A research synthesis for NCCTQ (Goe, Bell, & Little, 2008) breaks down teacher effectiveness into five points: 1  Effective teachers have high expectations for all students and help them learn, as demonstrated on value-added, test-based, or alternative measures.
A cut sheet is an excerpt (single specification sheet, or spec. sheet)from a manufacturers original printed manual or specification documentation. Each sheet has to relate to each item in the machine or product, rather than the whole machine.
The Cuticle and the Stomata. The cuticle is a waxy, water-repellent layer that covers all of the above-ground areas of a plant. It is secreted by the epidermis, the outer layer of the plant, and covers up any holes or chinks between the cells. This waxy layer keeps all of the plant's valuable water inside where it belongs. However, while the cuticle closes up any areas where the plant could lose water, it also closes up any place that allows the plant to breathe. Remember, plants are the reverse of us; they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Plants rectified this problem through the creation of pores in the leaf called stomata.
