Special Kids For Special Treatment: How Special Do You Need To Be To Find Yourself In A Special School? - PDF
نویسندگان: Helen Phtiaka A خلاصه: The decision to transfer a pupil from mainstream to special education can have a profound effect on the child's life. This text exposes the often arbitrary way in which such a decision is made. The author reveals that transferral may reflect factors such as teacher and school tolerance rather than pupil behaviour. Such findings question the whole transfer process and even the logic of separate schooling for pupils considered by some to be a problem, and a need is stressed for educational changes that will make school relevant to pupils' lives. A comparison is made of deviant pupils from a mainstream school with deviant pupils in a special unit and a historical account of the development of special education is provided.

Within You is the Power - PDF
نویسندگان: Henry Thomas Hamblin خلاصه: The object of this book is to help men and women bring their inward powers of mind and spirit into expression, wisely and in harmony with universal law; to build up character, and to find within themselves that wondrous Self, which is their real self, and which, when found, reveals to them that they are literally and truly sons and daughters of the Cosmos. This work does not offer vain promises of an easy life - for, if this were possible, it would be the greatest of all disasters. Rather, it endeavours to show how to become so strong that life looks almost easy by comparison (the life or fate does not necessarily change or become easier, but the individual alters and becomes stronger), yet it does show the reader how to avoid making his life more difficult than need be. Most people's lives would be less filled with trouble and suffering if they took life in the right spirit and acted in harmony with the Universal Process. It is hoped that this book may assist many to come into harmony with the rhythm of life and thus avoid much needless suffering: to find the Greater Self within, which discovery brings with it a realisation that within you is the power.

Do You Know What You Look Like?: Interpersonal Relationships In Education - PDF
نویسندگان: Theo Wubbels, Jack Levy خلاصه: Much of the work in this book has originated from an international project called "Education for Teachers". Educational researchers from Holland, USA, Australia and Israel look at an important element of teacher behaviour - that is the interpersonal actions which create and maintain a positive classroom atmosphere. The book uses systems theory and family therapy to analyze what happens in classrooms, looking at classes as "big families". It provides a simple way to collect feedback from participants in communication in education (students, teachers, principles, student-teacher supervisors). Thus for example, differences between students' perceptions and the teachers self-perception of the teacher communication style are are formed. This feedback can be used to improve teaching. The book reviews research on communication styles of teachers in secondary education with the help of the questionnaire on teacher interaction and includes implications for teacher programs.

When Someone Loves You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Susan Johnson خلاصه: It was common gossip that "Duff" D'Abernon, Marquis of Darley, had returned from Waterloo a changed man. Gone was the reckless youth and in his place was a sullen recluse more interested in tending his horses than attending balls. But now the Marquis was entering the game again, openly flirting with the beautiful, witty, and thoroughly disreputable Annabelle Foster. Annabelle's no stranger to scandal. The actress-playwright is rumoured to have had liaisons with any number of powerful men, with an illegitimate daughter to show for it. She won't chance heartache again, even for a man as tempting as Duff D'Abernon. What she offers instead is a compromise: a true friendship between equals. Each agrees to the terms. A bargain is struck. And an idyllic summer begins. But what starts as friendship soon blossoms into searing passion. And the only thing worse than risking their hearts is not risking them at all...
You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After the Breakup - PDF
You Never Give Me Your Money: The Beatles After the Breakup - PDF
نویسندگان: Peter Doggett خلاصه: The world stopped in 1970 when Paul McCartney announced that he was through with the Beatles. His statement not only marked the end of the band's remarkable career, but also seemed to signal the demise of an era of unprecedented optimism in social history. Though the Beatles' breakup was widely viewed as a cultural tragedy, one of the most fascinating phases of their story was just about to begin. Now, for the first time, You Never Give Me Your Money tells the behind-the-scenes story of the personal rivalries and legal feuds that have dominated the Beatles' lives since 1969. Journalist Peter Doggett charts the Shakespearean battles between Lennon and McCartney, the conflict in George Harrison's life between spirituality and fame, and the struggle with alcoholism that threatened to take Richard Starkey's life. In vivid detail, Doggett also describes the wild mismanagement of the Beatles' fortune staked largely in Apple Corps. You Never Give Me Your Money is a compelling human drama and an equally rich and absorbing story of the Beatles' creative and financial empire, set up to safeguard their interests but destined to control their lives. From tragedy to triumphant reunion, and chart success to courtroom battles, this meticulously researched work tells the previously untold story of a group and a legacy that will never be forgotten.

