Book excerpt: Feedback is arguably the most critical and powerful aspect of teaching and learning. Yet, there remains a paradox: why is feedback so powerful and why is it so variable? It is this paradox which Visible Learning: Feedback aims to unravel and resolve. Combining research excellence, theory and vast teaching expertise, this book covers the principles and practicalities of feedback, including: the variability of feedback, the importance of surface, deep and transfer contexts, student to teacher feedback, peer to peer feedback, the power of within lesson feedback and manageable post-lesson feedback. With numerous case-studies, examples and engaging anecdotes woven throughout, the authors also shed light on what creates an effective feedback culture and provide the teaching and learning structures which give the best possible framework for feedback. Visible Learning: Feedback brings together two internationally known educators and merges Hattie’s world-famous research expertise with Clarke’s vast experience of classroom practice and application, making this book an essential resource for teachers in any setting, phase or country.

Download or read book The Visibility Factor Break Through Your Fears Stand In Your Own Power And Become The Authentic Leader You Were Meant To Be written by Susan M. Barber and published by Susan M. Barber. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, people have believed that working hard will be enough to get promoted. While generally true at the entry levels of an organization where performance is an important measure of success, once a more senior level of responsibility is reached, working hard is no longer enough. To continue the journey and move up the ladder, leaders need to create personal visibility for themselves and their teams. This was the situation that Susan M. Barber found herself in about ten years ago. She was known as someone who would do what it takes to get the job done. While successful, she eventually reached a point in her career where that was no longer adequate. A pivotal feedback conversation with a mentor was the catalyst that changed everything. She had to shift the long-held belief that working hard was sufficient to have career success and find a new way. Creating visibility wasn't something that was taught in any of the management classes she had taken as a new leader. She was on a path of discovery to learn what visibility meant in general, but more specifically how she could create it in an authentic way for herself. Barber created a process that helped her build visibility for herself and her team. As a coach now, when her clients are unable to see how they are hiding from their visibility, she uses that same process to help them unlock their potential and achieve success. She has broken down this process down into easy to follow steps. Working hard only takes you so far. The truth is you need the kind of visibility that allows people to see your value, capabilities and is authentic to who you are. The Visibility Factor is your guide to shape the visibility that you want for yourself and your career.

Download or read book Unlimited Visibility written by Stephanie Sorensen and published by DeVorss & Company. This book was released on with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 26-Lesson study book is based on The Science of Mind textbook by Ernest Holmes and designed for individual, class or group-study use. Its purpose is to complement Science of Mind metaphysical study by cultivating the students inner "I," taking them deeper into Spirit to reconnect with the One Source and grow anew with unlimited possibilities -- for "we must BE before we can do and have." The lessons are ideally suited for biweekly study over a year's time OR for each week of a six-month period. Each is as clear and understandable -- for novice and seasoned student alike -- as it is deep-reaching into the Oneness of God and self. Also included are relaxation techniques that prepare the reader for supportive meditations in each lesson.
Download or read book Visibility Interrupted written by Carly Thomsen and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A questioning of the belief in the power of LGBTQ visibility through the lives of queer women in the rural Midwest Today most LGBTQ rights supporters take for granted the virtue of being “out, loud, and proud.” Most also assume that it would be terrible to be LGBTQ in a rural place. By considering moments in which queerness and rurality come into contact, Visibility Interrupted argues that both positions are wrong. In the first monograph on LGBTQ women in the rural Midwest, Carly Thomsen deconstructs the image of the rural as a flat, homogenous, and anachronistic place where LGBTQ people necessarily suffer. And she suggests that visibility is not liberation and will not lead to liberation. Far from being an unambiguous good, argues Thomsen, visibility politics can, in fact, preclude collective action. They also advance metronormativity, postraciality, and capitalism. To make these interventions, Thomsen develops the theory of unbecoming: interrogating the relationship between that which we celebrate and that which we find disdainful—the past, the rural, politics—is crucial for developing alternative subjectivities and politics. Unbecoming precedes becoming. Drawing from critical race studies, disability studies, and queer Marxism, in addition to feminist and queer studies, the insights of this book will be useful to scholars theorizing issues far beyond sexuality and place and to social justice activists who want to move beyond visibility.
Download or read book Revolutionary Power written by Shalanda Baker and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2017, Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, completely upending the energy grid of the small island. The nearly year-long power outage that followed vividly shows how the new climate reality intersects with race and access to energy. The island is home to brown and black US citizens who lack the political power of those living in the continental US. As the world continues to warm and storms like Maria become more commonplace, it is critical that we rethink our current energy system to enable reliable, locally produced, and locally controlled energy without replicating the current structures of power and control. In Revolutionary Power, Shalanda Baker arms those made most vulnerable by our current energy system with the tools they need to remake the system in the service of their humanity. She argues that people of color, poor people, and indigenous people must engage in the creation of the new energy system in order to upend the unequal power dynamics of the current system. Revolutionary Power is a playbook for the energy transformation complete with a step-by-step analysis of the key energy policy areas that are ripe for intervention. Baker tells the stories of those who have been left behind in our current system and those who are working to be architects of a more just system. She draws from her experience as an energy-justice advocate, a lawyer, and a queer woman of color to inspire activists working to build our new energy system. Climate change will force us to rethink the way we generate and distribute energy and regulate the system. But how much are we willing to change the system? This unique moment in history provides an unprecedented opening for a deeper transformation of the energy system, and thus, an opportunity to transform society. Revolutionary Power shows us how.

