Download or read book The Silver Bullet Easy Learning System written by John Jensen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-12-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students can change rapidly. Just entering a different room they may feel happier and more successful because they respond instantly to changed conditions. The same students may be bored and uncooperative, and then learn zestfully. The most powerful influence available to teachers is students' opinion of each other. Properly applied, it inspires them to do better in all ways, with results evident in a couple weeks, K-12. They're more cooperative, supportive, gain firm knowledge hourly, and are proud of their accomplishments. National legislation ordering schools to change is an unwanted distraction. Teachers instead need methods easy to apply that work quickly and obviously. With seven key elements and fifty-four methods, this book explains • How current instruction insures superficial learning • Easy changes that increase long-term mastery • How the axiom "Practice makes perfect" applies to learning • How to generate pride with hourly success and turn it into a body of knowledge • The absolute fastest way to get mutual support and harmony • How to make learning a team sport that includes everyone • How to solve the national problem of assessing learning objectively. • How to discipline without alienating • How students remember the most for the longest time

Download or read book FINDING YOUR INNER LENIN written by John Jensen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-07-31 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a society absorbed in short-term self-interest, group think, moral confusion, and the cowboy problem change itself? In a coffee shop, my friend Dave asked about title of the book I was editing. When I told him, his eyes opened wide and he smiled. “What does that mean to you?” I asked. “Lenin was a revolutionary, a visionary!” he answered, “but you’re proposing a different way to do that.” “That’s it,” I exclaimed. “You’re the person I’m writing this for. You get it!” He thought a moment and summed up the book: “You take us on a psychological walking tour through the processes that will bring global change.” The processes are ways people connect, think together, work in groups, and apply their effort to the needs of humans and other living things.

Download or read book No Silver Bullets written by Daniel Im and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if I told you that you were only one step away from unlocking new levels of maturity and growth in your church? The myth of the silver bullet still exists because we desperately want it to. We all prefer quick fixes and bandage solutions to the long, hard, slow work that produces real change. So the moment we learn about a new ministry or strategy and see its effect in another church, we run to implement it in our own. Unfortunately, this impulse is usually met by opposition, skepticism, and ultimately, rejection. What if the solution isn't a new model or a complicated strategy, but a shift in perspective? What if you could keep your church's current vision, values, and model, and simply make a few micro-shifts...leading to macro-changes? This book explores five micro-shifts that have the potential to produce macro-changes in your church. As you read, you will discover how to integrate these micro-shifts into the life of your church, starting with the way you disciple. You will finish by developing a plan to structure, communicate, and evaluate these changes to ensure that they take root and pave the way for lasting change and kingdom impact.

Download or read book Chasing the Silver Bullet written by Kenneth P. Werrell and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airpower is credited with success in Afghanistan, Desert Storm, and Serbia, but in Vietnam all of America's aerial might could not defeat a vastly outnumbered Third World force on bicycles. With a panoramic sweep and shocking frankness unrivaled in the current literature, Ken Werrell, one of today's most experienced airpower historians, reveals the true extent of the technological evolution that fueled this transformation. Chasing the Silver Bullet traces in unprecedented detail the evolution of the Air Force's entire inventory since the Korean War, from the ill-fated F-105 fighter-bomber to the F-117 stealth fighter, but one of its chief contributions is its analysis of the strategies and doctrine that fashioned the hardware. Werrell's exhaustive research and sage analysis challenge the Air Force's mantra that precision-guided munitions delivered from long-range, stealthy aircraft are America's true war heroes. Desert Storm gave us the wrong impression about airpower technology and Werrell corrects that mistake with this landmark study, rendering superficial all other books about Desert Storm and current capabilities. Objective, even-handed, and unimpressed with the bells and whistles of new technology, Werrell understands how airpower works.

Download or read book Teaching Theology in a Technological Age written by Doru Costache and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iGeneration has learned to adapt rapidly to technological change. Tech-savvy students multi-task with consummate ease, accessing email on smart-phones, researching assignments on tablets, reading a book on Kindle, while drinking a flat white and listening to iTunes in the background. How does the tertiary educational curriculum meet the learning needs of students whose attention transitions rapidly between mediums and messages? The complexity and pace of modern technological change has left the theological educational sector gasping, as it struggles to devise pedagogically engaging online distance learning materials in traditional disciplines and teach units with significant relational and pastoral components. The technological benefits are vast, the instant availability of information unprecedented, and the opportunities to provide theological education to groups marginalised by the tyranny of distance and time enormous. How should the theological sector address these challenges and opportunities? Although the benefits are massive, the media is replete with stories of the casualties of technological change, including cyber-bullying, internet predators, the psychic damage from trolls, addiction to gaming, and issues of body image, among others. How should the theological sector, drawing upon its scriptural and teaching heritage, come to grips with the deficits spawned by the technological revolution? What is the theological, pastoral, social and pedagogic responsibility of theology teachers in nurturing this new generation? Teaching Theology in a Technological Age draws together in an inspiring volume a series of cutting-edge essays from Australian, New Zealand and South African scholars on the learning and teaching of theology in a digital age.

Book excerpt: Unquestioned educational practices must be re-examined. Now, more than ever, we need to breathe new life into school leadership to bring much-needed hope for renewal into our classrooms and schools. Our humanity’s future rests on the shoulders of our young people who deserve the most effective, empowered collective of teachers possible. Working and learning together with teachers across corridors, departments, and disciplines, school leaders can make this a reality. In this one-of-a-kind exploration into the practice of school leadership, Dr. Carolyn Cameron moves beyond leadership theory or prescriptive “how to be a leader” guidelines. She courageously addresses the gap between knowing and doing, and takes a deep dive into the space of being a school leader dedicated to the work of nurturing the authentic learning of students and their teachers. Cameron draws on her own lived experiences as a teacher, principal, and district principal. She adds to this personal journey the insights of colleagues, scholars, philosophers, and researchers, and takes inspiration from poets, writers, and students. This ground-breaking book weaves all of this together in a way that will cause the reader to think differently about teaching, learning, leading, and perhaps even life itself.

Download or read book Leadership Being Knowing Doing written by Stephen Tierney and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly frenetic world too many leaders have lost sight of the simple yet profound wisdom associated with practical action, otherwise known as phronesis. Phronesis is an ancient Greek word associated with good judgement and good character. At its core, it is about the ability to discern how best to act. Practical wisdom involves acting thoughtfully and virtuously and encouraging others to do the same. Stephen Tierney describes virtue, thought and action – which coalesce in effective leadership – as the Way of Being, Way of Knowing and Way of Doing. Each of the three Ways consist of a number of elements termed the Basics. The Ways of Being: Purpose & Introspection The Ways of Knowing: Specialism & Strategy The Ways of Doing: Implementation, Networking, Guardianship & Expertise Structuring the book around these eight Basics, readers will be challenged and supported to explore each of the Basics from a theoretical perspective and then provided with real world examples of how they were applied by Stephen in his own career in educational leadership. In writing Leadership: Being, Knowing, Doing, Stephen seeks to help leaders explore their own capabilities and potential. Leadership can be learnt. The three Ways with their constituent Basics represent a mirror to help leaders reflect upon and improve their practice. In turn, current leaders are called upon to accept the responsibility to grow the leaders of the future.
