Download or read book Thrive written by Martha Boyne and published by Crown House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martha Boyne, Emily Clements and Ben Wright’s Thrive: In your first three years in teaching equips trainee secondary school teachers with the know-how to lay the foundations for a successful career in teaching, long after the challenging first few years are over. Martha, Emily and Ben are thriving teachers. In Thrive they share their personal experiences and demonstrate how you too can thrive during the tricky training year, the daunting NQT year and the crucial RQT year. Using their collective insights, and plenty of evidence-informed strategies and advice, they detail how you can get to grips with the classroom basics – from behaviour management and lesson planning to differentiation and providing for SEND – and effectively continue your professional development. This book is not just a survival manual to help teachers get through their first three years in teaching. Nor is it an academic text that has been written by authors who have only a distant memory of what it takes to stand in front of a class of teenagers for the first time. Thrive is something very different. It gives both the aspiring and the newly qualified the support and guidance to become a thriving teacher, and has been co-authored by three recently qualified teachers who in this book invest their passion and practical knowledge to inspire and inform others who want to pursue enjoyable and rewarding careers in teaching. Thrive is divided into three parts – specifically detailing what can be expected in the training year, NQT year and RQT year respectively – with the authors’ commentary threaded throughout to demonstrate how the ideas discussed can be successfully put into practice. Their accounts are also complemented by expert advice from two people who are at the very top of their profession, Lianne Allison and Dr Simon Thompson, who provide wider perspectives drawn from a wealth of teaching experience. Forty of the book’s forty-six chapters begin with a checklist outlining what a developing teacher is expected to do, and each chapter ends with a to-do list that can be used as a quick reference point to structure the strategies implemented. These to-do lists are also followed by lists of suggested further reading so that readers can delve deeper into topics and fields of research that they find particularly interesting or relevant. Furthermore, the book offers helpful counsel on choosing the best training route as well as an in-depth analysis of the change in priorities for busy teachers as they progress: encouraging constant reflection, outlining potential pathways and emphasising the importance of evidence-based practice and how new teachers can, and should, incorporate this into their teaching. Rooted in practical strategies and innovative ideas, Thrive is the essential guide for trainee secondary school teachers and teacher trainers.

Download or read book How To Overcome Adversity And Thrive written by Mike Mills and published by Jam 0ne LLC. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Overcome Adversity and Thrive People of all ages face hardships at times. It appears that some people succeed while others fail. Why some people succeed while others fail is not always obvious. Many things can be considered adversity. It's defined as "environmental factors that interfere with or jeopardize the achievement of age-appropriate tasks." Poverty, a pandemic, living with a disability, and communal violence are all forms of adversity that people may encounter. Troubles are something that everyone has to deal with. Some time, we can overcome them without too much difficulty. Other times, they seem insurmountable. How can we learn to overcome adversity and thrive? The first step is to accept that there is a problem and that it needs to be addressed. It can be tempting to try to ignore the problem or pretend it doesn't exist, but this will only make it worse. Acknowledging the existence of the adversity is an important step in overcoming it. The next step is to develop a plan of action. This plan should be realistic and achievable. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to frustration and failure. Take things one step at a time and focus on the task at hand. As you accomplish each goal, you will build confidence and motivation to keep going. It is also important to seek support from others. Friends and family can be a great source of strength during difficult times. There are also many professional organizations that can offer help and advice. These resources can be invaluable in overcoming adversity. Finally, it is essential to maintain hope. This may seem like an impossible task when facing a major challenge, but it is vital to remember that things can and will get better. Have faith in yourself and your ability to overcome the difficulties you are facing. With perseverance and determination, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Download or read book People Who Thrive written by William Carter and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though all people experience varied types and degrees of adversity, an ingrained belief across cultures is that life is meant to be meaningful. When hardship strikes, people search for ways to respond, rebuild, prevail. If it is true that life is meaningful, then hardship, adversity, trauma, grief, wounds, and emotional pain are roadblocks to that end goal. Not insurmountable barriers, but obstacles that can be overcome.Thriving--overcoming hardship--is a learned experience. People who thrive are intentional. They purposely get to know themselves, build support systems, make effective use of emotions, live within hope, and know what it means to love. Finding meaning, thriving is, in some ways, cloaked in mystery. If people can thrive, indeed are meant to thrive, there must be a pathway to that endpoint. People Who Thrive provides a research-based model for successfully coping with life's struggles, and simultaneously teaches thinking, communication, and relationship skills to make people vibrant. Concepts, learning points, and skill-building exercises will draw from cognitive psychology, attachment theory, the positive psychology movement, humanism (self-growth), and posttraumatic growth research.Two key points underlie the book's message:1.All people can find meaning in life, no matter the tragedies and troubles encountered along the way. Thriving is not an end result achieved by a few. All people can find a path to growth in spite of, and sometimes because of, hardship.2.Thriving is a learned skill. Several cognitions (beliefs) are firmly emphasized throughout the book: No matter the form or strength hardship takes, recovery and growth are possible. No matter the twists and turns of Life's trek, nothing can reduce a person's worth and value. Helplessness can be replaced with hope. If life is indeed meant to be meaningful, there must be a reasonable way to find or create meaning.A user-friendly writing style figuratively draws the reader into the psychologist's office. The book's format lends itself to individual reading or group study in mental health or community organizations. The book makes abundant use of lists, tables, examples, reflective exercises, and illustrations to make concepts understandable and personally applicable. Readers will simultaneously gain knowledge and experience therapeutic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about three complementary ideas: 1) learning is a practice of freedom; 2) liberating learning in public education requires widespread cultural change in classrooms, schools, and entire education systems; and 3) social movements have been the most powerful vehicles for widespread cultural change, and in their logic of operation lie the keys to liberate learning. Drawing on existing knowledge and new research on educational change, the author offers nine principles of action to liberate learning in schools and across entire educational systems. Topics discussed include learning, pedagogy, leadership, education policy, widespread cultural change, collective action, and whole system improvement. Written for educators and leaders interested in transforming teaching and learning in classrooms and schools, as well as for public intellectuals and people interested in widespread pedagogical change, the book articulates a new way to think about and pursue educational change.

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into classrooms by age and grade, forcing them to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, seven hours a day, five days a week, for twelve years? We trust the school system to prepare our kids for the future. We get excited when they get good grades, or disappointed if they don’t. But we rarely stop to question whether school is teaching our children the right things in the right way. Kids could get good at playing the game of school, but are they really learning? Teacher-turned-edupreneur Ana Lorena Fábrega, known by her students as Ms. Fab, invites us to rethink education. In The Learning Game, she reveals how traditional schooling has gone wrong, and proposes a series of actionable strategies to help kids learn. What if we guide kids to think for themselves? Should we encourage kids to take risks and tackle projects of their own? How do we help kids learn to love learning? Answering these questions and many more, The Learning Game will arm you with practical tools to design a new approach to learning—one that leaves behind the game of school and prepares your kids for the game of life.
