Soft skills have become a game-changing competence in the modern world of work, which demands socially adept, professional leaders who are able to contribute and add value to multiple facets of an organisation. When people understand and learn to control their own behaviour, thoughts, feelings, attitudes and motives, it gives them a definite strategic advantage, both in the workplace and in society. Developing soft skills for success: a guide for modern professionals provides a foundation for cultivating excellence in emerging leaders.

Developing soft skills for success: a guide for modern professionals is aimed at students in higher education as well as practising professionals and managers.
Updated with new research and insights, the second edition of this
foundational guide to the how of differentiation provides the
thoughtful strategies teachers need to create and maintain
classrooms where each student is recognized and respected and every
student thrives. One of the most powerful lessons a teacher must
learn is that classroom management is not about control; it's about
delivering the support and facilitating the routines that will make
the classroom work for each student, and thus, set all students
free to be successful learners. In Leading and Managing a
Differentiated Classroom, Carol Ann Tomlinson and Marcia B. Imbeau
explore the central priorities and mindsets of differentiation and
provide practical guidelines for making effective student-centered,
academically responsive instruction a reality. Their classroom
management approach is based on three critical understandings: 1.
When students are engaged, they have no motivation to misbehave. 2.
When students understand that their teacher sees them as worthwhile
people with significant potential, it opens doors to learning. 3.
The classroom can't work for anybody until it works for everybody.
Written for K-12 teachers and instructional leaders, this book is
packed with strategies for structuring and pacing lessons,
organizing learning spaces and materials, starting and stopping
class with purpose, setting up and managing routines, and shifting
gears if something isn't going well. It also gives teachers the
guidance they need to help students, colleagues, and parents
understand the goals of differentiated instruction and contribute
to its success. Along with examples of recommended practice drawn
from real-life classrooms at a variety of grade levels, you will
find answers to frequently asked questions and specific advice for
balancing content requirements and the needs of learners. You'll
gain confidence as a leader for and in your differentiated
classroom and be better prepared to teach in a way that's more
efficient and rewarding for you and more effective for every
student in your care.
