A new paradigm for teachers to open their classrooms and cultivate deep professional learning Teaching is an isolating profession. Most educators receive minimal feedback on their craft, typically limited to one or two short visits from the administrator each year. While some schools do encourage their teachers to observe peers, the usual protocol is for new teachers to watch the veteran, exemplary educators, but those less experienced educators could benefit immensely from having peers observe them in action. Teacher-Driven Observation is unique in that it places the observed teacher as leader of the work, the one who identifies a personal area for development, engages her colleagues in the collection of classroom data, and utilizes the data collected to inform her ongoing instruction. Offers a new model for collecting data to inform and improve individual instruction Includes a step-by-step process for implementing Teacher-Driven Observations Contains a comprehensive case study that clearly demonstrates the value of the Teacher-Driven Observation model This book outlines and illustrates a step-by-step process for breaking down professional isolation and cultivating opportunities for meaningful learning through the Teacher-Driven Observation process.

Mit bewahrt einfachen Experimenten fuhrt Erfolgsautor Georg Schwedt seine Leser diesmal durch die vier Jahreszeiten. Gegenstand der Versuche in seinem neuen Buch sind die jahreszeitlich typischen Pflanzen und ihre naturlichen Inhaltsstoffe. Anschaulicher als mit der bunten Welt der pflanzlichen Farb- und Geschmacksstoffe lasst sich Chemie kaum vermitteln. Obendrein werden auch Aspekte der allgemeinen Botanik und der Heilpflanzenkunde dargestellt. Bei allen Experimenten werden sowohl die Durchfuhrung als auch der naturwissenschaftliche Hintergrund verstandlich erlautert. Die Experimente konnen uberwiegend auch im Freien durchgefuhrt werden, dort wo die Pflanzen wachsen. Die Beschreibung der Experimente ist angereichert mit Informationen zur Kulturgeschichte der einzelnen Pflanzen sowie mit ausgewahlten Gedichten. Damit eignet sich das Buch besonders fur einen spannenden, facherubergreifenden Unterricht. Die wesentlichen Gruppen pflanzlicher Inhaltsstoffe erlautert Georg Schwedt in einem einfuhrenden Kapitel. Lassen auch Sie sich faszinieren von Scharbockskraut und Lowenzahn, Madesu? und Immergrun! Nach einem Chemie-Studium war Georg Schwedt zunachst Abteilungsleiter am Chemischen Untersuchungsamt Hagen, wechselte danach an die Universitat Gottingen und wurde anschlie?end Direktor des Institutes fur Lebensmittelchemie und Analytische Chemie der Universitat Stuttgart. Von 1987 bis 2006 war er Professor fur Anorganische und Analytische Chemie an der TU Clausthal. Georg Schwedt entwickelte das Mitmachlabor SuperLab und ist mit seinen zahlreichen Experimentalvortragen zur Chemie von Supermarktprodukten, historischer Chemie und weiteren Themen bundesweit bekannt. Zweimal wurde er vom Stifterverband der Deutschen Wissenschaft im Forderprogramm Wissenschaft im Dialog ausgezeichnet. Er ist Autor zahlreicher Sach- und Lehrbucher. Bei Wiley-VCH erschienen unter anderem: Was ist wirklich drin? – Produkte aus dem Supermarkt; Vom Tante-Emma-Laden zum Supermarkt – Eine Kulturgeschichte des Einkaufens; Experimente rund ums Kochen, Braten, Backen; Experimente mit Supermarktprodukten – Eine chemische Warenkunde; Chemische Experimente in Schlossern, Klostern und Museen – Aus Hexenkuche und Zauberlabor.

Grounded in solid research, Social Media in the Public Sector explores the myriad uses of social media in the public sector and combines existing practices with theories of public administration, networked governance, and information management. Comprehensive in scope, the book includes best practices, the strategic, managerial, administrative, and procedural aspects of using social media, and explains the theoretical dimensions of how social behavior affects the adoption of social media technologies. Praise for Social Media in the Public Sector «Mergel has produced a foundational work that combines the best kind of scholarship with shoe-leather reporting and anthropology that highlights the debates that government agencies are struggling to resolve and the fruits of their efforts as they embrace the social media revolution. Social Media in the Public Sector is a first and sets a high standard against which subsequent analysis will be measured.» —Lee Rainie, director, Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project «Mergel is an award-winning author who again wields her story skills in this book. She excels in explaining in concrete, practical terms how government managers can use social media to serve the public. Her book puts years of research into one handy guide. It's practical. It's readable. And it's an essential read.» —John M. Kamensky, senior fellow, IBM Center for The Business of Government «Mergel moves beyond the hype with detailed, comprehensive research on social media technologies, use, management, and policies in government. This book should be required reading for researchers and public managers alike.» —Jane Fountain, professor and director, National Center for Digital Government, University of Massachusetts Amherst «Comprehensive and compelling, Social Media in the Public Sector makes the case that to achieve Government 2.0, agencies must first adopt Web 2.0 social technologies. Mergel explains both how and why in this contemporary study of traditional institutions adopting and adapting to new technologies.» —Beth Simone Noveck, United States Deputy Chief Technology Officer (2009-2011)

This book describes the design, detailing and structural engineering of filigree, double-curved and long-span glazed shells of minimal weight and ingenious details. Innovative, clear and understandable geometric principles for the design of double-curved shell structures are explained in a practical manner. The principles are simple to apply with the use of functions now available in most CAD programs. The author demonstrates how floating and homogeneous structures can be created on these «free» forms, particularly grid shells of planar rectangles. These are especially suitable for glazing with flat panes and offer structural, economical and architectural advantages. Examples are provided to illustrate in simple ways the latest methods of form finding calculation and holistic optimisation through the complex interaction of structure, form and topology. Numerous examples built all over the world from 1989 to 2014 offer orientation and assistance in the design of such double-curved shells. Essential design parameters, many details and node connections of constructed projects are presented and evaluated. These structures have been built all over the world in close partnership with renowned architects.
