The United States has publicly funded its human spaceflight program on a continuous basis for more than a half-century, through three wars and a half-dozen recessions, from the early Mercury and Gemini suborbital and Earth orbital missions, to the lunar landings, and thence to the first reusable winged crewed spaceplane that the United States operated for three decades. Today the United States is the major partner in a massive orbital facility - the International Space Station - that is becoming the focal point for the first tentative steps in commercial cargo and crewed orbital space flights. And yet, the long-term future of human spaceflight beyond this project is unclear. Pronouncements by multiple presidents of bold new ventures by Americans to the Moon, to Mars, and to an asteroid in its native orbit, have not been matched by the same commitment that accompanied President Kennedy\'s now fabled 1961 speech-namely, the substantial increase in NASA funding needed to make it happen. Are we still committed to advancing human spaceflight? What should a long-term goal be, and what does the United States need to do to achieve it? Pathways to Exploration explores the case for advancing this endeavor, drawing on the history of rationales for human spaceflight, examining the attitudes of stakeholders and the public, and carefully assessing the technical and fiscal realities. This report recommends maintaining the long-term focus on Mars as the horizon goal for human space exploration. With this goal in mind, the report considers funding levels necessary to maintain a robust tempo of execution, current research and exploration projects and the time/resources needed to continue them, and international cooperation that could contribute to the achievement of spaceflight to Mars. According to Pathways to Exploration, a successful U.S. program would require sustained national commitment and a budget that increases by more than the rate of inflation. In reviving a U.S. human exploration program capable of answering the enduring questions about humanity's destiny beyond our tiny blue planet, the nation will need to grapple with the attitudinal and fiscal realities of the nation today while staying true to a small but crucial set of fundamental principles for the conduct of exploration of the endless frontier. The recommendations of Pathways to Exploration provide a clear map toward a human spaceflight program that inspires students and citizens by furthering human exploration and discovery, while taking into account the long-term commitment necessary to achieve this goal.

"Howard and Ill have given educators a stunning encyclopedic handbook on career pathways. Loaded with helpful lists and charts, and written in a clear, conversational tone, Career Pathways is the new indispensable resource for superintendents, principals, counselors, and teachers."Elaine Johnson, Honorary FellowHuron College"Career Pathways is the most comprehensive curriculum approach to achieving the dual goal of academic and career maturity. High school educators who seek to promote not just college admissions but college success should consider the career pathways approach."Kenneth Gray, ProfessorPenn State University Just imagine all students in your high school taking ownership of their own learning! This is exactly what happens in a student-centered Pathways High School. Instructionally based, the Collaborative Career Pathways approach is to help all students add relevancy to their school work by preparing for the future. Collaborative Pathway High Schools allow students to self manage and problem-solve to better prepare for their future. This excellent resource brings together three crucial pillars: the classroom, the community, and the counseling processes that are found in all high schools. Students begin this process by learning about their aptitudes, skills, and interests and then selecting one of several broad career paths (such as Human Services or Science and Industry). Students experience ongoing goal-setting and decision making. Through the classroom, community, and counseling processes, your students will be able to design and implement a plan that is just right them. This is what student-centered learning is all about! Classroom processes remain the key to student-centered and self-directed learning. Integration occurs naturally as students have the opportunity to participate in integrated learning units that include the four core subject areas, technology, and one or two electives that all align to state and national standards and benchmarks. Community opportunities begin with guest speakers, chat partners, and field trip visits and then progress to job shadowing, internships, mentorships, and senior capstone projects. Counseling becomes a key component for students in the areas of academic, career, and social and personal skill development. Ample opportunities abound for role modeling and practice in teaming, problem solving, conflict resolution, character development, self-management, goal setting, and decision making. By employing the Career Pathways model, your school can add relevancy to what students learn and do during their high school years. Help students be more focused and team-oriented, and the true drivers of their own learning!

Organizational Routines written by Jennifer A. Howard-Grenville and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016 with Business & Economics categories.
Over the past 15 years, organizational routines have been increasingly investigated from a process perspective to challenge the idea that routines are stable entities that are mindlessly enacted. A process perspective explores how routines are performed by specific people in specific settings. It shows how action, improvisation, and novelty are part of routine performances. It also departs from a view of routines as "black boxes" that transform inputs into organizational outputs and places attention on the actual actions and patterns that comprise routines. Routines are both effortful accomplishments, in that it takes effort to perform, sustain, or change them, and emergent accomplishments, because sometimes the effort to perform routines leads to unforeseen change. While a process perspective has enabled scholars to open up the "black box" of routines and explore their actions and patterns in fine-grained, dynamic ways, there is much more work to be done. Chapters in this volume make considerable progress, through the three main themes expressed across these chapters. These are: Zooming out to understand routines in larger contexts; Zooming in to reveal actor dispositions and skill; and Innovation, creativity and routines in ambiguous contexts.

Climate change is a pressing international political issue, for which a practical but principled solution is urgently required. Climate Justice in a Non-Ideal World aims to make normative theorising on climate justice more relevant and applicable to political realities and public policy. The motivation behind this edited collection is that normative theorising has something to offer even in an imperfect world mired by partial compliance and unfavourable circumstances. In the last years, a lively debate has sprung up in political philosophy about non-ideal theory and there has also been an upsurge of interest in the various normative issues raised by climate change such as intergenerational justice, transnational harm, collective action, or risk assessment. However, there has been little systematic discussion of the links between climate justice and non-ideal theory even though the former would seem like a paradigm example of the relevance of the latter. The aim of this edited volume is to address this. In doing so, the volume presents original work from leading experts on climate ethics, including several who have participated in climate policy. The first part of the book discusses those facets of the debate on climate justice that become relevant due to the shortcomings of current global action on climate change. The second part makes specific suggestions for adjusting current policies and negotiating procedures in ways that are feasible in the relatively short term while still decreasing the distance between current climate policy and the ideal. The chapters in the third and final part reflect upon how philosophical work can be brought to bear on the debates in climate science, communication, and politics.

This book provides a much-needed critical exploration of digital media interventions in Southeast Asia, while adopting a decolonial perspective to address issues such as digital inequality, mistrust, and the manipulation of digital spaces. By emphasizing State-society initiatives that foster connective responsibility and collective resilience, it engages with original concepts such as rhizomorphic publics, digital media ecovillages, and digital sociocracy to challenge conventional power structures, offering new models and frameworks for collaboration and participatory governance. Through case studies, the book introduces the Southeast Asia DE-FINED (De-colonial Framework for Inclusive Networking, Engagement and Dialogue) framework and demonstrates how societies in this region can reshape digital landscapes, regenerate communities, and foster equitable governance, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists engaged in Southeast Asia's digital transformation.

This edited volume brings together a collection of chapters from leading scholars in rural education with the purpose of linking knowledge from the rural education field to the wider discipline of education studies. Through addressing significant issues in the rural education field, the book gives insights from rural education that have general relevance for the wider disciplines of education, and provides up-to-date scholarship in research in rural contexts. This book aims to be a definitive and comprehensive edition of contemporary rural education scholarship that works as a guide for those new to researching in and for rural contexts, as well as actively expand the other sub-fields of education from a rural perspective. It examines the connection between rurality and the other domains of educational research, exploring what a rural perspective might bring to the broader fields of educational research, and how it might evolve them. In its unique approach, this book brings the concept of ‘rural’ to the disciplines of education; chapters regarding the ethics of research in the rural context speaks to a gap in rural education, and provide tools for engaging marginalised communities more generally in educational research.