The change for me came in the form of a new boss, who within minutes of meeting me, looked at me and said "I don't hear a lot about Ed Evarts in this organization."

Download or read book Becoming a Visible Man written by Jamison Green and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least two generations of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people have emerged since Becoming a Visible Man was first published in 2004, but the book remains a beloved resource for trans people and their allies. Since the first edition's publication, author Jamison Green's writings and advocacy among business and governmental organizations around the world have led to major changes in the fields of law, medicine, and social policy, and his (mostly invisible) work has had significant effects on trans people globally. This new edition captures the changes of the last two decades, while also imparting a message of self-acceptance and health. With profoundly personal and eminently practical threads, Green clarifies transgender experience for transgender people and their families, friends, and coworkers. Medical and mental health care providers, educators, business leaders, and advocates seeking information about transgender concerns can all gain from Green's integrative approach to the topic. This book candidly addresses emotional relationships that are affected by a transition, and brings refined integrity to the struggle to self-define, whether one undergoes a transition or chooses not to. Emphasizing the lives of transgender men—who are often overlooked—he elucidates the experience of masculinity in a way that is self-assured and inclusive of feminist values. Green's inspirational wisdom has informed and empowered thousands of readers. There is still no other book like Becoming a Visible Man in the transgender canon.

Download or read book Police Visibility written by Bryce Clayton Newell and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police Visibility presents empirically grounded research into how police officers experience and manage the information politics of surveillance and visibility generated by the introduction of body cameras into their daily routines and the increasingly common experience of being recorded by civilian bystanders. Newell elucidates how these activities intersect with privacy, free speech, and access to information law and argues that rather than being emancipatory systems of police oversight, body-worn cameras are an evolution in police image work and state surveillance expansion. Throughout the book, he catalogs how surveillance generates information, the control of which creates and facilitates power and potentially fuels state domination. The antidote, he argues, is robust information law and policy that puts the power to monitor and regulate the police squarely in the hands of citizens.
Download or read book The New Politics of Surveillance and Visibility written by Richard V. Ericson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the terrorist attacks of September 2001, surveillance has been put forward as the essential tool for the ?war on terror,? with new technologies and policies offering police and military operatives enhanced opportunities for monitoring suspect populations. The last few years have also seen the public?s consumer tastes become increasingly codified, with ?data mines? of demographic information such as postal codes and purchasing records. Additionally, surveillance has become a form of entertainment, with ?reality? shows becoming the dominant genre on network and cable television. In The New Politics of Surveillance and Visibility, editors Kevin D. Haggerty and Richard V. Ericson bring together leading experts to analyse how society is organized through surveillance systems, technologies, and practices. They demonstrate how the new political uses of surveillance make visible that which was previously unknown, blur the boundaries between public and private, rewrite the norms of privacy, create new forms of inclusion and exclusion, and alter processes of democratic accountability. This collection challenges conventional wisdom and advances new theoretical approaches through a series of studies of surveillance in policing, the military, commercial enterprises, mass media, and health sciences.
