Hachette Books The Learning Tree
Book SynopsisThe Learning Tree offers a new understanding of learning problems. Rather than looking just at symptoms, this new approach describes how to find the missing developmental steps that cause these symptoms. The best solution to the problem comes from knowing what essential skills to strengthen. Using the metaphor of a tree, Dr. Stanley Greenspan explains that the roots represent how children take in the world through what they hear, see, smell, and touch. The trunk represents thinking skills through which children grow both academically and socially. From these, the branches,children''s basic abilities to read, write, do math, and organize their work,develop. Both parents and early learning professionals will especially welcome the sections on finding and solving learning problems early. With Dr. Greenspan''s characteristic wise optimism, this book raises the ceiling for all children who learn differently or with difficulty.Trade ReviewPublishers Weekly, 8/2/10 "Pre-eminent psychiatrist and early childhood expert Stanley Greenspan collaborated with his wife, Nancy Thorndike Greenspan, in their fourth book together, the culmination of many years of research...With their developmental approach, the Greenspans focus on practical ways to enhance 'thinking-based' rather than 'memory-based' learning. Several chapters contributed by Richard Lodish, an educator at the Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., demonstrate how Greenspan's methods are used in the classroom and will be of particular interest to teachers." AssociatedContent.com, 8/26/10"This book I would highly recommend to ALL caregivers...If you want to help a youngster who has a frustrating learning deficit, The Learning Tree can help diagnose the problem and then give you guidelines to get that youngster back on track." Bookviews blog, September 2010"For parents that have children exhibiting learning problems, I recommend The Learning Tree...This book will provide peace of mind along with a game plan to address problems." Blogcritics.org, 9/2/10"Since we as parents are the first educators of our children, this book can be an invaluable resource for us...The book provides excellent tools and information for teachers, too...The writers provide an eloquent explanation of learning and understanding...This is a book of immense value to all educators." Infodad.com, 9/9/10 "The Greenspans' approach to improving the learning skills of learning-disabled children is laid out in the form of a tree: trunk, roots and branches. Not surprisingly, it is a very well-conceived conceptual framework...Give[s] specific examples of ways to build basic and advanced thinking, then show[s] how the thinking levels work in a school setting...Despite its overt focus on children with learning disabilities, its structural elements really apply to all children as they grow, learn and develop." Treasure Valley Family Magazine, October 2010"Appropriate for caregivers of children of all grade levels...[Greenspan] offers hope, and supplies concrete solutions so that every child can flourish in school and in life." About.com"[The] text is upbeat, easy to read, and full of confidence in children and parents."

Polity Press On Education Conversations with Riccardo Mazzeo
Book Synopsis* This is an engaging new book from one of the most influential and widely read sociologists in the world today. * Bauman, in conversation with Riccardo Mazzeo, reflects on nature and role of education and on the predicament of young people in our contemporary, liquid-modern world.Trade Review"Bauman's knack for placing things in context and accounting for that uneasy feeling you get from this or that current development makes [On Education] stimulating." Inside Higher Ed "When graduates can't find jobs, the bargain of commercialised education – take out enormous student loans that will be repaid by your supposedly high salary later on – breaks down. So worries the sociologist Bauman, in a perky and colourful written interview with the Italian publisher Mazzeo. Even so, Bauman remains hopeful about the 'openness' of mind ideally encouraged by schooling – indeed, as he points out sharply, it is not 'practical' otherwise."

