Sinopsis

Grading Curve Realities explores the complex role of grading curves in legal education, revealing how these systems, intended to provide objective assessment, can inadvertently foster competition and anxiety among students. The book analyzes the statistical principles behind grading curves, highlighting that while they aim for a normal distribution of grades, in practice, this can intensify student rankings and impact career opportunities.

 
Did you know the practice evolved from a desire to maintain academic rigor and comparability across institutions? The book delves into the controversies surrounding grading curves, such as debates about grade inflation and the impact on student mental health, while also examining alternative grading methods.

 
Through empirical data and student surveys, the book underscores the need for a more nuanced approach that balances standardized grading with meaningful learning outcomes. The book begins by explaining the statistical underpinnings, moves through the debates, and concludes with an exploration of the grading curves' impact on students and recommendations for reform.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead" by Olga Tokarczuk is a captivating mystery novel set in a remote Polish village. The story follows Janina Duszejko, an eccentric and fiercely independent woman deeply connected to nature and astrology. When a series of mysterious deaths plagues the village, primarily targeting local hunters, Duszejko suspects foul play. Her unconventional theories, linking the deaths to the mistreatment of animals and drawing upon astrological interpretations, are met with skepticism by the authorities and even her closest friends. Driven by her profound empathy for animals and fueled by her astrological insights, Duszejko embarks on a personal investigation to uncover the truth, challenging conventional notions of justice and the human-centric view of the world. The novel explores themes of animal rights, environmentalism, and the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Backbone - History Traditions...

Julia Dye

Noncommissioned officers stand as the backbone of the United States Marine Corps. The Corps is among the most lasting institutions in America, though few understand what makes it so strong and how that understanding can be applied effectively in today's world. In this insightful and thoroughly researched book, Julia Dye explores the cadre of noncommissioned officers that make up the Marine Corps' system of small-unit leadership. To help us better understand what makes these extraordinary men and women such effective leaders, Dye examines the fourteen leadership traits embraced by every NCO. These qualities--including judgment, enthusiasm, determination, bearing, and unselfishness--are exemplified by men like Terry Anderson, the former Marine sergeant who spent nearly seven years as a hostage in Beirut, John Basilone, the hero of the Pacific, and many others. To assemble this extraordinary chronicle, Julia Dye interviewed Anderson and dozens of other Marines, mining a rich trove of historical and modern NCO heroes that comprise the Marine Corps' astonishing legacy, from its founding in 1775 to the present day.
"Few people have the privilege of serving as a noncommissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, but anyone who is interested in leading the kind of purpose-driven and values-centered life that marks the best Marine NCOs can learn from this book. And anyone in the business of leading people--whether it's in business, the classroom, or the playing field--should study the men and women Dye writes about with such insight. These NCOs don't just teach young Marines; they have a great deal to teach anyone smart enough to read, listen, and learn."
--Ed Ruggero, author of The First Men In: US Paratroopers and the Fight to Save D-Day

Where Equity Lives - Eliminating...

Robin Avelar La Salle, Ruth S....

This book is for education leaders who do not accept that the underachievement of African American, Latino, Indigenous, low income and other vulnerable student groups is inevitable. Where Equity Lives is the result of 25 years of studying over 300 schools and districts struggling to overturn the longstanding pattern of under achievement of the same demographic groups. This book is a reveal of the five most common systemic inequity traps identified through the Study of Studies that help explain historic achievement patterns. The authors lay out achievable paths of possibilities for education leaders to reverse decades of under achievement. Actionable insights are shared through real-life stories of schools and districts that struggled with and took action to address each of these traps. Chapters contain equity hooks—easy to remember cues of complete, complex, and nuanced leadership takeaways. Online templates and supplemental materials are available for teams of leaders to apply the guidance from each chapter to your school system so that vulnerable students arrive at the spot where equity lives, that magnificent place where demographics no longer predict achievement.

Dying Green - A Journey through...

Christine Vatovec

The slow violence being inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—also represents an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. Every resource used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, has a significant environmental impact. This raises an urgent ethical dilemma: in striving to improve the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? 
 
 
  
In Dying Green, award-winning educator Christine Vatovec offers an engaging study that asks us to consider the broader environmental sustainability of health care. Through a comparative analysis of the care provided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility, she shows how decisions made at a patient's bedside govern the environmental footprint of the healthcare industry. Likewise, Dying Green offers insights on the many opportunities that exist for reducing the ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying in particular. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet.
