological Review, the man responsible for this revolutionary announcement is poorly known in the field of palaeoanthropology today. Following the sesquicentennial anniversary of this semi…

Analysis of Nominally Equivalent Outcome Studies
Rickles, Heppen, Allensworth, Sorensen, and Walters (2018) compare two credit recovery programs with a null hypothesis of equal effects. Upon failing to reject the null, they implicitly accept the null. However, not rejecting the null is not equivalent to accepting the null, a confusion common to a range of research, which I highlight
Patriotism à la Carte
Intergroup emotions motivate behavior, yet little is known about how people perceive these emotional experiences in others. In three experiments (Ns = 109, 179, 246), we show that U.S. citizens believe collective guilt is an illegitimate emotional motivator for ingroup political behavior, while collective pride is legitimate. This differential legitimacy is due to the perception that collective guilt violates the norm of group interest, while col…
Changing Norms Following the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election
The 2016 presidential election was characterized by the remarkable expression of prejudice toward a range of groups. In two closely related studies ( N = 388; 196 supporting Trump, 192 Clinton), we measured (1) perceptions of social norms toward prejudice or (2) people’s own levels of prejudice toward 19 social groups, shortly before and after the election. Some groups were targeted by the Trump campaign (e.g., Muslims, immigrants) and some were …
Nostalgia for America's past can buffer collective guilt
This research examined when, and for whom, American collective nostalgia can relieve feelings of collective guilt. In the Pilot Study, path analyses revealed that national glorification is associated with collective nostalgia, and collective nostalgia is associated with lower collective guilt. Our experimental studies test the role of these variables in determining responses to the elevated salience of past ingroup harm doing. Collective nostalgi…

The British Palaeolithic
The British Palaeolithic provides the first academic synthesis of the entire British Palaeolithic, from the earliest occupation (currently understood to be around 980,000 years ago) to the end of the Ice Age. Landscape and ecology form the canvas for an explicitly interpretative approach aimed at understanding the how different hominin societies addressed the issues of life at the edge of the Pleistocene world. Commencing with a consideration of …

Freedom of racist speech
Do claims of "free speech" provide cover for prejudice? We investigate whether this defense of racist or hate speech serves as a justification for prejudice. In a series of 8 studies (N = 1,624), we found that explicit racial prejudice is a reliable predictor of the "free speech defense" of racist expression. Participants endorsed free speech values for singing racists songs or posting racist comments on social media; people high in prejudice end…
A Middle Palaeolithic Site at Lynford Quarry, Mundford, Norfolk
In late February and early March 2002, an archaeological watching brief at Lynford Quarry, Mundford, Norfolk revealed a palaeochannel with a dark organic fill containing in situ mammoth remains and associated Mousterian stone tools and debitage buried under 2–3 m of bedded sands and gravels. Well-preserved in situ Middle Palaeolithic open air sites are very unusal in Europe and exceedingly rare within a British context. As such, the site was iden…

Inward Investment, Firm Embeddedness and Place
This paper examines the embeddedness of multinational software firms located in the Republic of Ireland. Over the past 15 years, Ireland has emerged as a software centre of growing importance. Many leading US companies now use Ireland as a platform from which to service the European market, in turn making Ireland the world’s leading software exporter. As a result, the extent to which software multinationals become embedded within Ireland will aff…

Rater Performance Standards for Classroom Observation Instruments
Raters must score accurately and consistently for classroom observation scores to be valid. This requires (a) a standard defining when scoring is accurate and consistent enough and (b) measuring and remediating rater performance against that standard. Current practice has focused on this second problem to the exclusion of the first. My goal here is to start a discussion about identifying a clear, explicit standard that ensures observation scores …
John Lubbock, caves, and the development of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic archaeology
John Lubbock's Pre-Historic Times (1865) was the first publication to use the terms ‘Palaeolithic’ and ‘Neolithic’ to define major periods of early prehistory. Because of this he has come to be seen as one of the most influential figures in the history of prehistoric archaeology. We examine this image here, in terms of his influence on contemporaries both in Britain and in France, where early excavations were providing materials that came to form…
The Transition to Internationally Traded Services and Ireland's Emergence as a ‘Successful’ European Region
The authors explore Ireland's growing involvement in the world economy. For many years, Ireland's foreign-direct-investment-led (FDI-led) development policy was associated heavily with low-skill, dependent branch plants. However, over the past fifteen years the shift towards internationally traded services notably improved the quality of this investment. This transition allows Ireland an opportunity to alter its position within the world economy.…

Infrahumanizing Praise
Five studies demonstrate that athletic praise can ironically lead to infrahumanization. College athletes were seen as less agentic than college debaters (Studies 1 and 2). College athletes praised for their bodies were also seen as less agentic than college athletes praised for their minds (Study 3), and this effect was driven by bodily admiration (Study 4). These effects occurred equally for White and Black athletes (Study 1) and did not depend …

A Global Network for Early Warning and Response to Infectious Diseases and Bioterrorism
In many ministries of health, applied epidemiology and training programs (AETPs) are responsible for detecting and responding to acute health events, including bioterrorism. In November 2001, we assessed the bioterrorism response capacity of 29 AETPs; 17 (59%) responded. Fifteen countries (88%) had bioterrorism response plans; in 6 (40%), AETPs took the lead in preparation and in 6 (40%) they assisted. Between September 11 and November 29, 2001, …

Thresholds in lithic technology and human behaviour during MIS 9 in Britain
This chapter examines the archaeology of Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 9 in Britain, used as shorthand to include all warm and cold substages as well as the warming/cooling transitions from/to MIS 10 and MIS 8. MIS 9 spans the period 328–301ka and consists of three pronounced warm peaks, MIS 9e, MIS 9c and MIS 9a, separated by two cold troughs, MIS 9d and MIS 9b. Current consensus holds that four interglacials are represented in the British p…
