"I Hate Reading" - Justin M. Stygles - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

It can take a lifetime to eradicate a reader’s shame—or it can take one great teacher Shame-bound readers want someone to notice them . It’s true. But then what does a teacher do to help students? Justin Stygles found fresh answers in Gershen Kaufman’s seminal research on shame and applied it to his teaching. The results proved to him—and now us—that building relationships and taking deliberate actions to alleviate shame is crucial. With this remarkable book, Stygles shows us how to build an interpersonal bridge with students and make vulnerability okay. But make no mistake—disengaged readers need to feel competent before they fully buy in, and so the author packs the book with powerful instructional ideas. Learn to: - - Spot all the distress signals, including withdrawal, perfectionism, and compliance. - - Help students see that they are not permanently locked out of a reading life - - Use assessment instruments to note and celebrate incremental change - - Plan mini-units that develop skills in concert with engagement - - Design small group experiences that are free of levels and other shame-inducing labels - - Pump up independent reading with scaffolding and sociability - - Harness writing about reading to convince students of their uniqueness. - The shame factor is real. It’s time we meet it head on, with innovation and the best thinking from multiple research fields. I Hate Reading is the tool that does just that.

Marketing and Consumer Research in the Public Interest - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The articles are not a series of condemnations of past and current marketing practices; rather, they provide objective, heavily footnoted descriptions of marketing′s actual impacts on these issues. . . . The book will be of most value to academicians researching ethical and public policy issues and those in nonprofit organizations with marketing responsibilities. --Choice How does personal crisis affect consumption? How do companies decide the appropriate way to market to a minority group? To what extent does social responsibility impact marketing? Marketing and Consumer Research in the Public Interest summarizes and extends the research on these types of issues in marketing and consumer behavior. Written by some of the leading social and public policy scholars in the field of marketing, the book discusses some essential consumption issues, marketing of controversial products, and the effectiveness of consumer safety and green buying campaigns. In addition, the volume examines two cutting-edge theoretical approaches to conducting consumer research in the public interest. It examines troublesome consumption issues such as substance abuse, grieving consumers, and marketing to the poor. It also explores media concerns such as portrayals of minority groups, target marketing, and the impact idealized images have on consumers′ perceptions of their lives, particularly with respect to their material possessions. This volume concludes with an informative discussion of legislative and social marketing issues, including green buying practices, consumer rights, warning labels, and product safety. Researchers, scholars, and upper-level students in the areas of public relations, communications, ethics, healthcare and public policy will find this a valuable resource. Professionals who want a better understanding of the issues that are currently being investigated by scholars in the marketing and consumer behavior fields will appreciate the insights this volume offers as well.

Writing the Playbook - Kelley E. King - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Your game plan for getting boys on the path to higher achievement You′ve seen it in your school: boys struggling to master basic literacy skills, sitting outside the principal′s office, collecting labels like "hyperactive," getting failing grades. Checked out, kicked out, or dropped out, they′re benched when they should be scoring goals on the academic playing field. As a school leader, Kelley King has walked the talk: she successfully led her own staff to close the gender gap in reading and writing in just one year. In her step-by-step, research-based leadership plan for jump-starting boys′ achievement, she shares: - Critical insight into the brain-based differences between boys and girls - First-hand leadership and classroom experiences - Ready-to-use activities and resources for leading a successful gap-closing initiative With tips, anecdotes, and more, Writing the Playbook provides educators in all roles with a blueprint for creating schools where boys (and girls!) thrive. "Finally, some practical advice from an experienced educator on how to make boys into successful students. King′s credentials—mother of both a son and daughter as well as a principal who successfully addressed gender gaps at her school—are unbeatable." —Richard Whitmire, Author of Why Boys Fail: Saving Our Sons from an Educational System That′s Leaving Them Behind "Kelley King is both impassioned and level-headed, and she starts a conversation that we desperately need to have in our country." —Michael Kimmel, Author of Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology "This is a highly practical and highly relevant book. Two thumbs up!" —Eric Jensen, Author of Teaching with the Brain in Mind
