The Culture of Speed - John Tomlinson - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Culture of Speed - John Tomlinson - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

"John Tomlinson''s book is an invitation to an adventure. It contains a precious key to unlock the doors into the unmapped and unexplored cultural and ethical condition of ''immediacy''. Without this key concept from now on it will not be possible to make sense of the social existence of our times and its ambivalences." - Ulrich Beck, University of Munich "A most welcome, stimulating and challenging exploration of the cultural impact and significance of speed in advanced modern societies. It successfully interweaves theoretical discourse, historical and contemporary analyses and imaginative use of literary sources, all of which are mobilised in order to provide an original, intellectually rewarding and critical account of the changing significance of speed in our everyday experience." - David Frisby, London School of Economics and Political Science Is the pace of life accelerating? If so, what are the cultural, social, personal and economic consequences?This stimulating and accessible book examines how speed emerged as a cultural issue during industrial modernity. The rise of capitalist society and the shift to urban settings was rapid and tumultuous and was defined by the belief in ''progress''. The first obstacle faced by societies that were starting to ''speed up'' was how to regulate and control the process. The attempt to regulate the acceleration of life created a new set of problems, namely the way in which speed escapes regulation and rebels against controls. This pattern of acceleration and control subsequently defined debates about the cultural effects of acceleration. However, in the 21st century ''immediacy'', the combination of fast capitalism and the saturation of the everyday by media technologies, has emerged as the core feature of control. This coming of immediacy will inexorably change how we think about and experience media culture, consumption practices, and the core of our cultural and moral values.Incisive and richly illustrated, this eye-opening account of speed and culture provides an original guide to one of the central features of contemporary culture and everyday life.

The Focus Model - B. R. (ray) Jones - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Focus Model - B. R. (ray) Jones - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

With school improvement initiatives, quality trumps quantity every time. Today, a vast array of techniques, plans and initiatives purport to improve student performance. But a "shotgun" approach—trying many strategies at once without the deep focus they need to succeed—always falls short. The Focus Model solves this growing problem with a method for carefully implementing research informed initiatives proven to work and getting the most out of them, detailing: - - From Standards to Learning Intentions —Defining with clarity the skills your students most need now - - Criteria for Success —Defining with clarity what it will mean for students to have mastered skills - - Critical formative analysis of students — Taking formative assessment to a systemic level of implementation - - Impact-Professional Learning Communities (I-PLCs)—Collaborating with colleagues so that the focus is learning for both students and the adults - With The Focus Model, your school and system will benefit from the truth that less is more in planning for improvement. "Here′s a first-synthesis of today′s best suggestions about how we can make school improvement a reality instead of a hope. A seasoned, perceptive author has assembled an excellent collection of school-improvement tactics that are demonstrable winners." —W. James Popham, Emeritus Professor UCLA "If the US implements the Common Core Curriculum it will require a constructive alignment between the standards, the teaching, and the assessment. Jones highlights these latter two critical parts of schooling in a way that not only makes the alignment constructive, but he increases the probability of acceleration in student learning." —John Hattie, Director Melbourne Education Research Institute Victoria, Australia
