'Provides readers with a compelling rationale for the process,
offers experience-tested tools, and suggests ways to address
commonly-occurring challenges. This book will assist teachers, and
those who support them, in understanding and implementing all
phases of lesson study, from initial planning through sharing with
others what was learned' - Dennis Sparks, Executive Director,
National Staff Development Council 'A powerful teacher professional
development process that focuses collaborative teams directly on
the classroom, and the perfect tool for teachers, professional
developers, and team leaders. Gives you everything you need to use
lesson study to support teachers in thinking deeply about practice'
- Roberta Jaffe, Science Education Coordinator, New Teacher Center,
University of California, Santa Cruz Use this team-centered
approach to directly enhance teaching and learning in your school!
First introduced in Japan, lesson study has gained enthusiastic
advocates in U.S. educational circles as a powerful, collaborative
approach that brings teachers together as researchers into the
science and craft of teaching and learning in their classrooms.
Teachers work as teams to develop a lesson plan, teach and observe
the lesson to collect data on student learning, and use their
observations to refine their lesson. Participants build their sense
of professional authority while discovering effective practices
that result in improved learning outcomes for their students. This
"how-to" guide provides teachers, administrators, and team leaders
with practical strategies, models, and tools. The book leads a
beginning team through the phases of the lesson study cycle and
provides an experienced team with new perspectives. Using examples
from U.S. classrooms, this handbook: * Encourages educators to
generate and share knowledge * Inspires a teacher-researcher stance
* Illustrates both the process and substance of lesson study *
Encourages collaboration * Provides guidelines for avoiding common
pitfalls Leading Lesson Study is an excellent resource for both
experienced and novice lesson study teams, administrators who want
to start a lesson study program, and lesson study team facilitators
such as instructional coaches and professional development
providers.
This book covers a wide range of topics relating to the health and
wellbeing of the construction workforce. Based on more than a
decade of work examining various aspects of workers' health and
wellbeing, the book addresses a key topic in construction
management: how the design of work environments, construction
processes and organisation of work impact upon construction
workers' physical and psychological health. Occupational health is
a significant problem for the construction industry. However, the
subject of health is usually treated as an afterthought in other
books which emphasise safety issues. Traditional management
approaches (focused on the prevention of accidents and injuries)
are arguably ill-suited to addressing issues of workers' health and
wellbeing. The evidenced informed approach in this book provides a
rich analysis of how construction workers' health and wellbeing are
impacted by working in the construction industry, and critical
information about how organisations (and decision-makers within
them) can create workplaces and practices that are supportive and
enable construction workers to maintain healthy and productive
working lives. Including chapter summaries and discussion questions
to encourage student readers to reflect on and formulate their own
viewpoints about the issues raised in each chapter, the book has
the potential to be used as a textbook in undergraduate or
postgraduate occupational health and safety, or construction
management courses dealing with occupational health and safety. It
could also be used as supplementary, recommended reading in
undergraduate or postgraduate programs in architecture, engineering
or management.
The Workbook contains ten units provide additional practice of
material covered in the Students' Book. The Workbook also includes:
Additional grammar, vocabulary and functional language practice
activities Additional reading, writing and listening practice
activities An answer key at the back of the book allows learners to

Join Tintin and Snowy as they tackle the toughest mysteries around the world in Red Rackham's Treasure.

In this comprehensive examination of British sympathy for the South
during and after the American Civil War, Michael J. Turner explores
the ideas and activities of A.J. Beresford Hope - one of the
leaders of the pro-Confederate lobby in Britain - to provide fresh
insight into that seemingly curious allegiance. Hope and his
associates cast famed Confederate general Thomas J. "Stonewall"
Jackson as the embodiment of southern independence, courage, and
honour, elevating him to the status of a hero in Britain.
Historians have often noted that economic interest, political
attitudes, and concern about Britain's global reach and
geostrategic position led many in the country to embrace the
Confederate cause, but they have focused less on the social,
cultural, and religious reasons enunciated by Hope and ostensibly
represented by Jackson, factors Turner suggests also heightened
British affinity for the South. During the war, Hope noticed a
tendency among British people to view southerners as heroic
warriors in their struggle against the North. He and his
pro-southern followers shared and promoted this vision, framing
Jackson as the personification of that noble mission and raising
the general's profile in Britain so high that they collected enough
funds to construct a memorial to him after his death in 1863.
Unveiled twelve years later in Richmond, Virginia, the statue
stands today as a remarkable artifact of one of the lesser-known
strands of British pro-Confederate ideology. Stonewall Jackson,
Beresford Hope, and the Meaning of the American Civil War in
Britain serves as the first in-depth analysis of Hope as a leading
pro-southern activist and of Jackson's reputation in Britain during
and after the Civil War. It places the conflict in a transnational
context that reveals the reasons British citizens formed bonds of
solidarity with the southerners whom they perceived shared their
social and cultural values.
Whether he's trolling the high seas for treasure or blasting off for the moon, young reporter-sleuth Tintin and his faithful dog, Snowy, have delighted readers everywhere for generations with their timeless adventures. Join Tintin and Snowy as they tackle the toughest mysteries around the world in Land of Black Gold, Destination Moon, and Explorers on the Moon.
