Book Description
ABOUT THIS BOOKHow to Choose your Career, or Round Pegs in Square Holes, is one of the latest works by Marden, and among the best treaties in vocational orientation there is. This book should be a requirement for every young person when choosing a career, because, as the author says, a lot of times you will be choosing a life style. Most people make this fundamental decision without preparation, without even thinking of the transcendence of their actions. Marden emphasizes on the tragedy of "the misfit", on the ill-chosen vocations, on the choosing a job or a career just because it is "easy", or in the doing something just to follow on a parent's footstep. You have to be proud of your job, says Marden. Your occupation should elevate -never debase you. You have to be in harmony with your job or career, even make a hobby out of it, and do it with discipline and effort. You should never feel like a fish out of the water. Remember, says Marden, this is not about "making a living", this is about "making a life". Your life.

Book Description
Preparing Students for College and Careers addresses measurement and research issues related to college and career readiness. Educational reform efforts across the United States have increasingly taken aim at measuring and improving postsecondary readiness. These initiatives include developing new content standards, redesigning assessments and performance levels, legislating new developmental education policy for colleges and universities, and highlighting gaps between graduates’ skills and employers’ needs. In this comprehensive book, scholarship from leading experts on each of these topics is collected for assessment professionals and for education researchers interested in this new area of focus. Cross-disciplinary chapters cover the current state of research, best practices, leading interventions, and a variety of measurement concepts, including construct definitions, assessments, performance levels, score interpretations, and test uses.

Book Description
This book provides valuable information and practical insights regarding preparing for and pursuing a successful faculty career. It offers essential guidance through sequential chapters that consider the various stages of a successful faculty career, including what faculty members need to know with respect to each lesson and the role of each topic in contributing to career success. Each lesson also provides useful career guidance regarding things that faculty members should do as well as avoid doing during each stage of a faculty career. The book is designed to serve as an essential learning tool in related career preparation courses as well as a valuable self-study and reference source for faculty members. The unfortunate reality is that most graduate programs do not provide essential career guidance regarding the roles and responsibilities of becoming and succeeding as a faculty member. The phrase “hidden curriculum” has been used to describe this unfortunate reality. New faculty members often discover that they are expected to know so many essential things once they become a faculty member. The mission of this book is, therefore, to contribute to the success of readers throughout their careers as faculty members and enhance their ability to meet and exceed the expectations of their students, institution, and other stakeholders. The various lessons are designed to enhance faculty success throughout one’s career as well as the meaningfulness and pleasure of one’s faculty career.
