If you are a new young adult librarian or an experienced librarian with little time to plan and execute programs for teens, this book is for you! For each month in the calendar year, two or three programs popular with teens are presented with instructions, sample flyers, letters, and checklists. From simple programs such as a candy raffle to more complex programs such as a mystery night, librarians can keep their teen calendar full of activities with a minimum of effort. Programs that tie into both school events and national events for teens are included as well as those that can be presented at an individual library. Suggestions for programs range from a poetry contest to a summer job program. Instructions for ongoing procedures for soliciting teens' opinions are provided: a monthly question board, candy raffle, starting and running a Teen Advisory Board and so on. Basic skills for all YA librarians are emphasized in each of the programs; these skills include booktalking, working with the schools, and marketing your programs within the library and to the community. By creating variations in each of the programs, young adult librarians will have a wealth of ideas in this book to keep their YA program calendar filled for years to come.

The Power of And

The Power of And

R. Edward Freeman; Bidhan L. Parmar; Kirsten Martin

Columbia University Press
2020
sidottu
The idea that business is only about the money doesn’t hold true in the twenty-first century, when companies around the world are giving up traditional distinctions in order to succeed. Yet our expectations for businesses remain under the sway of an outdated worldview that emphasizes profits for shareholders above all else.The Power of And offers a new narrative about the nature of business, revealing the focus on responsibility and ethics that unites today’s most influential ideas and companies. R. Edward Freeman, Kirsten E. Martin, and Bidhan L. Parmar detail an emerging business model built on five key concepts: prioritizing purpose as well as profits; creating value for stakeholders as well as shareholders; seeing business as embedded in society as well as markets; recognizing people’s full humanity as well as their economic interests; and integrating business and ethics into a more holistic model. Drawing on examples across companies, industries, and countries, they show that these values support persevering in hard times and prospering over the long term. Real-world success stories disprove the conventional wisdom that there are unavoidable trade-offs between acting ethically and succeeding financially. The Power of And presents a conceptual revolution about what it means for business to be responsible, providing a new story for us to tell in order to help all kinds of companies thrive.

Teaching with Literacy Programs

Teaching with Literacy Programs

Patricia A. Edwards; Kristen L. White; Laura J. Hopkins; Ann M. Castle

Harvard Educational Publishing Group
2023
nidottu
A step-by-step guide to developing equitable literacy instruction by adapting curriculum to support diverse learners. In Teaching with Literacy Programs, Patricia A. Edwards, Kristen L. White, Laura J. Hopkins, and Ann M. Castle present a model that allows educators to address educational inequity through the critical and adaptive use of existing literacy curriculum materials. In this accessible work, they advise educators on ways to combine common classroom materials, such as basal readers and core reading programs, with instructional practices that provide high-quality, responsive instruction to all students. Edwards, White, Hopkins, and Castle credit literacy instruction as a core part of overall educational equity, and they recognize the crucial role that educators play in translating materials into instruction that benefits all learners. Here they offer teacher education in support of this essential role, deftly guiding educators through a four-part development process, CARE, an acronym for cultivating critical consciousness, analyzing materials, reconstructing curricula, and evaluating instruction reflectively to advance equity. Built upon culturally relevant, sustaining, and antiracist pedagogy, CARE enables teachers to provide literacy instruction that meets the range of needs and performance levels in classrooms, supporting students in attaining academic achievement, cultural competence, and critical consciousness. The approach outlined in this work, which can be put into immediate practice, helps educators to provide literacy instruction that builds on students' multiple literacies and reduces educational inequity.

This book provides an overview of the research related to psychological assessment across South Africa. The thirty-six chapters provide a combination of psychometric theory and practical assessment applications in order to combine the currently disparate research that has been conducted locally in this field. Existing South African texts on psychological assessment are predominantly academic textbooks that explain psychometric theory and provide brief descriptions of a few testing instruments.Psychological Assessment in South Africa provides in-depth coverage of a range of areas within the broad field of psychological assessment, including research conducted with various psychological instruments. The chapters critically interrogate the current Eurocentric and Western cultural hegemonic practices that dominate the field of psychological assessment.The book therefore has the potential to function both as an academic text for graduate students, as well as a specialist resource for professionals, including psychologists, psychometrists, remedial teachers and human resource practitioners.

