 Leadership for Differentiating Schools and Classrooms By Susan Demirsky Allan 2000 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 0871205025 | PDF | 1 MB Try going a week without hearing a call for a massive overhaul of our educational system. Parents, students, educators, bureaucrats, pundits . . . everyone says something must be done. But what? And who should do it? In this environment, school leaders must build bridges for change. As the system now stands, many students spend great portions of their lives feeling inferior if they struggle, invisible if they already know the material, problematic if they=re not a child of the dominant culture, and perverse if they question the school agenda. This book explores how school leaders can develop responsive, personalized, and differentiated classrooms. Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small group of students, rather than teaching a class as though all individuals in it were basically alike. Expert educators teach individuals the most important things in the most effective ways. No single approach works with all students. Classrooms function best when teachers and students join to develop multiple avenues to learning. Until every student is growing and successful, our own growth is unfinished. The authors show how school leaders can encourage and support growth in our classrooms.  Leadership at a Distance: Research in Technologically-Supported Work By Suzanne P.

Leadership and the Frontline Workforce by Gilmore Crosby English | July 30, 2025 | ISBN: 1041027966 | 250 pages | MOBI | 5.03 Mb This book is for anyone who wants to lead change. It explains change methods through real-life experiences of frontline workers. Just as history has primarily been written by the victors, leadership and management theory have been written from the top. An exception is Kurt Lewin, whose action-research established that people on the frontlines are best positioned to create and sustain change. This book's authors have practiced that approach over two generations for the past 70 years. They were deeply influenced by the blue-collar wisdom of the author's grandfather, an hourly worker in the railyards of Pittsburgh.

Lawmaking and Development combines insight from both scholars and practitioners involved in legal assistance projects in order to address topics such as legal transplantation, legislative quality, linkages between legislation and implementation, and the politics of lawmaking.  Law of the Single European Market: Unpacking the Premises By Catherine Barnard, Joanne Scott 2002 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 1841132713 | PDF | 2 MB This edited collection explores the legal foundations of the single market project in Europe, and examines the legal concepts and constructs which underpin its operation. While an apparently well-trodden area of EU law, such is the rapid evolution of the European Court's case law that confusion persists as to the meaning of core concepts. The approach adopted is a thematic one, with each theme being explored in the context of the different freedoms. The themes covered include discrimination, horizontality, mutual recognition, market access, pre-emption and harmonization, enforcement, mandatory requirements, flexibility, subsidiarity and proportionality. Separate chapters explore the link between competition law and the single market, the rapidly evolving case law on capital, and the external dimension of the single market. Contributors also address the WTO dimension, and its important implications for the single market project in Europe.  Law and Development in East and South-East Asia (Curzon in Association With Iias) By C. Antons 2002 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 0700713212 | PDF | 2 MB During the 1980s and 1990s Asian 'developmental states' attracted much attention in political science and economics literature, but the role of law in the economic development was neglected. It was only after the Asian crisis of 1997 that many analysts began to focus on a lack of regulation and transparency as a major factor triggering the crisis. The crucial questions now are how successful the current reforms will be, and which features of the Asian approach to commercial law will be resistant to reform pressures. This book examines the prospects for commercial law reform in Asia, giving particular attention to Japan and Singapore, as frequently cited role models for Asian developmentalism, and also examining development related business laws in countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

From the most effective pickup lines to percipient advice on getting over a breakup, from grooming tips to sex tips, the Romans had time-proof solutions. Charlotte Higgins brings them together in this indispensable guide to love-a collection of the richest, most illuminating, and sensuous writing about this mysterious emotion that can move us to joy or despair.  Latin American Social Movements: Globalization, Democratization, and Transnational Networks By Paul Almeida 2006 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0742553310 | PDF | 62 MB The two current trends of democratization and deepening economic liberalization have made Latin American countries a ground for massive defensive mobilization campaigns and have created new sites of popular struggle. In this edited volume on Latin American social movements, original chapters are combined with peer-reviewed articles from the well-regarded journal Mobilization. Each section represents a major theme in Latin American social movement research. Original chapters discuss the Madres de Plaza de Mayo movement in Argentina and the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico. Also included in the book's coverage of the region's major movements are los piqueteros and antisweatshop labor organizing. This is the first study to focus closely on the related issues of neoliberal globalization, democratization, and the workings of transnational advocacy networks in Latin America. |
