The Barbados Community College Experience establishes the genesis of the college and the ongoing impact of globalization and educational borrowing. It examines the North American community college's influence on the Caribbean pool, the global community college movement and its emerging global counterparts. By deriving five models of development in the region, Vivienne Roberts opens a new window to the community college experience in the anglophone Caribbean by bringing to the fore the reality of more than twenty relevant institutions.
Barbados has been the community college pioneer in the anglophone Caribbean and a fairly early entrant to the worldwide community college movement. Roberts sets the Barbados experience in its local, regional and global contexts by exploring the phases of establishment, consolidation, expansion and reputation building, and uncertainty and reinvention. The colleges' widening scope of operations from transfer to vocational, community engagement, remediation, baccalaureate, and adult and continuing education roles is discussed.
The book also interrogates the extent to which the Barbados Community College has shown leadership within the Caribbean and demonstrated the values of accessibility, affordability, flexibility, community engagement and innovation while impacting student success, stakeholder satisfaction and fulfilment of its mission.

The Caribbean has traditionally been understood as a region that did not develop a significant ‘native’ literary culture until the postcolonial period. Indeed, most literary histories of the Caribbean begin with the texts associated with the independence movements of the early twentieth century. However, as recent research has shown, although the printing press did not arrive in the Caribbean until 1718, the roots of Caribbean literary history predate its arrival. This collection contributes to this research by filling a significant gap in literary and historical knowledge with the first collection of essays specifically focused on the literatures of the early Caribbean before 1850.

This book examines the criticism that modern business schools face and how these obstacles have evolved throughout history. Through historical, resource, and professional school contexts, it sheds light on the operating environment of the business school and the challenges endemic to various university-based professional schools, exploring the likelihood that potential interventions will result in success or failure.
Business schools are often accused of inhibiting the practice of business by producing research that is irrelevant and does not address real concerns facing managers. This book investigates these accusations by outlining the historical values on which academic institutions are based, the resources and funding available today, and comparisons to other professional schools which undergo a similar level of scrutiny. This extensive coverage will help academics, administrators, faculty, and policy makers with the tools to understand better the ill-will towards business schools in today’s university structure, and ultimately to deliver on the benefits they provide to stakeholders.
The first book to tell the story of the Advanced Placement program-the gold standard for academic rigor in U.S. high schools and beyond
The Advanced Placement program stands as the foremost source of college-level academics for millions of high school students in the United States and beyond. More than 22,000 schools now participate in it, across nearly forty subjects, from Latin and art to calculus and computer science. Yet remarkably little has been known about how this nongovernmental program became one of the greatest success stories in K-12 education-until now. In Learning in the Fast Lane, Chester Finn and Andrew Scanlan, two of America's most respected education analysts, offer a groundbreaking account of one of the most important educational initiatives of our time.

Cuadra Название: Understanding Creativity: Past, Present and Future Perspectives ISBN: 1536160520 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536160529 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 89750.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book explores the symbiotic relationship between culture and creativity, particularly exploring how resources and cultural values within a society can foster or hinder creativity. Next, this compilation proposes a new method for measuring product creativity with verification of its metric characteristics. This approach entails the construction of a creativity coefficient and a uniqueness coefficient, which are based on the assessment of the originality of the answers provided by respondents. The connection between objective indicators of creativity and its representation on the level of self-consciousness is also discussed by way of a new questionnaire for implicit theories of creativity that diagnoses four scales: originality, intelligence and personal potential, novelty and activity. The authors propose and demonstrate how a student must perceive that the ability to self-correct any discrepancies between actual and desired performance is possible and achievable in order to exhibit a positive response to feedback. "Zones of in-between" are defined as organisational, social and physical spaces at school that have the potential to allow for something else than their ostensible purposes in teaching and teacher-pupil relations. Different types of presence, interactions and expressions occur when pupils have a pause from teaching and interact with other pupils. This kind of creativity is formed by and takes place in sociocultural margins and peripheries. The final paper is a qualitative narrative examination of undergraduate students experiences in a fully online learning community, describing how a community of 90 students divided into three sections of 30 participated in a blended course for 12 weeks which used flipped classroom video podcasts, online discussion boards, and weekly synchronous Adobe Connect conferencing.

The first book to tell the story of the Advanced Placement program, the gold standard for academic rigor in American high schools
The Advanced Placement program stands as the foremost source of college-level academics for millions of high school students in the United States and beyond. More than 22,000 schools now participate in it, across nearly forty subjects, from Latin and art to calculus and computer science. Yet remarkably little has been known about how this nongovernmental program became one of the greatest success stories in K-12 education--until now. In Learning in the Fast Lane, Chester Finn and Andrew Scanlan, two of the country's most respected education analysts, offer a groundbreaking account of one of the most important educational initiatives of our time.
Learning in the Fast Lane traces the story of AP from its mid-twentieth-century origins as a niche benefit for privileged students to its emergence as a springboard to college for high schoolers nationwide, including hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged youth. Today, AP not only opens new intellectual horizons for smart teenagers, but also strengthens school ratings, attracts topflight teachers, and draws support from philanthropists, reformers, and policymakers. At the same time, it faces numerous challenges, including rival programs, curriculum wars, charges of elitism, the misgivings of influential universities, and the difficulty of infusing rigor into schools that lack it. In today's polarized climate, can AP maintain its lofty standards and surmount the problems that have sunk so many other bold education ventures?
Richly documented and thoroughly accessible, Learning in the Fast Lane is a must-read for anyone with a stake in the American school system.

Название: Vocational Education and Training for a Global Economy: Lessons from Four Countries ISBN: 1682533891 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781682533895 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 28430.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Vocational Education and Training for a Global Economy investigates the greatly varying ways in which four countries-Singapore, Switzerland, China, and the United States-prepare young people for the twenty-first-century workplace. The book looks first at the highly successful vocational education and training (VET) systems in Singapore and Switzerland, describing them in revealing detail and accounting for the assumptions and social arrangements that account for their unique features. It then turns to the two largest-and arguably the most dynamic-nations in the world, China and the United States, and examines the differing conditions, goals, and arrangements that have affected their respective programs for preparing their citizens for present and future work. At a time when a highly competitive global economy is prompting profound changes in the workplace and in the skills required for professional success, all countries feel a heightened sense of urgency in finding ways to guide and prepare young people for work. As this book makes clear, however, the resulting preparatory systems within these four countries differ dramatically-and for a wide range of economic, cultural, and political reasons. A detailed and incisive look at VET systems in the United States and abroad, Vocational Education and Training for a Global Economy will be indispensable reading for all who are concerned with preparing youth for today’s competitive and demanding modern workplace.