Something Must Be Done about Prince Edward County: A Family, a Virginia Town, a Civil Rights Battle

Something Must Be Done about Prince Edward County: A Family, a Virginia Town, a Civil Rights Battle

Kristen Green

HARPER PERENNIAL
2016

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERCombining hard-hitting investigative journalism and a sweeping family narrative, this provocative true story reveals a little-known chapter of American history: the period after the Brown v. Board of Education decision when one Virginia school system refused to integrate.In the wake of the Supreme Court's unanimous Brown v. Board of Education decision, Virginia's Prince Edward County refused to obey the law. Rather than desegregate, the county closed its public schools, locking and chaining the doors. The community's white leaders quickly established a private academy, commandeering supplies from the shuttered public schools to use in their all-white classrooms. Meanwhile, black parents had few options: keep their kids at home, move across county lines, or send them to live with relatives in other states. For five years, the schools remained closed.Kristen Green, a longtime newspaper reporter, grew up in Farmville and attended Prince Edward Academy, which did not admit black students until 1986. In her journey to uncover what happened in her hometown before she was born, Green tells the stories of families divided by the school closures and of 1,700 black children denied an education. As she peels back the layers of this haunting period in our nation's past, her own family's role--no less complex and painful--comes to light.At once gripping, enlightening, and deeply moving, Something Must Be Done About Prince Edward County is a dramatic chronicle that explores our troubled racial past and its reverberations today, and a timeless story about compassion, forgiveness, and the meaning of home.

Det har skrivits mycket om behovet av att reformera det svenska trygghetssystemet de senaste åren. Bakgrunden är bl.a. önskan att minska det som kommit att kallas utanförskap, dvs. att få arbetslösa och långtidssjukskrivna tillbaka på arbetsmarknaden. Syftet har också varit att långsiktigt öka antalet arbetade timmar i ekonomin för att därigenom ha bättre möjlighet att finansiera välfärden i framtiden. En aspekt som än så länge inte fått så mycket uppmärksamhet är deltidsförmånerna. Till skillnad från många andra länder kan man i Sverige få deltidsersättning från de flesta socialförsäkringar, a-kassa inräknad. Deltidsersättningar motiveras med att de stöttar arbetslinjen det är bättre att arbeta lite än att inte arbeta alls. Men de kan också leda till inlåsning om deltidsrelationen blir permanent. Resultatet kan med andra ord bli antingen fler eller färre timmar, beroende på vilken av effekterna som dominerar. Välfärd på deltid går igenom omfattningen av deltidsersättningar i de olika trygghetssystemen och presenterar vad forskningen vet om deltidsförmånernas påverkan på arbetsutbudet. Författarna diskuterar också kopplingar mellan frivilligt och ofrivilligt deltidsarbete. Kan det vara så att en stor efterfrågan på deltidstjänster, framför allt hos kvinnor med småbarn, bidrar till att delar av arbetsmarknaden anpassar sig till deltidsarbete, vilket i sin tur ger ofrivilligt deltidsarbete som följd? Boken avslutas med en uppmaning till politikerna att hitta en bättre balans mellan att uppmuntra till deltidsarbete i vissa livssituationer men inte i andra. Laura Hartman, fil.dr i nationalekonomi, är verksam vid Institutet för arbetsmarknadspolitisk utvärdering, IFAU, och extern forskningsledare på SNS. 7

Life can be lived selflessly and altruistically. The main character - Kirsten - tries to be useful, despite a personal tragedy, especially to the people around her. Her decisions are often surprising. She chooses the more difficult path of patience, which ultimately leads to the greater good for all. She gradually learns that if she forgoes immediate success for the sake of another person or a more convenient time, the outcome may be better than she ever hoped for. The story provokes contemplation on the questions of life's meaning. The work is primarily focused on the psychological depth of the characters and philosophical dialogues. Through her actions, Kirsten demonstrates that our minds can mature at any time if we expose them to the right life tests and situations.
