Founder Samuel Levin, a high school junior who had already achieved international fame for creating Project Sprout-the first farm-to-school lunch program in the United States-was frustrated with his own education and saw disaffection among his peers. In response, he lobbied for and created a new school based on a few simple ideas about what kids need from their high school experience. The school succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations and went on to be featured in Newsweek, NPR, and the Washington Post. Since its beginnings in 2010, the Independent Project serves as a national model for inspiring student engagement. In creating his school, Samuel collaborated with Susan Engel, the noted developmental psychologist, educator, and author-and Samuel's mother. A School of Our Own is their account of their life-changing year in education, a book that combines poignant stories, educational theory, and practical how-to advice for building new, more engaging educational environments for our children"--Provided by publisher.Student participation in curriculum planningMassachusettsGreat BarringtonStudent participation in administrationMassachusettsGreat BarringtonEducational changeMassachusettsGreat BarringtonEDUCATION / Educational Policy & Reform / GeneralbisacshEDUCATION / Teaching Methods & Materials / GeneralbisacshStudent participation in curriculum planningStudent participation in administrationEducational changeEDUCATION / Educational Policy & Reform / General.EDUCATION / Teaching Methods & Materials / General.370.97441EDU034000EDU029000bisacshLevin Samuel196287Engel Susan L.1959-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136653603321A school of our own2888848UNINA03656nam 2200637 450 99623484110331620230807193406.03-11-044536-03-11-044562-X10.1515/9783110445626(CKB)3710000000482433(EBL)4006864(SSID)ssj0001543293(PQKBManifestationID)16135723(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001543293(PQKBWorkID)14366536(PQKB)10360994(MiAaPQ)EBC4006864(DE-B1597)457247(OCoLC)945755531(OCoLC)952807775(DE-B1597)9783110445626(EXLCZ)99371000000048243320151124h20152015 uy 0engur|nu---|u||utxtccrTowards a theory of epistemically significant perception how we relate to the world /Nadja El KassarBerlin, [Germany] :De Gruyter,2015.©20151 online resource (376 p.)Ideen & Argumente,1862-1147Description based upon print version of record.3-11-057827-1 3-11-044521-2 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Front matter --Acknowledgments --Contents --Introduction --Part I Conceptualism --1 Introducing Conceptualism --2 Examining Non-Conceptualist Arguments against Conceptualism --3 Examining McDowell's Revised Conceptualism --Part II Relationism --4 Relationism: Perception as Conscious Acquaintance --5 Relationism as Anti-Representationalism --6 Why McDowell's Revised Conceptualism Does Not Avoid Travis's Anti-Representationalist Criticism --Part III Relational Conceptualism --7 Relational Conceptualism: a Theory of Epistemically Significant Perception --8 Possible Objections against Relational Conceptualism --Part IV. Relational Conceptualism and Empirical Science --9 Broadening the Scope of Relational Conceptualism --References --Author Index --Subject IndexHow does perceptual experience make us knowledgeable about the world? In this book Nadja El Kassar argues that an informed answer requires a novel theory of perception: perceptual experience involves conceptual capacities and consists in a relation between a perceiver and the world. Contemporary theories of perception disagree about the role of content and conceptual capacities in perceptual experience. In her analysis El Kassar scrutinizes the arguments of conceptualist and relationist theories, thereby exposing their limitations for explaining the epistemic role of perceptual experience. Against this background she develops her novel theory of epistemically significant perception. Her theory improves on current accounts by encompassing both the epistemic role of perceptual experiences and its perceptual character. Central claims of her theory receive additional support from work in vision science, making this book an original contribution to the philosophy of perception.Ideen & Argumente.Perception (Philosophy)ConceptualismRelationismPerception (Philosophy)Conceptualism.Relationism.121/.34El Kassar Nadja1984-1005149MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996234841103316Towards a theory of epistemically significant perception2310332UNISA05535oam 22012374 450 991078833810332120230721045620.01-4623-4770-31-4527-2585-397866128430821-282-84308-71-4518-7235-6(CKB)3170000000055235(EBL)1608236(SSID)ssj0000940086(PQKBManifestationID)11576138(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000940086(PQKBWorkID)10946363(PQKB)10711506(OCoLC)466422400(MiAaPQ)EBC1608236(IMF)WPIEE2009088(EXLCZ)99317000000005523520020129d2009 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrChile’s Structural Fiscal Surplus Rule : A Model-Based Evaluation /Michael Kumhof, Douglas LaxtonWashington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2009.1 online resource (56 p.)IMF Working PapersDescription based upon print version of record.1-4519-1670-1 Includes bibliographical references.Contents; I.

Optimality for Manufacturing FirmsThe paper analyzes Chile's structural balance fiscal rule in the face of copper price shocks originating in foreign copper demand. It uses a version of the IMF's Global Integrated Monetary and Fiscal Model (GIMF) that includes a copper sector. Two results are obtained. First, Chile's current fiscal rule performs well if the policymaker puts a small weight on output volatility (relative to inflation volatility) in his/her objective function. A more aggressive countercyclical fiscal rule can attain lower output volatility, but there is a trade-off with (somewhat) higher inflation volatility and (much) higher volatility of fiscal variables. Second, given its current stock of government assets, Chile's adoption of a 0.5% surplus target starting in 2008 is desirable from a business cycle perspective. This is because the earlier 1% target would have required significant further asset accumulation that could only have been accomplished at the expense of greater volatility in fiscal instruments and therefore in GDP.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/088Fiscal policyChileFinance, PublicChileInvestments: MetalsimfInflationimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfMetals and Metal ProductsimfCementimfGlassimfCeramicsimfMacroeconomics: ConsumptionimfSavingimfWealthimfLabor Economics: GeneralimfPrice LevelimfDeflationimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfInvestment & securitiesimfLabourimfincome economicsimfPublic finance & taxationimfCopperimfConsumptionimfLaborimfRevenue administrationimfEconomicsimfLabor economicsimfPricesimfRevenueimfChileimfFiscal policyFinance, PublicInvestments: MetalsInflationMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceMetals and Metal ProductsCementGlassCeramicsMacroeconomics: ConsumptionSavingWealthLabor Economics: GeneralPrice LevelDeflationTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralInvestment & securitiesLabourincome economicsPublic finance & taxationCopperConsumptionLaborRevenue administrationEconomicsLabor economicsPricesRevenueKumhof Michael1472664Laxton Douglas1462103DcWaIMFBOOK9910788338103321Chile’s Structural Fiscal Surplus Rule3685586UNINA
