The OIQ Factor: Raising Your School's Organizational Intelligence: How Schools Can Become Cognitively, Socially and Emotionally Smart (World Class Schools)
by Ochan Kusuma-Powell William PowellThis fascinating book, written by two experts in school improvement, is for teachers and school leaders who are looking for ways to raise the organizational intelligence quotient (OIQ) of their classrooms and their schools. It is ideal for those who perceive themselves as the facilitators of learning - for students, for colleagues and for themselves. If schools are to be transformed and transformative, teacher-learners will lead the way. Simplistic and superficial approaches to improving student learning simply don't work. School improvement isn't a technical challenge; it is an adaptive one. It requires a change not just in behaviors and skills, but in values, beliefs and even identity.

Oklahoma: The History of an American State
by Ellen Sue Blakey Rita GeigerHow can a state that is so young have such a strong sense of history? After all, Oklahoma only became a state at the beginning of the twentieth century. There are still people alive who remember those events, and the stories are still fresh in the memories of families. At the same time, the geographical area that includes Oklahoma is one of the oldest places on the continent. Compared to our ancient mountains--worn away with age and time--the Rocky Mountains are still young.
Oklahoma City’s Mid-Century Modern Architecture (Images of America)
by Lynne RostochilFrom its very first land run days in 1889, Oklahoma City has been a mecca for daring men and women intent on transforming the flat, grassy prairie into a thoroughly modern metropolis. This risk-taking ethic came to beautiful fruition after World War II when several enterprising young architects, many of whom were students of the mighty Bruce Goff at the University of Oklahoma, rejected traditional styles and approaches and enthusiastically embraced more modern forms in their sleek, ambitious building designs. The result is a vast collection of bold mid-century modern structures that span every function and budget, from the giant egg-shaped First Christian Church to the modest but equally dramatic Neptune Subs building to homes like the spiral-shaped Zuhdi House. This book celebrates Oklahoma City�s unique built landscape and the minds behind our best architectural treasures.

Ökonomische Bildung: Grundlagen und neue synergetische Ansätze
by Andreas LieningDas Buch befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, wie Wirtschaftsunterricht gestaltet sein muss, damit Schüler/innen die Zusammenhänge zwischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verstehen. Der Autor stellt die Denkweisen und methodischen Herangehensweisen vor, die die ökonomische Betrachtung der Realität aus der Sicht von Wissenschaft und Bildung prägen.

Ökonomisierung und Bildung: Zu den Formen ökonomischer Rationalisierung im Feld der Bildung (essentials)
by Thomas HöhneÖkonomisierung als Rationalisierung im Arbeits- und Produktionsbereich stellt ein kapitalistisches Grundprinzip dar, das seit den 1980er Jahren zunehmend auf außerökonomische Bereiche übertragen wird. Vorangetrieben wird diese Entwicklung national sowie international vor allem durch Staat, Politik und transnationale Akteure, die zunehmend ökonomische Steuerungsmittel wie Evaluation und Indikatorensteuerung in den Bildungsbereich einführen. Primäres Ziel ist es, Wettbewerb systematisch im Bildungssystem als Entwicklungsinstrument zu etablieren. Hierdurch sollen marktähnliche Strukturen - sogenannte Quasi-Märkte - geschaffen werden, deren bildungsökonomisches Ziel insgesamt eine nachhaltige Steigerung der gesamtgesellschaftlichen Produktivität von Bildung ist.
Las olas del destino: Serie Jamaica V. II
by Sarah Lark Susana Andrés FontIsla de Jamaica, 1753. Deirdre, la hija de la inglesa Nora Fortnam y del esclavo Akwasi, lleva una vida protegida en la plantación de su madre y de su padre adoptivo. Pese a los orígenes poco claros de la joven, los muchachos de la isla beben los vientos por ella. Deirdre, sin embargo, no siente el menor interés por ninguno de ellos hasta que el joven médico Victor Dufresne pide su mano. Tras una espléndida ceremonia nupcial, la pareja de recién casados zarpa hacia Saint-Domingue, en La Española. Los sucesos que allí acontecerán transformarán sus vidas por completo… «Como era la primera vez que navegaba, Deirdre observó llena de emoción que el barco zarpaba y se dirigía a alta mar mientras la orilla de Jamaica se iba haciendo más diminuta hasta desaparecer en el horizonte. Victor la había rodeado con el brazo para consolarla, pero para Deirdre era más fuerte el ansia de aventura que la pena por la despedida. Pasó el día en cubierta y celebró la presencia de los delfines que acompañaban la embarcación. -Delante de La Española también verás ballenas -anunció Victor-. Van para celebrar la boda. Por fortuna son pacíficas. En caso contrario habría que tenerles miedo, son casi tan grandes como nuestro barco. -¡Qué bonito que todos celebren las bodas! -exclamó Deirdre riendo-. Ay, Victor, desde que estoy contigo tengo la impresión de que toda mi vida es una gran fiesta.»

