Research on help seeking has primarily focused on classrooms
interactions that consist primarily of students asking teachers and
peers for help. The rapid emergence of information and
communications technologies and interactive learning environments,
however, requires expanding the help-seeking landscape and
rethinking such critical theoretical issues as the distinction
between help seeking and information search, and whether help
seeking is inevitably a social self-regulated learning strategy.
There is also the need to focus attention on help seeking in the
broader learning enterprise, which includes its role in the
collaboration process, how to support adaptive rather than the
over- or under-reliance on help seeking, as well as to scaffold
help-seeking skills that render the process more efficient and
useful. To examine these and other issues, the present volume
assembled contributions from internationally recognized scholars
and researchers to capture the state of the art and to anticipate
future developments in this expanding field. Its relevance extends
to anyone attempting to understand the role of technology in
education, including educational researchers and teachers who do
now or who expect to use technology to support instruction, and the
rapidly expanding numbers of those developing new technological
applications.
The Job Search Cookbook provides career seekers, and their career
coaches with a trackable system to guide them through the job
search process. This unique job search management system is based
on the principles of assisting individuals to move from
step-to-step within a normal job hiring cycle. Using a job search
board provides a visual representation of the job search process
and assists individuals in monitoring their progress each step of
the way. The main benefit of this book is that it provides the job
seeker a methodology and framework for their job search. By
utilizing a social network audit, the Cookbook presents a means for
job seekers to tap into the hidden job market where over 80% of the
jobs are found. The online job search tracking tool
(www.snagpad.com) will enable the reader to visually monitor his or
her progress, and if they are working with a career coach a means
to track progress, identify any corrective actions, and get the
most out of limited face-to-face time. Ultimately, the cook- book
is a recipe for job search success.
Meet fascinating women in STE@M, follow their "plays" and create
your Dream Career. This book is real-life story-telling at its
best. Sharing their career-changing challenges, discoveries,
actions and results, the young women of STE@M prove that using
knowledge of software or technology, engineering, art or math is
required in almost all fields the new workplace demands. Set aside
endless graphs and tedious analytics. Instead, reflect upon the
inspirational words and imagery painted by powerful young women
whose experiences foretell success at a time of great workplace
change. Our story-tellers, successful pioneers in the new world of
work, have written this beautifully illustrated book to - and for -
you in your high school years. Their powerful words will inspire
the courageous, offer staying power to the ambitious and daring to
those who have been held-back by misplaced fear the STE@M word
sometime evokes. For example, you'll meet a young woman from a poor
family whose parents did not encourage thoughts of college and
whose greatest ambition throughout much of her high school years
was to paint pictures on a pier in San Francisco. A teacher
inspired her, mentored her and encouraged her to explore the
connections between science, art and life. She began to see other
options for her life. Unfortunately, life changing challenges in
her family interfered with her new-found ambitions. So, how did
this young woman overcome life's trials and find a new direction
filled with adventure, travel and exciting work? How did she become
one of our real-life models for today's teens? How might she
inspire you? Well...for those answers, you will have to read the
rest of her story. It's in the book While the book is intended to
inspire teens who are looking at preparing for a future unlike the
past; it is an equally important reading experience for teachers,
parents and friends who are travelers sharing the road to the
future.
Entrepreneurship has attracted global interest for its potential to
catalyze economic and social development. Research suggesting that
certain entrepreneurial mindsets and skills can be learned has
given rise to the field of entrepreneurship education and training
(EET). Despite the growth of EET, global knowledge about these
programs and their impact remains thin. In response, this study
surveys the available literature and program evaluations to propose
a Conceptual Framework for understanding the EET program landscape.
The study finds that EET today consists of a heterogeneous mix of
programs that can be broken into two groups: entrepreneurship
education and entrepreneurship training. These programs target a
range of participants: secondary and post-secondary education
students, as well as potential and practicing entrepreneurs. The
outcomes measured by program evaluations are equally diverse but
generally fall under the domains of entrepreneurial mindsets and
capabilities, entrepreneurial status, and entrepreneurial
performance. The dimensions of EET programs vary according the
particular target group. Programs targeting secondary education
students focus on the development of foundational skills linked to
entrepreneurship, while post-secondary education programs emphasize
skills related to strategic business planning. Programs targeting
potential entrepreneurs generally are embedded within broader
support programs and tend to target vulnerable populations for whom
employment alternatives may be limited. While programs serving
practicing entrepreneurs focus on strengthening entrepreneurs
knowledge, skills and business practices, which while unlikely to
transform an enterprise in the near term, may accrue benefits to
entrepreneurs over time. The study also offers implications for
policy and program implementation, emphasizing the importance of
clarity about target groups and desired outcomes when making
program choices, and sound understanding of extent to which
publicly-supported programs offer a broader public good, and
compare favorably to policy alternatives for supporting the
targeted individuals as well as the overall economic and social
objectives."
PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: THE SECRETS TO... should be required
reading for school counseling interns, new and experienced
counselors alike. Full of practical examples of real life
challengers that school counselors face every day. A great resource
for new ideas and strategies, as well as insights into the
professional jargon used in school settings. .... Dr. Susan Moor,
Adjunct Assistant Professor, Graduate School of Counseling Programs
at Manhattan College and Hofstra University. It moves away from the
theoretical graduate classroom approach for middle and senior high
schools students to the practical, every day implementation of
services for students. ....Bob Emery, Director of Guidance, East
Rockaway High School, L I, NY BOOK REVIEW: by Lisa Kende (
Corporate Media Specialist) THE SECRETS TO BEING A GREAT SCHOOL
COUNSELOR by Dr. Richard O'Connell is truly the quintessential
guide for the professional counselor, graduate school counselor and
intern. Don't be fooled by the title which may seem pretentious,
rather it humbly claims merely to improve counselor performance
through a school community effort. What the author does is to
re-invent, clarify, humanize and add life to the difficult task of
counseling underachieving and superior students. The book is a
quick read further enhanced by the many anecdotes that provide
real-life applications for the many insights so useful to
counselors. The author's approach is an artful combination of
diplomacy, humor and decades of experience in the real world of
guiding young people to achieve their full potential. It is a
step-by-step guide for how counselors, administrators, teachers and
parents can pull together for the benefit of the student. Dr.
O'Connell has effectively identified the rough spots (that
typically have to do with ego or lack of experience) that can
easily derail what should be a harmonious team effort within the
school system. The many awards earned for superior guidance skills
are reflected in the author's understanding of human nature and
willingness to adjust, fine tune or even reverse his approach when
warranted. As a public relations professional specializing in
training corporate chief executive officers to deal with
confrontational media interviews, I recognized many of the same
techniques in Dr. O'Connell's approach to preparing students for
college. Clearly, Dr. O'Connell's approach leaves no student behind
from the most gifted to learning disabled. His anecdotes about
learning disabled and minority students and his work helping them
to mainstream into the school community demonstrate that every
student has something important to contribute to the school. THE
SECRETS TO... is a compendium of strategies, approaches,
organizational skills, time savers, motivational techniques, safe
guards and interpersonal skills, etc. which help the counselor to
become effective and valued, while at the same time avoiding costly
professional and personal mistakes. Using diplomacy, humor, and his
decades of experience, Dr. O'Connell gives step-by-step
instructions on how counselors, administrators, teachers and
parents can all pull together to motivate students. Dr. O'Connell
deals with the mechanics of guidance, from college planning to
government regulations, to helping learning disabled students.
Opening up dialogues and listening to what is being said is key,
suggests Dr. O'Connell. Packed with hands-on information and
techniques, he stresses that for parents and school personnel to be
effective, they must impact the entire school community. His work
is a real contribution to a department much criticized.

Education, Shelter Island, NY. It's a great book I never read
anything like it, a significant tool in affecting change in the
school community. ....Dr. John Kehoe, Assistant Superintendent of

Values are of critical importance in the practice of career
counseling as evidenced by the pervasive use of values surveys and
values card sorts by career counselors, vocational and counseling
psychologists, career development facilitators, career coaches, and
other career development practitioners. The purpose of this book is
to provide practitioners, faculty, and researchers in vocational
psychology and career counseling with a foundational tool to guide
their work. This book focuses on the critical role that values play
in a person's career, addressing values from a broad array of
perspectives, including cultural and international perspectives, to
illuminate the place of values within vocational psychology and
career development. The book will be directed primarily toward
psychology and counselor education faculty who teach advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses in vocational psychology, career
development, career assessment, and career counseling. Although
there is a range of readership (undergraduate and graduate students
as well as professionals already in the field), the authors
understand the differences in reading level and agree to write for
all levels.
This open access volume critically reviews a diverse body of
scholarship and practice that informs the conceptualization,
curriculum, teaching and measurement of life skills in education
settings around the world. It discusses life skills as they are
implemented in schools and non-formal education, providing both
qualitative and quantitative evidence of when, with whom, and how
life skills do or do not impact young women's and men's lives in
various contexts. Specifically, it examines the nature and
importance of life skills, and how they are taught. It looks at the
synergies and differences between life skills educational
programmes and the way in which they promote social and emotional
learning, vocational/employment education, and health and sexuality
education. Finally, it explores how life skills may be better
incorporated into education and how such education can address
structures and relations of power to help youth achieve desired
future outcomes, and goals set out in the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). Life skills education has gained considerable
attention by education policymakers, researchers and educators as
being the sine qua non for later achievements in life. It is nearly
ubiquitous in global and national education policies, including the
SDGs, because life skills are regarded as essential for a diverse
set of purposes: reducing poverty, achieving gender equality,
promoting economic growth, addressing climate change, fostering
peace and global citizenship, and creating sustainable and healthy
communities. Yet, to achieve these broad goals, questions persist
as to which life skills are important, who needs to learn them, how
they can be taught, and how they are best measured. This book
addresses these questions.
