ASSOCIATION FOR TALENT DEVELOPMENT (ATD)

www.russorights.com 3

ASTD is becoming the Association for Talent Development (ATD). Watch the organization change

and here's why: the training and development field has grown dramatically since ASTD was

founded 70 years ago. Since then, the transformation of the American Society for Training &

Development reflects and supports the global nature, tremendous diversity, influence, and impact

of this profession. It's been a natural progression. ATD now supports the global drive for

developing top-quality talent in organizations through training, learning, and human capital

investments. Look to ATD Press for great books and publications.


Hailed as the best leadership training book on Amazon.com, Leaders Open Doors benefits both experienced leaders and

those just starting out on their leadership journeys. Drawing on two decades of experience, author Bill Treasurer

(Courageous Leadership, 2011 Berrett-Koehler) combines personal stories and anecdotes to illustrate how (and how not)

to inspire people. He approaches these ideas with the belief that great leadership is not hierarchical—it is the people’s

willingness to take initiative and reach their goals that is crucial to successful leadership. The emphasis is on the need to

foster creativity and innovation among employees. The title also reveals the four most important skills that any aspiring

leader must hone, and introduces six unique opportunity “doors”—each door offering a chance for leaders to shift the

perspective of their followers.

The construction industry calls for a unique type of project management, as many projects require large amounts of materials, physical tools and labor, and involve numerous and diverse stakeholders. Also, construction projects often affect—or are affected by—the environment. Due to these and other characteristics specific to construction projects, the Project Management Institute (PMI) has

Produced the Construction Extension. Like other extensions, the book is meant to be a companion to the PMBOK® Guide—Fifth Edition, rather than a stand-alone document. In addition, the Construction Extension provides materials directly related to the construction industry that are not offered in the PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition, including the following: Safety Management – the processes required to ensure that accidents are prevented and personal injury and property damage are avoided; Environmental Management – the practices necessary to ensure that the project follows all laws and regulations pertaining to the environment affected by the project; Financial Management – the steps needed to acquire and manage the financial resources for the project; and Claim Management – the processes required to prevent or eliminate construction claims from arising.

Literacy is a skill for all time, for all people. It is an integral part of our lives, whether we are students or adult professionals.

The focus of Read, Write, Lead is to give all educators the breadth of knowledge and practical tools that help students

strengthen their literacy skills. Author Regie Routman draws on her experience as a mentor teacher, reading specialist,

instructional coach, and staff developer to offer time-tested advice on how to develop a school-wide learning culture that

leads to more effective reading and writing across the curriculum. This title will help school leaders and teachers implement

instructional practices that lead to better engagement and achievement in reading and writing for all students, from

kindergarten through high school, including second-language and struggling learners; reduce the need for intervention

through daily practices that ensure success; and embed the language of productive feedback in responsive instruction,

conferences, and observations to accelerate learning for students, teachers, and leaders. In their own voices, teachers,

principals, literacy specialists, and students offer real-life examples of changes that led to dramatic improvement in literacy

skills and—perhaps just as important—increased joy in teaching and learning. Scattered throughout the book are “Quick

Wins”—ideas and actions that can yield positive, affirming results while tackling the tough work of long-term change.

In this lively and eye-opening book, educator Myron Dueck reveals how many of the assessment policies that teachers adopt can actually prove detrimental to student motivation and achievement. Through anecdotes, lesson plans, and various practical strategies, he demonstrates how teachers can tailor policies to address what really matters: student understanding of content. These strategies help ensure students are not punished for factors outside of their control and allow teachers to critically examine the fairness and effectiveness of grading homework assignments while designing unit plans that make assessment criteria crystal-clear to students.

The phenomenon-based learning (PBL) approach used by the authors is as educational as the experiments are attention-grabbing. Instead of putting the theory before the application, PBL encourages students to first experience how the gadgets work and then grow curious enough to find out why. Students engage in the activities not as a task to be completed but as exploration and discovery. Using Physical Science Gadgets and Gizmos can help students learn broader concepts, useful thinking skills, and science and engineering practices (as defined by the Next Generation Science Standards).

