"Memory, Recall, the Brain &amp; Learning" provides over 40 proven, practical, and easy to implement activities and 35 organizers to encourage your students to become engaged in the learning process while in your classroom. Brain research has evidenced unprecedented levels of attention in education and learning endeavors. We have come to understand that "learning" is not merely an exercise in storing information for artificially engineered tests. Our interest and intent have evolved to encompass the notions of recall, long-term memory, and applications - not to mention life-long learning habits. Our goal in teaching and learning must be to create environments and conditions in which learners are more likely to make greater attempts at processing sufficiently for understanding and application, resulting in increased long-term memory. This book seeks to explore in detail a vital aspect of learning and the brain that supports the acquisition of sustained understanding. This book merges brain science research and educational best practice. Two profound works underpin the foundation for the strategies provided - Dr. Barbara Given's work on the natural learning systems of the brain and Marzano, Pickering, and Pollock review of the nine most effective educational strategies leading to student achievement.

The purpose of this book is to provide today's teachers with tools THAT WORK for today's students. But even more importantly, this book provides teachers with a condensed version of best practice research in a PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK for classroom success, unit-by-unit. We have heard from many teachers who have field-tested this design with their own reluctant learners, that it is a doable format where both the teacher and the student feel more successful. Teachers know that in the reality of their teaching lives - their plates are overflowing. Local and state requirements compete with a multitude of demands for the little discretionary time available, if any. Classrooms are overflowing with more and more non-prepared, non-engaged kids. There is simply no time for anything non-essential. Still, everyday in American schools, teachers are field testing a lesson and figuring out on the drive home after school how to do it better tomorrow. Embedded in this book are strategies, activities, examples, and a framework for units that will improve student motivation and performance. The goal is to engage the brain and the heart of today's student.

This is the essay that started it all. Powerful, poetic and practical. The Servant as Leader describes some of the characteristics and activities of servant-leaders, providing examples which show that individual efforts, inspired by vision and a servant ethic, can make a substantial difference in the quality of society. Greenleaf discusses the skills necessary to be a servant-leader; the importance of awareness, foresight and listening; and the contrasts between coercive, manipulative, and persuasive power. A must-read.

A must-read for all trustees and directors who would venture to become powerful forces in regenerating trust. This essay seeks to address the needs of senior executives for sustained, caring (but demanding) assistance from able trustees. Drawing on a lifetime of experience in institutions, Greenleaf addresses the ambiguity of the trustee role and offers ideas on how each trustee group can claim its rightful functions.

Trustees as Servants

During the last decade, we have witnessed an unparalleled explosion of interest in the practice of "servant-leadership," as today's business leaders search for a new leadership model for the 21st century. Based on the seminal work of Robert K. Greenleaf, a former AT&T executive who coined the term almost 30 years ago, servant-leadership emphasizes an emerging approach to leadership―one which puts serving others, including employees, customers, and community, first. In fact, Greenleaf's work, including his bestselling Servant-Leadership, has become increasingly popular since his death in 1990 and continues to inspire a growing movement of people and organizations concerned with issues of leadership, management, service, and spirit.The Power of Servant Leadership  is a collection of nine of Greenleaf's most compelling essays on servant-leadership. These essays, published together in one volume for the first time, contain many of Greenleaf's best insights into the nature and practice of servant-leadership and show his continual refinement of the servant-as-leader concept. In addition, several of the essays focus on the related issues of spirit, commitment to vision, and wholeness.
