“Macbeth: The Tragic Hero’s Struggle with Darkness and Self-Reflection”
Macbeth has committed terrible crimes, with Lady Macbeth by his side, urging him on. Like Richard III, Macbeth (directly and through the hiring of killers) has murdered kings, close friends, children, and others in pursuit of his ambitions. However, as critics have noted, Macbeth is not considered a “villain,” in the same league as Richard, but rather as a tragic hero. Shakespearean scholar Amanda Mabillard notes that “…what sets Macbeth apart is his penchant for self-reflection. Although ultimately, he cannot resist his dark desires, his struggle to regain his goodness is constant, and the part of his character that is capable of much love and compassion, although ever fading, is always present.

Title: Policy Brief: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Teacher Incentive Pay Programs in Michigan
FORMAT:apa
Directions: Suppose that you are an advisor to the Governor of Michigan. The Governor is deciding on her education policy initiatives and wants to propose some education policies. She has put forward three proposals:
1. Reduce class sizes in elementary schools by 20%.
2. Introduce a rule that as part of the tenure decision, schools must consider the average value
the added score for the teacher over his/her career.
3. Implement a teacher incentive pay program that will pay a $1000 bonus to teachers each year
whose evaluations place them in the top 20% of teachers state-wide. Evaluations are
based on a mix of value-added scores, principal evaluations, and teacher attendance.
Choose one of the proposals above and provide a written policy brief of 600 to 1500 words that advises the governor on whether the proposal is a good or bad idea or if the existing research cannot provide a consensus one way or the other. In your brief, you should make sure to discuss the following
1: A brief overview of the state of the particular education policy you choose in Michigan and
nationwide.
2:A discussion of relevant research on class-size, teacher tenure and value-added, or teacher
incentive pay – depending on which policy proposal you choose – and how it the findings relate
to the proposed policy.
3:A recommendation to go forward with the policy, not go forward with it, or suggestions for
