Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The focus of this book extends the discourse on student engagement beyond prescriptive definitions and includes substantive ethical and political issues relating to this concept. As such, this collection includes voices of educational theorists, practitioners, and students. It provides a counter discourse to the current dialogue on student engagement in educational theory and practice which equate it primarily with behavioral and attitudinal characteristics including student compliance and qualities of teaching or teachers. In this collection, engagement is not viewed simply as a matter of techniques, strategies or behaviours. Rather, the understandings of student engagement presented, while distinct from each other, are imbued with a common vision of education for democratic transformation or reconstruction as operational for and in democratic communities. Contributors to this volume examine issues of the purpose of student engagement, and the question of the criteria, standards, and norms which are used to determine the quality and degree of engagement, and ultimately whether or not all forms of student engagement are equally worthwhile. This collection is intended for use in teacher and administrator preparation programs as well as school and district professional development initiatives. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. New digital technologies are changing the way organizations are designed and work is done. Companies that have seized this opportunity are finding that they can speed up innovation, enhance collaboration across boundaries, and enable greater commitment and creativity. This totally new approach for digitally-enabled collaboration doesnt stop at the edge of an organizations boundary but extends beyond it in space and time. We refer to these new ways of organizing as braids - an intertwined network of contributors with different capabilities, not controlled or managed by a formal hierarchy, who work together to invent ways to accomplish a common purpose in line with organizations mission and strategy. Braids allow significant advantages over traditional, hierarchical, mechanistic and bounded ways of organizing. These include access to knowledge and capabilities that are key to achieving breakthrough levels of performance; improved coordination among individuals and groups performing interdependent tasks; increased organizational agility; enhanced knowledge-processing as experts contribute more directly to the most important technical and strategic decisions; and greater motivation, as people team together to leverage their capabilities to innovate and accelerate performance. Learning from the trailblazing experimentation of companies like Airbus, Procter & Gamble, Red Hat, and Dassault Systemes, this book outlines how to approach designing braided organizations for a variety of purposes, such as enhancing open innovation or enabling greater supply chain adaptability in order to respond to changing customer demands. In the past, human limitations have restricted the ways we organize companies for growth. Today, theres no excuse for allowing the organizational chart as its currently drawn to constrain possibilities for improved performance and innovation. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Filipino Americans have a long and rich history with and within the United States, and they are currently thesecond largest Asian group in the country. However, very little is known about how their historical andcontemporary relationship with America may shape their psychological experiences. The most insidiouspsychological consequence of their historical and contemporary experiences is colonial mentality orinternalized oppression. Some common manifestations of this phenomenon are described below:.Skin-whitening products are used often by Filipinos in the Philippines to make their skins lighter. Skinwhitening clinics and businesses are popular in the Philippines as well. The 'beautiful' people such as actorsand other celebrities endorse these skin-whitening procedures. Children are told to stay away from the sun sothey do not get 'too dark.' Many Filipinos also regard anything 'imported' to be more special than anything'local' or made in the Philippines.In the United States, many Filipino Americans make fun of 'fresh-off-the-boats' (FOBs) or those who speak English with Filipino accents. ManyFilipino Americans try to dilute their 'Filipino-ness' by saying that they are mixed with some other races. Also, many Filipino Americans regardFilipinos in the Philippines, and pretty much everything about the Philippines, to be of 'lower class' and those of the 'third world.'The historical and contemporary reasons for why Filipino -/ Americans display these attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors - often referred to as colonialmentality - are explored in Brown Skin, White Minds. This book is a peer-reviewed publication that integrates knowledge from multiple scholarly andscientific disciplines to identify the past and current catalysts for such self-denigrating attitudes and behaviors. It takes the reader from indigenous Taoculture, Spanish and American colonialism, colonial mentality or internalized oppression along with its implications on Kapwa, identity, and mentalhealth, to decolonization in the clinical, community, and research settings.This book is intended for the entire community - teachers, researchers, students, and service providers interested in or who are working with Filipinosand Filipino Americans, or those who are interested in the psychological consequences of colonialism and oppression. This book may serve as a toolfor remembering the past and as a tool for awakening to address the present.