It's Not All in Your Head: How Worrying about Your Health Could Be Making You Sick--and What You Can Do about It - PDF
نویسندگان: Gordon J. G. Asmundson PhD, Steven Taylor Phd خلاصه: Where do you go for help when no one believes you're really sick? The doctors can’t explain your symptoms, but you know there’s something wrong because you can sense it in your body. Living with the specter of an unresolved health issue isn't just painful, it's isolating. The preoccupation and stress it causes can disrupt your career or interfere with personal relationships. If you continually experience symptoms of illness, or worry a lot about disease, you may be suffering from health anxiety--a condition that can produce physical effects of its own, including muscle tension, nausea, and a quickened heart rate. In this compassionate and empowering book, noted psychologists Gordon J. G. Asmundson and Steven Taylor provide simple and accurate self-tests designed to help you understand health anxiety and the role it might be playing in how you feel. Concrete examples and helpful exercises show you how to change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to the aches, pains, and anxiety you're experiencing. The authors also explain how to involve friends and family--and when to seek professional help--as you learn to stay well without worry. (20100301)
Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It - PDF
Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It - PDF
نویسندگان: Marshall Goldsmith خلاصه: Mojo is the moment when we do something that's purposeful, powerful, and positive and the rest of the world recognizes it. This book is about that moment--and how we can create it in our lives, maintain it, and recapture it when we need it. In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, #1 executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares the ways in which to get--and keep--our Mojo. Our professional and personal Mojo is impacted by four key factors: identity (who do you think you are?), achievement (what have you done lately?), reputation (who do other people think you are--and what have you've done lately?), and acceptance (what can you change--and when do you need to just "let it go"?). Goldsmith outlines the positive actions leaders must take, with their teams or themselves, to initiate winning streaks and keep them coming. Mojo is: that positive spirit--towards what we are doing--now--that starts from the inside--and radiates to the outside. Mojo is at its peak when we are experiencing both happiness and meaning in what we are doing and communicating this experience to the world around us. The Mojo Toolkit provides fourteen practical tools to help you achieve both happiness and meaning--not only in business, but in life. Praise for MOJO "Mojo moves us to define who we are in a new and illuminating way! Mojo is a guidebook for the leaders of the future. Thank you, Marshall!" -- Frances Hesselbein, Distinguished Chair of Leadership, U.S. Military Academy, West Point; winner, U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom; former CEO, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. "Marshall's Mojo provides wonderful perspectives and tools for each of us--to integrate and focus our lives--to contribute--and to serve. Thank you!" -- Alan Mulally, CEO, Ford; winner, Leader of the Future Award, Leader-to-Leader Institute "A mantra for self-realization and self-actualization. I regard the concept of Mojo as a milestone in our quest for meaning and evolution--and a beacon in our journey to our inner world." -- GM Rao, CEO, GMR; and Entrepreneur of the Year (India) "Another thought-provoking, practical, and insightful book by Marshall. I love the simplicity and wisdom in dealing with human behavior in business and, more importantly, in our personal lives." -- Eduardo Castro-Wright, Vice Chairman, Walmart Stores, Inc., the world's largest retailer "Those of us who have been lucky enough to spend time in a classroom with Marshall Goldsmith know what a positive influence his teaching can have. In Mojo, Marshall shares his scholarship more broadly and teaches us all how to turn inertia in our professional or personal lives into meaning and happiness. There is no more important lesson in business or in life!" -- Tom Glocer, CEO, Thomson Reuters "As soon as I started reading this book, I felt my Mojo rising. The next best thing to being coached by Marshall is reading his books. His writing always gets me revved up and focused on getting the most meaning and happiness out of my day. This book can elevate any reader's game." -- Mark Tercek, CEO, Nature Conservancy; former Managing Partner, Goldman Sachs "Marshall Goldsmith is one of a kind: a unique and brilliant combination of getting inside our minds about those problems which keep us awake at night-- and not only clarifying, but actually solving them! Lively and engaging. A damn good read, which every leader will not only enjoy, but profit from." -- Warren Bennis, bestselling author, Distinguished Professor at USC, and world authority on leadership "Marshall's books are very much like Marshall-- insightful, direct, focused, wise, clear, somewhat provocative, positive, lively, and energetic.

