نویسندگان: Pat Thomson خلاصه: Who doesn’t want to have a stress-free life? To have brilliant ideas? Toimprove? To enjoy free time? But how can we achieve these goals? Oftenfrequent interruptions, overlapping activities, and impending deadlinesprevent us from the best intentions. In fact, stressful factors like theseare harmful to us; they trigger more stress, compulsive behavior, anddiscontinuity, and they reduce our consciousness, concentration, andclear-minded thinking. The mind ends up wandering forward and back-ward in time, looking for someone or something to blame for our imag-ined inability.The Pomodoro Technique that I’ve developed aims to make us stop,observe, regain awareness, and, in doing so, improve ourselves. Time,rather than being a stress-inducing factor, becomes our ally in keepingthe mind 100 percent focused on the present with no stress and nostrain. With my Pomodoro Technique, you’ll learn to reach your goalsby being strong, instead of exerting strength, and doing so with a smile.Staffan is a serious practitioner of the Pomodoro Technique. I’ve beenworking for many years with people and groups that want to improvetheir working processes and optimize their time through the PomodoroTechnique, and I can say that Staffan’s work is proof of his ability andimagination.

Electricity And Magnetism: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It - PDF
نویسندگان: William C. Robertson خلاصه: Shocked by static? Mixed up about magnets? Curious about currents? This book will help you get beyond memorizing electricity-related formulas, rules, and procedures so you can understand the topic at a deep level deep enough to teach it with confidence and comfort. By covering the basics of static electricity, current electricity, and magnetism, the book develops a scientific model showing that electricity and magnetism are really the same phenomenon in different forms. A bonus feature: access to interactive software that you can download from the NSTA Web site. The software will help you investigate electrical circuits from simple to complex without having to buy a lot of expensive materials (or risking electrocution!). Electricity and Magnetism is the fifth title in the award-winning NSTA Press Stop Faking It! Series. As author Bill Robertson writes, The book you have in your hands is not a textbook. It is, however, designed to help you get science at a level you never thought possible, and also to bring you to the point where tackling more traditional science resources won t be a terrifying, lump-in-your-throat, I-don t-think-I ll-survive experience. Robertson serves as your friendly guide, one with a comforting knack for anticipating fears, meeting information needs, and entertaining as he edifies.

The Mentee's Guide: Making Mentoring Work for You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Lois J. Zachary, Lory A. Fischler خلاصه: MY CONNECTION to mentoring began before I was born. My maiden namewas actually Menter (pronounced the same as mentor), so perhaps it wasnot coincidental that my work focuses on mentoring. What is certain is thatmy introduction to mentoring began as a Menter.My mother seemed to be everyone’s informal mentor. She was a leaderin a host of community organizations, and people would frequently callon her to share her leadership secrets, bolster their confidence, and sup-port their good intentions. Sometimes she would be gentle, sometimes a bitstern, but she always balanced candor and compassion. Those who wereprivileged to call her “Mentor Menter” knew that she was there for themand believed in them and the power of their possibilities. To this day wehear stories of how enduring her impact had been and how, in her ownspecial way, she didn ’ t transform those she mentored but helped themtransform themselves.My personal mentoring stories are many. I marvel at how my mentorsraised the bar for me, modeled the way, pushed me beyond my person-ally defined limits, encouraged me to enlarge my thinking, and believedin me even when I was unsure of myself. I was grateful for their time,their stories, and their commitment to my growth. I recall one mentor inparticular who always seemed to open doors of possibility for me. Shesaw something in me I didn’t see in myself. To be honest, I was sure thatI was going to be overwhelmed as each door opened, but with her sup-port I was able to rise to the challenge, consolidate the learning, and moveonto the next one. Before I knew it, I had developed competencies that I’ dnever imagined. Another mentor stood alongside me as I took on a majorleadership role in my community. He was there to support me, help methrough the political minefields, and make sure I kept the big picture at theforefront of my thinking.Preface
