Book Description

By focusing on the skills needed for success, rather than the skills demanded by specific positions or tasks, this universally-applicable book prepares future educators to meet the challenges of contemporary educational environments. The authors imbue this book with the findings of relevant contemporary research through the extensive use of case studies, scenarios, and illustrations—connecting chapter content to real-world problems in education. Material is organized by skills, such as pedagogy, human relations, staff development, and program design, in order to emphasize the supervisor's role in coordinating the various administrative, curricular, and instructional concerns involved in providing instruction in today's demanding multicultural settings. Features broad, extensive coverage of the connection between teaching and the curriculum. Coverage of technology familiarizes future educators with current educational aids—examines the pros and cons of increasing reliance on technology and provides guidelines for evaluating new technology as it is developed. Extensive material on alternative certifications (in Chapter 10)—provides coverage of the realities of alternatives, their advantages and disadvantages, and how to pursue a specific goal. For future educators or those pursuing a variety of career paths that fall under the "umbrella" of supervision.

    Book Description

    Supervision now has increased significance in the professional lives of mental health professionals, especially since the advent of voluntary and mandatory registration, managed care, and clinical governance. Little, however, has been written to address the practical and theoretical needs and questions of those involved.

    In Supervision in the Mental Health Professions, Joyce Scaife, along with her guest contributors, draws on over two decades of experience to illustrate ways of thinking about and doing supervision. Using practical examples, she explores often-encountered dilemmas including: How can supervisors facilitate learning? What are the ethical bases of supervision? What helps to create a good working alliance?

    Supervision in the Mental Health Professions is a comprehensive, practical, and indispensable text for supervisors and supervisees involved in mental health, including counseling, psychotherapy, counseling psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and social work.

        Book Description

        This practical guide illuminates the tasks, roles and responsibilities of group supervisors and supervisees. Case studies of four groups are developed throughout to illustrate the differences and issues that arise in the process of group supervision. The first part describes the Group Supervision Alliance Model on which the book is based and identifies four overlapping but distinct types of group: authoritative, participative, co-operative and peer. Part Two focuses on the skills of managing each type of group and offers guidelines for making clear agreements and alliances, developing flexible leadership and making sense of group and individual developmental needs. The author also tackles `hot issues' that arise in group supervision and suggests positive ways of encouraging and working with the diversity which groups encompass.

              Product Description

              Fieldwork education links education and practice and is a critical extension of occupational therapy curricula. Yet, despite its importance, the theory and practice of fieldwork education has remained relatively free of research, theory, development, or training for those who direct the learning of students. The chapters in this essential book, each of which offers several learning exercises, address these gaps in the occupational therapy knowledge base, providing a theoretical, and philosophical framework, correcting myths, and forging a connection between the theory and practice of clinical education and supervision. For OT and OTA students, this book will encourage an active learning experience. For new practitioners, the book will help identify a body of knowledge not learned in school. For fieldwork educators, this book will assist with self-assessment and encourage creating a professional development plan that will further refine supervision skills. For managers of practice settings, the book will provide a theoretical base for the administrative, supportive, and educational functions of clinical supervision. Includes an 18-minute DVD produced by occupational therapy fieldwork students with 5 clinical scenarios that show situations between students and supervisors, followed by discussion questions!

                  Book Description

                  Financial Services: Authorisation, Supervision and Enforcement provides litigators and compliance advisers with an understanding of the powers available to the Financial Services Authority in the context of the regulatory regime established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. It also clearly sets out the processes for authorisation and examines the meaning of 'regulated activity'. The text comprehensively explains the investigatory powers, sanctions and remedies available to the FSA, and the procedures applicable to their exercise, giving invaluable assistance to those advising and representing firms in proceedings involving the FSA. All such proceedings are considered, whether they take the form of an FSA investigation, disciplinary proceedings involving the Regulatory Decisions Committee or the Financial Services and Markets Act Tribunal, civil proceedings in the High Court, or a criminal prosecution. Russen not only makes extensive reference to the detailed provisions of the FSA Handbook, but also addresses, where appropriate, particular issues of practice and procedure that are likely to have an impact upon FSA investigations and any civil or criminal proceedings instituted by the FSA. In addition to its detailed treatment of the procedure governing action and litigation by the FSA, the book contains chapters on the authorisation process and on the substantive law (including complex secondary legislation) relating to money laundering, market abuse and financial promotions. Each of these areas is at the heart of the FSA's role as the single regulator of the financial markets in the UK and has been the subject of recent and substantial change both internally and as result of European developments. The powers of the FSA and the procedures relating to enforcement and litigation in this area are examined in the context of the authorisation rules and ways in which authorised entities may commit regulatory offences.

                                      Book Description

                                      In today's highly competitive marketplace, organizations want more from project management than on-time, under-budget delivery. Just like labor, technology and equipment, project management is seen as a corporate asset that is expected to contribute to the bottom line. It must deliver a profitable return on investment if it is to become a strategic business asset, and not just another drill press in the corporate tool crib.

                                      In Quantifying the Value of Project Management, William Ibbs and Justin Reginato, from the University of California at Berkeley, explore real-world data from 52 U.S. corporations and find the key to a high return on investment. It is project management maturity. Mature project management departments have more on-time, under-budget projects; less variable schedules and expenses; and decreased cost ratios. Project management maturity benefits extend to the parent company where Dr. Ibbs finds lower utilization rates, higher production rates and lower operating costs. Dr. Ibbs shows how to assess project management maturity and track its development.

                                      The details of these groundbreaking discoveries are presented in a style that combines the wit of Fortune magazine with the sophistication and rigor of an academic contribution to the Project Management Journal®.

                                      1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money.......2005-03-16

                                      I purchased the book expecting some practical approach. I was disappointed; it's all theory, and there are too many mistakes in the text.

                                      2 out of 5 stars This Book(let) is a Major Disappointment.......2003-03-11

                                      This booklet is a major disappointment, and I am surprised that a professor of civil engineering from UC-Berkely would co-publish this together with a graduate researcher and call it a "book". This is not a book, it is a booklet at best.

                                      I have purchased dozens and dozens of books on project management over the years and this one ranks in the bottom decile.

                                      It is "49 pages" in total length consisting of the following:

                                      Pages 1-3 introduction.
                                      Pages 47-8 references.
                                      Pages 4, 16 and 30 completely blank.
                                      Pages 49 author contact information (consultants); actually the last 5 pages of the book are generically entitled "Upgrade Your Project Management Knowledge with Leading Titles from PMI" and are solely advertisements.

                                      The booklet also contains glaring errors making for confusing and potential misleading conclusions, for example:
                                      Page 24 Table 3-1 the equation is in error,
                                      Page 28 Figure 4-1 the figure is mislabeled,
                                      Page 29 Figure 4-2 part of the diagram is completely missing.

                                      Unfortunately, the trade association (PMI) publisher of this "booklet" continues to struggle with putting out much needed quantifiable case studies demonstrating the value of project management. This booklet is not the way to do it, nor is it the way to develop a project management consulting business.

                                      By the way, PMI sells this booklet for an amazing $...(see back cover of the book). I paid substantially less than that thru "Used" on Amazon.com and still wish I hadn't bothered. PMI should know better.

                                      Save your money, invest it elsewhere. Two books that have some helpful resources for quantifying the value of project management include:

                                      "The Project Management Scorecard", especially chapters 4-16.
                                      "The New Project Management", especially chapers 12-13.

                                      Other project management books I have read and found beneficial:

                                      "Successful IT Project Delivery"
                                      "Visualizing Project Management"
                                      "Project Management Nation"
