Trzej bracia Trzej bracia

Автор: Grimm Jacob

Год издания: 

Bylo sobie trzech braci i, jak to zwykle w bajkach bywa, konkurowali ze soba o wspaniala nagrode. Co zaskakujace, w tej basni nagroda jest jak najbardziej praktyczna, konkurencja jest zdobycie najlepszego zawodu, zaden z braci nie jest glupi, a w dodatku naprawde sie kochaja. Pozostaje tylko pytanie, jak ocenic, ktore zajecie jest lepsze: golibroda, kowal czy fechmistrz.Kinder- und Hausmarchen, w Polsce nazywane najczesciej basniami braci Grimm, to legendy i podania ludowe, zebrane przez Jacoba i Wilhelma Grimmow, XIX-wiecznych jezykoznawcow. Zbior, nierzadko zawierajacy sceny okrutne, poczatkowo nie byl pisany z mysla o dzieciach i dopiero pozniej zostal dostosowany do potrzeb mlodszych czytelnikow, niektore przez samych braci Grimm, inne przez pozniejszych wydawcow i tlumaczy. Choc od ukazania sie pierwszego tomu minelo juz ponad 200 lat, basnie braci Grimm wciaz bawia, strasza i inspiruja kolejne pokolenia.


Schools for All Kinds of Minds. Boosting Student Success by Embracing Learning Variation Schools for All Kinds of Minds. Boosting Student Success by Embracing Learning Variation

Автор: Paul Orfalea

Год издания: 

This book shows how schools can–and must–develop expertise in «learning variation» (understanding how different kinds of minds learn) and apply this knowledge to classroom instruction in order to address the chronic learning challenges and achievement gap faced by millions of students. Barringer shows how using what we know about learning variation with a focus on discovering learning strengths, not just deficits, can help schools create plans for success for those students who often find it elusive. The book specifically addresses how school leaders can incorporate this knowledge into instructional practice and school-level policy through various professional development strategies. Schools for All Kinds of Minds: Provides a readable synthesis of the latest research from neuroscience, cognitive science, and child and adolescent development as it relates to understanding learning and its many variations. Links this information to strategies for understanding struggling learners and adapting school practices to accommodate a wider array of learning differences in a classroom. Demonstrates how this understanding of learning variation can change the way teachers and others help students succeed in various academic and content areas and acquire necessary 21st century skills. Includes discussion questions and facilitator guidelines for staff developers and teacher education programs; downloadable forms that accompany exercises from within the book; an action plan for schools to implement the ideas found in the book; and more.


The Loudest Duck. Moving Beyond Diversity while Embracing Differences to Achieve Success at Work The Loudest Duck. Moving Beyond Diversity while Embracing Differences to Achieve Success at Work

Автор: Laura Liswood A.

Год издания: 

Written in an accessible style, The Loudest Duck is a business fable that offers an alternate view of a multicultural workplace through the use of practical stories and cultural anecdotes. For instance, the Chinese teach their children, «The loudest duck gets shot,» a viewpoint that gets carried into adulthood, while many Americans are taught, «The squeaky wheel gets the grease.» As a result, you find two distinct ways of doing business, neither one being necessarily the right or better way. By understanding others' viewpoint, you can understand how better to work with them.

Embracing Writing Embracing Writing

Год издания: 

A guided approach to using college writing for everyone's learning Faculty in every discipline are increasingly pressured to include major writing components as part of their courses. Unfortunately, as author and English professor Gary R. Hafer explains, college and university educators often have little training in the use of writing in the classroom. Embracing Writing elucidates the principles of academic writing and shows instructors how to integrate writing with course content, blending them to enhance and deepen the higher education learning process. Scholarly writing is a central part of the academic experience and, when used effectively, can be an outstanding pedagogical tool. The creative approach in Embracing Writing will have you looking at writing in a whole new way. Not only will your students appreciate the honest, nurturing, and fun writing assignments, but your own writing will improve as well. This is not a rulebook for writers, but a guided approach to viewing writing and content as one indivisible whole. Embracing Writing will help you: Engage students in writing assignments that actually help them develop their writing ability Understand what makes good collegiate writing and how it can aid in content discovery Discover new pathways for your own writing so writing for publication and the classroom is enjoyable again Develop a writing pedagogy that doesn't detract from core course content delivery There often is a disconnect between administrative demands for in-course writing and the inadequate training resources available to faculty members. Because most of us aren't trained as writers, we need a meaningful way to connect writing to our areas of expertise. Embracing Writing provides that connection.