National bestselling and award-winning author Page Keeley sets out to transform the elementary classroom with this

compendium of 30 “Formative Assessment Probes” columns. Formative assessment is a process that supports learning by

uncovering students’ thinking and uses that information to support conceptual understanding. The formative assessment

probes outlined in this book are sets of interesting questions that are designed to root out commonly held but often-

mistaken ideas elementary students have about the natural and scientific world. Probe topics range from why you can see

the Moon in the daytime to where water goes when it evaporates, and they will encourage evidence-based discussion in the

classroom. Teachers don’t need psychic powers to understand the ideas students bring to science into the classroom,

instead they need What Are They Thinking? to impact the way students learn about science.

If you and your students can’t get enough of a good thing, Volume 2 of Uncovering Student Ideas in Physical Science is just

what you need. With 39 new formative assessment probes, this new book can help you do everything from demystify

electromagnetic fields to explain the real reason balloons stick to the wall after you rub them on your hair. Like the other

eight wildly popular books in the full series, this title provides a collection of engaging questions, or formative assessment

probes. Each probe in this volume is designed to uncover what students know or think they know about electric or magnetic

phenomena or identify misunderstandings they may develop during instruction. In addition to explaining the science

content, the teacher materials suggest grade-appropriate ways to present material so students will learn it accurately.

It’s fun to toss maple seeds into the air and

watch them twirl down to the ground like

nature’s own helicopters. This book offers a

close look at these marvels of aerial

engineering, including the seeds’ real

name (no, not whirlybird), the work they do

This book unfolds as a series of observations

about light, including where it comes from,

how it bounces off people and objects, and

what we mean when we say the colors of the

rainbow are the colors in light. Throughout the

text, informal experiments prompt young

sc ient is ts to learn by doing, and

impressionistic drawings bring the mysteries

Rubber vs. Glass I Wonder Why

ISBN: 978-1-938946-50-9| (July 2014) 36 pages


Price: $11.95

A friendly debate leads twins Bill and Mary to

compare rubber balls, rafts, and gloves with

marbles, greenhouses, and jars, objects that

at first seem very different. A field trip teaches

the twins that both rubber and glass can bend,

bounce, stretch, and even melt. This lively

story introduces the concept of properties. As

scientists know, properties are characteristics that help us understand the traits of

substances all around us if—like Bill and Mary—we observe closely.

While building a soapbox racing car, a pair of

friends provide an easy-to-understand lesson

in how simple machines are all around us,

making our work more efficient. Michael and

Luci show readers that a broom is a lever,

nails are wedges, and a screwdriver is both a

lever and a wheel and axle. The two also

how and what questions to explore physical principles they encounter all the time.

Here’s humorous proof of just how fun it is to

observe with your ears. A whimsical

introduction to pitch and volume, this book

practically begs young scientists to read it

aloud. And why not? It’s the best way to

compare the differences among a telephone’s

high ring, a cow’s low moo, a fire truck’s loud

clang, and a flying string band’s plinkety plink plunk. Sounds Are High, Sounds Are

Low is ideal for beginning readers and hilarious practice for future sound effects pros.

Written in lively rhyme, Dark as a Shadow makes it fun to learn the science behind why shadows change length

throughout the day and disappear in the dark. After reading about how light and objects interact to create shadows,

young children won’t be able to resist twisting, wriggling, bending, and shaking to see the phenomenon themselves.

Successful Education

Powerful and important, this new paradigm in education proposes that educators take a leading role in the molding and

mentoring of students’ creativity, especially in engineering. Today’s students are pushed through standards and common

core with little attention to what allows for new inventions and great thinking—the latitude to be creative. Combined with

years’ of experience in engineering and focused on STEM-related education needs, Successful Education: How to Educate

Creative Engineers is the best resource for gaining a competitive edge and moving education over the tipping point.
