Final presentation.ppt
The document discusses the Age of Enlightenment, which originated in Europe in the 18th century and advocated reason as the primary source of authority. Key Enlightenment thinkers like Kant argued that people remain in a self-imposed immaturity by not using their own reason and relying on others to think for them. Enlightenment principles influenced declarations like the American Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man. However, these declarations initially only recognized rights for males and excluded women and slaves. The document argues that the Enlightenment still forms the basis of modern ideas around liberalism, tolerance, and documents like the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It then discusses how these Enlightenment ideas relate to 21st century
Chris argyris1
Chris Argyris is known for his theories on organizational learning and effectiveness. He coined the term "action science" which examines how people interact within organizations. Argyris developed theories of single-loop and double-loop learning, where single-loop focuses on techniques and double-loop leads to shifts in strategies and framing of consequences. Double-loop learning can be applied to school administration to promote organizational effectiveness through reviewing and changing practices. While the theory focuses on interactions, it can also support technology integration to enhance teaching and learning. However, the distinction between single and double-loop learning is sometimes vague.
Travellers in Asia
The document outlines an "Experience Asia With Me" program created by Ms Migdanis that involves choosing an Asian destination to research and potentially visit. Some destination options mentioned include the Great Wall of China, the Silk Road, riding camels in sand dunes, seeing giant pandas in China, and visiting the Taj Mahal. Students would use tools like Google Earth to research their destination and do math activities related to distances, time conversions, and costs. They would then create a project using a format like a podcast, video, presentation, animation or online unit to share what they learned about their Asian destination.

The document discusses research on effective instructional strategies for gifted children. It finds that individualization strategies like non-graded classrooms, mentoring/tutoring, and credit for prior learning have substantial positive effects. Grouping gifted students by ability, including cluster grouping and full-time ability grouping, also significantly improves achievement. Acceleration strategies like grade skipping, early entrance to school, and subject acceleration positively impact gifted students' learning. The research suggests gifted students learn faster and benefit from more complex content, project-based learning, and time spent on higher-order thinking skills. Effective practices include an accelerated pace, compacting curricula, whole-to-part concept teaching, and daily challenge in students' talent areas.

MLC Senior School aims to create a learning community focused on transforming learning. The document outlines the school's learning goals for 2008/9, including laboratory and enlightenment programs for years 9 and 10, and initiatives to promote student voice, leadership, and community service. It checks progress on goals and priorities, asking teachers what is working well, what further priorities they and their learning teams have, what they will do that term, and what immediate next steps they will take to continue improving learning. It emphasizes that the quality of an education system depends on the quality of its teachers.
Recurring Images of 'The Great Gatsby'
The document analyzes recurring images in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby. It lists images of color, eyes, the landscape, characters, sunlight and shadows, death, and time that are referenced repeatedly throughout the novel. These recurring images include gold, white, green, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, owls eyes, a wasteland landscape of ashes, the careless and destructive behaviors of characters, and the themes of both the irreversible passage of time and man's inability to recapture the past.
Tredyffrin Township - Sidewalk Project
Residents on the south side of Old Lancaster Road between Daylesford Station and Conestoga Road requested that the township shift the planned sidewalk project 3 feet to the north ("Yard for a Yard" proposal) to minimize the impact on their properties. They argued that shifting the design north would save mature landscaping and reduce the loss of driveway space and property easement, while having little impact on pedestrians or north side residents. The residents pledged to help maintain the sidewalks and landscaping if the township implemented their compromise proposal.
Notes 9 22
The Hawthorne Effect refers to when individuals modify or improve an aspect of their behavior simply in response to being observed, not because of any experimental manipulation. Even the control group in experiments may experience changes just from knowing they are part of a study. During a study at the Hawthorne electric plant, production increased regardless of whether the lighting was brighter or dimmer, likely due to the Hawthorne Effect. Experimenter bias and other confounding variables like placebo effects can also influence experimental results without the researcher's awareness. Correlational research shows relationships between variables but cannot prove causation. Survey, naturalistic observation, case studies and other common research methods have limitations and do not demonstrate causality.
Motivational theory basics
The document discusses various theories of motivation put forth by thinkers such as Maslow, Drucker, Likert, Taylor, Argyris, Herzberg, McClelland, and McGregor. Herzberg's theory identified hygiene factors like pay, status, security and company policies as well as motivation factors such as achievement, recognition, growth and interest in one's job.
Neo Human Relations Theory
1. The document discusses several social psychologists and their theories related to human motivation and leadership, including Maslow, McGregor, Likert, and Argyris.
2. Maslow developed a hierarchy of human needs from basic physiological needs to higher needs of esteem and self-actualization. McGregor proposed Theory X and Theory Y about management assumptions regarding employee motivation and control.
3. Likert described four patterns of management from exploitative to participative. Argyris studied that classical organization models promoted employee "immaturity" while maturity involved greater independence, interests, and self-awareness.

Translating Strategy2
Managers act as translators to help staff understand organizational strategy and create aligned actions. They first ensure staff understands the strategic direction and key issues. Managers then help staff bridge the gap between current reality and the vision by focusing on a few important milestone projects with synergy and alignment to build momentum and capacity. The process is ongoing, with strategy dynamically adjusted through measuring the right outcomes and holding people accountable.

Final presentation
The document discusses the Age of Enlightenment, which originated in Europe in the 18th century and advocated reason as the primary source of authority. Key Enlightenment thinkers like Kant argued that people remain in a self-imposed immaturity by not using their own reason and relying on others to think for them. Enlightenment principles influenced declarations like the American Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man. However, these declarations initially only recognized rights for males and excluded women and slaves. The document argues that the Enlightenment still forms the basis of modern ideas around liberalism, tolerance, and documents like the UN Declaration of Human Rights. It then discusses how these Enlightenment ideas relate to 21st century