Old and New Generations in the 21st Century: Shifting Landscapes of Education
by Stefan RamaekersThe matter of simply living together, on both a global and a local scale, is complicated by the cultural, economic, religious, technological, and ecological challenges that we face in today’s world. An educational-philosophical take on these complexities translates into reflections on, and attempts to answer, the questions that these challenges raise. How is the older generation to introduce a new generation into today’s world and to ‘prepare’ it for the world to come? What sense can be given to such introduction and ‘preparation’? Or in the more general terms of Friedrich Schleiermacher, ‘What indeed does the older generation intend to do with the younger generation? The contributions in this book – originally presented during the 14th conference of the International Network of Philosophers of Education – address a broad range of philosophical issues related to the question of the educational relationship between generations today. The philosophical analysis offered by the authors in this volume creates openings, not only for other philosophers of education, but also for policy makers and practitioners. They serve as invitations, not only for further thinking but also for reconsidering educational practices; and most importantly, they generate new questions, for both today’s and tomorrow’s generations. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethics and Education.

The Old Boys
by David TurnerTo many in the United Kingdom, the British public school remains the disliked and mistrusted embodiment of privilege and elitism. They have educated many of the country's top bankers and politicians over the centuries right up to the present, including the present Prime Minister. David Turner's vibrant history of Great Britain's public schools, from the foundation of Winchester College in 1382 to the modern day, offers a fresh reappraisal of the controversial educational system. Turner argues that public schools are, in fact, good for the nation and are presently enjoying their true "Golden Age," countering the long-held belief that these institutions achieved their greatest glory during Great Britain's Victorian Era. Turner's engrossing and enlightening work is rife with colorful stories of schoolboy revolts, eccentric heads, shocking corruption, and financial collapse. His thoughtful appreciation of these learning establishments follows the progression of public schools from their sometimes brutal and inglorious pasts through their present incarnations as vital contributors to the economic, scientific, and political future of the country.

Old Dominion University (Campus History)
by Steven Bookman Jessica Ritchie President John BroderickThe story of Old Dominion University began during one of the most uncertain times in American history. In 1930, as the country sank deeper into the Great Depression, the College of William and Mary opened a two-year extension school in nearby Norfolk, Virginia, to provide affordable, quality education to the community. Embracing its founding spirit of innovation, the school rapidly evolved into an independent, four-year college and adopted Virginia’s nickname “Old Dominion.” As the country transformed during the 1960s, so did the college, and by 1969, it had progressed into a dynamic public university. Now with over 250 academic programs, nine colleges, and approximately 25,000 students representing over 100 countries, Old Dominion University continues to pride itself on forward-thinking research, inclusiveness, and strategic partnerships.

Old In Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over
by Nell PainterFollowing her retirement from Princeton University, celebrated historian Dr. Nell Irvin Painter surprised everyone in her life by returning to school--in her sixties--to earn a BFA and MFA in painting. In Old in Art School, she travels from her beloved Newark to the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design; finds meaning in the artists she loves, even as she comes to understand how they may be undervalued; and struggles with the unstable balance between the pursuit of art and the inevitable, sometimes painful demands of a life fully lived. How are women and artists seen and judged by their age, looks, and race? What does it mean when someone says, "You will never be an artist"? Who defines what "An Artist" is and all that goes with such an identity, and how are these ideas tied to our shared conceptions of beauty, value, and difference? Old in Art School is Nell Painter's ongoing exploration of those crucial questions. Bringing to bear incisive insights from two careers, Painter weaves a frank, funny, and often surprising tale of her move from academia to art.
