Dr Robert Garmston, a high school dropout, whose childhood is
characterized by rejection, abandonment, and abuse sees himself as
having a core of badness and as someone who is unlovable. In his
childhood, he spends more time in group homes than with his adopted
family, the same family that tries to reverse his adoption. The
adrenalin of risk, adventure, and fear drive him. He finds little
to trust in others and lives each day from a state of wariness.
Life is unpredictable for him; he has to take care of himself
because those who are supposed to protect him are unreliable. In
spite of his youthful experiences, he earns advanced degrees and
creates a human development program used throughout the world. As
an influential educator, he mesmerizes audiences with his
intellect. This book details the challenges of his childhood and
his journey out of the despair of his drinking years into a
university professor and esteemed innovator of educational
programs. This is a must read for anyone working with youth. The
story of resilience inspires hope in each of us.
Proper presentations have the power to persuade and transform
people and organizations. This is a book about the art of
presenting. Using current knowledge about learning, this book
describes best practices for designing, delivering, debriefing, and
growing from the presenting experience. Some highlights include how
to give a two minute speech, getting comfortable in your own skin,
overcoming resistance and audience fatigue, and how to de-demonize
the personal digital devices in training rooms today. What's new in
this edition is information on interactive presentation technology,
making the first 5 minutes magical, a new treatment of presentation
design, and attention to cultural mindfulness. This third edition
continues to be a guidebook for anyone who has ever stood before a
group to make a presentation - novices and experts alike. For
novices the book provides a respected foundation upon which to
enhance learning for adults. For experienced presenters it offers
an opportunity to fine tune your work in specific areas. For the
specialist, professor, or trainer of those teaching adults, it
serves as a curriculum guide. **Free Study Guide Available at

This 3rd edition of the award winning Adaptive Schools Sourcebook
provides both a theoretical and practical guide for groups and
teams to develop and focus their collaborative energies to improve
teaching practices and enhance student-learning outcomes. In five
sections: Becoming Adaptive, Collaboration Matters, Meetings are
Teachers' Work, Resources for Inquiry, and Conflict, Change and
Community, the authors draw on decades of personal experiences in
schools and research from multiple disciplines to present powerful
tools and useful templates for structuring the work of productive
professional communities in schools. Readers will learn ways to
develop and sustain the fundamental elements for enhancing social
capital in schools: distinguishing between dialogue and discussion,
establishing seven norms of collaboration, automating language
patterns for inquiry and problem solving, facilitating groups and
data teams, engaging in productive conflict, and building
community. The book offers links to video clips demonstrating key
skills, inventories for assessing groups, instruments for assessing
personal skills, and a collection of over 150 meeting strategies
and facilitator moves for engaging group members in productive
interactions.
In this greatly expanded and extensively updated edition of a
widely popular resource you see how teachers' individual and
collective capacities for continuing self-improvement are
strengthened over time through Cognitive Coaching. You gain
essential skills, protocols, guidance, research and resources to
use when implementing Cognitive Coaching principles and values in
your own school setting. Working toward the goals of making school
better places where more students succeed and satisfaction in
learning and teaching prevail, Costa and Garmston let you know
about their own learning, and how new research and practice can
support individuals and schools in reaching higher, more
satisfying, and more holistic performance. Organized into four
sections, the book clearly and effectively presents these concepts:
the meanings of cognitive coaching; the basics of teaching
excellence; strategies and tactics for engaging in coaching; and
how to integrate Cognitive Coaching throughout the system.
Building on the authors' celebrated work in cognitive coaching,
this important book provides teachers, schools, and policy leaders
with the rationale and new direction for enhancing the development
of the intellectual capacity of educators, their performance and
ultimate effects on student learning. The authors focus on
assisting teachers in developing awareness in their own ability to
make effective judgments based on all their capabilities and
experiences. When teachers weave internal expertise and external
criteria together into the exquisite tapestry of teaching and
learning, they gain confidence in their ability to make a
difference for all students. Rather than spending time becoming
better inspectors and enforcers, Cognitive Capital calls for
skilful leaders to engage educators' thought processes which
promote practices that have high impacts on their students.
