This involved making offerings as well as feasts on those occasions just like the Jews.

The main reason for this need for public accountability is due to the increased dissatisfaction with literacy in schools.

Introduction

Leadership and motivation are concepts that are inherent in any achievement of desired goals. Every individual or organization with personal or corporate objectives respectively needs to apply leadership and motivation concepts. Leadership goes hand in hand with the amount of influence that a given person can impact on his followers. The ability to convince followers towards a common goal determines a leader’s performance. In my opinion, motivation is the basis for all achievements in all aspects. Leadership influences the performance of any individual or organization. In addition, it influences how parties involved in an organization’s activities are motivated towards the ...

According to Kotter, major change initiatives that intended to improve the culture, boost quality or meant to generate lukewarm results may fail miserably. This lies with the fact that Kotter maintains the notion that most of the people in management positions tend to forget that transformation is more or less a process and not an event. This implies that for transformation to occur, several stages of transformation must be arrived at. Most people who are in those management positions accelerate the transformation process and hence ending up failing. Therefore, transformation to take place, the people in management positions should follow ...

The article draws attention to the problem of grading; in particular, the author, an independent consultant on assessment with 33-year teaching experience, asserts that traditional grading is counter-productive to learning, and provides us with guidelines of a standards-based system that makes grades accurate, meaningful, consistent, and supportive of learning.
In the traditional system, one grade per subject is reported, and it is often influenced by teacher’s attitude. The author suggests using standards-based report cards as they break down the subjects into several topic areas, and students are assessed on their proficiency in the specific subcategories of each area. ...

Empirical self of each individual that is at all times referred as me (William Jones, 279). It is difficult to draw a clear line between what a man refers to as me and what he says its mine.

The work of each individual’s hands, their fame, their children are dear to them just like their bodies and bring about the same feelings in the event they are attacked.

- In the six-way race for the presidency in Iran, the four conservatives that were aligned with the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneii finished last. Of these four, the frontrunner was Saeed Jalili, a close ally of Ayatollah Ali Khameneii and Iran’s nuclear negotiator. Saeed Jalili received a mere 11 percent of the vote.

In the article entitled “Can Money Buy Happiness?” written by Arthur C. Brooks and published in The American in 2008 presented an argumentative discussion asserting that money cannot buy happiness; but success can. One only partially agrees with the author’s affirmation since the measure for success was also financial remuneration, to wit: “financial status is the way we demonstrate to others (and ourselves) that we are successful” (Brooks, 2008, par. 34). One disagrees that this is the only way to demonstrate success. Some people could measure success in terms of merely fulfilling identified goals- which are not always ...

In Bakhtin and Adorno
Mikhail Bakhtin’s essay From Rabelais and His World discusses the role of laughter and comedy in past and present culture. “Laughter and its forms represent . . . the least scrutinized sphere of the people’s creation,” Bakhtin writes (2002, p.83). He discusses the development and practices of carnival-type festivities in Roman and medieval times. As opposed to official feasts in which rank and order were of great importance, or “a consecration of inequality” (2002, p. 88), carnival existed as “a suspension of all hierarchical precedence” (p. 87). The introduction to the test suggests that Bakhtin’s examination ...

I always have the notion that strict parents raise successful children. This perception is attributed to the many successful people who admitted that ...

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a skill that identifies and governs the emotions of an individual, or groups. EI also helps in understanding the emotional needs of other people, creates a sense of self-awareness and determines people skills. The skills, knowledge and proficiency of an individual are more valuable than EI. In teamwork the team members are responsible to maintain healthy relations with sub-ordinates; hence it becomes a necessity to analyze how individuals comprehend and cope with emotional intelligence that can influence the collective and team effectiveness. Expertise and cognitive function are intertwined, in turn impacting on the emotional component of teamwork (Mccallin & ...

Leadership entails a social process where an individual commanding a group enlists the help of his/her subordinates to accomplish a given objective. The term relationship generally denotes family ties, but also refers to the state of binding or connecting persons. At the work place, meaningful relationships with colleagues help workers to accomplish their tasks effectively. With this regard, I support the view held by Drath that leadership is relationship.
According to Sloane and Drath (2) who strongly believe in the power of relationships to achieve results and positive change in organizations, it is prudent to lay the foundation for promoting productive ...

The writer of the narrative essay, Kimberly Parker, details the extraordinary academic successes of her students during the first two years of her high school teaching career, and she concludes by asserting that her students’ exemplary successes can be replicated.

The principal argument that Parker makes in regards to setting the academic bar higher, encouraging the students, and their subsequently succeeding is analogous to the famous line from the classic ...

Paolo Friere speaks on a system of domination. The first and second chapters of Pedagogy of the Oppressed (2000) are to do with objectification that belittles the potential of open minds, and corrupts the abilities of the educator. Because of these two positions, a chasm is made where the whip hand may keep a distance but anyone of a lower position is openly without healthy resources. The result is a shaky outcome where the benefits are minimal and the deserved are left wanting.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed discusses how conventional education does not recognise the void in humanity. Instead, traditional education is empowered ...

Teaching involves leadership in guiding students and taking actions that create a motivating environment. Amongst the challenges faced by teachers are facing unmotivated students and developing positive attitude towards their stay in school and success, in learning. Sometimes it becomes hard for these teachers to identify the unmotivated learners and the reasons behind their lack of motivation. Assisting an unmotivated student may not perfect the student to A+ grades but may improve on their efforts towards learning and develop positivity in attitude. As much as it is the teacher’s responsibility to motivate learners, parents and principals play a critical part ...

1. How would you characterize the leadership of Howard Schulz?
It seems to me that Howard Schulz is a real business leader – not only he managed to use his innate leadership skills, drive and creativity to start a company, but he also had enough courage to acknowledge his mistakes and gain managerial experience out of them to run the company and lead it to success. What is really valuable about this manager is that now he understands the price of company’s growth and that company’s success and winning can be very fleeting and elusive. As a result, he cares ...

Knudson used three excellent examples of how Californians’ protect their own environment at the expense of the environment in Canada and Ecuador. Although Knudson is biased in his article, his examples are solid and he does offer opposing viewpoints. He also gives ...

Communications

Dyer and Harvey (1995) have written about reaching an atmosphere of constructive controversy to replace pretend agreement. Teams are a waste of time when team members only pretend to agree. Decisions made under false pretenses are not good decisions. The Abilene Paradox is an example of how four family members, while trying to please each other, agreed to an activity even though none of them really wanted to participate. In an organization the self-defeating results of a pretended agreement are the opposite of the goals desired. “The inability to manage agreement is a major source of dysfunction” which affects not only the ...
