The Invisible Industry - History...

Larry Kulchawik, Bob McGlincy

The Invisible Industry is the history of how trade shows started in the USA. 
Beginning with World Fairs, the concept of trade shows evolved worldwide. 
Trade shows unfolded in the USA in 1900 and evolved to represent a $1.6 trillion industry. 
Since most trade show are private events, they do not advertise publicly-thus The Invisible Industry. 
Starting with the inventors and inventions introduced at World Fairs, trade shows evolved for 
every  specific industry. Face to face marketing has grown to be a valuable marketing tool.

Cultures of Thinking in Action -...

Ron Ritchhart

Ron Ritchhart's new book, Cultures of Thinking in Action, takes the next step in helping listeners not only understand how a culture of thinking looks and feels, but also how to create it for themselves and their learners. Arguing that no set of practices or techniques alone is sufficient to create a culture of thinking in and of itself, Ritchhart explores the underlying beliefs that motivate the creation of cultures of thinking, presenting key mindsets every educator and leader needs to embrace. 
 
 
 
Much more than just an instructional guide, Cultures of Thinking in Action offers listeners a reflective journey into their own teaching, leading, and parenting while providing the foundation and concrete strategies needed to create and develop a culture of thinking for all learners. This book: 
 
 
 
● Presents ten foundational mindsets of a culture of thinking 
 
 
 
● Includes the latest research of the Cultures of Thinking Project 
 
 
 
● Includes questions, exercises, and discussion prompts to inspire reflection by individuals and teams 
 
 
 
● Provides case studies and best practice scenarios to exemplify each mindset 
 
 
 
● Provides data collection tools to inform one's teaching practice
