All you need is paper, scissors and glue, and with the templates
and step-by-step instructions in this book, you can create
beautiful festive scenes at home. Start with snowflakes in
different sizes and scatter them around the room, or hang them from
your windows. Create the simplest Christmas tree topper, or a
series of stars to decorate the family table. All sorts of paper
can be used - from leftover wrapping paper, to baking paper and
coffee filter paper. There are also wreaths, garlands, leaves,
flowers and lots more to discover, and once you start creating
these stunningly simple projects, you'll want to make more and give
them as gifts, too! When the nights draw in and you need to add a
little magic and sparkle to the long evenings, what better way than
to make your own decorations.
Leadership training is beneficial for the development of every
human being, but few leadership models have focused on leadership
qualities under service economies. In view of the lack of
leadership models designed for service economies, the service
leadership model was proposed by the Hong Kong Institute of Service
Leadership and Management. To promote service leadership in the
growing service economies, there is an obvious need to develop
service leadership education for young people, particularly
university students who are pillars of society in the future. In
this book, the core beliefs and basic assertions of the service
leadership model are highlighted, and integration of Western
notions of leadership and Chinese philosophies (e.g., Confucian
virtues) is attempted. Students are expected to integrate the
academic content of the subject with their real life experiences.
Finally, several evaluation mechanisms have been used to evaluate
the subject. The authors' hope to generate more interest,
discussion, and further development of service leadership education
within and outside of Hong Kong.
Human development research commonly addresses the "what", "when",
"how", "why", "who", and "where" of human development. For example,
with reference to the development of resilience in adolescence,
researchers often ask what are the components of resilience
("what"), their development at different time points ("when"), and
the related trajectories ("how"). Researchers also attempt to
understand factors influencing resilience ("why") in different
adolescents ("who") in different cultures ("where"). In many
adolescent research studies, researchers are interested in asking
questions about "relationships" among developmental events and
concepts, such as the relationship between the family environment
and resilience. Besides, research questions regarding "differences"
are raised by researchers, such as differences between early
adolescents and late adolescents on resilience, and differences in
resilience in Chinese and African adolescents. Against this
background we present in this book several chapters on the
statistical analyses in human development research using real-life
datasets based on the positive youth development project
(P.A.T.H.S.) in Hong Kong in a pioneer attempt using different
Chinese contexts with the wish that we can facilitate Chinese
researchers to understand human development research and understand
more about statistical analyses.
In the 1940s South, it seemed that non-Black Latino people were on
the road to whiteness. In fact, in many places throughout the
region governed by Jim Crow, they were able to attend white
schools, live in white neighborhoods, and marry white southerners.
However, by the early 2000s, Latino people in the South were
routinely cast as "illegal aliens" and targeted by some of the
harshest anti-immigrant legislation in the country. This book helps
explain how race evolved so dramatically for this population over
the course of the second half of the twentieth century. Cecilia
Marquez guides readers through time and place from Washington, DC,
to the deep South, tracing how non-Black Latino people moved
through the region's evolving racial landscape. In considering
Latino presence in the South's schools, its workplaces, its tourist
destinations, and more, Marquez tells a challenging story of
race-making that defies easy narratives of progressive change and
promises to reshape the broader American histories of Jim Crow, the
civil rights movement, immigration, work, and culture.
Since we think university students are the cream of the crop, it is
important to ask whether or not they thrive well. To what extent
can university students in Hong Kong develop in a holistic manner?
How should we nurture university students to become the leaders and
talents of tomorrow? Leadership and intrapersonal development are
inherent requirements for university students in Hong Kong,
transposing as 3-credit courses that each student must complete in
order to graduate. To meet this requirement, a subject entitled
Tomorrows Leaders was developed and piloted twice during the
2010-2012 academic years, which was offered to over 2,100 students
annually. The design of the subject, curriculum materials,
reflection of the teachers and evaluation findings in connection
with this subject are presented in this book.

La sociedad contemporanea vive inmersa en una crisis de valores que
no puede ni debe ser obviada por la escuela. En consecuencia, las
programaciones docentes han de responder a una educacion en valores
verdaderamente comprometida con las necesidades y demandas
actuales. El objetivo de este proyecto es disenar y aplicar una
propuesta didactica de Educacion para la Solidaridad,
contextualizada en el ambito de la educacion musical. Para esta
investigacion se ha utilizado un diseno metodologico
cuasi-experimental de grupo unico. Se pretende observar la
respuesta del alumnado a la unidad didactica creada ad hoc basada
en el valor de la solidaridad, que ha sido disenada para tercer
ciclo de Educacion Primaria e implementada en un centro de la
Region de Murcia. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que los
discentes han acogido la experiencia con gran entusiasmo e interes,
constatandose asimismo su aproximacion al concepto-idea de
solidaridad."
