Book Synopsis Challenging Situations by : Elisabeth Fraser
Download or read book Challenging Situations written by Elisabeth Fraser and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionEach chapter in this book is about a Challenging Situation as experienced by my sister. There is no attempt or thought in her writing to present an intellectual account of these situations in any way; they just represent how my sister experienced them, and responded to them, during her life. The first paragraph or so is a simple imaginary story to introduce an aspect of a situation that is commonly experienced. The next one or more paragraphs represent a description of the deeper significance that these aspects have come to mean to my sister.The remaining paragraphs present highlights from her own experiences, which led her to understand the underlying meaning that underpins these aspects of situations in people's lives. I think many readers will enjoy, as I have, comparing their own experiences to my sister's and thereby see the commonality that pervades all people across the planet.By Edward Averill About the AuthorElisabeth Fraser had a lengthy career as a sales manager, editor and author for Jarrold Publishing.

Book Synopsis Exploring C2 Capability and Effectiveness in Challenging Situations by : Magdalena Granåsen
Download or read book Exploring C2 Capability and Effectiveness in Challenging Situations written by Magdalena Granåsen and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern societies are affected by various threats and hazards, including natural disasters, cyber-attacks, extreme weather events and inter-state conflicts. Managing these challenging situations requires immediate actions, suspension of ordinary procedures, decision making under uncertainty and coordinated action. In other words, challenging situations put high demands on the command and control (C2) capability. To strengthen the capability of C2, it is vital to identify the prerequisites for effective coordination and direction within the domain of interest. This thesis explores C2 capability and effectiveness in three domains: interorganizational crisis management, military command and control, and cyber defence operations. The thesis aims to answer three research questions: (1) What constitutes C2 capability? (2) What constitutes C2 effectiveness? and (3) How can C2 effectiveness be assessed? The work was carried out as two case studies and one systematic literature review. The main contributions of the thesis are the identification of perspectives of C2 capability in challenging situations and an overview of approaches to C2 effectiveness assessment. Based on the results of the three studies, six recurring perspectives of capability in the domains studied were identified: interaction (collaboration), direction and coordination, relationships, situation awareness, resilience and preparedness. In the domains there are differences concerning which perspectives that are most emphasized in order obtain C2 capability. C2 effectiveness is defined as the extent to which a C2 system is successful in achieving its intended result. The thesis discusses the interconnectedness of performance and effectiveness measures, and concludes that there is not a united view on the difference between measures of effectiveness and measures of performance. Different approaches to effectiveness assessment were identified, where assessment may be conducted based on one specific issue, in relation to a defined goal for a C2 function or using a more exploratory approach.
Book Synopsis Student teachers’ and beginning teachers’ coping with emotionally challenging situations by : Henrik Lindqvist
Download or read book Student teachers’ and beginning teachers’ coping with emotionally challenging situations written by Henrik Lindqvist and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avhandlingen behandlar lärarstudenternas och nyblivna lärares erfarenheter av obehagliga situationer. Frågeställningar innefattar: Vilka situationer beskriver lärarstudenter och nyblivna lärare som emotionellt påfrestande? Hur hanterar lärarstudenter och nyblivna lärare emotionellt påfrestande situationer som beskrivs? Avhandlingen innefattar fyra artiklar som behandlar dessa frågeställningar. Resultat visar att lärarstudenters hanterandestrategier innefattar (1) att skjuta fram lärande att hantera känslomässigt påfrestande situationer när de börjar att arbeta samt (2) att acceptera att det inte går att påverka situationer som är känslomässigt påfrestande och då enbart acceptera de förhållanden som skapar känslomässigt utmanade situationer. Andra strategier som studierna har visat innefattade att verka för förändring, vara en del av ett kollektiv eller att förminska ansvar som sätt att hantera känslomässiga utmaningar. Lärarstudenter etablerade gränser som ett sätt att hantera påfrestande situationer i relation till känslomässigt arbetet och i förhållande till olika relationer. De nyblivna lärarna var tvungna att förhålla sig till konflikter. Detta gjorde nyblivna lärare i studien genom att verka för sin autonoma position, genom att engagera sig i samarbete, genom att försöka påverka eller genom att alliera sig med arbetsplatsens värdeförmedling. Dessa strategier verkar vara sammanlänkade med olika konsekvenser, där autonomi och att vara en påverkanskraft i större utsträckning verkar leda till tankar om att byta skola eller att sluta som lärare.
Book Synopsis Youths in Challenging Situations by : Charalambos Tsekeris
Download or read book Youths in Challenging Situations written by Charalambos Tsekeris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates and explores the complex dynamics of youth in contemporary society, especially in troubled and crisis-ridden contexts. On the one hand, teenagers and young adults experience social suffering, marginalisation, gender and ethnic bias, and an increased risk to be radicalised and involved in extremism and related violence. On the other hand, it is shown that young people are resilient, and they have a remarkable ability to adapt and cope with extremely difficult situations. This interesting ambivalence is vividly illustrated by a number of studies in countries as varied as Ethiopia, Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Brazil, Hong Kong, Kuwait, India, Israel, Britain, Italy, Malta, Spain, Portugal and Cyprus. Each of the 16 chapters throws a different light on the impact of destabilising circumstances and how youths cope with them in order to gain positive self-esteem and sense of a meaningful life. Overall, the experiences of young people are a distillation of the particular traumas and challenges that their society faces. Understanding those experiences and how they are coped with helps to make sense of all societies. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.

