La calidad se ha convertido en la diana del pensamiento pedagógico: una educación para todos y a unos niveles cada vez más elevados. Pero esto requiere conseguir la máxima eficacia y eficiencia en los sistemas educativos. Una escuela será equitativa si es eficaz, si por su buen funcionamiento contribuye a compensar las diferencias socioeconómicas y socioculturales, y si propicia que la calidad llegue a todos. Estos objetivos de calidad y mejora de la enseñanza sólo se logran mediante la cualificación del profesorado, la programación docente, los recursos, la innovación, la orientación educativa y profesional, y la evaluación del sistema de educación. En esta obra han participado especialistas de reconocido prestigio en Calidad de la Educación, que han dedicado muchos años a profundizar en este campo y a llevar a la práctica sus conocimientos, y que ha sabido conjugar armónicamente el saber con el saber hacer.

Within this defended city, business, nightlife, and public space thrived at the expense of the greater metropolis. The book puts forth a new approach to the study of emotion and provides tangible evidence of how quickly fear worsens inequality beyond Mexico and the "war on drugs."
Here is an authoritative reference work that makes biographies of prominent Mexican national politicians from the period 1884–1934 available in English. Like the author's biographical directory for the years 1935–2009, it draws on many years of research in Mexico and the United States and seeks not only to provide accurate biographical information about each entry but also, where possible and appropriate, to connect these politicians to more recent leadership generations. Thus, Mexican Political Biographies, 1884-1934 not only is a useful historical source but also provides additional information on the family backgrounds of many contemporary figures. The work includes those figures who ...
