This competency standards framework presents the knowledge, the know how to do, the know how to be, and the know how to become every successful teacher supervisor should possess, and proposes for each order a summary of existing literature and accessible theories. This competence reference manual will help supervisors acquire invaluable pedagogical and relational skills to perform high-quality, high-results supervision.
Download or read book Pivot Patterns in the Former Prophets written by Nathan Klaus and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'pivot pattern' is a unique type of chiasmus, a linguistic pattern characterized by an inversion of the internal order of a phrase or passage. The main idea is found primarily at its pivot, while its elements, normally of an uneven number, are distributed on both sides of the pivot in a mirrored symmetry. Klaus undertakes here to compile a 'grammar' of the pattern, and to characterize, exemplify and differentiate its various forms.

Download or read book The Divided West written by Jürgen Habermas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Make no mistake, the normative authority of the United States of America lies in ruins. Such is the judgment of the most influential thinker in Europe today reflecting on the political repercussions of the war in Iraq. The decision to go to war in Iraq, without the explicit backing of a Security Council Resolution, opened up a deep fissure in the West which continues to divide erstwhile allies and to hinder the attempt to develop a coordinated response to the new threats posed by international terrorism. In this timely and important volume, Jürgen Habermas responds to the dramatic political events of the period since September 11, 2001, and maps out a way to move the political agenda forward, beyond the acrimonious debates that have pitched opponents of the war against the Bush Administration and its coalition of the willing. What is fundamentally at stake, argues Habermas, is the Kantian project of overcoming the state of nature between states through the constitutionalization of international law. Habermas develops a detailed multidimensional model of transnational and supranational governance inspired by Kantian cosmopolitanism, situates it in the context of the evolution of international law toward a cosmopolitan constitutional order during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and defends it against the new challenge posed by the hegemonic liberal vision underlying the aggressive unilateralism of the current US administration. The Divided West is a major intervention by one of the most highly regarded political thinkers of our time. It will be essential reading for students of sociology, politics, international relations, and international law, and it will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the current and future course of European and international politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid, fast-paced inside look at financial markets, the people who work on them, and how technology is changing their world (and ours). Markets are messy, and no one knows this better than traders who work tirelessly to predict what they will do next. In Whoosh Goes the Market, Daniel Scott Souleles takes us into the day-to-day experiences of a team at a large trading firm, revealing what it's actually like to make and lose money on contemporary capital markets. The traders Souleles shadows have mostly moved out of the pits and now work with automated, glitch-prone computer systems. They remember the days of trading manually, and they are suspicious of algorithmically driven machine-learning systems. Openly musing about their own potential extinction, they spend their time expressing fear and frustration in profanity-laced language. With Souleles as our guide, we learn about everything from betting strategies to inflated valuations, trading swings, and market manipulation. This crash course in contemporary finance vividly reveals the existential anxiety at the evolving front lines of American capitalism.
Download or read book Ricoeur as Another written by Richard A. Cohen and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2002-01-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by internationally known Paul Ricoeur experts explores the noted philosopher's book, Oneself as Another. Ricoeur's book represents the completion of a decades-long inquiry into the self as he links his earlier studies of symbolism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, the philosophy of language, action theory, and theory of narrative to his most recent concern for ethics and the social constitution of ethical subjectivity. Cohen and Marsh's volume is divided into two parts, the first primarily involving Ricoeur's thought itself, and the second involving the relation of his thought to that of others, such as Levinas, Rawls, Habermas, Apel, Taylor, and MacIntyre. The contributors also offer detailed examinations of Ricoeur's ethical theory and its ontological implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Decoding Reality: Spycraft Meets Self-Development" is an invigorating guide that intertwines the exhilarating world of espionage with the introspective journey towards self-improvement and career advancement. Authored by a seasoned intelligence expert, this book presents an innovative approach, showing how the skills and strategies used in intelligence operations can be applied to personal and professional growth. At its core, "Decoding Reality" explores the unexpected parallels between the art of espionage and the quest for personal fulfillment. The author, drawing on a wealth of experience from high-stakes intelligence missions, unveils how the essence of happiness and success, much like covert messages in espionage, is a complex code waiting to be deciphered. The book is a fusion of spy tales and insightful lessons, offering a unique perspective on life's challenges and opportunities. Each chapter in "Decoding Reality" is structured as a mission, guiding the reader through various aspects of spy-craft and how they relate to everyday life. Topics include strategic thinking, resilience, sharp observation, and decision-making under pressure. The book demonstrates how these skills, honed in the world of intelligence, are equally vital in navigating personal and professional landscapes. Strategic thinking, a cornerstone of intelligence work, is presented as a tool for making more informed decisions and achieving long-term goals. The book delves into techniques for analysing complex situations, planning ahead, and anticipating outcomes, empowering readers to apply these methods to their own life scenarios. Resilience, another key theme, is explored through the lens of covert operations. The author shares how resilience developed in high-pressure intelligence missions can be a powerful asset in overcoming personal setbacks and challenges. This section includes practical advice on building mental toughness and adaptability. Observational skills, crucial in intelligence gathering, are shown to enhance interpersonal relationships and self-awareness. The book provides exercises and tips on improving attentiveness to details in one's environment and in interactions with others, leading to deeper connections and better understanding of oneself and others. "Decoding Reality" also emphasises the importance of ethical considerations and the balance between achieving objectives and maintaining personal integrity. It addresses the moral dilemmas often encountered in espionage and parallels them with everyday ethical choices, encouraging readers to navigate their own moral compass. Throughout the book, personal anecdotes from the author's career in intelligence add authenticity and excitement, bringing the lessons to life. These stories not only captivate but also serve as real-world examples of how espionage tactics can be applied outside of the intelligence community. "Decoding Reality" is not just a book; it's a call to action. It challenges readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery, using the tools and techniques of espionage to unlock their potential. It's an invitation to start decoding the realities of one's life, whether the reader is driven by curiosity, self-improvement, or professional development. It's a compelling read for anyone interested in intelligence, personal development, or simply looking for a unique approach to navigating the complexities of life.
Download or read book The Great Formal Machinery Works written by Jan von Plato and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information age owes its existence to a little-known but crucial development, the theoretical study of logic and the foundations of mathematics. The Great Formal Machinery Works draws on original sources and rare archival materials to trace the history of the theories of deduction and computation that laid the logical foundations for the digital revolution. Jan von Plato examines the contributions of figures such as Aristotle; the nineteenth-century German polymath Hermann Grassmann; George Boole, whose Boolean logic would prove essential to programming languages and computing; Ernst Schröder, best known for his work on algebraic logic; and Giuseppe Peano, cofounder of mathematical logic. Von Plato shows how the idea of a formal proof in mathematics emerged gradually in the second half of the nineteenth century, hand in hand with the notion of a formal process of computation. A turning point was reached by 1930, when Kurt Gödel conceived his celebrated incompleteness theorems. They were an enormous boost to the study of formal languages and computability, which were brought to perfection by the end of the 1930s with precise theories of formal languages and formal deduction and parallel theories of algorithmic computability. Von Plato describes how the first theoretical ideas of a computer soon emerged in the work of Alan Turing in 1936 and John von Neumann some years later. Shedding new light on this crucial chapter in the history of science, The Great Formal Machinery Works is essential reading for students and researchers in logic, mathematics, and computer science.
