Personal Effectiveness in Project Management:
Soft skills are hard. Most project managers are comfortable with the “hard” skills that their profession requires: planning, budgeting, procurement, quality, risk, execution, human resources, monitoring and control. They are typically less familiar with the human behaviors behind the hard skills... the “soft” human factors that are actually the key drivers of project success...and failure. In Personal Effectiveness in Project Management, project manager and professor Dr. Zachary A. Wong provides readers with the tools and techniques that not only help them improve their personal performance, but that of their project teams as well.World Rights Available

Flip Your ClassroomReach Every Student in Every Class Every Day
What if your homework was to watch your teacher’s lecture online—and do your actual homework in the classroom? That’s exactly what happens in “flipped classrooms,” where teachers post lectures online as homework so students can utilize class time to go over individual problems with the teacher’s help (rather than struggle at home). In Flip Your Classroom, two high school chemistry teachers provide a window into a flipped classroom that was driven by a simple question: “What is best for my students?” This innovative approach was initially identified to help students struggling because of missed classes or slower learning styles, but it has proven effective for many more. This book chronicles the authors’ journey from their first shaky steps at trying to “flip” their classrooms to their current “best practices so far.”

The NSTA Reader’s Guide to The Next Generation Science Standards
Not since the 2011 release of A Framework for K-12 Science Education has a document held such promise and significance for the science education community as does the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The NGSS aims to better prepare students for the rigor of career and college-level scientific study by stressing the importance and integration of the three dimensions: science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts. They will provide for a more integrated and cohesive approach to science instruction, leading to a more scientifically literate citizenry.
Translating the NGSS for Classroom Instruction
With the release of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), educators need a resource to help answer pressing questions about how the standards fit with curriculum, instruction, and assessments. Rodger W. Bybee has written Translating the NGSS for Classroom Instruction to provide essential guidance for everyone from teachers to school administrators. As practical as it is timely, this book includes an introduction to NGSS; examples of the standards translated to classroom instruction in elementary, middle, and high school; and assistance in adapting current units of instruction to align with the standards.

That's why this title is a must-read for leaders at all levelsfor those educator responsible for STEM initiatives, college and university faculty who educate future STEM teachers, local administrators who make decisions about district and school programs, and teachers who represent STEM disciplines.

As he begins to discover the interesting rocks all around him, Spenser has many questions about what he finds. Given the differences in the rocks’ colors, sizes, shapes, and textures, there is much to learn about rocks! But that’s not all the curious child learns in this tale of discovery. Spenser’s fascination grows as he sorts and re-sorts his rock collection and asks questions about what he observes. For Spenser—as well as young readers—the experience is an engaging introduction to scientific procedures such as classification and research.
Take a world tour between the covers of a book! Environments of Our Earth guides children through six types of regions that are shaped by rainfall—or the lack thereof. Readers take a journey that starts with dense tropical rainforests and woodlands, travels through grassy savannas and prairies, and ends at dry steppes and deserts. Throughout the book, attentive readers can compare how and why each region is alike and different. They will also discover fun facts about the wettest and driest places on Earth and the amazing effect rainfall has on plants, animals, and people.

Successful Education
Powerful and important, this new paradigm in education proposes that educators take a leading role in the molding and mentoring of students’ creativity, especially in engineering. Today’s students are pushed through standards and common core with little attention to what allows for new inventions and great thinking—the latitude to be creative. Combined with years’ of experience in engineering and focused on STEM-related education needs, Successful Education: How to Educate Creative Engineers is the best resource for gaining competitive edge and moving education over the tipping point.
Dr. Tomasz Arciszewski and Successful Education are on a global mission to
promote educating creative engineers, who in addition to the traditional
engineering knowledge will be prepared to become, when desired, inventors
and leaders. He is doing it through his writings, seminars for instructors and
academic administrators, and through regular lectures for students on
Inventive Engineering, which he already taught on three continents.

“This terrific book brings together the intentionality of good design with the science of motivation to help leaders create better workplaces. The synergy is extraordinary.”
—Dan Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
It’s no secret.
People are amazing. And cranky. And
courageous. And fearful. And unpredictable.
And funny. And stuck in a rut. And driven to
be great. Highly talented and deeply flawed.
Tough to manage, but easy to love.
What is a secret, though, is how leaders can
learn to inspire and transform these amazing
and complex people into productive, highly
engaged teams.
Join leadership expert Lisa Haneberg as
she presents a compelling model for creating
accountability and engagement–with grit and,
surprisingly, love at its heart. She reveals 11
practical and profound secrets to help you
hone your leadership practices to cultivate
excellence and build performance velocity in
your teams. Trade Paper Edition 6 x 9 | 180 pages | $16.95Publication Date: April 2014ISBN 13: 978-1-939247-04-9 Available for purchase through Amazon, KindleInternational Distribution: www.eurospanbookstore.com
