Robin Kessler
Career Press, 2006
A must for anyone trying to figure out what they're doing wrong at interviews
As a Columbia MBA student, I found Kessler's book really helpful. I've found interviewing at business school very difficult because I'm surrounded by amazingly well-qualified competition! Interviews are one of my weakest points and I've read a bunch of interview guides in the hopes of finding out what I'm doing wrong. Until this book, I found these guides kind of useless and a waste of money ...

Competency-based Performance Reviews: How to Perform Employee Evaluations the Fortune 500 Way3 reviews
Robin Kessler
Career Press, 2008
An effective method for employee evaluation and management
Robin Kessler has written this very helpful book to help small to medium businesses perform better performance reviews.

Her argument is that you should be using the competencies you know are key to your success as measures ...

Susan Ohanian
Heinemann, 1999
A Book Worth Reading
One Size Fits Few by Susan Ohanian contains more citations than I've ever seen in a single reading! One can't accuse this author of not doing her research before writing this book. Virtually every statement she makes is backed up by a reference to a well known public figure or educator. Throughout the book, the author makes numerous cases against the use of educational standards. At the ...

Brain-Compatible Mathematics2 reviews
Diane L. Ronis
Corwin Press, 2006
Why Do Jane and Johnny Hate Math?
Diane Ronis in this interesting book writes: "By discouraging, ignoring, or working against the natural learning processes of the brain, our traditional didactic methodologies appear to hinder rather than help the brain learn." This is a provocative and potent statement, essentially saying K-12 education as we know it, is in fact all wrong. Teaching methods established before the turn of the ...

Educating One & All: Students With Disabilities and Standards-Based Reform1 review
Natl Academy Pr, 1997
For ALL Educators who care about reforms and the disabled!
I found this book while browsing one day. It's subtitle is Students with Disabilities and Standards-based Reform. In the midst of the outcry from politicians and parents for reform of the public school system, one group has been steadfastly ignored. That is those who have disabilities. For example, the American Association for the Advancement of Science put out a book in 1990 called Science ...
