Book Description
Comprehension instruction is widely recognized as an essential component of developing students' pleasure and profit from reading. Yet despite significant recent gains in knowledge about how comprehension develops and how it can be taught effectively, classroom practice still lags behind research in this crucial area. This volume brings together the field's leading scholars to summarize current research and provide best-practice guidelines for teachers and teacher educators. Each coherently structured chapter presents key findings on a particular aspect of comprehension, discusses instructional practices supported by the research, and addresses what still needs to be known in order to provide the best possible comprehension instruction for every student. Topics covered include assessment, curriculum, methods, and comprehension difficulties, from the preschool level through high school.

Book Description
Business-driven action learning addresses the need for more creative and accountable approaches to learning and earning demanded by the pace of change in business life. This volume shows how it is accomplished through detailed descriptions of how businesses have designed, facilitated and implemented the method.
Book Description
Clinical Work and Social Action: An Integrative Approach develops a paradigm for social work and human services practice that integrates clinical work and social action.
Social workers, clinicians, activists, and educators will explore ways to create harmony in the divisions that currently exist between values, theory, and practice, thereby reducing conflicts in their work. This book identifies central values and selected theoretical ideas for a new model of work that you can adapt to your practice setting.
Separate chapters include case material related to work with people of color, work with oppressed populations, and classroom teaching. Clinical Work and Social Action connects the historic split between clinical work and social action to better serve the people with whom you work.
Through Clinical Work and Social Action, you will find valuable suggestions and insights into how you can integrate values, theory, and practice as the basis for a new model of work. The book includes topics such as:
exposing the myth that "politics" has no place in practice with individual clients and families and demonstrates that all practice is political
examining a new paradigm for practice that encourages change at the individual, agency, and social policy levels
demonstrating the importance of Paulo Freire's ideas about dialogical praxis to social welfare work
teaching a model of practice that facilitates and promotes involvement and open dialogue with people in the community and students in the classroom
offering insight into how you can respond to the full range of your clients' concerns, such as racism, classism, homophobia, domestic violence, homelessness, disabilities, and emotional difficulties
exploring how your values, theories, training and experience affect the choice of interventions you make with individuals, groups, and families
To bridge the gap between clinical work and social action, you must develop a practice that includes the possibility of social change. With Clinical Work and Social Action, you will find many case studies and examples to help you do just that. This informative book provides you with ways to work with clients to bring about individual and social change and offers strategies for creating change in social agencies and communities.

Customer Reviews:
short and practical.......2001-12-08
This book emphasizes the importance of developing learning organizations and then proceeds to outline a 3 step approach to actually doing so in your own organization. The chapters are very specific and lay out the process so just about anyone could analyze where their organization is to start (the first step), where they'd like to go and how to get there.
For knowledge officers, this book is a must read: it's easy to follow and clearly laid out with enough charts and examples to lead you through the process.
Learning Practices: Assessment and Action for Organizational.......2001-02-10
How to build the learning capability of an organization? Some researchers and consultants describe in details how learning organization should work. They advise to shape an organization according to their prescription. Approach presented by Dr. Anthony DiBella in his book is different. The first step in developing learning capability of a team or a company is to assess how it learns. After that we will be able to describe our "best possible" learning profile of the organization and start to make changes. This approach is rooted in OD theory and consulting practice. I would recommend this book becouse it is written for practitioners. DiBella presents very usuful tools to diagnose learning of a team, organization unit or even entire firm or institution. He also describes what to do when we have done our assessment. This book is of high value for people who would like to build or strengten the learning capabilities of an organization or a team.

Use reflective practice to renew your life, enhance your teaching practice, and promote success for your students!
As you reflect on your day, what can be learned about your teaching and leadership practice? When you create space during the week to reflect with your colleagues, in what ways can you share your experiences, successes, challenges, and questions to foster collaborative learning and growth? Reflective practice--individually and with others--counteracts the effects of professional isolation and instills a sense of meaning, renewal, and empowerment in the hectic lives of educators. Insights gained through reflective practice improve teaching and leadership practices that result in enhanced learning and development for students. This book offers a roadmap for reflective practice that presents research-based information and ideas and strategies for engaging in reflective practice alone, with partners, in small groups, and even schoolwide.
Reflective Practice to Improve Schools is the reference tool you need for mastering reflective practice and initiating it in your school. The authors have revamped this second edition to include:
- Additional ideas and strategies for
incorporating individual reflection into your life
- New examples of
reflective practice for administrators
- New examples of
reflective practice for schoolwide implementation
- Greater
reflection for fostering equity and cultural competence
A commitment to reflective practice is a commitment to realizing your potential as educators and human beings, not only human doings.

Practical tips - real world applicability.......2004-09-17
Boiling down all the information about action learning into useful action steps is difficult. Dilworth and Willis managed to accomplish that task, however. The book strikes a balance between prevailing thought / theories and examples of real world application. The language is a bit academic at times; take the time to read the book, though. It's worth the effort.
Perhaps the best book ever written on Action Learning.......2003-02-19
Action Learning is one of the most powerful and most misunderstood developmental tools available to learning professionals today. I feel qualified to say this after reading dozens and dozens of articles and books for the purpose of completing my dissertation on Action Learning. Robert Dilworth and Verna Willis have written a book that shines like a lighthouse through the fog of literature on this elusive subject and I am personally very grateful for their contribution.
