Book Synopsis On the Finland Watch by : James Ford Cooper
Download or read book On the Finland Watch written by James Ford Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2001-07 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " THE CHRISTIAN'S POWER BASE [VOLUME 1]: KNOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT" is a book that introduces the Holy Spirit as the most important Gift of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world. Unfortunately, leaders of many denominations want their followers to know about the Holy Spirit, but not know Him personally, as the Enabler, the Comforter, and Helper (John 14: 26). The Lord refers to the Holy Spirit as the "Spirit of Truth", who will lead us into all truth (John 16:13). This emphasizes on the importance for every Christian to be acquainted with the Presence, and the Empowerment of the Holy Spirit in their lives to be able to fight victorious battles against the enemy - Satan - the unseen evil power and hater of truth. The book also teaches the real meaning of "Repentance" that pleases the Lord for the remission of our sins; and the reasons why millions of Christians are weak Spiritually, and fall victims to evil, wickedness,and many other vices that separate them from the Holy Spirit. Through such disconnect, millions become empty of the Holy Spirit, and are considered "living dead", because they exist by their procreated spirits alone. Reasons: because of our ignorance and unbelief (see Matthew 12:22-32; Matthew 12: 43-45). The Holy Spirit is therefore, presented to every Christian, but not to a "selected few" in the Universal Church of Christ,who call themselves "[anointed] men of God", and shut their followers from the knowledge of the Holy Spirit.[See Acts 2: 37 - 40].
Download or read book Finnish Lessons written by Pasi Sahlberg and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now time to break down the ideology of exceptionalism in the United States and other Anglo-American nations if we are to develop reforms that will truly inspire our teachers to improve learning for all our studentsespecially those who struggle the most. In that essential quest, Pasi Sahlberg is undoubtedly one of the very best teachers of all. From the Foreword by Andy Hargreaves, Lynch School of Education, Boston College Finnish Lessons is a first-hand, comprehensive account of how Finland built a world-class education system during the past three decades. The author traces the evolution of education policies in Finland and highlights how they differ from the United States and other industrialized countries. He shows how rather than relying on competition, choice, and external testing of students, education reforms in Finland focus on professionalizing teachers work, developing instructional leadership in schools, and enhancing trust in teachers and schools. This book details the complexity of educational change and encourages educators and policymakers to develop effective solutions for their own districts and schools.
Book Synopsis Teach Like Finland: 33 Simple Strategies for Joyful Classrooms by : Timothy D. Walker
Download or read book Teach Like Finland: 33 Simple Strategies for Joyful Classrooms written by Timothy D. Walker and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-selling book of easy-to-implement classroom lessons from the world’s premier educational system—now available in paperback. Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest on the first Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a set of tests evaluating critical-thinking skills in math, science, and reading. That was in 2001; even today, this tiny Nordic nation continues to amaze. How does Finnish education—with short school days, light homework loads, and little standardized testing—produce students who match the PISA scores of other nations with more traditional “work ethic” standards? When Timothy Walker started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he began a search for the secrets behind the successes of Finland’s education system. Highlighting specific strategies that support joyful K–12 classrooms and can be integrated with U.S. educational standards, this book, available in paperback for the first time, gathers what he learned and shows how any teacher can implement many of Finland's best practices. A new foreword by the author addresses the urgent questions of teaching, and living, in these pandemic times.

Book Synopsis In Teachers We Trust: The Finnish Way to World-Class Schools by : Pasi Sahlberg
Download or read book In Teachers We Trust: The Finnish Way to World-Class Schools written by Pasi Sahlberg and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seven key principles from Finland for building a culture of trust in schools around the world. In the spring of 2018, thousands of teachers across the United States—in states like Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Arizona—walked off their jobs while calling for higher wages and better working conditions. Ultimately, these American educators trumpeted a simple request: treat us like professionals. Teachers in many other countries feel the same way as their US counterparts. In Teachers We Trust presents a compelling vision, offering practical ideas for educators and school leaders wishing to develop teacher-powered education systems. It reveals why teachers in Finland hold high status, and shows what the country’s trust- based school system looks like in action. Pasi Sahlberg and Timothy D. Walker suggest seven key principles for building a culture of trust in schools, from offering clinical training for future teachers to encouraging student agency to fostering a collaborative professionalism among educators. In Teachers We Trust is essential reading for all teachers, administrators, and parents who entrust their children to American schools.

Book Synopsis Constructivism, Narrative and Foreign Policy Analysis by : Christopher S. Browning
Download or read book Constructivism, Narrative and Foreign Policy Analysis written by Christopher S. Browning and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on constructivist approaches to international relations this book develops a narrative theory of identity, action and foreign policy, which is then applied to account for the evolution of Finnish foreign policy. The book adopts an innovative approach by showing how foreign policy orientations need to be seen as grounded in overlapping and competing sets of identity narratives that reappear in different forms through history. By emphasising the dynamism implicit within identity narratives the book not only challenges traditional rationalist materialist approaches to foreign policy analysis, but also the current tendency to depict the story of Finnish foreign policy, identity and history as one of a gradual move towards a Western location. Rather the book emphasises elements of multiplicity and contingency, whilst re-establishing foreign policy as a highly political process concerned with power and the right to define reality and national subjectivity.
Book Synopsis Strangers in a Stranger Land by : John B. Simon
Download or read book Strangers in a Stranger Land written by John B. Simon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it feel like to be an openly Jewish soldier fighting alongside German troops in WWII? Could a Jewish nurse work safely in a field hospital operating theater under the supervision of German army doctors? Several hundred members of Finland’s tiny Jewish community found themselves in absurd situations like this, yet not a single one was harmed by the Germans or deported to concentration or extermination camps. In fact, Finland was the only European country fighting on either side in WWII that lost not a single Jewish citizen to the Nazi’s “Final Solution.” Strangers in a Stranger Land explores the unique dilemma of Finland’s Jews in the form of a meticulously researched novel. Where did these immigrant Jews—the last in Europe to achieve citizenship status—come from? What was life like from their arrival in Finland in the early nineteenth century to the time when their grandchildren perversely found themselves on “the wrong side” of WWII? And how could young lovers plan for the future when not only their enemies but also their country’s allies threatened their very existence? Seven years researching Finland’s National Archives plus numerous in-depth interviews with surviving Finnish Jewish war veterans provide the background for a narrative exploration of love, friendship, and commitment but also uncertainty and terror under circumstances that were unique in the annals of “The Good War.” The novel’s protagonists—Benjamin, David and Rachel—adopt varying survival strategies as they struggle with involvement in a brutal conflict and questions posed by their dual loyalty as Finnish citizens and Zionists committed to the creation of a Jewish homeland. Tensions mount as the three young adults painfully work through a relationship love triangle and try to fulfill their commitments as both Jews and Finns while their country desperately seeks to extricate itself from an unwinnable war.

Book Synopsis An Ethnography of Global Landscapes and Corridors by : Loshini Naidoo
Download or read book An Ethnography of Global Landscapes and Corridors written by Loshini Naidoo and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-03-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters presented in this book draw on ethnography as a methodology in a variety of disciplines, including education, management, design, marketing, ecology and scientific contexts, illustrating the value of a qualitative approach to research design. The chapters discuss the use of traditional ethnographic methods, such as immersion, observation and interview, as well as innovative ethnographical methods which have been influenced by the new digital culture. The latter challenges notions of identity, field and traditional culture such that people are able to represent themselves in the research process rather than be represented. New approaches to ethnography also examine the use and implication of images in representation as well as critically examining the role and impact of the researcher in the process.