Mojo is like him-- a little crazy, yet very helpful!" -- Jonathan Klein, CEO, Getty Images; American Photo's "Most Important Person in Photography" "Marshall has a gift for identifying the essential ingredients of success-- for individuals and organizations. The insights in Mojo are certain to help people at all stages of their career tap their full potential and live more fulfilling lives. Another great book, Marshall!" -- John Hammergren, CEO, McKesson Corporation; winner, Warren Bennis Award for Leadership "Mojo is elusive, hard to define, at least as old as homo sapiens . . . and worth its weight in gold. This thoughtful and thought-provoking book should be read by anyone who has tasted Mojo and wants more." -- Kevin Kelly, CEO, Heidrick and Struggles, global search and advisory firm "Marshall helps leaders, aspiring leaders, and anyone who wants to enrich their personal and professional lives focus on actions that provide both meaning and happiness. Mojo is a great reminder that we're most likely to enjoy success in our careers and lives when we regularly take the time to be honest with ourselves." -- Chris Kubasik, President, Lockheed Martin; Chairman, Sandia Corporation "Marshall provides an array of case studies where he combines business challenges around navigating in the `new normal' with real tools-- tools for yourself and tools for you to help others that you care about. Thanks to Marshall for providing another wonderful read, with both short term and longer term ideas for personal growth." -- Teresa Ressel, CEO, UBS Securities LLC; former Chief Financial Officer, U.S. Treasury "Marshall clearly articulates the payoff -- for your company, your family, your community, and yourself-- of having more meaning and happiness in your life. And he provides a compelling and clear road map for getting you there."--Greg Brown, President and CEO, Motorola "One more great book by Marshall!

The greatest power in the workplace is the workforce and Marshall has figured out how to unlock that potential." -- David Ulrich, professor, University of Michigan; co-author of The Why of Work "Emerson once wrote, `What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us." Mojo focuses on that which lies within us, what we do with it, and how others perceive it resonating from us. A wonderful read!" -- Alan Hassenfeld, former Chairman, Executive Committee, Hasbro "Looking for that special sauce that produces extraordinary success? Mojo is it. Once again, Marshall's wisdom and generosity light up the pages." -- Keith Ferrazzi, bestselling author of Never Eat Alone and Who's Got Your Back "Marshall provides sound, practical advice and illustrates it through real world examples.

A great plane read!" -- George Borst, President and CEO, Toyota Financial Services "A great strategy book for life! Innovative ideas to help you find happiness and meaning." -- Vijay Govindarajan, professor, Tuck School of Business; Chief Innovation Consultant, GE; world authority on strategy "Mojo is a rich collection of insights into the human experience and practical techniques for improving the quality of our lives.

It's a superb primer for getting along in uncertain times, with much more fun and meaning along the way." -- David Allen, bestselling author of Getting Things Done and Making It All Work "Put your Mojo in gear!
