Foreword by Andy Hargreaves.Hero headship is out. Imperfect leadership is in. This book is designed to help leaders develop and embrace an imperfect leadership mindset as a foundation for growth and development. In his first book, Imperfect Leadership: A book for leaders who know they don t know it all, Steve Munby uses the word imperfect to describe his own leadership style. This is not something he apologises for; he feels imperfect leadership should be celebrated. Too often we are given examples of leaders who are put on some kind of pedestal, lauded as superheroes who have it all worked out and are so good at what they do that nobody else can come close. But imperfect leadership is the antidote to this flawed perception. In Imperfect Leadership in Action, Steve has teamed up with Marie-Claire Bretherton to delve in more detail into a broad range of themes under the umbrella of imperfect leadership. Writing with sparkling clarity, the authors explore the approach s key principles and share engaging exercises and inspiring case studies which give voice to a wide range of experiences from across the education sector.The central message is that we can use our imperfections as a springboard for leadership development by asking for help, investing in self-reflection, focusing on building teams - and by trying to be a better version of ourselves tomorrow than we were today.The book provides numerous prompts for self-reflection, and also includes a chapter on leading in times of change (such as the COVID-19 lockdowns) and how the principles of imperfect leadership turn out to be equally applicable in times of crisis.Suitable for all those in or aspiring to leadership positions in education.

Research terms such as systematic reviews, and meta-analysis will be explained in a simple manner, with solid links made with teaching and practice. The author found research terminology hard to decipher after a long gap from doing their undergraduate dissertation, and then doing their action research project for the postgraduate diploma in education and training. This book is written to support all researchers in the same position.In the 101 action research guide, the real-life example of a STEM teacher action research project to improve literacy skills for STEM students in a FE setting, is used to promote the merits of action research in teaching. It is a must read for anyone, who hasn⠙t done a research project in a while to help them refamiliarise themselves with research terminology.

Addressing everyday suffering in schools through compassion Compassion and dignity provide an essential framework for building caring and inclusive schools. Many books focus on what teachers can do as individuals; Creating Compassionate Change in School Communities is different. This book focuses both on how educators can cultivate compassion within themselves and lead together to cultivate humanizing school environments. Teachers, librarians, counselors, resource specialists, mental health professionals, and social workers who are working to create conditions for compassion and dignity in schools are all leaders who can impact change. Offering concrete evidence and case studies that showcase the power of compassion to create flourishing school communities and rejuvenate education, the book will help all educators better serve K-12 students with school cultures that promote healing. Compassion can be cultivated, dignity can be affirmed, and leaders need skillful means to do soâ ”tools and practices that can help them develop compassion for themselves and others and see their own dignity and that of others. Experiment and engage in meditation practices to strengthen personal capacity for mindfulness and compassion and the application to the classroom and school communitiesEngage in hands-on writing exercises and self-reflection questions educators can ask themselves and then apply their personal growth to influence school policies and climateGain perspective on compassion in schools through a multidisciplinary lens drawing from contemplative practices, psychology, and organizational change theoryLearn from stories and examples of K-12 educators who have exemplified compassion in action While we cannot fully address all the suffering that is happening in schools today, educators do have the power to work within themselves and together locally to create more compassionate responses to suffering and to affirm the dignity of all members of their school communities. Creating Compassionate Change in School Communities offers a valuable approach to integrating wellness into schools, as much for principals and superintendents as for teacher leaders, librarians, counselors, resource specialists, and others who work to create the conditions for compassion and dignity in their school.

The fourth edition of this widely used textbook on pricing and hedging of financial derivatives now also includes dynamic equilibrium theory and continues to combine sound mathematical principles with economic applications. Concentrating on the probabilistic theory of continuous time arbitrage pricing of financial derivatives, including stochastic optimal control theory and optimal stopping theory, Arbitrage Theory in Continuous Time is designed for graduate students in economics and mathematics, and combines the necessary mathematical background with a solid economic focus. It includes a solved example for every new technique presented, contains numerous exercises, and suggests further reading in each chapter. All concepts and ideas are discussed, not only from a mathematics point of view, but with lots of intuitive economic arguments.In the substantially extended fourth edition Tomas Björk has added completely new chapters on incomplete markets, treating such topics as the Esscher transform, the minimal martingale measure, f-divergences, optimal investment theory for incomplete markets, and good deal bounds. This edition includes an entirely new section presenting dynamic equilibrium theory, covering unit net supply endowments models and the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross equilibrium factor model. Providing two full treatments of arbitrage theory-the classical delta hedging approach and the modern martingale approach-this book is written so that these approaches can be studied independently of each other, thus providing the less mathematically-oriented reader with a self-contained introduction to arbitrage theory and equilibrium theory, while at the same time allowing the more advanced student to see the full theory in action. This textbook is a natural choice for graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying finance and an invaluable introduction to mathematical finance for mathematicians and professionals in the market.

A searing, cerebral, high-stakes knockout (Prairies Book Review) international political espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kyle Mills. Wall to wall action. Great book, as recommended by bestselling thriller author Brad Thor on Today. Fade is a badass operator whom even a coma can t stop. . . . Plenty of action, plenty of fun. -Kirkus ReviewsWhen ex-navy SEAL Salam Fade al-Fayed steps in front of a sniper s bullet, he assumes that he s reached the end of the road-his death wish has finally been answered. Instead, he wakes in a hospital. As one of the deadliest operatives in U.S. history, he s now incapable of even standing without assistance. Alone and wanted by authorities, he s destined to spend the rest of his life lying in a prison infirmary. So when a shadowy organization offers him a new identity and next-generation medical care, he has no choice but to agree. Nothing s free, though. After a grueling rehabilitation, he s drafted into an elite paramilitary unit. But who s in charge? When a dire threat-a highly contagious pathogen-explodes out of China, his question is quickly answered: A select group of the world s wealthiest and most powerful people has decided that governments are no longer capable of controlling the chaos erupting around the globe. It s a power grab by billionaires who ve decided that it s their time to rule. With panic rising, the leaders of both democracies and dictatorships prove equally willing to destroy anything and anyone to save themselves. Forced into action before he s fully ready, Fade finds himself at the sharp end of a mission to stop a menace unlike any he s faced before. If he fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. But what if he succeeds? No one elected the people he s working for. And God sure as hell didn t ordain them. Has he signed on to save the human race . . . or to help quietly enslave it? Fade In tackles the complex threats of international espionage, power imbalances, and global terrorism-and introduces a character destined to take his place among legends like Vince Flynn s Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum s Jason Bourne, Lee Child s Jack Reacher, and Daniel Silva s Gabriel Allon.
