单选题 Is Becoming a Specialist Leader in Education a Practical Career Option? A. In the post-local education authority world, specialist leaders of education (SLEs) are in the forefront of the new era of school-to-school support. But what does it take to fill this role, and where does it lead in a teacher's career path? B. SLEs have replaced advanced skills teachers (ASTs), which offered an alternative career path for skilled teachers who did not want to go into management. The brief has changed somewhat, however, with SLEs specifically charged with working with other schools. Teaching school alliances are responsible for recruiting SLEs, although applicants do not have to be from within the alliance as long as their school is willing to release them to work elsewhere. There are around 3,800 SLEs in England, with a target of 5,000 by next March. C. Shotton Hall Teaching School Alliance in County Durham has around 40 SLEs. The principal qualification is the ability to apply their skills to raise standards, whether it is in teaching and learning or support services, according to Bryan Stephenson, director of the teaching school. 'We're looking for outstanding practitioners who have a record of school improvement behind them,' he says. Maths and English are the most sought after SLEs, he adds, although the alliance also has specialists in business management, curriculum, special educational needs support and continuous professional development, among other areas. D. The SLE route is typically for a head of department or assistant headteacher who wants to get experience of school-to-school support, he says. Unlike ASTs, SLEs do not get any extra salary. For Anna Pickover, SLE status is a way of progressing in her career while remaining in the classroom. The equivalent of a deputy in her department, she says she did not want to go into management at this stage in her career. 'My focus has always been towards the teaching and learning of maths,' she says. 'I wanted to spread the maths love.' Her first year as an SLE, based at Shotton Hall Academy, has embraced the whole spectrum of school-to-school support, from the intensive to the light touch. 'It can be anything from an email suggesting a resource to observing a lesson and developing practice,' she says. E. Schools looking for help in a particular area contact the teaching school alliance, which acts as a broker in arranging support from a relevant SLE. An initial meeting identifies the school's needs, followed by a plan setting out what wilt be involved. F. Pickover says her ultimate goal is to become an assistant headteacher, but SLE status has more reward than just as a career stepping stone. 'I absolutely love it,' she says. 'It makes you feel the work you are doing is good and I love spreading teaching and learning of maths. If you go into a school you are giving ideas but you are also getting new ideas.' G. Teaching school alliances typically charge ￡ 350 a day for an SLE's services and the intention is for the system to be self-funding. This can put pressure on SLEs to drum up business, but Ruth Williams relishes this side of the role. 'Some people find it quite challenging because you are generating your own business, but I really enjoy it,' says Williams, who worked in marketing before becoming a teacher. 'It is giving me the opportunity to do more consultancy while still teaching.' H. Williams, based at Lampton School in Hounslow, west London, is deployed in primary schools to help with the transition from primary to secondary maths, and says so far demand for her services is far exceeding her capacity. SLEs are typically released by their school for one day a week, although Williams says she may have to go up to two. I. She works with both students and teachers, running maths masterclasses, delivering inset days and observing and modelling lessons. She has also secured funding to develop a programme to improve maths skills among primary teachers. 'It is an outward-facing role, looking at how your skills can be used to help others,' she says. 'It is no longer about being in your own school: it is about spreading knowledge.' J. Although schools with an SLE lose them for part of the week, it is justified by the rewards, says Jacqueline Smith, head of the teaching school at Lampton. 'We get more than we give,' she says. 'Staff are really motivated by professional recognition and respect for their expertise.' Working in a different context also develops skills that the SLE brings back to their own school, she adds. But covering their timetable means it is not a way to make money. 'I would have thought it only just breaks even,' she adds. K. SLEs are still in their early days and their future is by no means assured. Bryan Stephenson suggests an increase in the number of teaching school alliances will make it harder to deploy them, with more SLEs competing for the same market. It can also be tricky to convince a school to pay for support if it is used to getting it for free, as happened under the AST system, says Peter Gale, director of the teaching school at George Abbot School in Guildford, Surrey. L. Some headteachers are reluctant to release staff, he adds, particularly in primary schools where there is less slack in the timetable. Add in a squeeze on budgets and the result might be that SLEs are mainly used in multi-academy trusts, he says. M. A shortage of opportunities meant Alastair McKenzie was not deployed as often as he would have liked in his six months as an SLE in English at George Abbot. McKenzie, now vice-principal at Kings College in Guildford, had been an AST and becoming an SLE seemed the logical step. N. 'Historically, schools have always lent staff and I don't think the local area really bought into the notion of paying for school-to-school support,' he says. 'I'm not convinced that the fee-paying model is the right one.' Despite this, he feels he benefited from the deployments he had as an SLE. 'One of the greatest joys is to go into other schools,' he says. 'You learn a huge amount. Every time you watch a lesson you come out with an idea.'

单选题{{B}}Passage Five{{/B}} After Man has dreamed about flying for a long time. Michael Moshier is a dreamer. He invented the Solo Trek. The Solo Trek had a 120 horsepower engine with twin fans. Only one person flies. As you fly above the roofs, you lean a little forward. You can see everything under you. You are flying like Superman. Michael Moshier looked at the jet belt and the rocket belt that was developed 20-30 years ago. Nothing ever came from them. People still can’t fly. Inventors have tried to make it easy for people to fly. Paul Moller has been working on his flying car for 30 years. He now says it is ready for tests. It would take off and land vertically, go 600 miles an hour, and deliver 20 miles to the gallon. A computer would do the actual flying. He says it could be sold next year for about a million dollars. NASA is working with Moshier to help develop his flying machine. The first users are likely to be military. It’s been 50-years since Robert Fulton invented his airphibian, a flying car. It flew, and is now in the Smithsonian Museum. Getting dreams to fly is never easy.
