This illuminating new book presents a series of in-depth case
studies from around the world based on numerous personal interviews
with organizational leaders and focusing on their journey towards
sustainability. The aim is to provide visions of a more sustainable
future, and shed light on the path, milestones and solutions - in
particular the management processes these organizations employed -
to provide a reliable compass that others can follow. Although each
organization must take steps to fit its particular circumstance,
business conditions and culture, Mapping the Journey proves that
valuable lessons can be learned by setting aside critique as to
where these organizations may yet make progress and instead
focusing on the guidelines, targets, measures of success, tools and
techniques and valuable wisdom about how pioneer organisations are
travelling toward a prosperous, sustainable future. Each
organization included has crafted its own unique strategic
responses to an identified need for increased sustainability. While
none can be said to have reached the end-point of a sustainable
development strategy, all have found that, by addressing the
challenge of sustainable industrial practices, they have found
innovative solutions, new opportunities for revenue generation,
better relationships with customers, new business and product
opportunities and a boost to morale from the executive ranks to
front-line employees. Mapping the Journey examines both public and
private organizations worldwide: SJ Rail of Sweden; Sony
Corporation; SC Johnson; TransAlta Corporation; Patagonia; Henkel;
Volvo; ASG; Interface Flooring Systems; Suncor; DaimlerChrysler;
AssiDoman; Germany's Centre for Technology Assessment and the Dutch
National Environmental Policy Plan. These case studies provide an
inspiring framework of effective processes for defining a
sustainable development strategy and transforming it successfully
into actions and results.
Legal Issues in Special Education provides teachers and school
administrators with a clearly written, well-organized, and
understandable guide from the perspective of the practitioner
without formal legal training. Even though over 50 percent of
students with disabilities are now educated in general education
classes, most teachers are not required to complete coursework in
special education law and can unwittingly expose themselves and
their schools to liability for violating the rights of students
with disabilities. This practitioner's guide explicitly addresses
the major issues and legal complexities educators inevitably face
when dealing with special education legal and policy issues. Using
case-based learning to synthesize important legal concepts and
principles from leading special education legal cases, this text
guides educators, administrators, and parents alike toward a
thorough understanding of, and the ability to navigate, many of the
current and pressing legal concerns in special education.
