Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Winner of AERA Outstanding Book Award in 1998 'While she recognizes the necessity for school reform and the complexity of implementing it, Darling-Hammond remains optimistic that systemic changes to ensure access to a meaningful education for all children are possible. Her book is positive and hopeful and serves as a fascinating account of American education and its promise of 'the right to learn' for all children.' -Washington Post 'Darling-Hammond's central claim is well worth listening to. She argues that American students do so poorly by comparison with students in other industrialized countries not because we don't give them enough work, but because our teaching is less thoughtful, and because we are obsessed with bureaucratic processes rather than educational outcomes.' -New York Times Book Review One of the nation's most respected educators provides a vision of exceptional, learner-centered schools and describes the policies and practices that are needed to create these schools on a system-wide basis.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - How should a student's learning be measured and assessed Standardized tests identify the most knowledgeable child, whereas student portfolios can identify the knowledge level of each individual child. In The Power of Portfolios, Elizabeth A. Hebert offers a practical and imaginative approach for using portfolios with elementary level students and shows how the portfolio process can serve as a powerful motivational tool by encouraging students to assess their own work, set goals, and take responsibility for future learning. Throughout the book Hebert relates stories that illuminate the lessons learned -- by the students, teachers, and principal -- from a school that has used portfolios for more than a decade. Rather than prescribing what the portfolio should contain and how it should be assessed, she offers practical guidance, including classroom exercises, for making the portfolio experience a success for the students, the teachers, and the school as a whole.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Professional and academic writing is often seen as dull, dry, and as boring to write as it is to read. In The Work of Writing, Rankin challenges these assumptions by encouraging the professional writer to develop a strong writing voice and become fully engaged with the writing process, thus producing written work that is lively and engaging. This book will give academic practitioners and other professionals critical help in determining what to write, how to write it, and how to position their written works succesfully for the markets they wish to reach. Rather than a style manual, The Work of Writing focuses on the thinking, strategizing, and decision making that goes on in the heads of academic and professional writers. In doing so, it deals with the complex issues of purpose, audience, genre, and voice that all writers face. Drawing on collective experience of academic and professional readers as well as writers, Rankin offers a framework to help writers think about their writing in realistic, practical, and productive ways. The book offers specific examples and 'real-life' scenarios that are familiar to all academic writers--and by extension, to practicing professionals as well.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - A half-century of Wall Street history as seen through the lives of its most illustrious family This compelling new narrative from bestselling author John Rothchild tells the story of three generations of the legendary Davis family, who rank among the most successful investors in the history of the Street. With a novelist's wit and eye for telling detail, Rothchild chronicles the financial escapades of this eccentric, pioneering clan, providing a vivid portrait of fifty years of Wall Street history along the way. Rothchild shadows the Davis family's holdings through two lengthy bull markets, two savage and seven mild bear markets, one crash, and twenty-five corrections and, in the process, reveals the strategies behind the family's uncanny ability to consistently beat the markets. The Davis Dynasty begins in 1947, the year Shelby Davis quit his job as a state bureaucrat and, armed with $50,000 of his wife's money, took the plunge into stock investing. By the time he died in 1994, he had multiplied his wife's original stake 8,000 times! The story continues with his son, Shelby, who established one of the most successful funds of the past thirty years. The final characters in this enthralling family saga are grandsons Chris and Andrew. Both surrendered to the Davis family passion for investing and both went on to earn reputations as investment luminaries in their own right. John Rothchild (Miami Beach, FL) co-wrote the blockbusters One Up on Wall Street, Beating the Street, and Learn to Earn with Peter Lynch. He is the author of Survive and Profit in Ferocious Markets (Wiley: 0-471-34882-1), A Fool and His Money (Wiley: 0-471-25138-0), and Going for Broke. He has written for Harper's, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and other leading magazines and he has appeared on the Today Show, the Nightly Business Report, and CNBC.; Bestsellerautor John Rothchild erzählt hier die Geschichte dreier Generationen der legendären Davis Familie, die zu den erfolgreichsten Anlegern in der Geschichte der Wall Street zählt.

In der gängigen Literatur wird das Risiko nach statistischen und probabilistischen Methoden berechnet, wodurch der Eindruck entsteht, dass man das Risiko berechnen und damit steuern kann. Dieses Buch will zeigen, dass solche Annahmen zwar nicht gänzlich falsch sind, aber nur einen Teil der Wahrheit beinhalten. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, wie klar Aufgaben definiert sind und wie oft wir miteinander sprechen - nichts ist wirklich eindeutig. Autorin Helga Drummond erläutert, dass Vieles von dem, was wir als real bezeichnen, in Wirklichkeit mehrdeutig ist und sich verändert. Sie stützt sich dabei weniger auf die Statistik als vielmehr auf die Dynmaik des Wandels und verbindet das Risiko mit der Entscheidungsfindung im Unternehmen. Damit bietet sie eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung über das Wesen des Risikos und des Entscheidungsfindungsprozesses.…
