Download or read book World Class written by David James and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every school is different, but all schools face very similar challenges. Drawing on their combined teaching experience of over fifty years in both independent and state schools, educationalists David James and Ian Warwick have chosen ten questions that tackle the most difficult challenges that face schools today, and invited leading education experts to address them in stimulating and accessible essays, which are each under a thousand words. With contributions from John Hattie, David Blunkett, Doug Lemov, Anthony Seldon, Sandy Speicher, Tim Hawkes and many more, this insightful and engaging book features exclusive essays with some of the world’s most well-known and well-respected thinkers and speakers in education, business and politics, accompanied by thought-provoking introductions. The contributors provide new perspectives on some of the issues that occupy educationalists today; they challenge conventional wisdom and, above all, put forward practical, workable, evidence-based solutions that can transform teaching and learning. World Class is a powerful manifesto for change that nobody interested in education today can ignore.
Download or read book World Class Britain written by C. Paton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins by tracing the sea-change in British politics from the 1970s to the end of the twentieth century. The dominance of market ideology, the decline of social democracy and the 'marketization' of public policy are related to a widespread acceptance of globalization. Contemporary global capitalism is analyzed, not least as to its likely effect on countries such as Britain. New Labour's 'Third Way' is portrayed as reinforcing the apparent inevitability of globalization. In this environment, political and economic alternatives tend to be dismissed fatalistically. Politics is no longer about real choice. The second part of the book, as well as sketching an economic alternative, investigates how political theory and ethical concepts can help us today to re-establish the search for human freedom and a 'balanced' society. Such a vision can appeal to conservatives, liberals and socialists alike. It argues that a political coalition to further such ends is conceivable, if very difficult to organise or maintain. Finally, the 'postmodern' stance of eschewing ethical and political progress is criticized.

Download or read book World Class Universities written by Sharon Rider and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on the dimensions of the discourse of 'The World Class University', its alleged characteristics, and its policy expressions. It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of "world-class" and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory. The growing impact of global rankings and their strategic use in the restructuring of higher education systems to increase global competitiveness has led to a ‘reputation race’ and the emergence of the global discourse of world class universities. The discourse of world class universities has rapid uptake in East Asian countries, with China recently refining its strategy. This book provides insights into this process and its future development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think World Class is a must read for anyone wishing to move beyond limitations and to join the ranks of World Class Thinkers. Brent Baldwin shows us how our self-imposed limitations may be impairing opportunities in all areas of our life. Think World Class provides constructive challenges and the direction required to bust through and embrace a mental shift on our own terms, opening us to options and alternatives that we had never before considered. By applying critical thinking and constructive challenges to beliefs and perceptions that may be limiting our potential, we build from a position of strength rather than attempting the often-futile effort required for radical change. Shifting to expand options validates the core values and constructive beliefs that define our personality. Too often we try to implement radical change only to find that it is unsustainable as it moves us from the essence of who we are. From concept to an international audience of thousands, Brent Baldwin's blog www.ThinkWorldClass.com evolved in just a few short years to critical acclaim. This book is an extension of that blog and a response to the enthusiastic support it has received from a growing and appreciative audience. Think World Class is presented in a format that is practical and salient to innate issues and everyday concerns in all areas of our life Think World Class could be the most important book that you read this year.

Download or read book Built to Win written by Lawrence Susskind and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2009-05-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies that consistently negotiate more valuable agreements?in ways that protect key relationships?enjoy an important but often overlooked competitive advantage. Until now, most companies have sought to improve their negotiation outcomes by sending individuals to training workshops. But this new groundbreaking book, using real-world examples from leading companies, shows a more powerful and less expensive way to achieve this. In Built to Win, authors Susskind and Movius argue that negotiation must be a strategic core competency. Drawing on their decades of training and consulting work, as well as a robust theory of negotiation, the authors provide a step-by-step model for building organizational competence. They show why the approach of ?training and more training? is a weak strategy. The authors also describe the organizational barriers that so often plague even experienced negotiators, and recommend ways of overcoming them. Built to Win explains the crucial role that leaders must play in setting goals, aligning incentives, pinpointing metrics, and supporting learning platforms to promote long-term success. A final chapter provides practical ?how-to? tools to help you start your own organizational improvement process. This book will be invaluable to CEOs, senior-level managers, HR business leaders, human resource professionals, sales and purchasing managers, and others who negotiate regularly.
