"I Hate Reading" - Justin M. Stygles - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

It can take a lifetime to eradicate a reader’s shame—or it can take one great teacher Shame-bound readers want someone to notice them . It’s true. But then what does a teacher do to help students? Justin Stygles found fresh answers in Gershen Kaufman’s seminal research on shame and applied it to his teaching. The results proved to him—and now us—that building relationships and taking deliberate actions to alleviate shame is crucial. With this remarkable book, Stygles shows us how to build an interpersonal bridge with students and make vulnerability okay. But make no mistake—disengaged readers need to feel competent before they fully buy in, and so the author packs the book with powerful instructional ideas. Learn to: - - Spot all the distress signals, including withdrawal, perfectionism, and compliance. - - Help students see that they are not permanently locked out of a reading life - - Use assessment instruments to note and celebrate incremental change - - Plan mini-units that develop skills in concert with engagement - - Design small group experiences that are free of levels and other shame-inducing labels - - Pump up independent reading with scaffolding and sociability - - Harness writing about reading to convince students of their uniqueness. - The shame factor is real. It’s time we meet it head on, with innovation and the best thinking from multiple research fields. I Hate Reading is the tool that does just that.

Understanding Organizations through Language - Laurie Cohen - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Organizations through Language - Laurie Cohen - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

`Makes fascinating reading and at the same time provides a good grounding in the study of the language of organizations, both for those who know little of the area and for those who are looking for a comprehensive overview of the field. Overall I would warmly recommend this book as an asset for students and teachers of organizational behaviour and for those with a general interest in the way in which language shapes our lives and work'' - Organization Studies `The book is extremely clear in its explanation of how language works.... The authors treat their readers as curious, intelligent and concerned to find new and powerful tools to come at the workings of organizations from a lateral and newly illuminating perspective'' - Virginia Valentine, Semiotic Solutions, London `The authors are able to apply their personal fascination with language to give students insights into organisational behaviour that significantly surpasses what is normally achieved by the tired old rituals of standard organizational behaviour texts and teaching'' - Tony Watson, Nottingham Trent University Taking issue with functional approaches to communication, Understanding Organizations through Language offers a viable alternative based on `webs of meaning''. Instead of viewing communication as a thing that can be unproblematically controlled and managed, the authors use semiology as a theoretical bedrock to develop a new metaphor for communication. Understanding Organizations through Language applies this approach to areas of interest, including: metaphor, story-telling, discourse, gender, leadership and electronic communication. Spanning the gap between highly theoretical organization studies texts and highly prescriptive communication texts, the book talks to the reader in a sophisticated yet approachable style. This style is complemented by a range of examples, activities and mini case studies. Also included are chapter summaries and further reading suggestions, making this a useful text for both academics and students. Advanced undergraduates and postgraduates will utilize this book for any course dealing with communication, particularly courses in HRM and organizational behaviour.

Interculturalism, Education and Inclusion - Jagdish S. Gundara - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

`Jagdish Gundara has made a very substantial contribution to the field with this work and it is to the rest of us to make connections with it and help in the gigantic tasks of finding solutions''- Tony Booth, Canterbury Christ Church University, British Journal of Educational Studies `This work deals with the question of how education can help in the task of developing cohesive civil societies by turning notions of singular identities into those of multiple ones, and by developing a shared and common value system and public culture. Jadgish S Gundara begins with a mini-biography of his own history, which he describes as an "intercultural apprenticeship", and in which the interweaving of different strands of identity is strikingly described. His first chapter then presents "Multicultural Britain". Here Jadgish S Gundara argues that the post-war immigrant presence has highlighted aspects of British historical diversity - Britain''s permanent multi-culturalism and addresses issues of group identity, culture and racism. Following chapters discuss basic issues in intercultural education; practicing intercultural education; post-school intercultural education; interculturalism in Europe; the role of the state; building a common and shared value system; Asian and global perspectives; and knowledge, social science and the curriculum. Jadgish S Gundara has a personal perspective on education issues influenced by his involvement for many years. This is an eloquent book'' - Race Relations `Jagdish S Gundara''s own early experiences have given him unique insights into both the problems and the possibilities of relationships between cultures. His book reflects a life dedicated to fostering positive intercultural relations and provides an analysis of the role of education in overcoming the barriers. All who are interested in building genuinely inclusive notions of education and citizenship will benefit from reading this impressive book'' - Geoff Whitty, Karl Mannheim Professor of Sociology of Education, University of London `This is a most interesting, accessible and useful book, which deserves to be read by a wide range of education practitioners from school, further education and not least the policy makers in these sectors'' - Stephen Bigger, Escalate Jagdish S Gundara raises a range of critical issues for educators as a consequence of historical and contemporary aspects of social diversity. Using a historical and social science framework, the author examines issues concerning national minorities and immigrant communities. He outlines a view of multicultural Britain, and shows how education at all levels needs to change to embrace an intercultural position. The book also deals with interculturalism in Europe and Asia, the role of state organizations, and the need to foster `communities of hope''. Based on the authors professional experience in schools, the community and further and higher education, the book assumes no detailed knowledge, and aims to make the concepts of intercultural education accessible to a wide audience.

"What a rarity to see a who′s who of thought leaders on any subject create original material for an anthology. It′s a real collegial tribute to Teresa A. Swartz and Dawn Iacobucci that they have been able to assemble such a treasure of original material—including some of the last from our late friend and colleague, Eric Langeard—on topics important to services marketing and management." —James Heskett, Harvard Business School "The Handbook of Services Marketing and Management provides an excellent introduction to the topics and issues that define service marketing today.

This new Handbook provides a wealth of stimulating ideas and guidelines for improving the quality and effectiveness of service offerings." —Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Northwestern University "Services, because of their intangibility, variability, and perishability, call for management and marketing skills of a high order. This new Handbook belongs in the working library of managers charged with managing and marketing the service offerings of hotels, restaurant chains, airlines, telecommunications companies, entertainment companies, professional services firms, and countless other services industries." —Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Northwestern University Despite the growth in services research and the dominance of services in the world economy, no one book has emerged as a comprehensive guide for researchers and professionals–until now!
