  Written by Armando Di-Finizio, A Head Full of Ethos: A holistic guide to developing and sustaining a positive school culture is a head teacher's insightful account of how to go about developing a shared vision and blending it into a school's culture and day-to-day running.When one or more aspects of a school's running or curriculum breaks down, all too often the leadership team will jump from one idea to another in a bid to remedy the problem. This, however, can lead to blurred vision and possible confusion. Leaders may then wonder why the remedies aren't working and are likely to scramble for more, hopefully better, ideas.Armando Di-Finizio, however, believes that the key to success lies in the school's ethos and in the daily manifestation of its underpinning principles.In A Head Full of Ethos, Armando weaves his experiences and the lessons he's learned from three decades of successful school leadership into an engaging illustration of the principles which have supported him in his varied settings. In so doing, he explores the key elements that contribute to nurturing a positive school ethos and cultivating a healthy teaching and learning environment.The book examines the many interconnected cogs of a sustainable ethos - an ethos which will become the driving force in inspiring the school's students to flourish and its staff to grow professionally. In turn, it empowers school leaders at all levels with the means to take more ownership of what they do, and imbues them with more courage in relation to their convictions and decision-making.Suitable for middle and senior leaders in all school settings.

  Code White - Sounding the Alarm...

  When health care workers call a Code White, it’s an emergency response for a violent incident: a call for help. But it’s one that goes unanswered in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care homes across the country. Code White exposes a shocking epidemic of violence that’s hidden in plain sight, one in which workers are bruised, battered, assaulted, and demeaned, but carry on in silence, with little recourse or support.
  		 
  Researchers Margaret M. Keith and James T. Brophy lay bare the stories of over one hundred nurses and personal support workers, aides and porters, clerical workers and cleaners. The nightmarish experiences they relate are not one-off incidents, but symptoms of deep systemic flaws that have transformed health care into one of the most dangerous occupational sectors in Canada.
  		 
  The same questions echo in the wake of each and every brutal encounter: Is violence and trauma really just “part of the job”? Why is this going underreported and unchecked? What needs to be done, and how?

  A popular misconception about oral care is that it’s primarily about making teeth look as attractive as possible. Advertisements for tooth whiteners and veneers abound, but the fact is that while appearance is important, there’s a lot more to oral care than just having a mouth full of straight, pearly white teeth. Dr. Brett Langston has spent his career as a prosthodontist – a dentist who specializes in the restoration of oral health and replacement of missing teeth-solving some of the most challenging dental problems. He feels strongly that most people need to understand that oral health affects general health and wants to encourage people to look beyond appearances and learn to take proper care of their teeth and gums. There’s more to it than a quick brush in the morning and evening or choosing a magic toothpaste.In this book, Dr. Langston will share some of his vast knowledge of proper oral care and reveal that by making a few simple lifestyle changes, people can increase their chances of avoiding pain, tooth loss, and embarrassment. He shares amazing, heartwarming, and sometimes funny stories from his decades of working in the field of prosthodontics. Meet a young man who thought he’d never find love because of the state of his teeth, and a woman who was too embarrassed to sing because of her ill-fitting dentures. Dr. Langston not only changed these people’s lives but also taught them how to maintain good oral health for the long haul.Dr. Langston will also introduce some modern solutions to age-old problems and walk you through your many options when it comes to tooth repair, reconstruction, and maintenance. In language understandable to those outside the field of dentistry, he will show you that progress in the world of oral health has very much kept up with modern technology and will amaze you with what is being done in the field. He believes that there are no hopeless cases when it comes to dental reconstruction.“This is all very nice” we hear you say. “But I am afraid of the dentist and that’s why I don’t go.” In the book, Dr. Langston will gently encourage you to put aside your fears and make that dental appointment. Pain management has come a long way in the past several decades, and you don’t have to be afraid anymore. Once you understand the importance of good oral care to your overall health and what your options are, Dr. Langston and dental professionals like him are waiting to put you at ease and take care of you. Armed with the information you’ve learned from this book, you can work closely with your dentist to create a care plan that will improve your life and both your oral and general health.

  The Shocking Truth about Legal...

  Legal rights are the foundation of the modern world, influencing every aspect of our lives. From the moment we are born, we are subject to a complex web of rights that protect our freedoms, safeguard our interests, and ensure our ability to live our lives in a fair and just society. But what exactly are legal rights, and how have they evolved over time? The shocking truth is that many people don’t fully understand the legal rights they are entitled to, nor do they realize how these rights impact them on a daily basis. In this book, we aim to uncover the truths behind legal rights, shedding light on their importance and how they shape the world we live in. 
    
  Legal rights are not a recent concept; they have been developed over centuries, evolving with society's changing needs and values. In early civilizations, rights were often limited and dictated by rulers, leaving little room for individual freedoms. It wasn’t until the rise of democratic societies that the idea of legal rights for all people began to take shape. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is one of the earliest examples of a legal document that set the foundation for individual freedoms and legal protections. However, it wasn’t until much later that such rights would become enshrined in the constitutions and laws of nations across the world. 
    
  The significance of legal rights today cannot be overstated. From voting rights to free speech, from the right to a fair trial to protection from discrimination, legal rights play a crucial role in ensuring equality and justice. Without these rights, individuals would have no means of holding authorities accountable or protecting themselves from abuse. In the digital age, the scope of legal rights continues to expand, with new laws aimed at safeguarding personal privacy, intellectual property, and access to technology.
