 | A Leadership Guide for Women in Higher Education
Title: A Leadership Guide for Women in Higher Education
Author: Marjorie Hass
For years, Marjorie Hass, now the president of Rhodes College, was approached by women in higher education looking for advice and support as they took on leadership roles and navigated challenging career paths. Eventually, she began offering online seminars so she could meet in small groups to answer questions and encourage women to develop mutually supportive relationships. In A Leadership Guide for Women in Higher Education, Hass draws on her sixteen years of senior leadership experience, her work with national higher education organizations, and her mentorship work with dozens of women to address fundamental issues women face when they lead in higher education.
Aiming to level the playing field by giving women the insightful, supportive advice they need to advance in their careers and to lead with excellence, Hass combines practical information with career coaching. In this frank guide to launching, building, and advancing your academic career, Hass addresses a wide range of topics, including:
* deciding whether academic leadership is for you
* developing a personal leadership style
* becoming comfortable with power, ambition, and personal voice
* navigating patriarchal assumptions
* finding joy in leadership work
* gaining experience with budget management, revenue generation, personnel management, and fundraising-no matter your current job title
* effectively managing conflict
* aligning personal and career values and goals
* winning your next job
and much more
Women at any stage of their academic leadership career will find this guide insightful, useful, and empowering, as will anyone interested in supporting women leaders and diversifying leadership in higher education.

 | Assessment and Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom
Title: Assessment and Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom
Authors: Tonya R Moon & Carol Ann Tomlinson
Carol Ann Tomlinson and Tonya R. Moon take an in-depth look at assessment and show how differentiation can improve the process in all year levels and subject areas. After discussing differentiation in general, the authors focus on how differentiation applies to various forms of assessment – pre-assessment, formative assessment and summative assessment – and to grading and student reports. Readers learn how differentiation can:
- Capture student interest and increase motivation
- Clarify teachers’ understanding about what is most important to teach
- Enhance students’ and teachers’ belief in student learning capacity; and
- Help teachers understand their students’ individual similarities and differences so they can reach more students, more effectively
Throughout, the authors emphasise the importance of maintaining a consistent focus on the essential knowledge, understandings and skills that all students must acquire, no matter what their starting point.
Detailed scenarios illustrate how assessment differentiation can occur in three realms (student readiness, interest and learning style or preference) and how it can improve assessment validity and reliability and decrease errors and teacher bias.
Grounded in research and the authors’ teaching experience, Assessment and Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom outlines a common-sense approach that is both thoughtful and practical, and that empowers teachers and students to discover, strive for and achieve their full potential.

 | Beating the Odds
Beating the Odds
A practical guide to navigating sexism in Australian universities
Author: Marcia Devlin
This humorous book about a serious topic will help women learn to beat the current odds for their university career success and achieve their full potential. Marcia Devlin's tough, funny and practical guide to kicking the system in the butt will give women who read it an unfair advantage and help them fight the odds and win.
Devlin tells it like it is and it's not good. Men hold 75 percent of senior university roles in Australia. There are 86 percent more male than female professors at the top of the academic scale. And these figures are not shifting, or not shifting fast enough. While the book addresses success in the academic setting, its advice will be relevant to many professional women in other settings.
In a book that is both a call to arms and a roadmap to success, Devlin draws on her own experiences and those of hundreds of women, many of whom she has mentored, to reveal the attitudes, tactics and frameworks that have proved successful against the odds.
Readers of Beating the Odds, will:
· identify exactly how and why sexism is holding their career back
· learn how to plan in ways that mitigate the odds stacked against them
· respond to sexist tactics such as being interrupted, spoken over, and having their ideas stolen
· become bad at housework at home and at work
· use the time, energy and goodwill they save by being bad at housework for their advancement
· harness their anger in constructive ways
· laugh in the face of the system that tries to hold them back.
In her clarion call to women, Devlin unashamedly seeks to undermine the sexist way that universities operate and start a revolution towards gender equality in our intellectual seats of power.

Author: Carol Ann Tomlinson
9781416623304 How to Differentiate Instruction in Academically Diverse Classrooms : 3rd Edition
We differentiate instruction to honour the reality of the students we teach. They are energetic and outgoing. They are quiet and curious. They are confident and self-doubting. They are interested in a thousand things or deeply immersed in a particular topic. They are academically advanced or “kids in the middle” or struggling due to cognitive, emotional, economic or sociological challenges. More of them than ever speak a different language at home. They learn at different rates and in different ways. And they all come together in our academically diverse classrooms.
Written as a practical guide for teachers, this expanded third edition of Carol Ann Tomlinson’s ground-breaking work covers the fundamentals of differentiation and provides additional guidelines and new strategies for how to go about it.
You’ll learn :
*what differentiation is and why it’s essential
*how to set up the flexible and supportive learning environment that promotes success
*how to manage a differentiated classroom
*how to plan lessons differentiated by readiness, interest and learning profile
*how to differentiate content, process and products
*how to prepare students, parents and yourself for the challenge of differentiation.
First published in 1995 as How to Differentiate Instruction in Mixed-Ability Classrooms, this new edition reflects evolving best practices in education, the experiences of practitioners throughout the United States and around the world, and Tomlinson’s continuing thinking about how to help each and every student access challenging, high-quality curriculum; engage in meaning-rich learning experiences; and feel at home in a school environment that “fits”.

Coaching Conversations :
Transforming Your School One Conversation at a Time
Linda M. Gross Cheliotes, Marceta F. Reilly
Being a successful school leader has become an increasingly complex role that demands not only tremendous craft knowledge and skills but also highly developed interpersonal skills. This revision of the perennial best seller, Coaching Conversations: Transforming Your School One Conversation at a Time provides a simple handbook for school leaders that will provide them with effective coaching conversational techniques that will engage and motivate the members of their school communities to work collaboratively toward total school transformation.
Both research and the extensive experiences of the authors suggest that a very effective and inexpensive strategy to provide support and motivate staff as the entire school community transforms, is through simple yet powerful coaching conversations between the school leader and staff.
Nature of Content: Coaching Conversations: Transforming Your School One Conversation at a Time is meant to provide school leaders at all levels with simple, practical, easily learned and applied coach-like conversational techniques that will lead to open and reflective conversations with all members of the school community. The authors will distinguish coaching conversations from supervisory and mentoring conversations. Although these other forms of interactions have legitimate places in the interactions which take place within the school community, coaching conversations have the unique power to change the ways in which people think and interact in a positive manner that shifts responsibility for instructional improvement from just the school leader to every member of the school community. Because everyone potentially shares in the transformation of the school, they also share in the celebration of successful changes.

 | Dare to Lead
Title: Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.
Author: Brené Brown
In her #1 NYT bestsellers, Brene Brown taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential. This is a book for everyone who is ready to choose courage over comfort, make a difference and lead.
When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it and work to align authority and accountability. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into the vulnerability that's necessary to do good work.
But daring leadership in a culture that's defined by scarcity, fear and uncertainty requires building courage skills, which are uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the same time we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection and courage to start.
Brene Brown spent the past two decades researching the emotions that give meaning to our lives. Over the past seven years, she found that leaders in organisations ranging from small entrepreneurial start-ups and family-owned businesses to non-profits, civic organisations and Fortune 50 companies, are asking the same questions-
