Book excerpt: When writing workshop first blossomed in classrooms, its hallmarks were genuine curiosity, individual choice, quality conversations, and engaging children's literature. A joyous hum of intention, creativity, and craft enlivened the school day. But today's teachers are often faced with a range of obstacles, as new initiatives are embraced, mandates handed down, and scripted programs purchased. Sometimes teachers must sacrifice the original principles of writing workshop and lose that joyous hum. Above and Beyond the Writing Workshop by Shelley Harwayne is filled with original, joyful writing challenges designed to bring back the spirit of the original writing workshop model while encouraging educators to enhance it through invention, innovation, and inspiration. These challenges are meant to generate other lessons and other projects, as teachers come to realize that teaching writing is not only possible but perhaps the most important, relevant, and gratifying part of their instruction. Shelley invites teachers to keep the groundbreaking spirit alive by: taking back their writing workshops finding time for professional conversations trying out new ideas in the company of colleagues encouraging children to be inquisitive, outspoken, and independent reminding children how fascinating the world is helping students delight in figuring out how things work and then teaching others what they have learned offering children an opportunity to think deeply about their passions and giving one another new things to love showing children that high quality writing can and will make a difference in the world. Shelley believes children who write what matters to them - their experiences, their beliefs, their observations - will find their lives enhanced. She seeks to raise activists who, by becoming more aware of the world and asking why things are the way they are, will be empowered to make it better.

In this arduous environment, the organization was crippled by a broken maintenance philosophy, broken repair processes, and the worst maintenance readiness in years. Richardson fundamentally changed the way they did things through aggressive initiatives, visionary leadership, and key process changes centered on a comprehensive reform of the maintenance philosophy. He then helped navigate the organization by elevating readiness from 37 percent up to as high as 72 percent through innovation and smart maintenance practicesthe most successful readiness in a decade. While guiding the organization through epic changes, Richardson empowered the workforce and created a culture of continuous process improvement, excelling at routine day-to-day maintenance completion to complex depot-level repairs on time with zero production delays. In 2016, they executed 769,000 production hours and saved over $23.2 million in contractor cost avoidance for depot maintenance requirements.

The accomplishments achieved were earmarked as the best maintenance practices of any platform in the navy to sustain the highest level of materiel and combat craft readiness to meet operational commander tasking, which led them above and beyond.
Download or read book Quality Assurance in Logistics written by Vansh Tailor and published by Vansh Tailor. This book was released on 2024-05-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world driven by ever-evolving consumer demands and fierce market competition, the concept of quality stands as a cornerstone of success for businesses across industries. Quality is not merely a buzzword; it's a fundamental principle that encompasses the essence of excellence, reliability, and customer satisfaction. From the products we use daily to the services we rely on, quality permeates every facet of our lives, shaping our experiences and perceptions. At its core, quality signifies the degree of superiority or excellence inherent in a product, service, or process. It embodies the relentless pursuit of perfection, the unwavering commitment to meeting or exceeding standards, and the relentless drive to delight customers. Whether it's the precision engineering behind a cutting-edge gadget, the seamless functionality of a software application, or the impeccable service delivered by a hospitality provider, quality manifests itself in myriad forms, each contributing to the overall value proposition. However, quality extends beyond mere product attributes; it encompasses a spectrum of dimensions that collectively define its essence. Reliability, durability, performance, safety, and customer satisfaction are among the key pillars upon which quality rests. A reliable product instills confidence in its users, a durable solution withstands the test of time, high performance delivers tangible benefits, safety ensures peace of mind, and customer satisfaction fosters loyalty and advocacy.
Download or read book Without Ever Reaching the Summit written by Paolo Cognetti and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exquisitely written journal-turned-journey of self-discovery, international bestselling author Paolo Cognetti examines our universal desire for connection through a voyage in the Himalayas. Why climb a mountain without ever reaching the summit? In 2017, Paolo Cognetti returned to Nepal, not to conquer the mountains but to journey through the high valleys of the Dolpo with a copy of Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard in hand. Drawing on memories of his childhood in theAlps, Cognetti explored the roots of life in the mountains, truly getting to know the communities and the nature that forged this resilient, almost mythical region. Accompanying him was Remigio, a childhood friend who had never left the mountains of Italy, and Nicola, a painter he had recently met. Joined by a stalwart team of local sherpas, the trio started out in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal. From there, a journey of self-discovery shaped by illness, human connection, and empathy was born. Without Ever Reaching the Summit features line illustrations drawn by the author.
