An Ethic of Excellence
The author gives us a vision of educational reform that transcends standards, curriculum, and instructional strategies. He argues for a paradigm shift-a schoolwide embrace of an "ethic of excellence" and with a passion for quality describes what's possible when teachers, students, and parents commit to nothing less than the best. The author tells exactly how this can be done, from the blackboard to the blacktop to the school boardroom.
Learning That Lasts
A practical guide to deeper instruction—a framework for challenging, engaging, and empowering students of all ages For schools to meet ambitious new standards and prepare all students for college, careers, and life, research has shown unequivocally that nothing is more important that the quality of daily instruction. Learning That Lasts presents a new vision for classroom instruction that sharpens and deepens the quality of lessons in all subject areas. It is the opposite of a 'teacher-proof' solution. Instead, it is predicated on a model of instruction that honors teachers as creative and expert planners of learning experiences for their students and who wish to continuously grow in their...
Drama Queers!
Ever since Mrs. Malloy assigned us the What I Want To Be When I Grow Up paper earlier that year in her 1st hour English, my mind had been made up. . . I, Bradley James Dayton, will be a famous actor someday! Meet Bradley Dayton--a wickedly funny high school senior whose woefully uncool life always seems to be full of drama, even in the sorry little suburb of Hazel Park, Michigan. It's 1987, the era of big hair, designer jeans, and Dirty Dancing. George Michael has "Faith" and Michael Jackson still has a nose. Brad, on the other hand, has a thing for acting, and while his friends are trying to get laid, Brad's trying to land the lead in Okla-homo! and practicing the Jane Seymour monologue fro...

Toll Road Traffic and Revenue Forecasts
Toll roads, bridges and tunnels represent the most popular class of infrastructure attracting international private finance today. Many deals, however, expose financiers, insurers and other project counterparties to demand risk. This moves traffic and revenue forecasts centre-stage in terms of being able to understand and test the investment proposition - yet the forecasting process itself often remains a mystery. Additionally, there are frequent concerns about predictive reliability. Written specifically for credit analysts, investors and other professionals whose primary expertise lies outside transportation, this book lifts the lid on the 'black box' of traffic and revenue forecasting. The author, Robert Bain (ex-S&P and a civil engineer with 20+ years of forecasting experience) has prepared a straightforward guide which highlights key issues to watch for and suggests ways in which the forecasts can be analysed to improve transparency and investor understanding.
The Insights Revolution: Questioning Everything
The insights industry is in trouble. It's not growing, despite an explosion of information, decreasing costs and an increase in the need for informed decision making. And it still does not have real influence in the boardroom. It is too often focused on what happened, and not on where to go and what to do next. It focuses on methodology instead of decision making. And it is gathering its data from people it treats like chattel, which leads to results being unreliable if not downright wrong. This book takes a problem/solution approach; it is organized into chapters which shine an uncomfortable light on all too familiar practices before suggesting a better way forward. The book is fueled by interviews with insights professionals, marketers and strategists from around the world, including people from organizations like Coca-Cola, Discovery Channel, Estée Lauder, ESOMAR, Facebook, Intel, Pfizer, PwC, Sunovion, Telstra, Twitter, Virgin Australia, U.S. Bank, Visa, Warner Bros, and World Vision.

Includes everything teachers...
Summary of Rob Berger's Retire Before Mom and Dad
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The world has blinded us from the truth about money and happiness. In the movie The Matrix, the illusion that the world was normal was created by the Matrix. In our world, the deception we’ve come to believe about money and happiness comes from many sources. #2 The world tells us that the average person can’t achieve Financial Freedom. Unless you make a six-figure salary, are born into money, or win the lottery, you can forget about becoming a millionaire or attaining Financial Freedom. #3 If we believe Lie #2, we don’t see Financial Freedom as a goal worth pursuing. We’ll never reach the goal, and we’ll be too old to enjoy it once we do. But Lie #2 doesn’t see Financial Freedom as a destination decades away. It sees it as a journey that can begin very early on. #4 The world tells us that true happiness is expensive. The American dream requires a big house, two fancy cars, and world travel. Without this stuff, we’re not living life to the fullest.
Band Fags!
"Ever since I first heard that Lionel Richie and Diana Ross song, 'Endless Love,' all I've wanted is to find The One. Someone to love. Who will love me back." September, 1982. John Cougar's "Jack and Diane" is on endless radio rotation, and Dallas and Dynasty rule the ratings.

The only thing he has in common with foul-mouthed Brad Dayton, who lives on the gritty south side near 8 Mile, is that both are in Varsity Band. Or maybe that's not the only thing. Because Jack is discovering that while hanging around with girls in elementa...
