Venture Girls: Raising Girls to be Tomorrow's Leaders
by Cristal GlangchaiFrom an engineer and entrepreneur, a conversation-changing parenting book about how to engage young women in science, technology, engineering, and math, filled with practical advice for both parents and educators.As the female CEO of a tech startup, Dr. Cristal Glangchai was outnumbered twenty to one. At Google, Twitter, and Facebook, women currently fill just ten to twenty percent of technical jobs. While career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math have increased dramatically in the past twenty years, the achievement gap between men and women has only grown wider.In VentureGirls, Glangchai offers a unique solution based on her own experience as an engineer and entrepreneur as well as the founder of the VentureLab, an academy of entrepreneurship and technology for girls. Practical, accessible, and filled with success stories, VentureGirls argues that a key part of raising strong, confident young women is giving them the tools of entrepreneurship to engage in STEM. Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting companies, Glangchai writes, it is a skillset and a way of thinking that is particularly useful in the fields of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Entrepreneurship involves identifying needs, brainstorming creative solutions, innovating, and taking calculated risks. In short, it’s about having a vision and making it a reality. The true value in learning and practicing entrepreneurship, Glangchai argues, lies in nurturing and growing an overall mindset—the ability to learn from failure and to work well with others to bring your ideas to life.Deeply informative, warm, and grounded in real-world experience, VentureGirls includes a plethora of activities and lessons that focus on strengthening kids’ ingenuity and resilience. VentureGirls is essential reading for anyone who wants to raise girls and young women who realize their strength, engage in the world, and feel empowered to make a positive impact.

Vera Vance: Comics Star (After-School Superstars #2)
by Claudia MillsThird grader Vera Vance has signed up for the comics camp after-school program, but her mother would much rather she focus on academics, athletics, music. . . anything but comics!Vera loves all things comic books, so she can't wait for the comics after-school class to start--even though her mother wonders whether it's educational enough. But Vera is determined to participate, and starts developing her own comic about Big Spoon and Little Spoon with the encouragement of her enthusiastic friend Nixie and instruction from teachers who are accomplished cartoonists themselves. As the weeks go by, the after-school teachers announce that for the final class, students will go on a field trip to a local comic-con--and they can even enter a page from their comics in a contest that will be judged there! Vera isn't surprised when her mother says she can't go. But maybe Big Spoon and Little Spoon can convince her mother to accept her passion. Vera Vance: Comics Star follows Nixie Ness: Cooking Star in the After-School Superstars chapter book series. Perfect for fans of Judy Moody, Ivy and Bean, and Clementine, the series is illustrated in black and white and each book includes a bonus activity that corresponds to the book's plot.A Junior Library Guild Selection!
Verbal Protocols in Literacy Research: Nature of Global Reading Development (Routledge Research in Educational Psychology #3)
by Susan E. IsraelThis volume offers an updated analysis of the methodology of reading and reading research since 1995, when the landmark book Verbal Protocols of Reading: The Nature of Constructively Responsive Reading by Michael Pressley and Peter Afflerbach was published. It offers a thorough cross-analysis of the conscious processes experienced during reading, the structure of reading comprehension, and its application to more current initiatives such as Common Core State Standards and Response to Intervention. It also provides a detailed analysis of Constructively Responsive Reading through relevant online self-report studies in reading and reading comprehension behavior. It is a fresh and comprehensive volume that speaks not only to reading researchers, but to literacy teachers at all levels.
Verbal Protocols of Reading: The Nature of Constructively Responsive Reading
by Peter Afflerbach Michael PressleyResearchers from a variety of disciplines have collected verbal protocols of reading as a window on conscious reading processes. Because such work has occurred in different disciplines, many who have conducted verbal protocol analyses have been unaware of the research of others. This volume brings together the existing literature from the various fields in which verbal protocols of reading have been generated. In so doing, the authors provide an organized catalog of all conscious verbal processes reported in studies to date -- the most complete analysis of conscious reading now available in the literature. When the results of all of the studies are considered, there is clear support for a number of models of reading comprehension including reader response theories, schema perspectives, executive processing models, and bottom-up approaches such as the one proposed by van Dijk and Kintsch. The summary of results also demonstrates that none of the existing models goes far enough. Thus, a new framework -- constructively responsive reading -- is described. This new model encompasses reader response, schematic and executive processing, and induction from word- and phrase-level comprehension to higher-order meaning. The important concept in this new model is that readers respond to bits and pieces of text as they are encountered, all as part of the overarching goal of constructing meaning from text. This volume also includes a critical review of the thinking aloud methodology as it has been used thus far. This examination suggests that it continues to be an immature methodology, and that much work is needed if a complete theory of conscious processing during reading is to be developed via verbal protocol analysis. Finally, after reviewing what has been accomplished to date, the authors provide extensive discussion of the work that remains to be done and the adequacy of the verbal protocol methodology for permitting telling conclusions about text processing.

