Teaching isn't merely transmitting knowledge to students; it's also about teaching students to approach learning in engaging and unexpected ways. In Sparking Student Creativity: Practical Ways to Promote Innovative Thinking and Problem Solving, author and researcher Patti Drapeau explores and explains research related to creativity and its relevance in today's standards-based, critical thinking-focused classroom. The book vividly and comprehensively shows
* How creative lessons can meet and extend the expectations of curriculum standards such as the Common Core State Standards, * How to incorporate creativity and assessment into daily classroom practices, * How to develop a "Creativity Road Map" to guide instruction, and * How to design lessons that prompt and support creative thinking.
In addition, the book includes 40 "grab and go" ideas that infuse lesson plans with a spirit of exploration. No matter what grade levels or content areas you teach, Sparking Student Creativity will help you to produce creative lesson components that directly address critical content, target specific standards, and require thoughtful products from students as they grow into independent learners and become successful students and adults.

Описание: Any good manager feels an intuitive need to build trust inside his or her company and among employees. Self-improvement is an integral part of creating a trust-building climate and current books on leadership and corporate issues understate the importance of this element. Developing further the ideas in THE TRUSTED ADVISOR, the authors move from discussing how managers can make themselves and their company trustworthy to clients and customers to how they can build trust within an organization, between manager and colleagues, bosses, and employees. Instead of focusing on Business to Business, The Trusted Leader deals with building internal, managerial and organizational trust. The authors parse the different kinds of trust, give diagnostic ways to determine whether trust is missing and where it needs to be supplemented, and ways to restore trust when it has been betrayed. The book will contain numerous exercises and quizzes, as well as formulas that quantify the economies of trust and show its importance in an organization. Stories of managers and employees working through issues of trust in many different real-life situations cover many different corporate situations and scenarios (acquisitions, slowdowns, and internal and external crises), making this the most complete guide on the subject for managers.

Описание: Souvent jugee sectaire et dogmatique, la production culturelle communiste de l’immediat apres-guerre et de la guerre froide n’a que rarement suscite des analyses approfondies, particulierement dans le contexte belge qu’interroge ce livre. Proposant pour la premiere fois une analyse systematique de la critique litteraire dans les journaux communistes de l’epoque (1944-1956), Laurence van Nuijs examine la conception de la litterature qui s’y developpe au quotidien. Sur la base d’une methodologie sociocritique, elle offre une lecture detaillee du discours en question, dont elle souligne la dimension collective, sans en ignorer les variantes individuelles. Son etude mobilise les concepts de nationalite, de canon et d’histoire litteraire, qui permettent de rendre compte de la tension entre autonomie et heteronomie en litterature, mais aussi de comparer, dans une perspective « nationale », l’organe francophone Le Drapeau Rouge et l’organe flamand De Rode Vaan. L’ouvrage comble ainsi une importante lacune dans les recherches litteraires et historiques, et met en lumiere les possibilites hermeneutiques d’une analyse discursive en contexte.
