Impropreneurship: Wie Improtheater hilft, ein erfolgreicher Entrepreneur zu werden
by Gökşen Meine Florian SußnerIn diesem Buch erfahren Sie, wie Sie sich mithilfe des Improtheaters bereits im Vorfeld auf die Selbstständigkeit einstellen können und wie Sie die Methoden anschließend bei der Gründung sowie Führung eines Unternehmens aktiv nutzen können.Denn häufig mangelt es nicht an der Idee für die eigene Unternehmung, sondern an genau der Haltung, die man als Improspieler auf der Bühne an den Tag legt: Spaß an der Herausforderung, der Reiz des Unbekannten, das spielerische Hineinschlüpfen in fremde Rollen und das Vertrauen, dass das Ganze selbst bei Fehlern und Hindernissen weitergeht. Die großen Hürden auf dem Weg zum erfolgreichen Unternehmer können somit durch die Elemente des Improtheaters an Schrecken verlieren.Die Autoren bauen eine Brücke zwischen Improtheater und Gründung und gehen der Frage nach, was Improtheater eigentlich ist und was genau einen Entrepreneur an sich auszeichnet. Das Herzstück des Buches bilden 50 leicht verständliche und praxisorientierte Übungen aus dem Improvisationstheater.Dieses Buch richtet sich hierbei nicht nur an Entrepreneure, Selbständige, Unternehmer oder Existenzgründer, sondern auch an alle, die schon länger selbständig tätig sind und sich weiterentwickeln wollen oder neuen Input suchen, um ihren unternehmerischen Horizont zu erweitern.
Improbable Scholars: The Rebirth of a Great American School System and a Strategy For America's Schools
by David L. KirpNo school district can be all charismatic leaders and super-teachers. It can't start from scratch, and it can't fire all its teachers and principals when students do poorly. Great charter schools can only serve a tiny minority of students. Whether we like it or not, most of our youngsters will continue to be educated in mainstream public schools. The good news, as David L. Kirp reveals in Improbable Scholars, is that there's a sensible way to rebuild public education and close the achievement gap for all students. Indeed, this is precisely what's happening in a most unlikely place: Union City, New Jersey, a poor, crowded Latino community just across the Hudson from Manhattan. The school district - once one of the worst in the state - has ignored trendy reforms in favor of proven game-changers like quality early education, a word-soaked curriculum, and hands-on help for teachers. When beneficial new strategies have emerged, like using sophisticated data-crunching to generate pinpoint assessments to help individual students, they have been folded into the mix. The results demand that we take notice - from third grade through high school, Union City scores on the high-stakes state tests approximate the statewide average. In other words, these inner-city kids are achieving just as much as their suburban cousins in reading, writing, and math. What's even more impressive, nearly ninety percent of high school students are earning their diplomas and sixty percent of them are going to college. Top students are winning national science awards and full rides at Ivy League universities. These schools are not just good places for poor kids. They are good places for kids, period. Improbable Scholars offers a playbook - not a prayer book - for reform that will dramatically change our approach to reviving public education.
Imprisoned by History: Aspects of Historicized Life (Routledge Approaches to History)
by Martin L. DaviesImprisoned by History: Aspects of Historicized Life offers a controversial analysis, grounded both in philosophical argument and empirical evidence, of what history does in contemporary culture. It endorses and extends the argument that contemporary society is, in historical terms, already historicized, shaped by history – and thus history loses sight of the world, seeing it only as a reflection of its own self-image. By focusing on history as a way of thinking about the world, as a thought-style, this volume delivers a major, decisive, thought-provoking critique of a crucial aspect contemporary culture and the public sphere. By illustrating the ways in which history enforces socially coercive attitudes and forms of behaviour, Martin Davies argues that history is therefore in itself ideological and exists as an instrument of political power. Contending that this ideological function is the "normal" function of professional academic history, he repudiates entirely the conventional view that only biased or "bad" history is ideological. By finding history projecting onto the world and getting reflected back at it the exacting, history-focused thinking and behaviour on which the discipline and the subject rely, he concludes that history’s very "normality" and "objectivity" are inherently compromised and that history works only in terms of its own self-interest.

Imposter No More: Overcome Self-Doubt and Imposterism to Cultivate a Successful Career
by Jill, PhD StoddardA personal and professional guide to the latest research on imposterism and psychological flexibility, IMPOSTER NO MORE is the professional&’s handbook to combating &“impostor syndrome&” and overcoming self-doubt to achieve career success. Dr. Jill Stoddard is a recovered imposter. For years, she was convinced that the only reason she was accepted into a competitive grad school program was because her father knew the program director. Dr. Stoddard isn't alone in this: deep down, the majority of successful people question their professional legitimacy a good amount of the time. Why do we do this, and how can we stop? Although she's in recovery, Dr. Stoddard still struggles with feelings of imposterism. She works through them with psychological flexibility, the ability to be present with all thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and urges, fully and without defense, while making conscious, deliberate choices based on what deeply matters to a person. Essentially, we're not attempting to change the substance of the thoughts and feelings that naturally occur to us; instead, we change the way we relate to those thoughts and feelings, so we aren't caught up in constant battle to control them. Throughout Imposter No More, Dr. Stoddard lays the groundwork for understanding the imposter phenomenon; she outlines the traps professionals often fall into regarding their imposter feelings, and provides actionable steps for cultivating psychological flexibility to be able to choose bold career moves despite self-doubt and imposterism.

Importing Transnational Education: Capacity, Sustainability and Student Experience from the Host Country Perspective
by Christopher Hill Vangelis Tsiligiris William LawtonThis book explores the impacts of transnational education (TNE) from the perspectives of institutions and countries that primarily act as hosts. The authors describe and analyse TNE across a wide geographical area comprised of both established and emerging TNE host countries, from Europe to Southeast Asia to less-discussed countries such as Nepal and Uzbekistan. Complementing the 2018 volume Exporting Transnational Education: Institutional Practice, Policy and National Goals, the book is organised into three principal themes: the impacts of TNE on capacity building, the sustainability of such developments, and the impacts on the student experience in host countries. As TNE is a dynamic and fast-moving area of international higher education, this book will appeal to scholars and administrators of international and transnational education.

Implementing a National Assessment of Educational Achievement
by Thomas Kellaghan Vincent GreaneyImplementation of a National Assessment of Educational Achievement focuses on the practical tasks involved in running a large-scale national assessment program. It has four parts. Part I provides an overview of the tasks involved - how the essential activities of an assessment are organized and implemented, the personnel and resources that are required, and the tasks that follow the collection of data. In Part II, a methodology for selecting a sample of students that will be representative of students in the education system is presented. Principles underlying sampling are described, as well as step-by-step procedures that can be implemented in nearly any national assessment. An accompanying CD contains supporting data files. Part III describes procedures for cleaning and managing data collected in a national assessment, essential elements of a quality assurance process. It also describes how to export and import data, that is, make data available in a format that is appropriate for users of statistical software such as Access, SPSS, WesVar, and Excel. The primary objective of this section is to enable the national assessment team develop and implement a systematic set of procedures to help ensure that the assessment data are accurate and reliable. Following sampling, test administration, data entry, and cleaning, the next step is to prepare data for analysis. In Part IV, a series of important pre-analysis steps, including producing estimates, computing and using survey weights, and computing estimates are described. The section dealing with the computation of estimates describes how they and their sampling errors are computed from simple and complex samples. Finally, a range of special topics, including nonresponse and issues relating to over-and under-size schools, is addressed.
