Taking Flight

Making Your Center for Teaching and Learning Soar

By: Laura Cruz,Michele A. Parker,Brian Smentkowski,Marina Smitherman

Taking Flight synthesizes research on best practices for running centers of teaching and learning, providing practical guidance and resources for educational developers who are looking to open new centers; revitalize an underperforming center; or sustain and enhance an effective center. The authors offer the necessary background, relevant examples, and practical exercises specifically designed to support the sustained vitality of educational development and its role in fostering organizational change. The book is practical in nature, with step sheets, diagrams, and similar materials designed to facilitate reflection and application. The book guides educational developers in enhancing and applying their knowledge, skills and abilities to establish a leadership role which, in turn, will enable them to play a pivotal role in translating visionary strategies into meaningful actions across their respective campuses. An effective, well-managed center for teaching and learning has the potential to benefit its institution’s faculty, staff, students, and community members. Through fostering a productive relationship with campus administration, centers can improve morale, contribute to shaping and achieving institutional learning mission and outcomes, enhance institutional reputation, and make a contribution to the practice of teaching and learning across the academy. The materials in Taking Flight were honed through a series of national workshops developed under the aegis of the POD Network – the professional organization for educational developers in the United States. This book answers a need for a resource for directors and staff of centers that has been identified by leaders in the field. It also provides valuable context for all leaders concerned about student learning and the improvement of teaching.

Infrared Spectroscopy in Conservation Science

By: Michele R. Derrick,Dusan Stulik,James M. Landry

This book provides practical information on the use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy for the analysis of materials found in cultural objects. Designed for scientists and students in the fields of archaeology, art conservation, microscopy, forensics, chemistry, and optics, the book discusses techniques for examining the microscopic amounts of complex, aged components in objects such as paintings, sculptures, and archaeological fragments. Chapters include the history of infrared spectroscopy, the basic parameters of infrared absorption theory, IR instrumentation, analysis methods, sample collection and preparation, and spectra interpretation. The authors cite several case studies, such as examinations of Chumash Indian paints and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Institute’s Tools for Conservation series provides practical scientific procedures and methodologies for the practice of conservation. The series is specifically directed to conservation scientists, conservators, and technical experts in related fields.

A Line Between Friends

By: Michele VanOrt Cozzens

After twenty years of friendship, Noelle Moncada receives a brief note from her friend, Joel Rolland, asking her to end all contact with him. Noelle cannot figure out why. Was it something she did or said? Was it because of his wife? Was it because once in their long friendship they had crossed the line between friends and had a night of passion?

Father’S Day

By: Ramona Michele Greene

Life is no longer simple for the famous British rockers of the band, Ministers of Parliament. Once upon a time, the headlining Parker brothers lived lives of parties and excess. Now, theyve settled down and gotten married. With a slew of sudden real-life dramatics, the theatrics of the stage seem less important. Robin almost just lost his wife to an illness she picked up while on tour in Japan. Recovered from sickness, Shelly is told shes pregnant, to Robins shock and awe. Meanwhile, his brother George struggles to keep his marriage to Debra intact, and their adventurous cousin Terry has found love with the exotic Rachel. Decisions need to be made. Robin fears leaving Shelly for another tour, so retirement might be his only optionbut what will that do to the rest of the band? George wonders if its even worth trying to salvage his relationship with Debra. Terry is haunted by a strange sense of impending doom where his love life is concerned. Will the Parker family find bliss, or will their decisions end in loss and pain?
