Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Portfolio Construction: A Guide for Showcasing Social Work Skills guides students through the process of compiling a digital portfolio--a collection of artifacts that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and competencies they have mastered and articulates all they have learned throughout their social work program. The first part of the text focuses on constructing a digital portfolio, which includes the processes of gathering, selecting, reflecting, and sharing assignments and artifacts. In the later chapters, readers gain a greater understanding of the connection between what they learn within their courses and the social work competencies that are the hallmark of the profession. Recognizing that the construction and presentation of a digital portfolio requires active engagement and collaboration between students, faculty, and administration, two valuable appendices provide teaching suggestions for social work instructors and describe the programmatic and administrative contexts necessary to support the successful compilation of a digital portfolio and its use as a program outcome measure. Developed to help future practitioners increase their competence and confidence in presenting their knowledge and skills, Digital Portfolio Construction is a guide that can be integrated within social work curriculum and programs, or leveraged as a tool for independent study. Watch author Dale K. Fitch introduce Digital Portfolio Construction and speak to the how the text can help students recognize and reflect upon the competencies they acquire as they progress through their social work program. Watch Samantha Brown, M.S.W. speak to the importance of social work portfolios and how building a portfolio has been instrumental in her job search and professional networking.
Download or read book Portfolio Society written by Ivan Ascher and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold extension of Marx's Capital for the twenty-first century: at once a critique of modern finance and of the societies under its spell. As financial markets expand and continue to refashion the world in their own image, the wealth of capitalist societies no longer presents itself, as it did to Karl Marx in the nineteenth century, as a “monstrous collection of commodities.” Instead, it appears as an equally monstrous collection of financial securities, and the critique of political economy must proceed accordingly. But what would it mean to write Capital in the twenty-first century? Are we really to believe that risk, rather than labor, is now regarded as the true fount of economic value? Can it truly be the case that the credit relation—at least in the global North—has replaced the wage relation as the key site of exploitation and political struggle? And finally, if precarity is indeed the name of today's proletarian condition, what possible future does it actually portend, what analysis does it require? Through a series of creative substitutions, in Portfolio Society Ivan Ascherextends Marx's critical project in bold and unexpected ways. Ascher not only explains some of the often mystifying processes of contemporary finance, he also invites us to consider what becomes of capitalism itself in those places where the relation of capital to its own future is now mediated by financial markets. In the end, we may find that much has changed and much has not; relations of domination endure, and mystifications abound, but the devil is in the details, and that is where Ascher directs our attention. At once a critique of modern finance and of the societies under its spell, Portfolio Society succeeds in revealing the potential limits of Capital, while reveling still in its limitless potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an approach for using portfolios with elementary level students and shows how the portfolio process can serve as a powerful motivational tool by encouraging students to assess their own work, set goals, and take responsibility for future learning.

Download or read book Flux written by April Rinne and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover eight powerful mindset shifts that enable leaders and seekers of all ages to thrive in a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty. Being adaptable and flexible have always been hallmarks of effective leadership and a fulfilling life. But in a world of so much—and faster-paced—change, and an ever-faster pace of change, flexibility and resilience can be stretched to their breaking points. The quest becomes how to find calm and lasting meaning in the midst of enduring chaos. A world in flux calls for a new mindset, one that treats constant change and uncertainty as a feature, not a bug. Flux helps readers open this mindset—a flux mindset—and develop eight “flux superpowers” that flip conventional ideas about leadership, success, and well-being on their heads. They empower people to see change in new ways, craft new responses, and ultimately reshape their relationship to change from the inside out. April Rinne defines these eight flux superpowers: • Run slower. • See what's invisible. • Get lost. • Start with trust. • Know your “enough.” • Create your portfolio career. • Be all the more human (and serve other humans). • Let go of the future. Whether readers are sizing up their career, reassessing their values, designing a product, building an organization, trying to inspire their colleagues, or simply showing up more fully in the world, enjoying a flux mindset and activating their flux superpowers will keep readers grounded even when the ground is too often shifting beneath them.

The principles of the Portfolio Theory are connected to the Financial Crisis that started as a bursting real-estate bubble in 2006.

On the other hand, the Risk-Return-Paradoxon which supported the evolution of the crisis is discussed.
