These grant materials were prepared for a project funded by Humanities Texas to develop and present online lesson plans that incorporate the interactive notebook style of learning. This method of teaching combines three pivotal concepts in educational research: spiral curriculum theory, multiple intelligences, and cooperative interaction. This problem-based learning system incorporates preview assignments, multiple intelligences teaching strategies, graphically organized notes, and processing assignments that require students to demonstrate their knowledge. The documents explore the research and methodology behind this style of pedagogy, and the elements of an interactive notebook. A work plan details how the project would work with master teachers to develop this curriculum. The project was funded for $5,000.

This article is a reflective-reflexive examination of provisions of trustworthiness in critical narrative research.

This article presents a new type of push–pull charge transfer complex, viz., a spiro-locked N-heterocycle-fused zinc porphyrin, ZnP-SQ, that is shown to undergo excited state charge separation, which is enhanced by axial F⁻ binding to the Zn center. Spectroelectrochemical studies are used to identify the spectra of charge separated states and charge separation upon photoexcitation of ZnP is established.
