David Blair directs this British drama, loosely inspired by John
Steinbeck's novel 'Of Mice and Men'. Set in Nottingham, the film
revolves around the relationship between the thuggish Danny
(Stephen Graham) and Joseph (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), a giant of
a man with a mental age of seven. When Danny finds himself in debt
to a local crime boss, he feels he is left with no choice but to
manipulate Joseph into participating in a series of underground
cage fights from which Danny can profit. Salvation appears to call
out to both men when they begin relationships with Lisa (Emma
Stansfield) and Isabel (Maxine Peake), but will they be able to
escape the bloody world of gambling and fighting Danny has plunged
them into?

Cyrille Regis' story is a compelling one on so many levels. The
story of his migration from the French Caribbean to a racially
divided West London in the 1960s, his development as a
semi-professional footballer and his subsequent move to a
top-flight Football League club, followed by national recognition
and glory, while still facing racial hatred is a tale in itself.
The book begins at Buckingham Palace in 2008, when Cyrille Regis
received his MBE, recognition for his services to football and the
community. This fascinating autobiography describes the battles
Cyrille faced as a child and teenager before he turned professional
and achieved great things as a footballer. As well as detailing the
glorious moments in his career, it studies the impact that he and
his black teammates had on the sociological outlook of football
fans. The book concludes with a review of Cyrille Regis' life after
he retired as a footballer and his work in the community.
Teaching Leadership is written to help people who teach, coach, or
train to build leadership capacity in others. The book is for
anyone who wants to teach leadership more effectively using three
proven methods that make learning more interactive, experiential
and impactful. It's unique among leadership books in that it
details the how of teaching leadership, and not just the what.
Teaching Leadership is a comprehensive guide to the Kansas
Leadership Center teaching, training, facilitating and coaching
methods/ideas. This publication includes the KLC curriculum, case
studies and overview of case-in-point teaching method.
Overcoming barriers to learning and raising standards of
achievement are central efforts in education. In the UK the
government has made education its leading domestic priority and it
has made education the center of its drive to improve public
services by using the private sector to bring about improvements in
performance and to break the status quo. Likewise, throughout the
world private interests are now impinging heavily upon how state
education is perceived; the 'educational apartheid' between state
and private is diminishing across schools and local authorities.
This book provides an incisive commentary on this rapidly changing
phenomenon through clarification, analysis and evaluation of a
variety of policy initiatives and implementation issues in the UK
and by assessing parallel developments elsewhere in the world.
The ways in which change is being forced along in a range of guises
from public partnerships to private company deals are illustrated
with many real and contentious examples. Partnership arrangements,
sponsorships, new categories of state independent schools and
private sector take-overs of schools and education authorities form
the patchwork of how state education is becoming privatized. Will
these changes bring more choice and improved standards? How
valuable to parents is the information presented in league tables
and inspection reports? How will this impact on the future of
education? This provocative and critical book moves forward this
highly topical debate by providing a direct, in-depth and jargon
free commentary on what is happening under the banner of
privatization.
Anyone who wants to know what is really happening in schools -
behind all the hype and political rhetoric about the privatizing
reforms in education - should read this book. It clarifies how
private interests are influencing the public education process, and
investigates Labour's successes and failures. These are critical
moves for parents, teachers, school principals, head teachers and
governors, student teachers, teaching assistants, researchers,
administrators, government officials, politicians, taxpayers and in
fact anyone interested in the future of education. In plain
English, it shows how schools are set up, run and held to account
through testing and inspection and how they make judgements about
the relative merits of different schools' performances. It also
indicates ways in which ordinary people can participate in shaping
the future of education in order to achieve progress and better
standards of achievement from schools and the education service
generally. This is essential reading for all those concerned about
the new future of our education system and of our children.
Pastors face two temptations when they consider church leadership:
one, common in more culturally conservative churches, is simply to
preach faithfully and assume that that alone is adequate Christian
leadership; the other, common in more culturally contemporary
churches, is to apply secular business wisdom, but uncritically.
The books published mirror the two camps. Both drive a wedge
between the Bible and leadership. What if the gift of leadership
was a clear outworking of biblical teaching? What if there is in
the Bible a consistent pattern of human communities flourishing
under the good rule of God's Word. Drawing on years of teaching and
ministry, Chris Green shows us how, as Mike Ovey put it, Christian
leaders can be God's best possible gift to flourishing communities.
