Spuren im Leben: Wirkungen individueller Arbeitsstile in Jugendhilfeeinrichtungen
by Stefanie GandtDas Erkenntnisinteresse der qualitativen Forschungsarbeit liegt im Praxisfeld der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe und fokussiert sich dort auf den Bereich der Hilfen zur Erziehung. Von Interesse sind die Spuren, die die individuelle Bearbeitung von Kernproblemen durch professionelle Akteur:innen im sonderpädagogischen Hort in den Biographien der Adressat:innen hinterlässt. Der multiperspektivischen Wirklichkeit wird im besonderen Rechnung getragen, in dem aus den drei Perspektiven Institution, Adressat:in und professionelle Akteur:innen auf die Wirkung der Hilfen zu Erziehung geblickt wird und die Ergebnisse mit Hilfe einer Mehrebenenanalyse miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Aus den Merkmalen wird ein Kontinuum entwickelt, welches den "charismatischen Arbeitsstil" beispielhaft skizziert.
Spurious Economy for All
by Claudio Pardo MolinaMany modern leaders want to install into the common sense of the masses that economics is bad because economics is synonymous with capitalism. And they do it through countless spurious examples that I will be giving throughout this book. I will use the term Spurious thinking of synonyms such as illegitimate, adulterated, counterfeit, imitated, fraudulent and false. And these spurious examples are given when they explain economic problems with a part of the whole theory because the only purpose is to discredit this social science. Because as mothers and grandmothers tell us as children "A half truth is also a lie."

Unfortunately, Reid manages to get himself captured by the Chinese and blackmailed into pursuing and assassinating a Japanese spy.Now Reid must enter the cloak-and-dagger world of espionage and intrigue, where everything and everyone is not who or what they appear to be. "...novella length adventure-cum-mystery stories based in 1930's China offer further evidence of Hubbard's pulp-action mastery." --Ellery Queen
Square Peg: My Story and What It Means for Raising Innovators, Visionaries, and Out-of-the-Box Thinkers
by Todd RoseIn the seventh grade, Todd Rose was suspended-not for the first time-for throwing six stink bombs at the blackboard, where his art teacher stood with his back to the class. At eighteen, he was a high school dropout, stocking shelves at a department store for $4.25 an hour. Today, Rose is a faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.Square Peg illuminates the struggles of millions of bright young children--and their frustrated parents and teachers--who are stuck in a one-size-fits-all school system that fails to approach the student as an individual. Rose shares his own incredible journey from troubled childhood to Harvard, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology along with advances in the field of education, to ultimately provide a roadmap for parents and teachers of kids who are the casualties of America's antiquated school system.With a distinguished blend of humor, humility, and practical advice for nurturing children who are a poor fit in conventional schools, Square Peg is a game-changing manifesto that provides groundbreaking insight into how we can get the most out of all the students in our classrooms, and why today's dropouts could be tomorrow's innovators.
Square Pegs and Round Holes: Alternative Approaches to Diverse College Student Development Theory
by Rosa M. Banda Fred A. Bonner Stella L. Smith Aretha F. Marbley Jamie Washington Amelia ParnellDeveloping alternative student development frameworks and models, this groundbreaking book provides student affairs practitioners, as well as faculty, with illuminating perspectives and viable approaches for understanding the development of today’s diverse student populations, and for building the foundation for their academic success and self-authorship. With the increasing number of adult working students, minoritized, multiracial, LGTBQ, and first-generation students, this book offers readers vital insights into –and ways to interrogate– existing practice, and develop relevant responses to the needs of these populations.Building on and critiquing the past frameworks, and integrating the insights of contemporary scholarship on student development, the contributors collectively put forward a robust theoretical and methodological foundation for this work, using Critical Race Theory as their central frame. CRT allows chapter authors to situate race related encounters at the center of their proposed alternative framework or model, and deconstruct and challenge commonly held assumptions about diverse college student development. In the tradition of CRT, each author offers an alternative model or framework that can be applied to the diverse population upon which the chapter is framed, prompting readers to address such questions as:• Who are our college students?• What set of experiences do our students bring to the higher education context? • What role have their environments/contexts (i.e. home, p-12, community, family, peer groups, mentors) played in our student’s lives? • What impact have intervening variables (i.e. race, oppression, power) hadon their experiences?• What strategies do they use to overcome developmental obstacles?• How do they define success, and how they know they have achieved it ?By laying bare the experiences of these diverse college students that inform this volume’s “alternative” frameworks this book contests that notion that they constitute square pegs that must fit into the round holes of traditional frameworks.
Squash Rackets (J. T. Hankinson on Sport)
by J. T. HankinsonOriginally published in 1949, in Squash Rackets, Mr Hankinson produced something that was outstanding. The written description was reduced to a minimum, and the teaching was built up round the photographs – and these were remarkable for the time. For the first time action photographs illustrated all the strokes in squash rackets, and the young player who acted as model did his work excellently. Not content with that, the author and his photographer, used their ingenuity in providing excellent photographs to illustrate the tactical side of the game. A model court was constructed, and, as players, two realistic puppets were used. The result was a series of photographs which not only explain the tactics, but also looked most convincing.The author’s previous titles had been very successful, and this attractive and ingenious book was a welcome addition to the series. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.
