Download or read book Retention and Resistance written by Pegeen Reichert Powell and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retention and Resistance combines personal student narratives with a critical analysis of the current approach to retention in colleges and universities, and explores how retention can inform a revision of goals for first-year writing teachers. Retention is a vital issue for institutions, but as these students’ stories show, leaving college is often the result of complex and idiosyncratic individual situations that make institutional efforts difficult and ultimately ineffective. An adjustment of institutional and pedagogical objectives is needed to refocus on educating as many students as possible, including those who might leave before graduation. Much of the pedagogy, curricula, and methodologies of composition studies assume students are preparing for further academic study. Retention and Resistance argues for a new kairotic pedagogy that moves toward an emphasis on the present classroom experience and takes students’ varied experiences into account. Infusing the discourse of retention with three individual student voices, Powell explores the obligation of faculty to participate in designing an institution that educates all students, no matter where they are in their educational journey or how far that journey will go.

Download or read book Share Don t Take the Lead written by Craig L. Pearce and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Share, Don’t Take the Lead is a book that offers an alternative perspective on leadership. The philosophy of shared leadership is straightforward: Leadership does not derive solely from position, authority, or hierarchy. Instead, leadership is something that can be executed by anyone who has the best knowledge or skill to undertake the leadership necessary in any given situation. Shared leadership is especially relevant, for example, in empowered teams where shared leadership can be initiated from any team member at any time, depending on the needs of the moment and the capabilities of the individuals. But the notion of shared leadership is also appropriate in a larger context. For example, an individual lower in the hierarchy can provide leadership if that person is best qualified to exercise it. Shared leadership also shows how hierarchical leaders with formal authority can use empowerment to develop leadership in others. This book tells the tales of how multiple trail blazing organizations used shared leadership to build high performance. The notion of shared leadership seems to contradict many of the bedrock ideas of efficient management and effective organizations. A typical first reaction is, “It’ll never work here!” Yet, the organizations that “get it” and implement this new powerful approach tend to be more innovative and to out-perform their “nay-sayer” competitors. In fact, shared leadership is one of the most important ideas to hit business in recent years—our recent feature article about shared leadership in the Wall Street Journal is testimony to that. Shared leadership can provide a way for companies to increase productivity, quality, and flexibility while meeting the competitiveness challenge. Share the Lead provides new insights and information about how to push the organizational envelope to new frontiers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When routines are busy and demands are urgent, it can be difficult to create a space to focus on what is important and gives meaning to our lives. In the moment, our desire to breathe deeply and relax is overruled by our belief that we need to control, to change, or to act on the situation. We need to fix things. The habitual, patterned behavior contains energy that damages our relationships and limits our opportunities. Because this energy is bound in our beliefs, we know that we are right and that others need to change. As pressure builds, tensions increase. In Logosynthesis: Enjoying Life More Fully, the author illustrates her personal development journey to find a tool to help her let go of the energy in her beliefs so that she could find peace and contentment, through reconnecting with the important things in her life. Logosynthesis is both an eloquent philosophy and an effective, self-coachable technique. As she worked with the tool on her own and with friends, she noticed a shift. Rather than constantly reacting to her past experiences and cultural beliefs, she was able let go of the energy that controlled her behavior and create a more productive environment at work, at home, and in her community. This book outlines the method, along with helpful tips, to encourage others to start using Logosynthesis now to enjoy life more fully.
