The Literacy Learning Progressions - Literacy Progressions Japanac u Zagrebu - banka.hr Bankamagazin Objavljeno 09.52, 01.07.2011. Piše Željko Ivanković, glavni urednik Banke U četvrtak, 30. lipnja časopis Banka organizirao je u Zagrebu, u Novinarskom domu, predavanje japanskog veleposlanika Yoshia Tamure: Rebirth of Japan & a brief Review of Croatian Economy (Ponovno rođenje Japana & kratki pregled hrvatskog gospodarstva). Iako je predavanje bilo na engleskom i u vrijeme kad su godišnji odmori već počeli, posjet je bio dosta dobar. Rijetko koji od oko sedamdeset-osamdeset posjetilaca napustio je dvoranu prije kraja sat i četvrt dugog predavanja, premda ozvučenje nije najbolje funkcioniralo, a i veleposlanik Tamura nije uvijek govorio u mikrofon. Nakon predavanja, većina od onih s kojima sam razgovarao bila je zadovoljna, neki i jako. Pitanje je, naime, koliko su se zapravo razumjeli, odnosno koliko Hrvati uopće žele razumjeti ono što Japanci govore. Nedavno je na televiziji Marijana Petir, zastupnica HSS-a, govorila o tome "da treba uzeti u obzir da je Hrvatska prošla rat".

This interactive allows students to create their own trading card about a real or fictional person, place, object, event, or abstract concept.

My Room Makeover (Writing) / Year 7 / National Standards illustrations / National Standards: Reading and Writing / Student needs / Literacy Online / English - ESOL - Literacy Online website - English - ESOL - Literacy Online By the end of year 7, students are required to create a variety of texts in order to think about, record, and communicate experiences, ideas, and information across the curriculum. To meet the standard, students draw on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for writing described in the Literacy Learning Progressions for students at this level. The difference in the standard for year 8 [as compared with year 7] is the students’ increased accuracy and fluency in writing a variety of texts across the curriculum, their level of control and independence in selecting writingprocesses and strategies, and the range of texts they write. As part of a technology unit, the students in a year 7–8 class are identifying an aspect of their life and how it could be improved. The following example illustrates aspects of the task and text and demonstrates how a student engages with both task and text to meet the writing demands of the curriculum.

Total quality management Total quality management (TQM) consists of organization-wide efforts to install and make permanent a climate in which an organization continuously improves its ability to deliver high-quality products and services to customers. While there is no widely agreed-upon approach, TQM efforts typically draw heavily on the previously-developed tools and techniques of quality control. TQM enjoyed widespread attention during the late 1980s and early 1990s before being overshadowed by ISO 9000, Lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma. History[edit] In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the developed countries of North America and Western Europe suffered economically in the face of stiff competition from Japan's ability to produce high-quality goods at competitive cost. Development in the United States[edit] From the Navy, TQM spread throughout the US Federal Government, resulting in the following: Features[edit] The key concepts in the TQM effort undertaken by the Navy in the 1980s include:[11] Joseph M.
