Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How should a student's learning be measured and assessed Standardized tests identify the most knowledgeable child, whereas student portfolios can identify the knowledge level of each individual child. In The Power of Portfolios, Elizabeth A. Hebert offers a practical and imaginative 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. Throughout the book Hebert relates stories that illuminate the lessons learned -- by the students, teachers, and principal -- from a school that has used portfolios for more than a decade. Rather than prescribing what the portfolio should contain and how it should be assessed, she offers practical guidance, including classroom exercises, for making the portfolio experience a success for the students, the teachers, and the school as a whole.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Professional and academic writing is often seen as dull, dry, and as boring to write as it is to read. In The Work of Writing, Rankin challenges these assumptions by encouraging the professional writer to develop a strong writing voice and become fully engaged with the writing process, thus producing written work that is lively and engaging. This book will give academic practitioners and other professionals critical help in determining what to write, how to write it, and how to position their written works succesfully for the markets they wish to reach. Rather than a style manual, The Work of Writing focuses on the thinking, strategizing, and decision making that goes on in the heads of academic and professional writers. In doing so, it deals with the complex issues of purpose, audience, genre, and voice that all writers face. Drawing on collective experience of academic and professional readers as well as writers, Rankin offers a framework to help writers think about their writing in realistic, practical, and productive ways. The book offers specific examples and 'real-life' scenarios that are familiar to all academic writers--and by extension, to practicing professionals as well.…

In der gängigen Literatur wird das Risiko nach statistischen und probabilistischen Methoden berechnet, wodurch der Eindruck entsteht, dass man das Risiko berechnen und damit steuern kann. Dieses Buch will zeigen, dass solche Annahmen zwar nicht gänzlich falsch sind, aber nur einen Teil der Wahrheit beinhalten. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, wie klar Aufgaben definiert sind und wie oft wir miteinander sprechen - nichts ist wirklich eindeutig. Autorin Helga Drummond erläutert, dass Vieles von dem, was wir als real bezeichnen, in Wirklichkeit mehrdeutig ist und sich verändert. Sie stützt sich dabei weniger auf die Statistik als vielmehr auf die Dynmaik des Wandels und verbindet das Risiko mit der Entscheidungsfindung im Unternehmen. Damit bietet sie eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung über das Wesen des Risikos und des Entscheidungsfindungsprozesses.…
