I am entering a middle management position or the first time in a large company in lieu of another position in the same company. It was interesting how reflective this course was of my own analytical process when choosing between the different positions. In regards to the "new attitude" of corporations, is there any reading that can be suggested to better understand what is going on at higher levels? Alot of confusion is rampant locally, but most of that is due to miscommunication, which has led to a feeling of dissent amongst my colleagues.

Something I've learned about teaching over the years is that it is never great to teach things as "the only way". Stick to the curriculum, but invite your students experiences into the class room and show how the basic techniques influence each other.

I know this is fundemental, but another way to prevent cheating is to ensure that the desk is cleared of all outside objects except for the nessecary implments for testing.

At my school we give an entry level assessment for general education. This allows us to forecast student behaviors in the classroom and teach to the student better. Does anyone else have this process?

I have been working for around 19 years in the same profession. I am currently gainfully employed, but about a year ago I was "fired" for the first time ever. I have asked my former employer for some explanation, but have still not gotten a solid response. I'm trying to let this go, but have noticed the stress of it affecting the way I interpret information from my new job (which is done mostly electronically). Any suggestions or like stories?
