Are we just brain-controlled robots? How long can a man survive with an implanted chimpanzee heart? Is your life on cruise control? Does time actually exist? What percentage of human sickness is mind related? Does love exist if not expressed? How many heart beats do you have left?"How much do you think about the past? Do you look back at the road you have traveled? Do you ever consider what has happened to you and how you have been brought to where you are today? How has your past affected you? How has it affected others around you? Could you have reacted differently in some areas? Should you have acted differently? Should you have responded instead of reacting?Body Parts and the Invisible You is a collection of pieces, some of which were originally written for social media, but have been revised and re-written. Others are new. The subjects are as varied as life itself, covering common and not so common issues. They have been inspired by things I have read, by events that have taken place, or things people have said."

It's All About Love is the true story of a husband lovingly caring for his wife through her many years of suffering with Parkinson's disease. If you are a caregiver, you will quickly identify with the struggles and difficulties they face. If you are dealing with such issues, then this book will give you great encouragement.The book is honest, real, true to life and down to earth. If you are caregiving, expect to be, or simply want to learn more about it, this book is for you."All I want to do here is to relate how life is and how it has been for us. I plan to share the things that have occurred and affected us on our journey with Parkinson's disease. All illnesses are different, which create different scenarios. Caretaking is not an easy road to travel. In fact, it can be quite difficult at times and often uphill. It is a permanent learning experience.However, certain principles remain the same and interpersonal relationships are similar in these different scenarios. Those who are caregiving will see themselves reflected in our situation and will identify with some of the issues we have faced."What people are saying..."It's All About Love is a raw, honest, and breathtaking glimpse into the realities of life as a caregiver. John offers a fresh perspective through the lens of love .... If you are a caregiver or know someone who is, this book will be a healing balm to those with a hurting heart."Holly Guy, Coach and Writer at Wholeness Haven, VA, USA."If you have ever felt alone in your caregiving journey, you won't after reading John Murray's It's All About Love. Written from the heart, with honesty and authenticity, John describes the many facets of caring for a loved one with a progressive and debilitating illness...."Deborah Harrison, MSW (retired), Volunteer Support Group Facilitator for Parkinson's Society of British Columbia."John Murray has authored an insightful, sympathetic, and motivating guide to navigating a journey no one desires. If you are the child, parent, spouse, or friend of someone whose world has been interrupted by a life-altering condition, you will swiftly recognize that John's personal learnings are germane to your realities. Comfortingly relevant."Dr. Ron Unruh, Author and Artist.

Cette tude a abord ce probl me en menant une enqu te nationale aupr s des coles ind pendantes am ricaines afin d' valuer dans quelle mesure les possibilit s de d veloppement professionnel dans ces coles sont align es sur les r sultats des recherches sur les caract ristiques d'une formation professionnelle efficace des enseignants. Les r sultats ont indiqu qu'il existe un cart important entre les pratiques actuelles de d veloppement professionnel dans les coles ind pendantes am ricaines et les meilleures pratiques fond es sur la recherche pour un apprentissage professionnel efficace des enseignants.

La maggior parte degli insegnanti statunitensi ha accesso ai tipi di opportunit di apprendimento professionale efficaci necessari per migliorare la loro istruzione? Un recente studio nazionale di Linda Darling-Hammond della Stanford University ha trovato un grande divario tra le pratiche attuali e le migliori pratiche basate sulla ricerca per un apprendimento efficace degli insegnanti nelle scuole pubbliche degli Stati Uniti, ma le pratiche di sviluppo professionale nelle scuole indipendenti degli Stati Uniti non sono state esaminate. Questo studio ha affrontato questo problema conducendo un sondaggio nazionale delle scuole indipendenti degli Stati Uniti per valutare la misura in cui le opportunit di sviluppo professionale in queste scuole sono allineate ai risultati della ricerca sulle caratteristiche dell'apprendimento professionale efficace degli insegnanti. I risultati hanno indicato che esiste un grande divario tra le attuali pratiche di sviluppo professionale nelle scuole indipendenti degli Stati Uniti e le migliori pratiche basate sulla ricerca per un efficace apprendimento professionale degli insegnanti. Vengono discusse le potenziali ragioni di questo divario e vengono fornite raccomandazioni su come i dirigenti delle scuole indipendenti possono lavorare per avvicinare le loro scuole agli standard stabiliti per un efficace apprendimento professionale degli insegnanti.

Haben die meisten US-Lehrer Zugang zu den Arten von effektiven professionellen Lernm glichkeiten, die zur Verbesserung ihres Unterrichts erforderlich sind? Eine k rzlich durchgef hrte nationale Studie von Linda Darling-Hammond an der Stanford University fand eine gro e Kluft zwischen den aktuellen Praktiken und den forschungsbasierten Best Practices f r effektives Lehrerlernen an ffentlichen Schulen in den USA, aber die Praktiken der beruflichen Entwicklung an unabh ngigen Schulen in den USA wurden nicht untersucht.Diese Studie befasste sich mit diesem Problem, indem sie eine nationale Umfrage an unabh ngigen Schulen in den USA durchf hrte, um zu beurteilen, inwieweit die M glichkeiten der beruflichen Entwicklung an diesen Schulen mit den Forschungsergebnissen ber die Merkmale des effektiven beruflichen Lernens von Lehrern bereinstimmen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass eine gro e L cke zwischen den aktuellen Praktiken der beruflichen Weiterbildung an unabh ngigen Schulen in den USA und den forschungsbasierten Best Practices f r effektives berufliches Lernen von Lehrern besteht. M gliche Gr nde f r diese L cke werden diskutiert und es werden Empfehlungen gegeben, wie Leiter unabh ngiger Schulen daran arbeiten k nnen, ihre Schulen n her an die Standards heranzuf hren, die f r effektives professionelles Lernen von Lehrern festgelegt wurden.

Om wiono potencjalne przyczyny tej luki i przedstawiono zalecenia dotyczące tego, w jaki spos b liderzy niezależnych szk l mogą pracowac nad zbliżeniem swoich szk l do standard w ustalonych dla efektywnego uczenia się zawodowego nauczycieli.
