Talking with children

Because of this it is especially incumbent on parents to avoid the argument of the
big stick. I argue from the "big stick" when I force you to do something, or to say
something, or to think something by threatening you with some harm if you do not
do so. My threat becomes the sole reason for your compliance. The threat can be
as obvious as "Drop one bomb on me and I will drop 12 bombs on you." It can be
as subtle as "Say this and I will think less of you." The threat can be explicitly ...

Financial Reporting in the Pacific Asia Region

There is a dearth of good books on accounting in China, East Asia and Southeast Asia. This book makes a valuable contribution towards filling the gap. In particular, the authors focus on the extent of the harmonisation of domestic standards with international accounting standards and on the development of the accounting profession. The final chapter in Part III deals with the problems and prospects for accounting harmonisation in the region.

Correlation Between the Consistent Use of a General Problem Solving Strategy and the Organization of Physics Knowledge

Basic knowledge of concepts and facts, knowledge of heuristics and
metacognitive knowledge are all involved in effective problem solving (
Schoenfeld, 1985). Metacognitive knowledge enables the coordination of skills
and the monitoring of progress towards a problem solution. The critical
importance of metacognitive knowledge makes active student learning essential.
Much traditional instruction, however well organized and presented, leads to
passive learning on the part of the ...

Public Budgeting Systems

Now in its Ninth Edition, Public Budgeting Systems is a complete and balanced reference that surveys the current state of budgeting throughout all levels of the United States government. The text emphasizes methods by which financial decisions are reached within a system as well as ways in which different types of information are used in budgetary decision-making. It also stresses the use of program information, since, for decades, budget reforms have sought to introduce greater program considerations into financial decisions. The Ninth Edition has been updated to give particular attention to several recent developments in public budgeting and finance including: • Steps that have been taken by governments to battle the effects of the “Great Recession” and to enhance economic recovery. In the US, this includes the actions of the Federal Reserve as well as legislative efforts, such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. • Significant increase in use of fiscal policy tools to stimulate economic recovery, in contrast to most recent previous 20 year period. • The federal government’s direct role in the operations of the private sector will be explored. The government has become a major stockholder and therefore has a financial stake in seeing that corporations succeed. • Unprecedented federal deficits, as well as extreme budgetary challenges at the state and local level, including a discussion of causes and possible solutions. • Other changes during the Obama presidency, including the passage of comprehensive health care reform and changes in the management agenda. • Continued developments in financial and debt management, including additional GASB requirements and the effects of the recent economic contraction on the borrowing prospects for state and local governments. • Additional recognition of the effects of the global economy, resulting in an increase in the pages devoted to discussing international examples.

The text emphasizes methods by which financial decisions are reached within a system as well as ways in which different types of information are used in budgetary decision-making.

One Minute Meditations

We live in a speed-driven, compulsive, obsessive world. Time seems to evaporate. In such a world it’s refreshing to be able to take a minute out of our busy-ness to meditate on what is essential in life. These brief meditations will offer the reader the experience of Jesus in the ordinary dynamisms of everyday life. Even when Jesus is not explicitly mentioned in a given meditation, he is the Word who pervades all human words. Each meditation is an attempt to reflect Jesus’ dream for us to become all God wants us to be, to experience the beauty, the mystery, the challenge of Jesus in days that blur into days.

The One-Minute Temper Tantrum Solution

Strategies for Responding to Children's Challenging Behaviors

This resource examines developmental, situational, physical, and temperamental factors that can trigger tantrums and provides effective interventions to help teachers avoid long-term negative consequences for children.

There are many common remedies or folk remedies that are recommended by
elders, religious leaders, politicians, self-appointed experts, and professionals
who study teaching and parenting processes and child discipline and behavior.
You see their proposed remedies all over the Internet and on ... Some are by
parents with out-of-control children or spouses but who now know what they
should have done before. Perhaps I should have gotten suggestions from the
young couple ...

Cooperative Learning and the Collaborative School

Readings from Educational Leadership

Cooperation in the classroom counteracts well-established routines and values that nearly all adults and many educators take for granted. Education remains a fiercely competitive enterprise, and individualistic notions of professionalism predominate. Despite the continued importance of independence, initiative, and personal achievement, today's schools are experimenting with consideration, sharing, collegiality, and commitment to group goals. This volume contains readings from recent editions of "Educational Leadership" on cooperative learning and collaborative schools, beginning with Robert Slavin's introduction and Ronald Brandt's insistence that cooperation is not un-American. The articles in the second section discuss various cooperative learning models, including Team Assisted Individuation, Cooperative integrated Reading and Composition, and Group Investigation. The third section is devoted to implementation of cooperative learning, and the fourth section highlights the idea of schools as caring communities developed through group work. The sixth section provides ideas on how to get started, and the seventh section summarizes controversies among various researchers. The final section presents articles on the collaborative school, focusing on developing teacher collegiality, cooperative professional development, and school improvement efforts. The volume ends with an extensive annotated bibliography divided into nine parts. (MLH)

RealTime Physics Active Learning Laboratories, Module 1

Mechanics

The authors of RealTime Physics - David Sokoloff, Priscilla Laws, and Ron Thornton - have been pioneers in the revolution of the physics industry. In this edition, they provide a set of labs that utilize modern lab technology to provide hands-on information, as well as an empirical look at several new key concepts. They focus on the teaching/learning issues in the lecture portion of the course, as well as logistical lab issues such as space, class size, staffing, and equipment maintenance. Issues similar to those in the lecture have to with preparation and willingness to study.

You will first develop an idea of a force as a push or a pull. You will learn how to
measure forces. By applying forces to a cart and observing the nature of its
resulting motion graphically with a motion detector, you will come to understand
the effects of forces on motion. INVESTIGATION 1: MEASURING FORCES In this
investigation you will explore. • To find a mathematical relationship between the
force applied to an object and its acceleration. • spring scale with a maximum
