Autor: Boris Handal

Número de Páginas: 271

Eve Nicklin fue una de las primeras pioneras bahá' ís estadounidenses en establecerse en Sudamérica. Pasó cinco décadas de su vida enseñando la Fe bahái. Durante ese período se estableció en doce ciudades en seis países de América del Sur. Eve, una educadora talentosa, atrajo a la Fe a personas de todos los ámbitos de la vida, desde campesinos a profesores universitarios, ya fuera el ciudadano de a pie o el dignatario de una ciudad o país, personas pobres y personas ricas, tanto jóvenes como mayores. Cada vez que se necesitaba que alguien se estableciera en el extremo más austral y helado del continente o en el corazón mismo de las montañas de los Andes, Eve fue siempre la primera en aceptar con alegría el llamado. Su vida se caracterizó por su profunda e indubitable creencia de que las enseñanzas bahá'ís eran el medio para transformar a los individuos y a las sociedades con el fin de lograr la unidad de los seres humanos, la paz entre pueblos y naciones y el desarrollo de una civilización en constante progreso.

It uses a cross-institutional approach and focuses on local communities that educational providers interact with, to highlight and discuss the issues identified in various case studies.

Muhammad: Profeta De Dios

Autor: Boris Handal

Número de Páginas: 160

Este libro trata sobre la Fe de Mahoma. El autor, como seguidor de Bahá'u'lláh, se declara un creyente de Mahoma y cree que esto hace una diferencia en la obra por cuanto siente que a diferencia de otros trabajos, puede trasmitir, aun con limitaciones pero liberado de prejuicios religiosos, el espíritu dejado por Él a través de su Revelación escrita. El material que se presenta trata de ceñirse lo más cercanamente posible al texto del Corán, iluminado éste por las enseñanzas de la Fe Bahá'í. Es de entenderse que el Corán mismo es un universo insondable; mientras más nos esforzamos en entenderlo, más verdades hemos de descubrir, y así el camino de la búsqueda nunca se agota.

Academic Migration, Discipline Knowledge and Pedagogical Practice

Autor: Colina Mason , Felicity Rawlings-sanaei

Número de Páginas: 233

This volume makes a distinctive and innovative contribution to the globalisation of higher education literature by highlighting the myriad benefits of academic migration. Sixteen academic migrants across the Asia-Pacific region reflect on their experiences and wisdom gained across geographical, cultural and disciplinary domains. Each one provides an authentic account of ways in which their experiences and insights have benefited their host institutions and enhanced their pedagogical practice. The groundbreaking volume calls for a shift in academic culture – one in which academic migrants are respected for their cultural, social and intellectual resources, their enhanced interpretive ability and their capacity to view the world through multiple lenses. Are these not the characteristics of educators which universities seek in their efforts to internationalise their institutions and develop in their students an understanding of global citizenship? The volume forges new territory in articulating the relationship between academic migrants, conceptual understanding and the construction of knowledge. The following themes are addressed in this book: Migration of Ideas, Conceptual...

No Child Left Behind

Autor: William Hayes

Número de Páginas: 208

While few would quarrel with the goal of the No Child Left Behind legislation, the nation is badly divided over whether the law is having a positive effect on our schools. At the same time, it is also true that most Americans, including many professional educators, have only a limited understanding of the content and scope of the legislation. As we are currently engaged in a national debate about the future role of the federal government in the field of education, it is essential that people become better informed about the history, content, and results of No Child Left Behind. This book is a valuable tool informing the current discussion on the reauthorization of the law. As a result, the reader will be better able to make up his own mind as to the direction we should take as a nation in pursuing the noble objective of ensuring that no child is left behind.

Autor: Ondine Jayne Bradbury , Daniela Acquaro

Número de Páginas: 160

This book showcases models of Australian school–university partnerships which, in their development, respond to, and aim to move beyond the principles and practices of current partnership mandates in initial teacher education. Supported by government policy, these partnerships reveal innovative ways of working across multiple stakeholder groups within a range of unique school-university partnership contexts. Each of the examples of school-university partnerships within this edited collection provide insights into the power and potential of cross-sectoral vision, collaboration and growth, drawing upon research evidence and impact data that points to the mutual benefits experienced by all stakeholders. Across its ten chapters, this book explores various examples of partnerships, and forms an important reference for all initial teacher education providers, schools, and educational stakeholders; as school–university partnerships necessitate the way these sectors connect, learn from one another, and inform future practice.

Familias empresarias y grandes empresas familiares en América Latina y España

Autor: Paloma Fernández Pérez , Andrea Lluch

Número de Páginas: 473

Son numerosos los libros y artículos que analizan las claves del éxito de las familias empresarias y grupos familiares que perduran en el tiempo, si bien la gran mayoría de los negocios registrados como empresas desaparecen en dos generaciones. Aunque esos datos pudieran hacer pensar en el fracaso de este tipo de empresas, a través del estudio de los mayores negocios familiares de ocho países de América Latina y España a lo largo de más de un siglo, esta obra pone de manifiesto que las familias empresarias desaparecen de una empresa y surgen en otras continuando con la actividad a lo largo de décadas en un continuo proceso de adaptación, diversificándose en sectores que presentan mayores expectativas de rentabilidad o seguridad, alterando para ello la denominación jurídica de los negocios, el organigrama o los esquemas de gobierno. Con la metodología propia de la historia empresarial que combina archivos públicos y privados, entrevistas con un enfoque interdisciplinar, y con la participación de veintidós especialistas de once países, este libro revela que en América Latina y España son las familias empresarias, a través de empresas independientes o grupos, la...
