Summary:

With foreword by Richard DuFour and Rebecca DuFour

Transforming School Culture provides a school improvement plan for leaders to overcome staff division, improve relationships, and transform toxic school cultures into healthy ones.

Dr. Anthony Muhammad contends that in order to transform school culture, we must understand why teachers continue to hold on to models or beliefs contrary to those put forth by their school or district. He explores the human behavior, social conditions, and history that cause the underlying conflict among the four different types of teachers in a school.

The audio edition of this best-selling resource delivers powerful new insight into the four types of educators (believers, fundamentalists, tweeners, and survivors) and how school leaders can work with each group to create positive school culture. The audiobook also includes Dr. Muhammad's latest research as well as a new chapter dedicated to answering frequently asked questions on culture and school leadership in education.

Title: Notes from Underground

Author: Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Narrator: Peter Batchelor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:44:48

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-24

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Classics

Summary:

Pevear and Volokhonsky may be the premier Russian-to-English translators of the era. (The New Yorker)

Dostoevskys most revolutionary novel Notes from Underground marks the dividing line between 19th- and 20th-century fiction and between the visions of self each century embodied. One of the most remarkable characters in literature, the unnamed narrator is a former official who has defiantly withdrawn into an underground existence.

In full retreat from society, he scrawls a passionate, obsessive, self-contradictory narrative that serves as a devastating attack on social utopianism and an assertion of mans essentially irrational nature.

Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, whose Dostoevsky translations have become the standard, give us a brilliantly faithful edition of this classic novel, conveying all the tragedy and tormented comedy of the original. This audio edition of Notes from Underground is the only recording of Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation of Dostoevskys classic work. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonskys masterful translation of Notes from Underground is destined to stand with their versions of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and Demons as the definitive Dostoevsky in English. This audiobook is skillfully narrated by Peter Batchelor.

Title: Trading Price Action Reversals: Four Essential Skills for Transformational School and District Leaders (Educational Leadership Development for Change Management) (Solutions)

Author: Al Brooks

Narrator: Mike Fraser

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24:01:02

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-24

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Business & Economics, Accounting & Finance

Summary:

A detailed guide to profiting from trend reversals, using the technical analysis of price action.

The key to being a successful trader is finding a system that works and sticking with it. Author Al Brooks has done just that. By simplifying his trading system and trading only five-minute price charts, he's found a way to capture profits, regardless of market direction or economic climate. His first book, Reading Price Charts Bar by Bar, offered an informative examination of his system, but it didn't allow him to get into the real nuts and bolts of the approach. Now, with this new series of books, Brooks takes you step by step through the entire process.

By breaking down his trading system into its simplest pieces: institutional piggybacking or trend trading, trading ranges, and transitions or reversals (the focus of this book), this three-book series offers access to Brooks' successful methodology. Trading Price Action Reversals reveals the various types of reversals found in today's markets, and then takes the time to discuss the specific characteristics of these reversals, so that you can use them in your everyday trading endeavors. While price action analysis works on all time frames, there are different techniques that you can use in trading intraday, daily, weekly and monthly charts. This, among many other issues, is also addressed throughout the audio.

- Offers insights on how to handle volatility and sharp reversals

- Covers the concept of using options when trading certain charts

- Examines how to deal with the emotions that come along with trading

- Other books in the series include Trading Price Action Trends and Trading Price Action Trading Ranges

If you're looking to make the most of your time in today's markets, the trading insights found in Trading Price Action Reversals will help you achieve this goal.

Title: Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception

Author: Timothy R. Levine

Narrator: Scott R. Pollak

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:04:47

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-24

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, Social Science

Summary:

From the advent of fake news to climate-science denial and Bernie Madoffs appeal to investors, people can be astonishingly gullible. Some people appear authentic and sincere even when the facts discredit them, and many people fall victim to conspiracy theories and economic scams that should be dismissed as obviously ludicrous. This happens because of a near-universal human tendency to operate within a mindset that can be characterized as a truth-default. We uncritically accept most of the messages we receive as honest. We all are perceptually blind to deception. We are hardwired to be duped. The question is, can anything be done to militate against our vulnerability to deception without further eroding the trust in people and social institutions that we so desperately need in civil society?

Timothy R. Levines Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception recounts a decades-long program of empirical research that culminates in a new theory of deception - truth-default theory. This theory holds that the content of incoming communication is typically and uncritically accepted as true, and most of the time, this is good. Truth-default allows humans to function socially. Further, because most deception is enacted by a few prolific liars, the so called truth-bias is not really a bias after all. Passive belief makes us right most of the time, but the catch is that it also makes us vulnerable to occasional deceit.

Levines research on lie detection and truth-bias has produced many provocative new findings over the years. He has uncovered what makes some people more believable than others and has discovered several ways to improve lie-detection accuracy. In Duped, Levine details where these ideas came from, how they were tested, and how the findings combine to produce a coherent new understanding of human deception and deception detection.

Duped is skillfully narrated by Scott Pollak.

Language: English

Release date: 09-02-24

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology

Summary:

This is the latest edition of Garry Landreths comprehensive text on creating therapeutic relationships with children through play.

Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship details Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), an evidence-based model, which stresses the importance of understanding the childs world. Professors who have taught a course based on the previous editions will be pleased to find the core message intact but updated with a comprehensive review of rigorous contemporary research demonstrating the strong evidence base for CCPT across cultural groups and presenting issues. Expanded to cover additional topics of interest, this new edition includes a model of the change process in CCPT and 13 new Rules of Thumb that help clarify the CCPT relationship, and discusses deeper issues in CCPT, such as recognizing emotional blocks in play therapy, being culturally responsive, discovering meaning when there seems to be no meaning, and more.

This new edition offers essential help to play therapists who respond to sensitive issues at every stage of the therapeutic process.

Expanded to cover additional topics of interest, the new edition includes the dynamics and structure of supervision in play therapy, paradoxes in play therapy, models of the change process in child-centered play therapy, and more!

The additions and changes to the fourth edition explain and enhance the concept of play therapy as a process of living out beliefs about children rather than applying techniques, methods or skills, enlarge the view of the play therapist as a person of commitment and passion and present children as being capable of much more than they seem to be.

This audiobook is masterfully narrated by Scott Pollak.
