Description
* What drives school leaders? * What do they do on a day to day basis? * What helps or constrains their decision-making? * What keeps them focused amidst challenges? Rather than applying theory to practice, Exploring School Leadership in England and the Caribbean draws on how school leaders practice and experience their own leadership. Paul Miller draws on case studies from Jamaica and England to explore what it means to be a school leader and explores a wide-range of issues, including accountability, performativity, inclusion and multiculturalism, technology, staffing and resourcing decisions. While no two school leaders will have identical experiences as a school leader, Paul Miller draws on the first-hand accounts of school leaders to show that regardless of school size, type and location there are a number of common experiences and themes. Miller acknowledges that the practice of school leadership is occurring in an uncertain economic environment, buoyed by a fast paced policy context where by targets linked to national economic development are the new normal. He concludes that school leadership is a continuous balancing act driven by and experienced through an ""Economic-motor model"" of schooling- which he proposes.

Bibliography

April of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published, readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed  and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad havent changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosakis international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever.

Milestones 

While there is a milestone  to commemorate  and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important  preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout the book (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents  those who embraced Roberts story and messages 25 years ago  are sharing them with new generations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyones life and their vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances.


People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons weve learned, and celebrate accomplishments and they give meaning to our lifes journey. They are a way that we integrate past, present, and future looking back at where we started, where we are today and the promise of all that the future can hold.

In the quarter century that has passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published  25 years since April 8, 1997  so many things in our world have changed. But the one thing that has not changed is the pressing need for and the power of financial education. Money is still a mainstay of our lives, like it or not, and technology has brought both speed and innovations to the world of money. In an ever-changing world, we can all still get smarter when it comes to money and learn as much as we can to secure our future.

Still the One #1 

Today Rich Dad Poor Dad consistently ranks among bestsellers around the world in the categories of Personal Finance, Parenting, and Investing, has been translated into 38 languages, and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide.


Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads  his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad  and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were challenged and criticized 25 ago, are more meaningful, relevant, and important today than ever.

Rich Dad Poor Dad...
 Explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich
 Challenges the belief that your house is an asset
 Shows parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
 Defines once and for all an asset and a liability
 Teaches you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success

Bibliography
This is a practical handbook packed with tips, techniques and suggestions for all those working and living with learning disabled children aged 3-19. How do you teach history to a child who can't remember what they had for dinner? What difference will it make to a child's counting skills if you place the objects in a line? Will breaking down a task into smaller steps help a young person learn how to dress himself? Children with learning disabilities do not follow set patterns of learning, and yet often they are expected to learn in the same way as their more able counterparts. Chris Turner draws on 25 years' experience of working with learning disabled children and young people to provide an introduction to learning disabilities and the effect they have on the individual and their family. She proposes holistic strategies to ensure that every child makes progress, regardless of the extent of their disability. All aspects of learning, from the simplest forms of non-verbal communication to the way ICT can motivate and inspire are explored in this informal guide for anyone wanting to support a child with learning difficulties.