Book Synopsis Leading Schools in Challenging Circumstances by : Philip Smith
Download or read book Leading Schools in Challenging Circumstances written by Philip Smith and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leadership of schools can make a significant difference to enhancing the life chances of students in schools and enabling them to succeed. This book examines leadership within schools, focusing on securing success within a challenging social and political environment. It explores the approaches to leadership adopted by four successful secondary school headteachers in a local authority situated in an area of high social deprivation and identifies the impact the headteachers of these schools have on staff, students and community. It analyses the key leadership strategies of these successful school leaders, strategies that can be deployed in all schools, and explores the links between leadership theories and leadership actions. The book goes on to examine how these strategies were actually implemented in a failing school in challenging circumstances and shows how other schools might benefit from such strategies and the insights on which they are based.

Book excerpt: In good times and bad, in times of economic downturn and times of wartime peril, we as Americans have shown our mettle. There is something in the historical DNA of this people - a resilience, a power, a talent for innovation, a unique and empowering bravery - that has carried us forward as a nation and a people for nearly 250 years. This book is about this history, this inheritance, this people. These characteristics apply not just to the people of the United States as a whole, but to each of us as individuals. Whether we are leaders, followers, friends, co-workers, parents, spouses, partners or simply sojourners in this thing we call life - it is rare for us to see those we care about suffer and not want to change their circumstances or alleviate their suffering. It is an almost in-born trait that we as individuals and as a nation tend to seek ways to overcome the challenges we periodically face. Home of the Brave is about meeting our individual challenges and the challenges of those we care about and care for. It is about finding the time-proven principles in the historical DNA of great Americans that we can draw on - not only for strength but for practical insight and action that can make even the most challenging times more manageable, even conquerable.

Book excerpt: "James Nottingham and Bosse Larsson offer an important and useful new addition to the ongoing conversation about mindset first introduced by Carol Dweck. Too often, theories such as mindset get reduced down to the simplest dichotomies and ideologies. Here, Nottingham and Larsson challenge our own mindset about the very idea of mindset theory itself, showing us what is possible if we really understand the theory and use it to challenge ourselves and our students." Jim Burke, Teacher, Burlingame High School, and Author, Common Core Companion Series This book answers key questions about Carol Dweck’s theory of Mindset – What is a ‘growth mindset’ and what difference can it make? Why are growth mindset interventions not working in schools (yet) and what can be done to change this? What is a ‘failure mindset’ and why is it more influential than an adult’s fixed or growth mindset? Drawing on their experiences of presenting alongside Carol Dweck on many occasions, James Nottingham and Bosse Larsson tackle head-on these questions with research-backed clarity, and share proven strategies for mindset success. Mindset doesn’t matter when things are easy; it is only when faced with challenges that working from a growth mindset influences learning. Highlights of the book include: Comments and insights from Carol Dweck to enhance your understanding of her important work A detailed and nuanced examination of how mindset works and what you can do to make it more effective for your students An exploration of the relationship between mindset and grades Strategies to encourage a growth mindset during moments of challenge Comprehensive lesson ideas for teaching students about mindset Why praising ‘effort’ can be powerful but also problematic, with an identification of what type of praise is best Examples of how to make the most of mindset theory and practice Everyone has a mindset that shapes their personality, motivation and development. This book shows you how to create the right conditions for a growth mindset to flourish in your classroom, your school, your staff and your students.
