'de Janasz and Crossman have drawn on their professional colleagues to provide an impressive collection of ''tried and true'' experiential exercises to help students gain hands-on understanding of human resource management. These useful exercises engage students in the kind of active learning that is essential to apply HRM theories to concrete, practical situations. In reflecting on their experiential learning, students acquire a deeper, more personal knowledge of what HRM is all about. Teaching Human Resource Management: An Experiential Approach is an essential and valuable companion to more standard texts in HRM.' - Thomas G. Cummings, University of Southern California, US 'This pioneering book by de Janasz and Grossman is a terrific resource. It not only covers a wide range and comprehensive set of topics with which all HRM students (and practitioners) need to be familiar. It also offers well-designed experiential exercises that promote students' active engagement with the topic at hand. I would love to take the course that uses this book!' - Gary N. Powell, University of Connecticut and Lancaster University, US 'An experiential approach to the teaching of HRM makes each topic come alive. By actively participating and becoming highly engaged in each exercise, students generate important lessons that tie theory to practice. The exercises in this book enable all of that and they fill an important gap. ''Tried and true'' exercises in 15 key areas of HR, developed by a diverse group of HR scholars, provide choice, flexibility, and comprehensiveness to any HR course or executive education program.' - Wayne Cascio, University of Colorado, Denver, US This book breathes life into the teaching of Human Resource Management (HRM) by creating learning that applies the theoretical aspects of the discipline to meaningful contexts. In this way, readers will be able to better relate theoretical concepts to workplace decisions and dilemmas. The management of human resources (HR) is a critical function contributing to an organization?s competitiveness in ways that are at least as important as the management of financial and capital resources. To that end, it is essential that future managers and HR specialists destined for careers in business, government and not for profit organizations develop key skills and competences in HR. Experiential learning ignites the desire to learn, while revealing the importance and impact of knowledge and skills necessary to analyze and resolve HR-related dilemmas and challenges in contemporary organizations. While many publications provide direction and advice on the teaching of organizational behavior and leadership, it is harder to find accessible books to support the teaching of HR in motivating and grounded ways. The authors include over 65 exercises, activities, and cases for the undergraduate, MBA and executive learning classrooms. HR professors and practitioners will find it of value and students will be left feeling well prepared for the kinds of situations that await them in the field of? - and situations requiring expertise in? - HR.

Accompanying the specially-commissioned White Wolves fiction range, which has been written in consultation with the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, each of these books contains five literacy lesson plans and five photocopiable activities for each of the three graded short story collections in the Year 6 strands. The activities are designed for guided reading sessions in schools, in which each class is divided into groups of children with a comparable level of reading experience. The teacher spends time helping each group to negotiate a book specially chosen to match their experience level, and also sets the children literacy activities which they can work through by themselves. Guided reading helps children develop strategies for reading which enable them to become independent readers.

Adults accept that problems will occur at home and at work, and that they need the disposition, skills and strategies to deal with them.

The activities in this series present a wide range of problematic situations for which there is more than one solution or more than one approach to the solution. They are designed to lay the foundational skills, strategies and attitudes for pupils to become life-long problem solvers. The series includes activities in the areas of maths, literacy, speaking and listening, PSHE, music and dance. The activity sheets can be used in isolation, as part of a sequence, or dipped into as teachers require.

This fascinating sequel to the 1998 Teaching Economics to Undergraduates provides more alternatives to the lecture and chalkboard approach that dominates university economics teaching. Distinguished contributing authors provide a wide range of innovative teaching techniques and examples aimed at more effectively engaging undergraduates in the learning of economics. New topics covered in this volume include game theory, using active learning techniques in large classes, a streamlined content agenda for macroeconomic principles, distance learning, and assessment of student learning. Other chapters revisit topics from the first volume, though often from different perspectives or with new approaches provided by different authors. Topics covered in these chapters include cooperative learning techniques, using technology in the classroom (including dozens of websites), bringing the work of the Nobel Laureates into undergraduate classes, and teaching with experimental economics, case studies, or team writing assignments and presentations. Teaching Economics is an invaluable and practical tool for teachers of economics, administrators responsible for undergraduate instruction and graduate students who are just beginning to teach. Each chapter includes specific teaching tips for classroom implementation and summary lists of dos and don'ts for instructors who are thinking of moving beyond the lecture method of traditional chalk and talk.
