Much of the research about teachers focuses on "those who
can't/don't/aren't good" in the classroom. However, teachers who
are gifted and talented exist, but there has been little attention
to date on the characteristics and practices of such teachers in
the classroom. While few, the examples of research on positive
teacher attributes include work on the "expert," "authentic," and
"creative," as well as examples of research on eminent adults.
Identifying, Describing, and Developing Teachers Who Are Gifted and
Talented is an essential reference source that discusses behaviors
and traits in teachers who are considered gifted and talented as
well as case studies on the identification and preparation of
teachers who fall into this category. Featuring research on topics
such as creative innovation, emotional intelligence, and skill
development, this book is ideally designed for educators,
administrators, researchers, and academicians.
Given the increased impact of non-market forces on business
reputation, there has never been a greater need to grasp corporate
social performance. This book demonstrates that a holistic
perspective on corporate citizenship that accommodates the
importance of profits and other time-honored social values is both
desirable and possible.
Embedding CSR into Corporate Culture demonstrates that a new
frontier for corporate social responsibility is possible in theory
and practice. The key idea - discovery leadership - enables
corporate managers to deal effectively with problems, issues, and
value clashes occurring at the corporation-society interface.
Amoral leadership and executive myopia are replaced by normative
receptivity and value attunement that embed value awareness in
corporate culture. The discovery executive leverages this awareness
by activating the values that facilitate constructive relationships
with the firm's stakeholders. As a practical result, employee
engagement in corporate social responsibility is strengthened while
the need for social control of business is lessened. Both business
and society benefit from discovery leadership because value-attuned
decision making yields better economic, social, and environmental
performance than is possible when myopic executives are at the
helm. Therefore, discovery leadership should serve as the
organizing principle for reshaping management practice, reforming
management education, and restoring the public's confidence in
business.
