Breakthrough Principals

A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Stronger Schools

By: Jean Desravines,Jaime Aquino,Benjamin Fenton

Bridge the achievement gap with proven strategies for student success Breakthrough Principals debunks the myth of the 'superhero' principal by detailing the common actions and practices of leaders at our nation's fastest-gaining public schools. Based on the authors' Transformational Leadership Framework, which they developed through in-depth study of more than 100 high-gaining, high-poverty schools, the book distills findings into a practical, action-focused plan for diagnosing school needs and implementing structures, systems and practices that accelerate student achievement. Brought to life by case studies of principals who have led dramatic gains in student achievement, the book is a how-to guide for increasing the quality of teaching and learning; improving school culture; attracting and supporting high-performing teachers; and involving parents and community to help students achieve. You'll learn how breakthrough principals make the school's mission a real part of both strategy and practice, and set up sustainable systems that support consistent, ongoing improvement. High-impact practices are organized into five broad categories: learning and teaching, school-wide culture, aligned staff, operations and systems, and personal leadership. The primary job of school leadership is to help students succeed. It begins with first recognizing and prioritizing areas of need, then finding and implementing the most effective solutions. Whether you work in a turn around environment, or want to make a good school better, this book will give you a set of concrete practices—illustrated through examples of real principals in real schools—that have been proven to work. Discover the primary drivers of student achievement Work toward the school's vision in staffing, operations, and systems Set the tone for all relationships and practices with good leadership Closing the achievement gap is a major goal of educational leadership, and principals are forever searching for viable methods that help them better serve their students. Breakthrough Principals unveils the details behind the success stories from across the nation to provide a roadmap to transformative gains.

Cooperation and Competition in a Common Market

Studies on the Formation of MERCOSUR

By: Jaime Behar

The essays included in this book are the result ofseven years ofresearch spanning the 1990-1997 period. Most of them have been published in scientific magazines or as chapters of books. To the end of this edition, and in order to avoid repetitions, the original texts have been modified, particularly with regard to the titles and introductions ofthe chapters. Chapter two reproduces the article "Economic Integration and Intra-Industry Trade: The Case of the Argentine-Brazilian Free Trade Agreement", published in the Journal of Common Markets (vol XXIX, No 5, pp. 527-552, sept. 1991). Chapter three originates from an empirical study prepared for UNIDO, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. The analytical framework and the preliminary conclusions of that work appeared in a working paper "The MERCOSUR Pattern of Intra-Industry Trade" (RP No 75, Stockholm: LAIS, 1997). Chapter four was published with the title "Plant-size Effects ofTrade: The Case of MERCOSUR Countries" as a chapter of the book Growth Trade and Integration in Latin America (W. Karlsson and A. Malaki (eds. ), Stockholm: LAIS, pp. 297-319, 1996). Chapter five in tum corresponds to the article entitled "Measuring the Effects of Economic Integration for the Southern Cone Countries: Industry Simulations of Trade Liberalization" as published in The Developing Economies (Vol. XXXIII, No 1, pp. 1-31, mars 1995). Finally, chapter six is the revised and updated version of the paper presented at the First European Congress ofLatinamericanists, which took place at Salamanca, Spain in June 1996.

When the Impossible Happens

From Skepticism to Complete Belief

By: Jaime T. Licauco

“As an old and dear friend of Jaime Licauco, a fellow writer and a fan, I can only say that the title When the Impossible Happens: From Skepticism to Complete Belief serves a dual purpose. The unfolding of the fantastic events of his life is the first part—though they often seem impossible, clearly, they are not. The fact that he has finally agreed to tackle the challenge of opening himself to the world, is yet another courageous and impossible task that is now coming to fruition.” — From the Foreword by Andrea Cagan

