A MUST HAVE for Classroom Teachers.......2006-03-23

This book provides an extraordinary framework for differrentiated curriculum in a way that is immediately useful in the classroom. Strategies, forms, etc. in the book can also be adapted to aid in the differentiation of curriculum for all students -- ELL, gifted, special education -- you name it. As a teacher of gifted students, if I could have only one book, this would be it!!!

Differentiation DOESN't Mean Overwhelming! .......2005-06-04

This is a fabulous resource on differentiation strategies for multiple grade levels and subject areas. There are so many wonderful reproducibles and activities that are easy to build into your existing planning. This text is easy to read, and NOT at all overwhelming as some texts on classroom differentiation strategies.

I love this book and I'm careful about letting it get too far away from my classroom for too long when a colleague asks to see it.

This book has been an indispensible resource for dealing with the challenge of what to do with advanced students. It provides you/them with opportunities for meaningful work...not more work, just different (and better for them) work. Virtually all of the strategies work for all students, not just advanced students, and when I've gotten feedback from my freshman English students about the differentiated lessons/strategies/activities we do throughout the year, the feedback is generally very positive and definitely appreciated.

I would recommend this book not only to other educators, but to parents as well (there's a resource in it for parents as well). Parents---this would be a great book to donate/buy for the school (and have an adminstrator or media specialist let the faculty know it's there) or as a gift for your child's teacher.

Book Description

This book presents teaching from three specific actions, Organizing, Instructing, and Assessing, and is divided into three sections which reflect each of these teaching actions. The strategies presented in each section are truly universal in nature; they cut across grade levels, subject areas, and teaching situations. The book emphasizes Context, Content, and Learner as essential elements in the decision-making process. This book bridges the gap between theory, research, and practice with clear and effective writing, and a framework that combines the context, content, and learner with what teachers need in the real world: organizing, instructing, and assessing. Universal Teaching Strategies expands both the pedagogical teaching knowledge of teachers and their instructional repertoires. For the continuing education of pre-service and in-service teachers.

Satisfied buyer.......2007-10-18

I purchased this textbook new at a good price. I received free shipping and the book arrived sooner than I expected. This is a great book for anyone who is currently in, or entering the education field. It has lots of helpful information. I am very pleased with the way the information is presented.

This book helped learn about myself and about my teaching ability.......2007-03-05

For me, the most helpful part about this book is the chapter that has you audio tape a 20 minute teaching session. It gives you a step-by-step guide on what to analyze and suggestions for improvement. For example, I always thought I was a positive, upbeat person, but when I had to count how many positive statements I made to the students, they were surprisingly low. Also, I didn't even use their names!

This book gave me several more realizations about my teaching (more than most educational books I've read), which I believe has been invaluable for me on my journey to growing as a teacher AND a person.

I also took Dr. Freiburg's class at the University of Houston, and I really enjoyed it and would recommend his book and class to anyone.

not too great.......2006-05-15

As is the problem with most educational texts, so much of the material is common sense. You'll find yourself wondering, is this research? The book is well-organized and covers many topics, but no earth-shattering material is presented.

Easy to read, effective, and invaluable to ALL teachers.......1997-12-05

This book is an excellent guide for not only teachers of all subject areas but is an invaluable guide for parents that are concerned with educational lingo. The book is easy to read due to chapter layouts; pointing out critical attributes that make education effective in a logical manner. Parents can read/learn strategies that will help their children (of all ages).

Book Description

Based on the hotly contested television industry, the Global Business Game is an adventure in strategic management and international business. Students take over management of a television manufacturer that is now under attack from many competitors and confronting consumer demands for higher quality levels and features. They must make marketing, financial and production decisions that affect among other things: the perceived quality of goods, shareholder value, and bottom-line profits. As students decide whether or not to enter new markets or develop new products, they have the option of conducting various market research studies. These exercises will challenge students and serve them for years to come as they practice in the new-world economy.

Solid business simulation.......2006-02-14

I've used this simulation for several years. You really have to dig into it to fully understand how it works and there are some warts in the game. The trip is worthwhile, however, in terms of student learning of diverse topics from financial accounting to logistics. Playing the game takes a lot effort out of the instructor - but I think it is worth it in the end.

You must understand this to use it!.......2002-12-07

I must disagree with the other reviewer! I use this simulation in my class and it works very well. However, it isn't simple and the base documentation isn't the best. The software is quite robust. The complexity of the simulation means this isn't just a game in which you can casually drop in some figures and see what happens - each team needs to spend at least 8 hours preparing and then about 2 hours deciding each set of moves! The reward is in simulation that faithfully reproduces and simplifies competitive and global forces.

NOTE - this software is totally useless to you unless it is offered as part of a class. You need at lest three teams AND the special administrator software only available to teaching professionals.

Avoid at all costs!.......2001-11-14

As a project in one of my MBA classes, we had to make 8 decisions in this "simulation" game. Over the semester, I have grown to hate the game and the book. The biggest problem with the game is that it is too rigid and does not mirror real life. The problem with the book itself is that it does not contain any information to assist you in making decision. There are also some misprints in the book as well. Avoid this book if you can, and if you can't, I wish you the best of luck!

Book Description

Private-sector collective bargaining in the United States is under siege. Many factors have contributed to this situation, including the development of global markets, a continuing antipathy toward unions by managers, and the declining effectiveness of strikes. This volume examines collective bargaining in eight major industries—airlines, automobile manufacturing, health care, hotels and casinos, newspaper publishing, professional sports, telecommunications, and trucking—to gain insight into the challenges the parties face and how they have responded to those challenges.

The authors suggest that collective bargaining is evolving differently across the industries studied. While the forces constraining bargaining have not abated, changes in the global environment, including new security considerations, may create opportunities for unions. Across the industries, one thing is clear—private-sector collective bargaining is rapidly changing.

Book Description

This valuable new book provides quality improvement teams, and their leaders, with a comprehensive set of tools and techniques to solve problems and improve processes in their organizations. The book offers experienced teams instruction on more advanced, less frequently used tools as well as provides detailed guidelines on the basic tools for newly formed teams. The seven quality tools, seven management tools, and an additional 20 tools and techniques have also been incorporated into this title. Both the service and manufacturing industries and environments will find the applications useful. Each tool and technique includes sections that describe the tool, key points in using it, typical applications, an example, and steps in using the tool.

Customer Reviews:

brief, good coverage of graphing and statistics.......2007-06-30

Swanson gives practical guidelines to anyone interested in running a quality improvement program. Many checklists are supplied. Often accompanied by top-down flowcharts. Jargon is explained.

And for those people without a strong maths background, there is an entire chapter on how to analyse and display data. It describes the most basic display graph types, like bar, pie, histogram, scatterplot and control charts. Along with the specialised but important Gantt chart for coordinating a project.

There is also a short discussion of statistical techniques. But if you find this useful, I would encourage you to then consult a fully fledged book dedicated to statistics. Swanson's coverage is necessarily miminal.

Practical and Useful.......2001-08-24

This textbook was required reading for a Masters Program. Consequently, I didn't purchase because I wanted to, I purchased because I had too. With that in mind, I found this to be probably the most useful textbook I purchased during my entire course of study. The writing was clear and easy to understand and the practical applications were limitless. I highly recommend this book to anyone attempting to "run" a quality improvement program effectively and efficiently.