AltaMira Press In Principle In Practice
Book SynopsisThe science museum field has made tremendous advances in understanding museum learning, but little has been done to consolidate and synethesize these findings to encourage widespread improvements in practice. By clearly presenting the most current knowledge of museum learning, In Principle, In Practice aims to promote effective programs and exhibitions, identify promising approaches for future research, and develop strategies for implementing and sustaining connections between research and practice in the museum community.Trade ReviewThis anthology is the first in a series of Learning Innovations. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. -- K. Marantz, emeritus, Ohio State University * CHOICE *This will be a useful book for people in the field, especially those new to the profession who want to understand where the field stands today on how people learn in a museum setting. Those with more of a research bent will find a number of the articles enlightening. Practitioners will find structures that help them improve their practice. And those who wish to think deeply about the meaning and purpose of museums will be inspired. -- Dennis Schatz, Vice President for Education, Pacific Science CenterIn Principle, In Practice should quickly become one of the primary sources of information and guidance for any museum seeking to optimize its role as a learning institution. This compilation of knowledge gained from years of studying learning in museums, combined with practical advice for fostering learning through museum experiences, will be a valuable tool for museum professionals for years to come. -- Dan Freas, Museum Experience Director, Conner PrairieThis book is a provocative inquiry into what learning means in a museum environment, and academics and practitioners alike will find lasting value in this broad, deep, and rich exploration of the museum experience. Because learning lies at the heart of a museum’s public value, In Principle, In Practice is essential reading for all those who care about the meaning and value of museums as social institutions. -- Robert R. Janes, Editor-in-Chief, Museum Management and CuratorshipIn Principle, In Practice offers a vital progress report on museum-based learning research to the international community of museum professionals. The essays, taken together, show that the learning research field is in media res, but has made enormous strides over the past decade. -- Carol A. Parssinen, Senior Vice President, Center for Innovation, The Franklin Institute Science MuseumThe contents of the book are worthy... * The Tamale, Spring 2008 *This collection of articles is packed with useful information, examples of exciting museum practice and some research reports that are, at times, pretty heavy going....It is a worthy addition to the Top Ten Museum Education Books started by Christine Castle on the Ham-Ed blog. -- May/June 2008 * Muse *The articles share visitor and learning research results, innovative learning and community collaboration case studies, ideas for more meaningfully engaging larger audiences, and visions of what can be studied and designed for future museum experiences....In Principle, In Practice provides an important resource for museum education professionals. * AASLH History News, Summer 2008 *This holistic approach provides a more balanced approach to education that encompasses not only learning, but critical evauation of the methodology of teaching and the contructions of knowledge. Museum educators, especiallt curators, would benefit from more critical analysis of the methods they use to construct knowledge and communicate information to visitors. This in itself might deliver more appropriate learning outcomes for visitors in the next decade..." * ReCollections, 4/21/2010 *Table of Contents1 Foreword 2 Preface 3 Part I: How People Learn in Museums 4 1.

University Press of America Courageous Conversations
Book SynopsisCourageous Conversations is designed to assist with the complexities of pastoral supervision in a variety of settings, such as local congregations, seminary programs of field education, clinical pastoral education, clinical training of spiritual directors and certified pastoral counselors, and more. The preparation and training of supervisors is diverse and often learned through on-the-job-training. This book draws on a wide variety of experienced supervisors in clinical pastoral education to seminary faculty members. The topics covered in the book address very pragmatic aspects of supervision, for pastors in local congregations who supervise seminary interns to well-developed theoretical aspects of supervisory education that are utilized in clinical pastoral education. Readers of this book will benefit from theoretical viewpoints as well as practical hands-on application to their ministry. Special attention is given to the task, purpose, and methods of pastoral supervision, and helpfuTrade ReviewThis diverse collection of substantive essays advocates for pastoral or spiritual supervision that is transformational, intersubjective, mutually vulnerable, improvisational, consistently empathic, trustworthy, and attentive to the particular and universal in every context. William DeLong has edited a much-needed update on the practice of supervision for ministry in settings that are increasingly pluralistic and influenced by postmodern perspectives. -- Herbert Anderson, Ph.D, editor of Reflective Practice: Formation and Supervision in Ministry and research professor in practical theology at Pacific LutThis book presents its editor's efforts to put together with his colleagues conversations capable of shaping pastoral supervision for the next 15 years. It is an excellent update for anyone doing supervision, particularly in the implications of postmodern thinking in their practice. Each contributor presents from a solid theoretical basis, a wealth of clinical experience, and a willingness to put their ideas on the line. Forthright discussions of sexuality, ethics, mutual self-disclosure, empathic participation in one another's lives, and spiritual experience approach the courage suggested by its title. -- David Steere, Ph.D., author of The Supervision of Pastoral Care, Spiritual Presence in Psychotherapy and Rediscovering ConfessionTable of ContentsChapter 1 Foreword Chapter 2 Preface Chapter 3 Acknowledgments Chapter 4 Chapter 1: Focusing Upon Skill Development Chapter 5 Chapter 2: Reflecting Theologically Chapter 6 Chapter 3: Pastoral Supervision and Field Education Chapter 7 Chapter 4: A Theological Anthropology for Tranformational Education Chapter 8 Chapter 5: Teología de conjunto: Not Just for Latinas/os Anymore Chapter 9 Chapter 6: Postmodern Theologies and Supervision Chapter 10 Chapter 7: From Object to Subject Chapter 11 Chapter 8: Power and the Supervisory Relationship Chapter 12 Chapter 9: Looking Toward the Future of Pastoral Supervision Chapter 13 Chapter 10: Supervising in a Modern and Postmodern Age Chapter 14 Chapter 11: Reconsidering Supervision as an Ethical Endeavor Chapter 15 Chapter 12: Sexuality in Clinical Supervision Chapter 16 Chapter 13: Expanding Dimensions of Spiritual Direction and Development Chapter 17 Chapter 14: CPE Supervision: Past and Present Chapter 18 Chapter 15: Pastoral Counseling Supervision: Self, Psyche, and Soul Chapter 19 Chapter 16: Supervising the Spiritual Self Chapter 20 Index Chapter 21 Contributors
