Description
It is the premise of this book that to successfully respond to today's increased 'accountability and testing' expectations educational institutions and other organisations, administrators and especially teachers and others responsible for organisational learning must become more tolerant of and perceptive enough to recognise how increased attention to learning differences or styles among their students or learners is central to not only meeting the new demands being placed on them but to also find alternate ways of enhancing and measuring the learning that does take place. For our purposes, understanding the role of learning style in the learning process is an important concept for those committed to meeting the demands being placed on education and their own personal commitment to learning excellence, be it teachers, training and development professional, staff, administrators or other leaders or others involved in the educational process. learning style differences is at the core of what it will take to better prepare students to learn while also meeting the demands of the many stakeholders who continue to set higher and higher learning performance expectations with the goal that no child 'or adult' is left behind.

娜拉，如果妳在挪威長大
By 李濠仲挪威，一個經常將報紙頭版讓位給親職新聞的王國，有著良善的育兒福利。新生兒不僅享有出生補助和每月生活津貼，醫療就診費用也全數由國家買單。為了培養兒童健康的學習態度，挪威採行「快樂童年」的教育政策。雖與「贏在起跑點」的慣行教育背道而馳，但在聯合國教科文組織的學生平均素質評鑑上，挪威的學生卻常名列前茅。 作者李濠仲在女兒娜拉出生後，一步步學習當父母。並從挪威重視兒童與教養過程中發現：在看似「放任」的教育方式、重視獨立人格養成的背後，挪威教育理念所具備的寬闊眼光和心胸。於是他開始設想，如果娜拉真的在挪威長大，從嬰兒、幼稚園、基礎教育到成年，會是如何的成長過程。 作者簡介 李濠仲 一九七六年生，文化大學新聞系畢業，曾為《新新聞周報》《聯合晚報》政治組記者，二○○九年辭去記者工作，隨任職於外交部的妻子遠赴挪威，於異國開始從事寫作。二○一五年夏天返台。持續透過閱讀、觀察、採訪，延續記者工作未盡之事。著有《挪威縮影：奧斯陸觀察筆記》《挪威，綠色驚嘆號！》《安然無恙不比遺憾好》《北歐超完美丈夫的秘密》《小國的靈魂》《挪威人教我，比工作更重要的事》等書。
