Book Synopsis Spinning Wheels by : Frederick M. Hess
Download or read book Spinning Wheels written by Frederick M. Hess and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost everyone agrees that America's urban schools are a mess. But while this agreement has fostered widespread support for aggressive reform, Frederick Hess argues that much of what ails urban education is actually the result of continuous or fragmentary reform. Hess explains that political incentives drive school superintendents to promote reforms--to demonstrate that they are "making a difference." Superintendents have to do this quickly, both because their tenure is usually three years or less and because urban communities are anxious to see educational improvement. However, the nature of urban school districts makes it very difficult to demonstrate concrete short-term improvement. The result is what he terms "policy churn," which distracts teachers and principals from efforts to refine classroom teaching while seldom resulting in successful long-term changes. Hess argues that policymakers have misallocated resources by pursuing the "right" structure or the "best" pedagogy while paying insufficient attention to the more mundane--and more important--questions of how to implement, refine, and sustain a particular approach in their particular district. Hess explains that previous research on high-performing schools suggests that the best schools are characterized by focus and by an ability to develop expertise in specific approaches to teaching and learning. To help educators and policymakers adopt and nurture a focused agenda, he recommends institutional changes that increase the effectiveness of performance outcomes and reduce the incentives to emphasize symbolic reform.

Download or read book Skinny Revisited written by Maria Baratta and published by N A S W Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the publisher. Skinny Revisited: Rethinking Anorexia Nervosa and Its Treatment offers a thorough overview and etiological explanation of anorexia as an eating disorder. Writing from a feminist sociobehavioral perspective, Maria Baratta forges a powerful argument about the role that our culture at large plays in creating the environment for disordered eating among women. Women are constantly bombarded with messages from the media to value ''skinny'' and to strive for thinness, no matter how great the dangers. Despite its seriousness, anorexia can be treated, and Baratta presents a successful treatment model that teaches how to engage an anorexic in such a way as to encourage eating. On the basis of 28 years of clinical practice, the author provides clinical cases that demonstrate the use of the ''language of the anorexic'' as a treatment intervention. Finally, the book explains how to create an individualized, healthy eating plan as opposed to following a diet designed to be applicable to anyone struggling with an eating disorder. For anyone with a professional, academic, or personal interest in anorexia nervosa, Skinny Revisited is a tremendous resource.
Download or read book Spinning Wheels written by Frank Buxton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story opens in the early nineteen sixties, at a fictional isolated Catholic Convent somewhere in North Wales. As the story gently unfolds, the main characters honestly start to consider the foundations, and tribal marking of organised religion, especially of their own. (Devout Christians will find this book to be a very challenging read.) Calmly they each discard their belief that Christ was the only Son of God. Christ's message however; 'love Thy neighbour as Thyself' is happily acknowledged as the only way of ensuring the continuing survival of the Human Race. Weaving around this main theme are several honest, if rather robust, love stories. At appropriate points, the debilitating effect of loneliness is sympathetically portrayed, and arguments against committing suicide are also presented. Kirkus reviews: - An engaging tale. The story is strong and the erotica is nicely balanced by the humanity of the characters
