"Trust Matters offers educators a practical, hands-on guide for establishing and maintaining trust within their schools as well as providing information on how to repair trust that has been damaged. Written by Megan Tschannen-Moran - an expert on the topic of trust and schools - Trust Matters is based in solid research. It outlines the five key elements on which individuals base their trust judgments (benevolence, honesty, openness, reliability, and competency) and explores the factors that influence the development of trust. The book explores the leader's role in fostering high quality relationships among teachers, students, and parents and examines examples of positive outcomes of trusting school environments." "Each chapter contains a "Putting It into Action" section that offers practical advice for utilizing the book's key suggestions in schools. The book also provides surveys, scoring directions, and norms for assigning the level of trust in schools."--Jacket.
"Se non sarà fermato, non si fermerà." Non esistono indizi, ma segni. Non esistono crimini, solo anomalie. E ogni morte è l'inizio di un racconto. Questo è il romanzo di un uomo che non ha più niente - non ha identità, non ha memoria, non ha amore né odio - se non la propria rabbia... E un talento segreto. Perché Marcus è l'ultimo dei penitenzieri: è un prete che ha la capacità di scovare le anomalie e di intravedere i fili che intessono la trama di ogni omicidio. Ma questa trama rischia di essere impossibile da ricostruire, anche per lui. Questo è il romanzo di una donna che sta cercando di ricostruire se stessa. Anche Sandra lavora sulle scene del crimine, ma diversamente da Marcus non si deve nascondere, se non dietro l'obiettivo della sua macchina fotografica. Percheé Sandra è una fotorilevatrice della polizia: il suo talento è fotografare il nulla, per renderlo visibile. Ma stavolta il nulla rischia di inghiottirla. Questo è il romanzo di una follia omicida che risponde a un disegno, terribile eppure seducente. E ogni volta che Marcus e Sandra pensano di aver afferrato un lembo della verità, scoprono uno scenario ancora più inquietante e minaccioso. Questo è il romanzo che leggerete combattendo la stessa lotta di Marcus, scontrandovi con gli stessi enigmi che attanagliano Sandra, vivendo delle stesse speranze e delle stesse paure fino all'ultima riga. "If you will not stop, it will not stop." There is no sign, only clues. There are no crimes, only anomalies. And every death is the beginning of a story. This is the novel of a man who has nothing - no identity, no memory, no love or hatred - if not their anger.... And a secret talent. Marcus... is a priest who has the ability to find anomalies and to glimpse the threads that weave the plot of each murder. But this story is likely to be impossible to reconstruct, even for him. This is the novel of a woman who is trying to rebuild herself. Sandra also works on crime scenes, but unlike Marcus does not have to hide, if not behind the lens of his camera. Because Sandra is a policewoman: her talent is nothing to photograph, to make it visible. But this time nothing is likely to be accepted. This is the novel of a killing spree that responds to a design, terrible yet seductive. And every time Marcus and Sandra think they've grabbed a piece of the truth, they discover a scenario even more disturbing and threatening. This is the novel where Marcus has the same puzzles that afflict Sandra, experiencing the same hopes and the same fears to the last line."
