The ambitious plan by the education secretary, Michael Gove, to announce a fresh wave of academy schools was temporarily derailed when his junior minister Nick Gibb was forced into the Commons to answer charges that his department had misallocated funds for academies.
Gove travelled to Birmingham to speak at the annual conference of the National College for School Leadership, where he announced plans for 200 more sponsored secondary academies in poorer areas, and the establishment of 200 academies in under-performing English primary schools. The reforms were broadly welcomed by Labour.

What it is: The Periodic Table of Visualization Methods is a brilliant collection of visualization methods for displaying, understanding and using information.
The periodic table is broken down into data visualization, information visualization, concept visualization, strategy visualization, metaphor visualization, and compound visualization. Each “element” of the table includes information about the element such as if it is a process visualization or a structure visualization.

By Trevor Grundy c. 2011 Religion News Service CANTERBURY, England (RNS) Nearly a millennium ago, four unruly knights crossed the English Channel from France and confronted the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, over his feud with King Henry II.
