Break through the bias barrierWhat can happen in 200 milliseconds? In a word, everything. In that short time, your subconscious mind has shaped your perceptions and influenced your behaviors. In other words, you have experienced bias-for better or for worse.Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students¿ biases and discover: The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students¿ actions How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's developmentImplicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened.

Have you ever had a dream that was so important that you were willing to give everything up for it? Friends, families, education? A dream that encapsulates everything you have ever wanted? A dream that is worth fighting for, despite the hand that life plays you?Meet Dena-the girl who grew up with her feet always dribbling around the curve of a soccer ball. Every move, every tackle, every hidden onset of the game, she is familiar with it all. She can hold her own against the best of players. After tragically losing a loved one, she finds herself in a game that is much more complicated than the one she is used to playing-the game of life.Read as she slowly learns how to get used to the intricacies of the game that she always took for granted: her relationship with her mother, coping with grief and loss, finding a place in a new city, the ups and downs of independence, losing and gaining new friends, and overcoming her struggling relationship with soccer as she joins an underground league.All of us have been Dena at some point in our lives and she leaves us with an important lesson: life is not very different from a soccer field-it's not the bruises we get along the game, it's the final score that matters.

Color in Architecture is used to embellish, decorate, separate, and define spaces, and to transmit and generate different sensations. The selection and effect of color in architecture is based on aesthetics (the nature of beauty and taste), social, and cultural factors. In Architecture for Kids 1, I showed you how architects develop ideas from single forms like squares, rectangles, circles, or even triangles. I also explained how textures, and light play with other elements to create designed spaces like buildings, parks or plazas, cities, or landscapes. In Architecture for Kids 2, we analyzed spaces as main components of design as well as some standard and recommended dimensions of rooms, and furniture. In this book, color is analyzed through a visual learning style that will help you to understand the impact and effect of color in architecture and people's emotions.

This book is the result of four years of research and a qualitative case study focused on understanding the challenges that supply chain is facing in the Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) industry. The book provides data gathered from historical and current sources. Preliminary research and literature review identified a major trend in supply chain around the world that is also affecting supply chain teams in the EPC industry. The general problem is a lack of contemporary leadership expertise and skills, which results in low productivity and low efficiency in the supply chain function. The supply chain function plays a significant role in the success of EPC firms; it is a discipline that contributes to the organization innovation processes, and the reduction of costs through the implementation of integrated solutions for clients.In an extremely competitive environment, continuous improvement is a necessary element of organizational success. The supply chain discipline is becoming more important and of immense value to different industries and companies around the world. The EPC industry requires a new generation of professionals with contemporary skills. This book is devoted to share the process of the qualitative case study research, the implications of the study results, the significance of the study, and recommendations for future research.
