Download or read book Team CARE together we win written by Marco Laganà and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is for: Anyone working in a team, who wants to make it work. Anyone struggling in a team but who wants to make a contribution and give meaning to their daily work routine: particularly the leaders and the coaches, but also those working in human resources. Anyone who believes that a team's human capital is worth much more than the sum of the individuals in it (and their 'cost') - as long as the team functions well. How do we make the team function well? We have to care about it, and take care of it. People are not talents per se, but every person has talents, skills they can utilise to help others. It is up to us to discover, to inspire, to give them the right role and enhance their place in the team, because together we win. If you have a problem at work, you do not need to change the individuals in the team. You need to change the way you see, engage, manage and value them. If you have weaknesses, you can try to work on them but sometimes it is better to leverage on others' strengths and work together. If you are a striker, instead of being forced to play as a goalkeeper, you should play with a goalkeeper!

How do we make the team work well? You need to take care of it! That's why Team-CARE. No people are talents in themselves, but each has talents and skills to make available or at the service of others. It's about discovering them, inspiring them, giving them the proper role, and valuing them in the team to win together. Let's find out how! If you have a problem at work, you may not need to change the people you work with. It would help if you changed how you see them, motivate them, manage them, and value them. If you have weaknesses, you can try to improve them, but sometimes it's better to leverage each other's strengths and work together. If you're a striker, play with a goalkeeper instead of forcing yourself to play as a goalkeeper.

Download or read book Learning to Learn written by Ruth Deakin Crick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to Learn provides a much needed overview and international guide to the field of learning to learn from a multidisciplinary lifelong and lifewide perspective. A wealth of research has been flourishing on this key educational goal in recent years. Internationally, it is considered to be one of the key competencies needed to compete in the global economy, but also a crucial factor for individual and social well-being. This book draws on leading international contributors to provide a cutting-edge overview of current thinking on learning to learn research, policy, and implementation in both formal and informal learning environments. But what learning to learn is exactly, and what its constituting elements are, are much debated issues. These seem to be the crucial questions if assessment and development of this 'malleable side of intelligence' are to be accomplished. The approach of this volume is to consider a broad conception of learning to learn, not confined to only study strategies or metacognition, yet acknowledging the importance of such elements. The book sets out to answer five main questions: What is learning to learn? What are its functions and how do we assess it? What does it promise to the individual and society at large? How is it conceived in national curricula internationally? How can it be developed in a variety of contexts? The text is organized into two parts: the first addresses the core question of the nature of learning to learn from a theoretical and policy viewpoint, and the second presents recent research carried out in several educational systems, with special attention to assessment and curriculum. It gives an account of pedagogical practices of learning to learn and its role in individual empowerment from childhood to adulthood. Contributors also highlight the potential use of learning to learn as an organizing concept for lifelong learning, school improvement, and teacher training along with potential conflicts with existing incentive practices and policies. This book is a vital starting point and guide for any advanced student or researcher looking to understand this important area of research.

Download or read book Reproducing Inequalities in Teaching written by Stefania Pigliapoco and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyses how lines of (non)belonging are traced and how notions of (non)belonging circulate around and are attached to students from immigrant backgrounds. Such circulations coalesce around values and practices linked to gendered, ethnic majority middle-class norms, through which difference is positioned and opposed in hierarchical terms. This project analyses the relationship between teachers’ identities and their attitudes and pedagogic dispositions towards students from immigrant backgrounds, showing how these affect each other, contributing to their state of (non)belonging in the educational setting and in the wider society. Attention is brought to the pervasive and normalised background of neoliberal ideology, permeating the educational environment. In examining the (problematic) relationship between the previous elements, the book uncovers the intersectional reproduction of lines of belonging - and not belonging. While the analysis is centred on a study in Italy, it is situated within and provides links to international connections, facilitating a wider and global understanding of issues related to social justice. The book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers across sociology, education, gender, and cultural studies. Due to the intersectional approach and the width of the issues explored, it will be of use to policymakers and practitioners.

Download or read book International Perspectives on Exclusionary Pressures in Education written by Elizabeth J. Done and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines and problematises the concept of 'educational inclusion' within schools. Despite varying definitions of inclusion according to national context, there is a growing consensus that educational systems presented as ‘inclusive’ in policy and professional discourse, in practice, legitimise processes that appear far from inclusive. The editors and contributors draw together research from multiple contexts that considers systemic exclusionary pressures and practices from multiple perspectives, particularly less visible forms of social and educational exclusion. The book calls for true inclusion as an overriding socio-political and educational policy objective, and to end the marginalisation of specific groups beyond familiar neoliberal political discourses of piecemeal remediation.

Download or read book Educational Leadership Management and Administration through Actor Network Theory written by Paolo Landri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational Leadership, Management, and Administration through Actor-Network Theory presents how actor-network theory (ANT) and the related vocabularies have much to offer to a critical re-imagination of the dynamics of management in education and educational leadership. It extends the growing contemporary perspective of ANT into the study of educational administration and management. This book draws on case studies focusing on new configurations of educational management and leadership. It presents new developments of ANT ("After ANT" and "Near ANT") and clarifies how these "sensibilities" can contribute to thinking critically and intervening in the current dynamics of education. The book proposes that ANT can offer an ecological understanding of educational leadership which is helpful in abandoning the narrow humanistic world of managerialism, considering a post-anthropocentric scenario where it is necessary to compose together new "liveable" assemblages of humans and nonhumans. This book will be of great interest to academics, scholars and post-graduate students in the fields of educational management, leadership and administration, as well as education policy. It will also be highly relevant to policy makers and experts of education policy at the national, European and international levels.