Verbum Domini and the Complementarity of Exegesis and Theology (Catholic Theological Formation Series (CTF))
by Scott CarlSustained reflection on how Catholic theological formation is necessarily grounded in scriptural exegesis In Verbum Domini, his 2010 apostolic exhortation, Pope Benedict XVI challenged the church to keep theology firmly rooted in the study of Scripture. The essays collected here respond thoughtfully and concretely to that charge, together demonstrating that exegesis is essential to the theological task and to faith for scholars, students, and the broader Church. This is the inaugural volume of the Catholic Theological Formation series, published under the auspices of the Monsignor Jerome D. Quinn Institute of Biblical Studies at the Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity.ContributorsKelly AndersonScott CarlDenis Farkasfalvy, O.Cist.Pablo GadenzMary HealyMichael MageeFrancis MartinBrant PitreStephen Ryan, O.P.James Swetnam, S.J.Christian D.

Vergeben in Beratung und Therapie: Eine praxisnahe Einführung (essentials)
by Agostino Mazziotta Jonas ReinhardtIn zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen ist es nahezu unausweichlich, dass Menschen sich gegenseitig verletzen. In manchen Fällen gelingt es den Betroffenen jedoch nicht, diese Verletzungen zu verarbeiten, Rachefantasien und negative Gefühle auf den Verursacher ruhen zu lassen. Vergebung ist eine Möglichkeit, eigene Verletzungen zu bewältigen. Ärger, Hass oder Verbitterung werden dabei losgelassen, um eine freundlichere und mitfühlendere Haltung gegenüber einer verletzenden Person zu entwickeln. Diese veränderte Haltung kommt der vergebenden Person zugute, da sie etwa das Wohlbefinden und die Gesundheit verbessern kann. Im Rahmen einer Beratung oder Therapie können Menschen, die vergeben wollen, auf ihrem Weg unterstützt werden. Dieses Essential bietet eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Einführung in interpersonelle Vergebung und eine praxisnahe Anleitung für die beraterisch-therapeutische Begleitung von Vergebungsprozessen.
Verhaltensanomalien: Eine Regressionsanalyse von Paneldaten aus der Periode der Subprime-Krise (Wirtschaftswissenschaft und Ökonomische Bildung)
by Marius OleksyDie Kraft einer Wirtschaftskrise kann auf Generationen hinaus dem Wohlstand einer Gesellschaft schaden und ihre politische und soziale Ordnung verändern. Das Finanzverhalten der Menschen kann nicht nur individuelle Verluste verursachen sondern auch ganze Märkte ins Ungleichgewicht manövrieren. Die Standardökonomik erklärt das Finanzverhalten mit dem Prinzip der Nutzenmaximierung, die Verhaltensökonomik mit psychosozialen Einflüssen. Empirische Modelle, welche beide Aspekte vereinen, um das Maß der individuellen Rationalität der Individuen abzuschätzen, wurden selten untersucht. Marius Oleksy nutzt die Standard- und Verhaltensökonomik, um sich der Beantwortung der Frage zu widmen: Welche kritischen Anlässe führen zu individuellem Fehlverhalten von Aktienanlegerinnen und -anlegern und welchen Einfluss übt die finanzielle Allgemeinbildung aus? Er zeigt, dass eine Kombination aus Mangel an Finanzkompetenz, Bounded Rationality und einem geringen Maß der individuellen Rationalität das individuelle Fehlerhaften begünstigt.
Verhaltensorientierte Supervision für soziale und pädagogische Berufe: Einführung und Leitfaden (essentials)
by Frank Como-Zipfel Sarah LanigDie Praxis der Supervision für soziale und pädagogische Fachkräfte ist im deutschsprachigen Raum gekennzeichnet von einer Vielzahl von Settings, Handlungsfeldern und Methoden. Dementsprechend sind die Aufträge und Kompetenzanforderungen für die Supervisor*innen äußerst heterogen. Insbesondere für den Bereich der Fallsupervision erscheint es sinnvoll, evidenzbasierte Konzepte einzusetzen, die sich bereits in der praktischen Arbeit mit Klient*innen bewährt haben. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich daher auf die fundierte Perspektive der Verhaltensorientierung und stellt deren Herangehensweisen und Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis der Supervision für soziale und pädagogische Berufe dar.
