English to Portuguese: Chapter 8 of "What Works in School" by Robert J. Marzano General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Chapter 8 – The Teacher-Level Factors
Now we turn our attention to those factors that affect individual students in the classroom — the independent impact that a teacher can have on student achievement. Naturally, an individual teacher is influenced by decisions the school makes (decisions that include a guaranteed and viable curriculum, challenging goals, and feedback). However, the teacher-level factors addressed here are primarily a function of decisions made by individual teachers, including instructional strategies, classroom management, and classroom curriculum design.
Before the mid-80s, studies of effective schooling tended to look at school-level factors only, that is, the school as having a unitary and consistent impact on student achievement. Good and Brophy (1986) warned of the consequences of this perspective:
"Studies of large samples of schools yield important profiles of more and less successful schools, but these are group averages [original emphasis] that may or may not describe how a single effective teacher actually behaves in a particular effective school. Persons who use research to guide practice sometimes expect all teachers' behavior to reflect the group average. Such simplistic thinking is apt to lead the literature to be too broadly and inappropriately applied. (p. 588)"
A useful question, then, for anyone wishing to understand those factors that enhance student achievement is this: What influence does an individual teacher have apart from what the school does?
Translation - Portuguese Capítulo 8 – Fatores a nível docente
Agora, voltamos nossa atenção para os fatores que afetam alunos de modo individual em sala de aula – o impacto independente que um professor pode ter sobre o rendimento do aluno. Naturalmente, um professor, de forma individual, é influenciado pelas decisões que são tomadas pela escola onde trabalha (decisões essas que incluem a construção e garantia de um currículo viável, além da apresentação de objetivos desafiadores e de feedback). No entanto, os fatores a nível docente mencionados aqui são, principalmente, funções derivadas das decisões tomadas por professores em escala individual, incluindo as estratégias instrucionais, a gestão de sala de aula e o design curricular em sala de aula.
Antes da metade dos anos 80, todos os estudos feitos sob a perspectiva da educação eficiente tendiam a olhar apenas para os fatores a nível escolar, ou seja, tendiam a olhar para a escola como único elemento a ter um impacto constante no rendimento dos alunos. Good e Brophy (1986) alertaram sobre as consequências desse tipo de perspectiva:
"Estudos feitos com grandes amostragens rendem/traçam perfis importantes de escolas mais ou menos bem-sucedidas, mas essas são médias de grupo [ênfase original] que podem ou não descrever como um único professor se comporta caso esteja inserido em um ambiente escolar eficiente. Pessoas que utilizam pesquisas para guiar suas práticas muitas vezes esperam que o comportamento de todos os professores reflita na média do grupo. Esse pensamento simplista consegue fazer com que a literatura seja aplicada de modo muito amplo e inapropriado." (p. 588)
Uma pergunta interessante, neste caso, para qualquer um que esteja tentando entender esses fatores que aumentam o rendimento dos alunos é: Que tipo de influências os professores têm sobre os alunos que a escola em si não tem?

English to Portuguese: Chapter 18 of "Circus of the Damned" by Laurell K. Hamilton General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English The vault loomed up before us. Pitch black with a crazy vampire waiting inside; just my cup of tea. Ri-ight.
“I’ll take point now,” Dolph said. He had the second guard’s gun in his hands. His own gun was tucked out of sight. He had silver bullets now; he’d go first. Dolph was good about that. He’d never order one of his men to do something he wouldn’t do himself. Wish Bert was like that. Bert was more likely to promise your first-born child, then ask if it was alright with you.
Dolph hesitated at the open mouth of the vault. The darkness was thick enough to cut. It was the absolute darkness of a cave. The kind where you can touch your eyeballs with your fingers and not blink.
He motioned us forward with the gun, but he went past the darkness, farther down the hallway. The bloody footprints entered the darkness and came back out. Bloody footprints going down the hall, around the corner. I was getting tired of corners.
Zerbrowski and I moved up to stand on either side of Dolph. The tension slid along my neck, shoulders. I took a deep breath and let it out, slowly. Better. Look, my hand’s not even shaking.
Dolph didn’t roll around on the floor to clear the corner. He just went around back to the wall, two-handed aim, ready for bear.
A voice said, “Don’t shoot. I’m not dead.”
Translation - Portuguese O cofre estava diante de nós. Totalmente escuro e com um vampiro enlouquecido nos esperando lá dentro. Tudo o que eu pedi a Deus. Ótimo.
— Vou entrar em posição. — disse Dolph com a arma do segundo guarda na mão, enquanto a sua própria estava guardada. Ele tinha balas de prata agora, então iria à nossa frente. Ele não se importava em fazer isso. Dolph nunca mandaria nenhum de seus homens fazer algo que ele mesmo não faria. Como eu queria que o Bert fosse assim. Esse é capaz de oferecer o seu primogênito em troca de algo e só depois te perguntar se você está de acordo.
Dolph hesitou ao chegar perto da boca do cofre. A escuridão era tão palpável que até daria para cortá-la. Era aquele breu absoluto que se vê em uma caverna. Do tipo que te deixa tocar nos próprios olhos com seus dedos, sem piscar.
Ele fez um sinal com a arma para que nos aproximássemos, enquanto passava da escuridão espessa, adentrando o corredor cada vez mais. As pegadas de sangue entravam naquela parte obscura do local e voltavam de dentro dela. Passavam pelo corredor, indo para outro. Estou ficando cansada dessas viradas.
Zerbrowski e eu avançamos, a fim de ficarmos lado a lado com Dolph. A tensão escorria pelo meu pescoço, meus ombros. Respirei fundo, lentamente. Bem melhor. Olha só, minha mão nem está tremendo!
Dolph não rolou para cá e para lá no chão para verificar se as viradas dos corredores estavam vazias. Ele apenas ia com as costas rentes à parede, duas mãos na mira, pronto para agir.
Então, uma voz disse:
— Não atire. Eu ainda não morri.
