Environmental psychology, which studies the ways in which people
perceive and respond to the physical environment, is an established
area of study. Conservation psychology has a much more recent
history, prompted by the desire to focus psychological research on
the need to protect the natural environment. What is conservation
psychology, and what is its relationship to environmental
psychology? The Oxford Handbook of Environmental and Conservation
Psychology includes basic research on environmental perceptions,
attitudes, and values; research on specific environments, such as
therapeutic settings, schools, and prisons; environmental impacts
on human well-being; and ways to promote a more sustainable
relationship between people and the natural environment. By
presenting an extensive review of current research, the handbook
serves as a thorough guide to the state of knowledge about a wide
range of topics at the intersection of psychology and the physical
environment. Beyond this, it provides a better understanding of the
relationship between environmental and conservation psychology, and
some sense of the directions in which these interdependent areas of
study are heading. Research on the human-environment relationship
is increasingly relevant to understanding and addressing the
environmental challenges society is facing. This handbook should
serve as a resource for professionals both within and outside of
psychology who are trying to comprehend the human implications of
environments, and to design programs, policies, and environments
that are cognizant of human psychology.
This forward-thinking Handbook explores cutting-edge research on
how employees within firms should be managed in order to increase
their wellbeing and performance. Expert contributors explore an
emerging stream of research in human resource management (HRM)
which suggests that attention should be paid to how line managers
implement HR practices and how employees perceive, understand and
attribute these HR practices. Chapters consider the implications of
employees' and leaders' HR attributions and their performance, HRM
system strength, change, talent management and the role of line
managers in the HRM process. Providing an overview of the current
knowledge in the HR process research, the Handbook also discusses
future avenues and directions for the field. Demonstrating the
dynamics of how HR practices impact organisational and individual
outcomes, this Handbook will be critical reading for scholars and
students of human resource management, organisational behaviour and
research methods in business and management. It will also be
beneficial for HR professionals seeking to understand how they can
increase the effectiveness of their HR management.

In Learning Targets, Connie M. Moss and Susan M. Brookhart contend
that improving student learning and achievement happens in the
immediacy of an individual lesson--what they call ""today's
lesson""-or it doesn't happen at all. The key to making today's
lesson meaningful? Learning targets. Written from students' point
of view, a learning target describes a lesson-sized chunk of
information and skills that students will come to know deeply. Each
lesson's learning target connects to the next lesson's target,
enabling students to master a coherent series of challenges that
ultimately lead to important curricular standards. Drawing from the
authors' extensive research and professional learning partnerships
with classrooms, schools, and school districts, this practical
book: Situates learning targets in a theory of action that
students, teachers, principals, and central-office administrators
can use to unify their efforts to raise student achievement and
create a culture of evidence-based, results-oriented practice.
Provides strategies for designing learning targets that promote
higher-order thinking and foster student goal setting,
self-assessment, and self-regulation. Explains how to design a
strong performance of understanding, an activity that produces
evidence of students' progress toward the learning target. Shows
how to use learning targets to guide summative assessment and
grading. Learning Targets also includes reproducible planning
forms, a classroom walk-through guide, a lesson-planning process
guide, and guides to teacher and student self-assessment.What
students are actually doing during today's lesson is both the
source of and the yardstick for school improvement efforts. By
applying the insights in this book to your own work, you can
improve your teaching expertise and dramatically empower all
students as stakeholders in their own learning.
In a time when crossing guards are posted to prevent high schoolers
from jumping in front of trains and parents shelling out $100K for
packaged college applications, education has become a mad race to
grab the Ivy ring. Based on experience in admissions with the Ivy
League and other highly competitive universities, emerging
scientific evidence on the impact of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, and discussions with admissions officers, students,
families, and high school counselors, this book is a guide on how
to go through the existing, however brutish, college applications
process with less stress and anxiety, and more joy and mindfulness.
Equipped with the powerful tools of emotional intelligence and
mindfulness, this work acknowledges the reality of what the process
is, and challenges young people to reach for a more meaningful
ideal for themselves. This book shares a look at the holistic
admissions process and offers an alternative one to the current
climate of untenable stress. This updated model aims to shift
mindsets from treating the admissions process as a ruthless
competition with one externally-prescribed definition of success,
to a step in a lifelong journey of curiosity and wonder. By
building self-awareness, compassion, resilience, it's possible to
navigate the process with greater authenticity, balance, and joy.
