what do power equipment technicians do? what are the working conditions? how much can i earn? what will i work on? when a piece of equipment breaks down, mechanics use various techniques to diagnose the source and extent of the problem. the mark of a skilled mechanic is the ability to diagnose mechanical, fuel, and electrical problems and to make repairs quickly. quick and accurate diagnosis requires problem-solving ability and a thorough knowledge of the equipment's operation. some jobs require minor adjustments or the replacement of a single item, but a complete engine overhaul could require hours to disassemble the engine and replace worn valves, pistons, bearings, and other internal parts. some highly skilled mechanics use specialized components and the latest computerized equipment to customize and tune motorcycles and motorboats for racing. hand tools are the most important work-related possessions of mechanics. small engine mechanics use wrenches, pliers, and screwdrivers on a regular basis. mechanics usually provide their own tools, although employers will furnish expensive power tools, computerized engine analyzers, and other diagnostic equipment. computerized engine analyzers, compression gauges, ammeters and voltmeters, and other testing devices help mechanics locate faulty parts and tune engines. this equipment provides a systematic performance report of various components to compare against normal ratings. after pinpointing the problem, the mechanic makes the needed adjustments, repairs, or replacements. small engines also require periodic service to minimize the chance of breakdowns and to keep them operating at peak performance. during routine maintenance, mechanics follow a checklist that includes the inspection and cleaning of brakes, electrical systems, fuel injection systems, plugs, carburetors, and other parts. following inspection, mechanics usually repair or adjust parts that do not work properly or replace unfixable parts. motor

coaching in pennsylvania 　 literacy and math coaching psea promising practices to close student achievement gaps coaching is school-based professional development that assigns educators with specific knowledge and skills to work with teacher colleagues to improve classroom practice. an effective coach makes teachers' jobs easier by demonstrating how and why certain strategies will make a difference in student learning, and then working alongside teachers to develop the knowledge and skills they need to put those strategies into practice. in some cases coaches work full-time at an individual school or district; in others they work with a variety of schools throughout the year. most coaches are former classroom teachers; some continue to have some teaching duties while they coach. most commonly, coaching positions are designed to support classroom teachers in developing effective strategies to teach mathematics and literacy. often they work with teachers in other content areas to help them infuse math and literacy into their content-area curriculum. there are several issues to consider when trying to make sense of coaching programs: coaching is not evaluation. in order to be done right, teachers must view coaching as part of professional development, not part of evaluation. coaches are teacher-colleagues; no information from coaching should ever inform the evaluation of a professional employee. in many districts with literacy and math coaches, the coaches are a part of the bargaining unit. coaching should be distributed among all teachers. in order to maintain coaching as a non-evaluative activity, administrators should not designate specific teachers as "in need of coaching." all teachers can benefit from a coaching relationship, and an effective coach knows how to individualize the coaching experience for each teacher. using coaching to "target" particular teachers is inapprop

My HappyLife Home

I love the thought of coming to my HappyLife home every day. It is the place where I am the most comfortable. The landscaping is magnificent, the house, seems to meld into it as if they were one, the creature comforts in the house are to die for, and the playroom in my house is where everybody I know wants to hang out. I love my house, and I am blessed that I have such a home.

My house is located on a cul-de-sac, next to forty acres of forest and a stream out back. It is made from cedar wood and rock front, with floor to ceiling length windows, giving a view of the surrounding areas. Additionally, the windows let in sunlight from all angles, but are insulated to keep hot and frigid air out. The landscaping is soft and flowing, with
