This book helps those aspiring toward recovery and wellness and also those in recovery, because it addresses and challenges the individual - in very real, basic and honest ways - to make significant cognitive adjustments in how they live their lives. The beauty of this curriculum is that people like to do it and don't consider it a chore, a demand, or a requirement, because every page subtly encourages the individual to think in realistic and forward-moving ways. This allows them to feel good about doing the work. This book is for any person who struggles with their mental health and who wants to live a happier life as well as for any person who wants to improve their quality of life, how they deal with stress, obstacles, difficulties and other people and live a happier, healthy and much more stable life. I based this book on my personal life and recovery, and every page has been used successfully in peer group settings.
Análisis de los datos de una evaluación nacional del rendimiento académico es el cuarto de cinco volúmenes de la serie Evaluaciones nacionales del rendimiento académico. Otros volúmenes han descrito los procedimientos de una evaluación hasta llegar a la fase de preparación de los datos para su análisis estadístico, el tema del presente volumen. Los análisis precisos que se lleven a cabo dependerán de las necesidades de información de los responsables políticos y los gestores educativos. En la mayoría de las evaluaciones nacionales, estas necesidades tienen que ver con la calidad del aprendizaje estudiantil, los factores relacionados con el aprendizaje, las cuestiones de equidad, y en algunos casos, la transformación de los resultados educativos con el paso del tiempo. El volumen 4, que consta de dos partes, explica detalladamente los pasos necesarios para el análisis de los datos recopilados en una evaluación nacional. La 1.ª parte ofrece una introducción general a los análisis estadísticos llevados a cabo normalmente en las evaluaciones a gran escala, midiendo la tendencia central y la dispersión de los puntajes de los alumnos, así como las relaciones entre variables. La 2.ª parte describe el programa IATA (Item and Test Analysis), que utiliza la Teoría Clásica de las Pruebas y la Teoría de Respuesta al à?tem para establecer escalas sobre las que determinar los puntajes de los alumnos. Se describe en detalle los pasos del análisis de las administraciones de las pruebas piloto y las pruebas definitivas. Un CD complementario contiene ejercicios especialmente diseñados y ficheros de datos de respaldo para ambas partes del volumen. Este libro será de interés para los especialistas en evaluaciones en gobiernos nacionales, regionales y locales, instituciones de investigación y universidades.
From FirehousePublications.com comes the elementary version of our bestselling book, The Art Student's Workbook. This elementary version was created by a 20+ year certified veteran teacher and curriculum writer for classes in drawing, painting and sculpture designed for grades three through eight. The lessons are broad and easily adjusted to accommodate different grade levels, special needs students, and material appropriate for many environments from the school classroom, or home based instruction, to a fine arts camp program. It includes nearly three years worth of lesson ideas in painting, drawing, sculpture, and clay, project samples, vocabulary, worksheets, sample tests, research paper samples, grading rubrics, sketch and note taking pages, and short creative five minute writing assignments, critiquing pages, and daily closure statements to meet district observational requirements. This book is also a helpful aid in fulfilling State and Federal accommodation requirements (504/ IEP) by providing special needs students additional documented and written material that may be taken home. Every lesson is designed to be personal and expressive fine art. There are NO "crafty" projects or "cookie-cutter" lessons where everyone has the same outcome. This book stresses a "divergent thinking processes" approach and creative problem solving, with an art therapy undertone. Most lesson suggestions may be done in different media to work within tight budgets. Anecdotal evidence from the author's guidance department indicates that students who take this course with this workbook are 50% less likely to fail standardized testing. These are real numbers that can grab the attention of your administration and Board of Education if you have the same results. These lessons combine information from core curriculum and merge it with fine art. Art is the meeting place for all subjects. When we grid-we use geometry. When we make sculptures-we use engineering. When we mix colors-we reveal information about physics. When we create illustrations for stories-we learn about literature. When we review the styles of art from da Vinci to Warhol-we teach history. Students not only come to understand the concepts, but use them, and manipulate them for deeper understanding on multiple sensory levels of thinking. This workbook is divided by multicurricula units so that this concrete connection to academic "core courses" is more easily seen. ALL projects are designed to have successful divergent results, incorporate creative problem solving, and bring relevant connections to students' lives. This book is built for student success on many levels from gifted to challenged. This in turn is helpful in fulfilling mandated accommodations so that no child is left behind. We recommend that you pair this book with the student edition of the same name. For those that teach in middle or high school, find our other title, "The Art Student's Workbook."
