68. From Dr. Frankenstein to Dr.
Strangelove, from the grave
robbers of yesteryear to the
cloners of today, scientists in
movies are almost invariably
mad, evil, antisocial, clumsy or
eccentric. And science and
technology themselves are
usually seen as forces of
destruction rather than of
good.
How Do We Portray Science in Films & TV?

80. • A growing body of evidence
suggests grades don't predict
success; C+ students are the
ones who end up running the
world.
• Students often learn the
most from the classes in
which they fail to achieve
above average grades.
• Success is more likely to
come from unrelenting
curiosity than academic
achievement.

102. When do we need to start
thinking about cultivating talent?
105. "There's increasing evidence that children gain a
lot from going to preschool," says Kathleen
McCartney, PhD, Dean of Harvard Graduate
School of Education.
• At preschool, children become exposed to
numbers, letters, and shapes. And, more
important, they learn how to socialize – get along
with other children, share, and learn to effectively
communicate.
• Children who attend high-quality preschools
enter kindergarten with better pre-reading skills,
richer vocabularies, and stronger basic math
skills than those who do not.
Preschool & Kindergarten Are The
Building Blocks Of Life-Long Education

108. 1. More Time: KIPP students receive a significantly greater amount of
instructional time than their peers attending non-KIPP schools.
2. Choice and Commitment: The decision to join a KIPP program is a
choice exercised by all parents, students, and staff.
3. Power to Lead: KIPP school leaders are empowered to make timely
decisions involving staffing, curriculum and instruction, and other day to
day operational decisions.
4. Focus on Results: All decisions made within KIPP schools are made
based on sound empirical sources of information.
5. High Expectations: KIPP program administrators expect that all
scholars will go on to high performing college preparatory high schools
and will have the character and leadership skills necessary to for success
throughout their lives.

110. Programs That Work For Employers & The Future Workforce
Apprenticeships — On‐the‐job training and related classroom instruction
provides students with an opportunity to learn the practical and theoretical
aspects of highly skilled occupations. Joint employer and labor groups,
individual employers and employer associations sponsor apprenticeship
programs.
Internships — While spending time in a business, industry or other
organization, students gain insight into and direct experience with different
types of work environments. Internships can be paid or unpaid.
Job shadowing and mentoring days — These activities are designed to allow
students to "shadow" or observe workplace mentors as they go through a
normal day on the job. Job shadowing and mentoring provide students with a
realistic look at the workplace.
111. School‐based enterprises — Tapping
into entrepreneurial talents, students
organize into a group to produce
goods or services for sale. Your
success as a business leader places
you in a position to offer advice to
these future entrepreneurs.
Service learning — Students expand
their horizons by combining
meaningful community service with
academic learning, personal growth
and civic responsibility.
Programs That Work For Employers & The Future Workforce

118. Independent Study, or I.S., is the
most distinctive feature of a
Wooster education. Each Wooster
senior creates an original research
project, written work, performance,
or exhibit of artwork, supported
one-on-one by a faculty mentor.
According to U.S. News & World
Report, college presidents and
deans consider I.S. one of the best
senior capstone programs in the
country.

121. • Three out of 4 young professionals
under the age of 28 place more
importance on the quality of the
community than the availability of
jobs. (Source: Next Generation
Consulting, February 2002).
• In 2007, Ohio’s population of 18 to 24-
year-olds increased by only 0.2
percent, and Ohio’s population of 22
to 44-year-olds decreased by 1.2
percent.

young professionals have had up to
nine jobs (Source: Time Magazine)

133. Video Games at Work?
Forget the coffee. Companies
are setting up break rooms with
video games to create a fun
office atmosphere and‐‐believe
it or not‐‐increase productivity.
Be sure to select appropriate
games for office play. For
example, Grand Theft Auto and
other violent games may not be
appropriate for team‐building
exercises.

134. • Gartner Dataquest reported in

Goldman Sachs, Principal Financial Group, S.C. Johnson &
Son, Yahoo, and Qualcomm, continue to lead the pack with

135. Telecommuting Global Trends
• Most of the “best companies to
work for” allow their employees to
telecommute from home and/or
WI-FI hot spots.
• Corporations that truly “trust”
their employees to work from
home see the benefits of
telecommuting on their balance
sheets.
• More than 100 million workers
telecommute worldwide.

136. • Environmentally-friendly
• Unproductive time becomes productive time
• Employees experience less time off due to illness, and won't take as
much time off for personal issues
• Employees will work at least the normal length of the average work day
and are less likely to waste time “gossiping” with co-workers
• Employers can reduce other perks of the job such as mileage
reimbursement and company cars
• Employers who offer telecommuting opportunities appear more
appealing to new employees and, additionally, reduce the turnover rate
of existing employees

In what was considered the first event of its kind, Santa Clara University School of Law
held an open house in the virtual world of Second Life on Jan. 22, 2009.
Visitors to Second Life, an Internet‐based universe where real‐life users assign
themselves as cartoon characters and go to virtual, animated locations, visited Santa
Clara Island to see the school’s virtual campus.
The event was designed to attract potential students and emphasize the law school's
close ties with the technology industry in the Silicon Valley area of California.
"We need to meet prospective law students where they are, and more and more, we
find potential law students on various online arenas, including virtual worlds," said
Julia Yaffee, senior assistant dean of external relations, in a press release.

146. A Few Things Every Boss Can Do
To Cultivate Top Talent…
149. Studies have shown that retaining top talent comes
down to three key strategies.
What Keeps Talented Workers Content?
http://www.keepem.com/doc_files/Ret_Drivers_Report_081204(ext).pdf
150. Management Styles That Inspire Loyalty
Golden Rule of Supervision
Ask employees what they want and need to do their work and what it
takes to keep them.
Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood
Provide constant feedback — clearly, truthfully, and respectfully—and,
in return, listen closely and carefully.
Praise in Public, Criticize in Private
Look for creative, meaningful ways to recognize and reward workers.
151. Sow Seeds of Support and Cultivate
Continual Learning and Growth
Remember That Cultivation Requires Constant Attention
Find ways to continuously develop and grow workers’ talents.
Don’t Be The Oppressive Thumb
Help workers identify opportunities for moving laterally and vertically.
Facilitate The Development Of Talent
Link workers to mentors, coaches, leaders, or colleagues for guidance
and support.
152. Work Environment – Create One That Works
Let Fun Happen
Happy employees are productive employees.
Keep Your Office Door Open
Share information freely and regularly.
Value Employees’ Skills & Abilities
Give people space— providing the freedom to get the job done in ways
that work best for them, from their schedule and attire to their
approach and process.
155. In addition to taking part in weekly "nuts and bolts"
legal seminars, clerks at Nutter spend their summers
working with attorneys in and out of the office. Nutter
aggressively encourages partners and associates to
bring summer associates along to court, to closings,
to events where they can see lawyers at all levels in
action. Nutter also sponsors monthly “wine downs”
where staff are treated to wine and h'orderves.
Meaningful Work Means
More Than Free Food
(But Free Food Is Still Cool)
