culture is mysterious and confusing to most leaders. But it doesn't
have to be. In The Security Culture Playbook, Perry Carpenter and
Kai Roer, two veteran cybersecurity strategists deliver
experience-driven, actionable insights into how to transform your
organization's security culture and reduce human risk at every
level. This book exposes the gaps between how organizations have
traditionally approached human risk and it provides security and
business executives with the necessary information and tools needed
to understand, measure, and improve facets of security culture
across the organization. The book offers: An expose of what
security culture really is and how it can be measured A careful
exploration of the 7 dimensions that comprise security culture
Practical tools for managing your security culture program, such as
the Security Culture Framework and the Security Culture Maturity

Board of Directors for your culture management program Also
including several revealing interviews from security culture
thought leaders in a variety of industries, The Security Culture
Playbook is an essential resource for cybersecurity professionals,
risk and compliance managers, executives, board members, and other
business leaders seeking to proactively manage and reduce risk.
A hallmark of much of the research on children's thinking in the
1970s had been the focus on explicit content domains. Much of this
research had been represented by an eclectic collection of studies
sampled from a variety of disciplines and content areas. However,
in the few years before this publication, research in several
content domains has begun to coalesce into a coherent body of
knowledge. Originally published in 1982, the chapters in this work
represent one of the first attempts to bring together the
perspectives of a variety of different researchers investigating a
specific, well defined content domain. This book presents
theoretical views and research findings of a group of international
scholars who are investigating the early acquisition of addition
and subtraction skills by young children. Together, the
contributors bring a blend of psychology, educational psychology,
and mathematics education to this topic. Fields of interest such as
information processing, artificial intelligence, early childhood,
and classroom teaching and learning are included in this blend.
This volume focuses on the important mathematical idea of functions
that, with the technology of computers and calculators, can be
dynamically represented in ways that have not been possible
previously. The book's editors contend that as result of recent
technological developments combined with the integrated knowledge
available from research on teaching, instruction, students'
thinking, and assessment, curriculum developers, researchers, and
teacher educators are faced with an unprecedented opportunity for
making dramatic changes. The book presents content considerations
that occur when the mathematics of graphs and functions relate to
curriculum. It also examines content in a carefully considered
integration of research that conveys where the field stands and
where it might go. Drawing heavily on their own work, the chapter
authors reconceptualize research in their specific areas so that
this knowledge is integrated with the others' strands. This model
for synthesizing research can serve as a paradigm for how research
in mathematics education can -- and probably should -- proceed.
Until recently there had been relatively little integration of
programs of research on teaching, learning, curriculum, and
assessment. However, in the last few years it has become
increasingly apparent that a more unified program of research is
needed to acquire an understanding of teaching and learning in
schools that will inform curriculum development and assessment. The
chapters in this volume represent a first step toward an
integration of research paradigms in one clearly specified
mathematical domain. Integrating a number of different research
perspectives is a complex task, and ways must be found to reduce
the complexity without sacrificing the integration. The research
discussed in this volume is tied together because it deals with a
common content strand. During the last ten years specific content
domains have served as focal points for research on the development
of mathematical concepts in children. The areas of addition and
subtraction, algebra, rational numbers, and geometry are notable
examples. Whether a similar organizational structure will prevail
for programs of research that integrate the study of teaching,
learning, curriculum, and assessment is an open question. The
perspectives presented in this volume illustrate the potential for
adopting this perspective.

The research reported in this book provides reliable evidence on
and knowledge about mathematics and science instruction that
emphasizes student understanding--instruction consistent with the
needs of students who will be citizens in an increasingly demanding
technological world. The National Center for Improving Student
Learning in Mathematics and Science--established in 1996 as a
research center and funded by the U.S. Department of Education--was
instrumental in developing instructional practices supportive of
high student achievement in and understanding of mathematics and
science concepts. NCISLA researchers worked with teachers,
students, and administrators to construct learning environments
that exemplify current research and theory about effective learning
of mathematics and science. The careful programs of research
conducted examined how instructional content and design,
assessment, professional development, and organizational support
can be designed, implemented, and orchestrated to support the
learning of all students. This book presents a summary of the
concepts, findings, and conclusions of the Center's research from
1996-2001. In the Introduction, the chapters in Understanding
Mathematics and Science Matters are situated in terms of the reform
movement in school mathematics and school science. Three
thematically structured sections focus on, respectively, research
directed toward what is involved when students learn mathematics
and science with understanding; research on the role of teachers
and the problems they face when attempting to teach their students
mathematics and science with understanding; and a collaboration
among some of the contributors to this volume to gather information
about classroom assessment practices and organizational support for
reform. The goal of this book is to help educational practitioners,
policymakers, and the general public to see the validity of the
reform recommendations, understand the recommended guidelines, and
to use these to transform teaching and learning of mathematics and
science in U.S. classrooms.