The Monfort Plan

The New Architecture of Capitalism

By: Jaime Pozuelo-Monfort

The Monfort Plan is a five-year, forward looking plan to eradicate extreme poverty from the developing world, and details how microfinance has made a difference to developing countries. This book proposes a new institution based in the developing world with the potential to provide a basic, free, and universal service in the areas of water, sanitation, healthcare, and education to the extreme poor worldwide. The provision will be subject to a certain degree of conditionality in areas ranging from corruption to legal environment. The new institution will be established in a new international territory based within a specific country in Subsaharan Africa and will emerge in 2015. In The Monfort Plan author Jaime Pozuelo-Monfort engineers and designs a solution to lessen the burden of poverty. In order to do so he relies on the social sciences to bring about innovation and forward looking economic policies and financial instruments in the context of a paradigm shift. This book presents a multidisciplinary approach to policymaking that combines a range of fields in the social sciences, looking at the history behind the Marshall Plan, the formation of the European Union, and the Bretton Woods Institutions, in order to determine how a Marshall Plan for Africa-and the creation of New Institutions in the developing world-could work. We live a moment of crisis in which creative policymaking might prove useful when proposing outcomes for a revitalized framework for capitalism to thrive and better serve the world. Walks you through the technicalities of the new architecture of capitalism in a straightforward manner Provides a holistic view of how microfinance combined with the right economic policies and financial instruments could help change the world for the poor Contains sweeping and detailed recommendations on how to build a new capitalist paradigm that helps elevate the poor and improve the human condition Incorporating commentary from some of the top minds in the field of microfinance, this book puts the method of microfinance in perspective.

Understanding the Psychic Powers of Man (Revised Edition)

By: Jaime T. Licauco

A product of Jaime Licauco’s knowledge about psychic and paranormal matters — a summary of the most significant lessons he had learned from years of reading and research, as well as true-to-life experiences of people who shared their psychic stories with him. It is the first book of its kind written by a Filipino author and has become a classic in the field since it first came out in commercial book form in 1978. Although the flavor of the original edition was retained, the new edition contains a great deal of new theories and findings on neuroscience and parapsychology.

Rebel Mexico

Student Unrest and Authoritarian Political Culture During the Long Sixties

By: Jaime M. Pensado

Winner of the 2014 Mexican Book Prize In the middle of the twentieth century, a growing tide of student activism in Mexico reached a level that could not be ignored, culminating with the 1968 movement. This book traces the rise, growth, and consequences of Mexico's "student problem" during the long sixties (1956-1971). Historian Jaime M. Pensado closely analyzes student politics and youth culture during this period, as well as reactions to them on the part of competing actors. Examining student unrest and youthful militancy in the forms of sponsored student thuggery (porrismo), provocation, clientelism (charrismo estudiantil), and fun (relajo), Pensado offers insight into larger issues of state formation and resistance. He draws particular attention to the shifting notions of youth in Cold War Mexico and details the impact of the Cuban Revolution in Mexico's universities. In doing so, Pensado demonstrates the ways in which deviating authorities—inside and outside the government—responded differently to student unrest, and provides a compelling explanation for the longevity of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional.

Soul Mates, Karma and Reincarnation

By: Jaime T. Licauco

Is is true we have lived before this lifetime? Why was the concept of reincarnation removed from the teachings of the Christian Church? What is karma? What are the rules governing it? Why did Edgar Cayce define karma as simply “meeting yourself”? Does each of us have a soul mate? How do we recognize our soul mate when we meet him or her? Why do we seldom meet our soul mate? Can we invoke or pray for a soul mate to appear in our life? These and many other fascinating questions about human relationships, universal justice and multiple rebirth are discussed in this much awaited book on Soul Mates, Karma and Reincarnation. This is the only local book on this subject written by JAIME T. LICAUCO, the country’s foremost authority on mind development, paranormal phenomena and Philippine mysticism. Drawing on his vast knowledge of esoteric sciences, Mr. Licauco provides the reader with an in-depth explanation of soul mates, karma and reincarnation.

From the Profound to the Profane

A Collection of Controversial and Thought-Provoking Articles

By: Jaime T. Licauco

“I believe we should not compartmentalize our mind. We should be interested in everything that can be learned from whatever source. That’s the only way we can enrich our mind and not become dogmatic and fanatic about our beliefs.” — Jaime T. Licauco From the Preface In From the Profound to the Profane, Licauco dug deeper into today’s most controversial topics—from reincarnation, Christianity, spirits, extrasensory perception, currents events, and to all things metaphysical. Not only did Licauco probe such mystic things, but he also delved into some aspects of our existence.
