Personal Effectiveness in Project Management:

Soft skills are hard. Most project managers are comfortable with the “hard” skills that their profession requires: planning, budgeting, procurement, quality, risk, execution, human resources, monitoring and control. They are typically less familiar with the human behaviors behind the hard skills... the “soft” human factors that are actually the key drivers of project success...and failure. In Personal Effectiveness in Project Management, project manager and professor Dr. Zachary A. Wong provides readers with the tools and techniques that not only help them improve their personal performance, but that of their project teams as well.World Rights Available

Flip Your ClassroomReach Every Student in Every Class Every Day

What if your homework was to watch your teacher’s lecture online—and do your actual homework in the classroom? That’s exactly what happens in “flipped classrooms,” where teachers post lectures online as homework so students can utilize class time to go over individual problems with the teacher’s help (rather than struggle at home). In Flip Your Classroom, two high school chemistry teachers provide a window into a flipped classroom that was driven by a simple question: “What is best for my students?” This innovative approach was initially identified to help students struggling because of missed classes or slower learning styles, but it has proven effective for many more. This book chronicles the authors’ journey from their first shaky steps at trying to “flip” their classrooms to their current “best practices so far.”

Grounded Designs for Online and Hybrid Learning:

Online and Hybrid Learning Design Fundamentals covers the basic tasks associated with the systematic design of online and hybrid learning environments. The contributors emphasize the importance of, and illustrate methods for, aligning learner assessments to learning objectives, and they present a framework for designing and sequencing meaningful e-learning interactions. This book discusses practical tools for preparing students for successful online learning, interprets laws, and provides examples of how online instruction can and should be universally designed for children with special needs.

Design Fundamentals

ISTE


It's difficult to design e-learning environments if you haven't seen or experienced one yourself. Even if you have taken or designed your own online or hybrid course, have you experienced different e-learning environments based on a variety of learning theories and instructional strategies? Online and Hybrid Learning Designs in Action illustrates how to apply eight instructional strategies based on cognitive information processing, inquiry, experiential, and game-based theories of learning and teaching to ground the design of your online and hybrid coursework.

The NSTA Reader’s Guide to The Next Generation Science Standards

Not since the 2011 release of A Framework for K-12 Science Education has a document held such promise and significance for the science education community as does the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The NGSS aims to better prepare students for the rigor of career and college-level scientific study by stressing the importance and integration of the three dimensions: science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. They will provide for a more integrated and cohesive approach to science instruction, leading to a more scientifically literate citizenry.

Translating the NGSS for Classroom Instruction

With the release of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), educators need a resource to help answer pressing questions about how the standards fit with curriculum, instruction, and assessments. Rodger W. Bybee has written Translating the NGSS for Classroom Instruction to provide essential guidance for everyone from teachers to school administrators. As practical as it is timely, this book includes an introduction to NGSS; examples of the standards translated to classroom instruction in elementary, middle, and high school; and assistance in adapting current units of instruction to align with the standards.

Educators concerned with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) initiatives, will find this book helps you both understand and implement STEM action plans. The title starts by putting STEM in context, as the early chapters outline the challenges facing STEM education, draw lessons from the Sputnik moment of the 1950s and 1960s, and contrast contemporary STEM with other education reforms and then explores appropriate roles for the federal government as well as states, districts, and individual schools. Finally, it offers several ideas to develop actual action plans for STEM. Throughout, the author emphasizes on both thinking and acting. That's why this title is a must-read for leaders at all levelsfor those educator responsible for STEM initiatives, college and university faculty who educate future STEM teachers, local administrators who make decisions about district and school programs, and teachers who represent STEM disciplines.

Given the differences in the rocks’ colors, sizes, shapes, and textures, there is much to learn about rocks! But that’s not all the curious child learns in this tale of discovery. Spenser’s fascination grows as he sorts and re-sorts his rock collection and asks questions about what he observes. For Spenser—as well as young readers—the experience is an engaging introduction to scientific procedures such as classification and research.

Successful Education

Powerful and important, this new paradigm in education proposes that educators take a leading role in the molding and mentoring of students’ creativity, especially in engineering. Today’s students are pushed through standards and common core with little attention to what allows for new inventions and great thinking—the latitude to be creative. Combined with years’ of experience in engineering and focused on STEM-related education needs, Successful Education: How to Educate Creative Engineers is the best resource for gaining competitive edge and moving education over the tipping point.

Dr. Tomasz Arciszewski and Successful Education are on a global mission to

promote educating creative engineers, who in addition to the traditional

engineering knowledge will be prepared to become, when desired, inventors

and leaders. He is doing it through his writings, seminars for instructors and

academic administrators, and through regular lectures for students on

Inventive Engineering, which he already taught on three continents.

“This terrific book brings together the intentionality of good design with the science of motivation to help leaders create better workplaces. The synergy is extraordinary.”

—Dan Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind

It’s no secret.

People are amazing. And cranky. And

courageous. And fearful. And unpredictable.

And funny. And stuck in a rut. And driven to

be great. Highly talented and deeply flawed.

Tough to manage, but easy to love.

What is a secret, though, is how leaders can

learn to inspire and transform these amazing

and complex people into productive, highly

engaged teams.

Join leadership expert Lisa Haneberg as

she presents a compelling model for creating

accountability and engagement–with grit and,

surprisingly, love at its heart. She reveals 11

practical and profound secrets to help you

hone your leadership practices to cultivate

excellence and build performance velocity in

your teams. Trade Paper Edition 6 x 9 | 180 pages | $16.95Publication Date: April 2014ISBN 13: 978-1-939247-04-9 Available for purchase through Amazon, KindleInternational Distribution: www.eurospanbookstore.com