Expert guidance on the art and science of driving secure behaviors
Transformational Security Awareness empowers security leaders with
the information and resources they need to assemble and deliver
effective world-class security awareness programs that drive secure
behaviors and culture change. When all other processes, controls,
and technologies fail, humans are your last line of defense. But,
how can you prepare them? Frustrated with ineffective training
paradigms, most security leaders know that there must be a better
way. A way that engages users, shapes behaviors, and fosters an
organizational culture that encourages and reinforces
security-related values. The good news is that there is hope.
That's what Transformational Security Awareness is all about.
Author Perry Carpenter weaves together insights and best practices
from experts in communication, persuasion, psychology, behavioral
economics, organizational culture management, employee engagement,
and storytelling to create a multidisciplinary masterpiece that
transcends traditional security education and sets you on the path
to make a lasting impact in your organization. Find out what you
need to know about marketing, communication, behavior science, and
culture management Overcome the knowledge-intention-behavior gap
Optimize your program to work with the realities of human nature
Use simulations, games, surveys, and leverage new trends like
escape rooms to teach security awareness Put effective training
together into a well-crafted campaign with ambassadors Understand
the keys to sustained success and ongoing culture change Measure
your success and establish continuous improvements Do you care more
about what your employees know or what they do? It's time to
transform the way we think about security awareness. If your
organization is stuck in a security awareness rut, using the same
ineffective strategies, materials, and information that might check
a compliance box but still leaves your organization wide open to
phishing, social engineering, and security-related employee
mistakes and oversights, then you NEED this book.
In this book, originally published in 1964, Peter Carpenter
discusses the 'era approach' to teaching history, where short and
unrelated periods are chosen for special study, and the students
are encouraged to investigate them actively. He also supplies a
specimen curriculum for use in secondary schools. This book will be
of value to anyone with an interest in the history of education.
Sensory testing has been in existence ever since man started to use
his senses to judge the quality and safety of drinking water and
foodstuffs. With the onset of trading, there were several
developments that led to more formalized testing, involving
professional tasters and grading systems. Many of these grading
systems are still in existence today and continue to serve a useful
purpose, for example in assessing tea, coffee, and wines. However,
there has also been a growing need for methods for well-repli
cated, objective, unbiased sensory assessment, which can be applied
rou tinely across a wide range of foods. Sensory analysis seeks to
satisfy this need. Sensory analysis is not new to the food
industry, but its application as a basic tool in food product
development and quality control has not always been given the
recognition and acceptance it deserves. This, we believe, is
largely due to the lack of understanding about what sensory
analysis can offer in product research, development, and marketing
and a fear that the discipline is "too scientific" to be practical.
To some extent, sensory scien tists have perpetuated this fear by
failing to recognize the industrial con straints to implementing
sensory testing procedures. These Guidelines are an attempt to
redress the balance."
Experimental economists are leaving the reservation. They are
recruiting subjects in the field rather than in the classroom,
using field goods rather than induced valuations, and using field
context rather than abstract terminology in instructions. This
volume examines the methodology of field experiments, and offers a
wide array of applications of field experiments.
The methodological issues revolve around the ability of field
experimenters to ensure the same degree of control that lab
experimenters claim. The applications cover issues such as risk and
time preferences of the Danish population, savings decisions of the
Canadian working poor, differences between the social preferences
of American students and workers, the effect of educational
vouchers on American school children, and differences in bargaining
behavior across nations. This volume serves as an introduction to
the issues and applications of this new area of experimental
economics.
