Sinopse

"Academic Calendars" explores the profound impact of academic schedules on higher education, examining how different semester systems and calendar models influence student outcomes, faculty workload, and institutional resources. This academic textbook delves into the historical evolution of these calendars, from monastic schedules to today's diverse approaches, highlighting the influence of societal changes and educational philosophies. 

 
A key insight is that an optimal calendar isn't universal but should align with an institution's mission, student body, and available resources. The book uniquely integrates quantitative data, like graduation rates, with qualitative insights from student and faculty experiences. It analyzes various calendar models, from traditional semesters to year-round schooling, using comparative case studies to showcase both successes and failures.

 
By connecting academic calendars to economics, sociology, and psychology, the book demonstrates the far-reaching implications of calendar design on areas such as local economies and student well-being. Structured to first introduce fundamental concepts, "Academic Calendars" progresses through analyzing different models, presenting supporting data, and discussing real-world applications. This approach aims to provide administrators, faculty, and policymakers with an evidence-based guide to understanding and potentially reforming their academic calendars for enhanced educational practices.

    We have to stop treating a pneumonia patient with cough syrup! The majority of leadership books focus on treating the symptoms of poor leadership and not the disease itself. In leadership the symptoms may be low employee engagement, bad communication, lack of trust, and micromanagement, but the underlying disease relates to CHARACTER. 
    Our data proves that people want to follow character. 
    Ask yourself, "Would you follow you?"  
    Unlike other books, Becoming a Leader of Character simply and boldly tells us HOW to develop our character instead of just telling us we need to have it. Developing character is not complicated, but it is hard. Growing always requires a little sweat! 
    "You have to DO what you want to BE!" 
    If you want something more than theories, and you want to BE the Leader of Character your business, your family, and your country desperately need, read Becoming a Leader of Character and start doing what Leaders of Character DO. 
    This book lays out a plan for you to become that leader you would want to follow - a Leader of Character.

    With the third decade of the twenty-first century solidly upon us, perhaps the great question for our day is “Where are the Shepherds?” Have the skills, knowledge, virtues, and wisdom that once produced men and women of character worth trusting—cultural, political, and spiritual leaders worth following—been lost forever? Have we as a society forgotten how to build these qualities into developing shepherd boys and girls? 
    In this audiobook version of Wisdom and Eloquence for Parents, read with clarity and warmth by Joelle Hodge, MAT, classical Christian educators Dr. Robert Littlejohn and Charles T. Evans draw from the foundational principles outlined in their seminal 2006 work, Wisdom and Eloquence: A Christian Paradigm for Classical Education to answer these questions with a resounding “no!” 
    Together with family and parenting counselor Keith A. McCurdy, the authors present updated selections from the original text and new content written specifically for parents, providing a compelling case for classical Christian education as the surest path to forming wise and eloquent servant-leaders who are equipped to shepherd their generation as lifelong learners, rational thinkers, creative problem solvers, and faithful Christians.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond explores why human societies developed differently across continents, challenging racist explanations and focusing on environmental and geographical factors. The book examines how the availability of domesticable plants and animals, continental axes, and the spread of technology and writing influenced societal development, with Eurasia gaining an early advantage. The narrative analyzes the role of food production in enabling more complex societies, like chiefdoms and states, and how differences in geography led to divergent historical trajectories. The book also emphasizes the importance of writing and the diffusion of technology as key elements in the diverse paths of human societies.
