The OIQ Factor: Raising Your School's Organizational Intelligence: How Schools Can Become Cognitively, Socially and Emotionally Smart (World Class Schools)
by William Powell Ochan Kusuma-PowellThis fascinating book, written by two experts in school improvement, is for teachers and school leaders who are looking for ways to raise the organizational intelligence quotient (OIQ) of their classrooms and their schools. It is ideal for those who perceive themselves as the facilitators of learning - for students, for colleagues and for themselves. If schools are to be transformed and transformative, teacher-learners will lead the way. Simplistic and superficial approaches to improving student learning simply don't work. School improvement isn't a technical challenge; it is an adaptive one. It requires a change not just in behaviors and skills, but in values, beliefs and even identity.

Ökonomische Bildung: Grundlagen und neue synergetische Ansätze
by Andreas LieningDas Buch befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, wie Wirtschaftsunterricht gestaltet sein muss, damit Schüler/innen die Zusammenhänge zwischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verstehen.

Ökonomisierung und Bildung: Zu den Formen ökonomischer Rationalisierung im Feld der Bildung (essentials)
by Thomas HöhneÖkonomisierung als Rationalisierung im Arbeits- und Produktionsbereich stellt ein kapitalistisches Grundprinzip dar, das seit den 1980er Jahren zunehmend auf außerökonomische Bereiche übertragen wird. Vorangetrieben wird diese Entwicklung national sowie international vor allem durch Staat, Politik und transnationale Akteure, die zunehmend ökonomische Steuerungsmittel wie Evaluation und Indikatorensteuerung in den Bildungsbereich einführen. Primäres Ziel ist es, Wettbewerb systematisch im Bildungssystem als Entwicklungsinstrument zu etablieren. Hierdurch sollen marktähnliche Strukturen – sogenannte Quasi-Märkte – geschaffen werden, deren bildungsökonomisches Ziel insgesamt eine nachhaltige Steigerung der gesamtgesellschaftlichen Produktivität von Bildung ist.
Old and New Generations in the 21st Century: Shifting Landscapes of Education
by Stefan RamaekersThe matter of simply living together, on both a global and a local scale, is complicated by the cultural, economic, religious, technological, and ecological challenges that we face in today’s world. An educational-philosophical take on these complexities translates into reflections on, and attempts to answer, the questions that these challenges raise. How is the older generation to introduce a new generation into today’s world and to ‘prepare’ it for the world to come? What sense can be given to such introduction and ‘preparation’? Or in the more general terms of Friedrich Schleiermacher, ‘What indeed does the older generation intend to do with the younger generation? The contributions in this book – originally presented during the 14th conference of the International Network of Philosophers of Education – address a broad range of philosophical issues related to the question of the educational relationship between generations today. The philosophical analysis offered by the authors in this volume creates openings, not only for other philosophers of education, but also for policy makers and practitioners. They serve as invitations, not only for further thinking but also for reconsidering educational practices; and most importantly, they generate new questions, for both today’s and tomorrow’s generations. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethics and Education.

Old Main: Small Colleges in Twenty-First Century America
by Samuel SchumanThis perceptive and cogent account draws on key data and firsthand observations to tell the story of the small college in America. Defined as institutions that enroll between 500 and 3,000 full-time students, small colleges number about six hundred in the United States. Many are thriving, while some—whether through low enrollment, ballooning debt, or simple misfortune—face uncertain futures. Informed by his own experiences as a teacher and administrator, Samuel Schuman sketches the history and development of these institutions; then focuses on their current conditions and future possibilities. Administrators, faculty, and researchers will appreciate Schuman's insight into institutional choices and their consequences. Old Main is an essential book for anyone who shares Schuman's conviction that small colleges occupy a central place in American higher education.

Old School Still Matters: Lessons from History to Reform Public Education in America
by Brian L. FifeCan public schools in America be saved? This book considers theory, current practice, and the common school ideal through a historical lens to arrive at practical suggestions for reforming contemporary public education.Despite dramatic, sweeping changes in recent decades, a strong case can be made for guiding the reformation of contemporary public education in the United States on common school ideology of the nineteenth century. The author argues that the common school remains a public institution capable of preparing America's youth to contribute to the community in a positive manner, and that education must be treated at a public good where all children—regardless of social class—have a right to a quality education. The work includes a thorough overview of Horace Mann's writings on K–12 public education that support the common school ideal—concepts that are over 150 years old, yet still highly relevant today.

The Old Testament: A Historical And Literary Introduction To The Hebrew Scriptures
by Michael Coogan
The Old Testament: A Concise Introduction
by Brent A. StrawnThis concise volume introduces readers to the three main sections of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and to the biblical books found in each. It is organized around two primary "stories": the story that scholars tell about the Old Testament and the story the literature itself tells.

The Old Testament and Folklore Study (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)

Dr Kirkpatrick subjects the underlying premises supporting many of these theories to a careful examination in the light of the most recent folklore research.
Old Testament Conceptual Metaphors and the Christology of Luke’s Gospel (The Library of New Testament Studies)
by Gregory R. LanierExtensive scholarship has been devoted to Jesus' depiction in the Gospels, and how such depiction is influenced by the Old Testament. Gregory R. Lanier presents a newcase for the importance of conceptual metaphor, arguing that the Gospel of Luke employs certain metaphors reflected in Israel's traditions-such as “horn of salvation,” “dawn from on high,” “mother bird gathering Jerusalem's children,” and “crushing stone”-in order to portray the identity of Jesus as both an agent of salvation and, more provocatively, the one God of Israel.Setting his argument at the intersection of three sub-fields of New Testament scholarship-early Christology, the use of Israel's Scriptures in the New Testament, and contemporary metaphor theory-Lanier suggests ways to overcome the “low”-“high ”binary and perceive the Gospel's Christology as multi-faceted. Applying metaphor theory to the influence of the Old Testament metaphors on Luke's Christology, Lanier adds methodological rigor to the tracing of such influences in cases where standard criteria for quotations and allusions/echoes are stretched thin.
The Old Testament in the Book of Revelation (The Library of New Testament Studies #115)
by Steve MoyiseThis book explores the relationship between the new context that John provides for his allusions and their context in the Old Testament. For example, did John choose texts to meet the needs of the recipients or did his meditation on the scriptures give him a unique insight into their situation? Ramsay held that local knowledge led to John's choice of texts whereas Beale believed that Revelation is a midrash on Daniel. Both are one-sided, as a study of John's use of Ezekiel shows. John based a number of his incidents on Ezekiel, in much the same order. Nevertheless, there are also major discontinuities, such as his denial of the very thing-the temple-that Ezekiel 40-48 is all about. To do justice to John's use of the Old Testament requires an interactive model, which involves the use of scripture at Qumran and the concept of intertextuality. Moyise shows John to be a master of combining and juxtaposing images.
