Differentiation and Diversity in the Primary School
by Eve BearneDifferentiation is a key part of effective teaching; structuring learning experiences to suit the needs of the individual child plays a major part in the quality of the education that child receives.

Written by practising teachers this collection: * examines the definitions and scope of differentiation * looks at the structuring and management of learning activities within the curriculum areas of key stages 1 and 2 * shows how teachers can provide equal access to the curriculum for all children, whilst also meeting government requirements * discusses issues of assessment * describes how schools can construct a whole school policy and approach for differentiation. Using case studies and examples, this book will lead teachers to reflect on their current practice, whilst also containing practical advice which will enable them to improve.

Differenzialgleichungen in elementarer Darstellung: Eine Einführung für das gymnasiale Lehramt
by Wolfgang LayDieses Lehrbuch leitet von den klassischen Schulinhalten der Analysis direkt zu einer Kategorisierung und Analyse spezieller (insbesondere linearer) Differenzialgleichungen über. Es betrachtet somit die klassische Analysis aus einer ungewohnten Perspektive und vermittelt inhaltlich zwischen dem mathematischen Denken an Gymnasien einerseits und an Hochschulen/Universitäten andererseits. Dabei werden Definitionen weniger formal, sondern vielmehr als Handlungsanweisung, also funktional betrachtet. Beim mathematischen Beweis geht es weniger darum, eine Wahrheit zu entdecken, als vielmehr darum, eine Einsicht zu vermitteln. Die verwendeten mathematischen Zeichen erheben keinen Absolutheitsanspruch, sondern sollen im Betrachter ein Bild erzeugen. Dieses Buch möchte so eine Weiterentwicklung in der Didaktik anstoßen; es richtet sich daher primär an Studierende und Dozenten im gymnasialen Lehramt der Mathematik, aber auch an SchülerInnen der gymnasialen Kursstufe, welche ein mathematikaffines Studium ins Auge fassen und daher den Übergang von der gymnasialen Kursstufe zum Studium der Mathematik oder eines mathematikaffinen Faches zu bewältigen haben. Es möchte sie dazu ermutigen, die Mathematik als einen großen Werkzeugkasten zu begreifen, mit dessen Hilfe sich auf unglaublich vielen Gebieten alltägliche wie nicht alltägliche Fragen lösen und Sachverhalte quantifizieren lassen.

Difficult Situations in Business Coaching: Practical Examples, Perspectives and Possibilities for Action
by Heidi Möller Jannik ZimmermannCoaches encounter a range of situations in their professional practice that they experience as difficult. The challenges have different sources. They can come from the coaches themselves, the coachees or the commissioning organization. But how do these situations present themselves in detail? How can coaches understand them and respond appropriately? Using real case studies collected online, this book takes a closer look at difficult situations. In doing so, renowned coaches present for discussion their theoretical and methodological perspectives and their recommendations for action. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Schwierige Situationen im Business-Coaching by Heidi Möller and Jannik Zimmermann, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
