Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As a former college professor and school administrator, I have always had a focus on teaching and learning as well as providing a safe school environment for all. Jerry Dale Jones’s book is a strategic mentor program that is proactive in preventing many of the difficult school situations that we read about daily” (Dr. Reginald Oxendine, president and CEO, Reading Solutions Inc., Pembroke, North Carolina). “This is an important work that offers insight in creating success for students within a school setting. The information and ideas presented will be invaluable to anyone involved in education seeking a new approach for a safe school environment” (Dr. Mickey Blackwell, former middle school principal and executive director of Elementary and Middle School Principals in West Virginia). Ensuring that no child is left behind: A Strategic mentoring program for middle and high school students is not a quick fix, but if used in a thoughtful manner, it has hope for creating a culture for safe schools as well as assisting all students to persist to graduation. This strategic mentoring program has a common sense approach that is backed by many years of practical and day-to-day activities that work. Throughout my career, I have heard the term at-risk used often. I now believe we are all at risk, depending on each day that we approach. It can be a miracle or a nightmare, depending on the many unforeseen encounters that occur daily in our life.
Download or read book Common Sense written by Lewis Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title indicates this is a book about common sense. Please do not assume that common sense means "doing what the crowd does". After all, sometime the "crowd" isn't that intelligent.As the term is usually applied, Common Sense is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, wisdom and insight. This implies a possession of essential information or the seeking of knowledge to be effectively applied to a given circumstance. To do this requires an understanding of people, objects, events, and situations. This also implies the willingness to apply intuition, perception, judgment, and action in keeping with the understanding of what is the optimal course of action. To have common sense requires control of one's emotional reactions (the "passions") so that the universal principle of reason prevails to determine one's choices. In short, "common sense", as we use the term on the Wisdom Path, is a disposition to find the truth coupled with an optimum judgment as to what actions should be taken.It is not always easy to have common sense. More often than not we exist in a state of bewilderment, unclear of what is "So", what needs to be done, and how to go about doing it. We often lack the ability to place ourselves correctly in the world by time, location, personal identity and through social relationships. This mental confusion is sometimes accompanied by disordered consciousness (the loss of linear thinking) and an inability to correctly recall previous events or learn new material. We often make poor choices because we lack the ability to focus our attention; are impaired in awareness; or have been provided with poor or flawed information.This book, "Common Sense: Tips, Tools, and Strategies for Making Effective Decisions", is Volume 3 in the series, "the Teachings of Lewis Harrison". It was written specifically to help you create a life of greater love, freedom, mental clarity, emotional balance, spiritual wholeness and happiness based on the making of wise, effective, efficient and productive choices.If you are ready to give up your struggles and unnecessary suffering then this book is a must read!Lewis Harrison, a pioneer in the personal development and human potential movement, and a senior teacher and mentor in the Wisdom Path Community has created a series of teachings to help you to magnify your potential on all levels.As the best elements of your life are magnified and you embrace them, this book and all the volumes in "The Teachings of Lewis Harrison" will be available to assist you in creating a practical order and harmony to the messy chaos that often passes for normal living. This is a book for the person or group of individuals who know they have an obstacle to transcend or overcome. Whether they call it a problem or an opportunity to learn something and grow from the experience is irrelevant. Whatever their attitude may be about the challenge it is nonetheless a challenge. If you are so spiritually focused or are so detached from the affairs of the world that nothing really seems to matter to you then this book can do nothing for you. If you are arrogant, a "know it all" or are committed to a life of struggle and suffering this book can offer you even less. The goal of this book is basic, and simple - to give you the skills necessary to addresses any problem, obstacle or challenge no matter how complex. Most problems can be solved with basic logic, rational thought, good advice, common sense and a respect for intuition and creativity. Intuition and creativity are essential here since there are some problems that do not respond to rational, and common sense thinking. These problems require a new or different type of thinking. This new type of thinking may take many forms including artistically based "design thinking". This form of thinking is less concerned with dissecting a problem and instead focuses on finding a workable solution.

Book excerpt: “He may have an MBA, but he’s got no common sense.” Assessments like that by a boss can stop a career dead in its tracks. Unfortunately, many believe that common sense is a trait you are either born with or you are not. This book dispels that myth. Through the pages of Common Sense: Get It, Use It, and Teach It in the Workplace readers will learn not only what common sense is, but how to acquire it and use it to enhance their careers, increase their confidence, and take better advantage of business opportunities. Common Sense explores the use—and non-use—of common sense in the workplace and the world around us. It shows how you can become a person of great wisdom and good judgment by simply learning about all the ways people stumble in the thought process. Author Ken Tanner, a seasoned manager, consultant, and former regional vice president for two major U.S. restaurant chains, shows readers how to make better decisions, how to spot and avoid fallacious thinking, how to better assess ambiguous situations, and how to become a mature thinker with a knack for making the right move at just the right time. Best of all, Common Sense shows how to teach this trait to others, especially subordinates and co-workers who can and will do nonsensical things unless you help them learn to reason through their decisions and actions quickly and confidently. The payoff? Your staff will make you look good, greasing the way for greater responsibility and opportunity. This book: Takes you through an understanding of the term "common sense"—what it means and what it doesn’t mean. Shows how fallacies create barriers to using common sense. Provides dozens of examples of the application (as well as rejection) of common sense in the business world and elsewhere. Shows how to teach common sense to others.

Download or read book Back to Common Sense written by Joe Dawidziak and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are times in today's educational world when it seems as if common sense has lost its place as a factor in critical decision making. This book strives to provide alternative, practical, and commonsense solutions to decision making in several traditional areas of education. Intended for professional leaders in education, including administrators and teachers, the chapters are cleverly divided into stories, theory, and practice. It is a myth that experience always equates to quality and that creating successful school change can start with anyone, anywhere. Research and best practice can work hand in hand with common sense to bridge the gap between today's educational world and the days of the one-room schoolhouse. Teachers and administrators interested in commonsense practice will also be left with a reminder of why they got into the game of education in the first place and why the field cannot go forward without them.

Download or read book The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.
