Stoic Empathy
What if you could lead with strength and compassion? Negotiate effectively and ethically? Live from rigorous principles and deep connection? Find answers in this radical new paradigm of personal power. "A radical approach to influence rooted in ethical strength. . . . A profound blend of philosophy, personal story, and actionable insights that will inspire readers to lead with both heart and mind." -- Dr. Mike Dow, New York Times best-selling author of The Brain Fog Fix Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like an oxymoron. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. We think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone else is feeling. In this book, Shermin Kruse offers a radical alternative. She outlines a form of empathy that's based in cognition instead--a way for us to understand what the other person is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their emotive state--and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of engagement from "emotional empathy" to "cognitive empathy" in all kinds of circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to explain the mechanics of emotional regulation and control. With this radical perspective shift, Kruse builds a bridge between the rigor of Stoic philosophy and the relational impact of empathy. She gives us the knowledge and discipline we need to: Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of othersDefuse danger and turn conflict into connectionSkillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we wantWhether you're a leader striving to succeed in your role with integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion, a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.

Emotional Intelligence in Teaching
This book explores how emotional intelligence (EI) influences teacher effectiveness in higher secondary schools. It finds that teachers generally have high EI and effectiveness. Gender and specialization impact EI levels, with females and certain subject teachers scoring higher, while factors like school location, experience, and age show little effect. Teacher effectiveness, however, varies significantly by age but not by gender, location, or specialization. A moderate positive link between EI and effectiveness highlights the need for emotional skills in teaching. The study suggests workshops, training programs, and awards to improve EI, leading to better teaching and student success.
Effect of Early Childhood Education on Lower Primary Cognition
This study examined the effect of Early Childhood Education (ECE) on the cognitive development of pupils in lower primary education in Kamonyi District, Rwanda. Guided by three objectives-examining the accessibility, availability, and affordability of ECE; identifying aspects of cognitive development; and determining ECE's effect on cognitive growth-the study surveyed 158 respondents from a target population of 260 using descriptive and correlational research designs. Data were analyzed through SPSS and thematic methods. Findings revealed limited accessibility (13.52%) and affordability (mean = 2.85) of ECE. Only 14.7% of teachers reported standard cognitive development in pupils. Regression results showed physical learning environment (R簡 = 0.414), teacher-pupil interaction (R簡 = 0.470), and parental involvement (R簡 = 0.265) significantly influenced cognitive outcomes. The study concludes that poor ECE access negatively affects cognitive development and recommends increased parental enrollment efforts and improved teaching methods.

The Impact of Parental Involve on Pupils' Academic Performance
This book investigates the impact of parental involvement on pupils' academic performance in selected private primary schools in Jakarta Metropolis, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research utilizes a structured questionnaire divided into demographic and thematic sections to systematically gather both quantitative and qualitative data from parents. Secondary sources, including academic articles and educational policy reports, provide additional context and triangulation. The study is anchored in Epstein's Framework of Parental Involvement and draws on parenting style theories to interrogate how different forms of engagement influence motivation, self-efficacy, and achievement among pupils. Findings reveal that while a majority of parents participate in school-based activities and encourage educational engagement at home, consistent involvement-particularly in direct communication with teachers and daily academic support remains limited due to barriers such as work schedules and lack of awareness.
Working Capital Management
The effective management of working capital in public high schools is essential for sustaining educational programs and operations. Financial disruptions often hinder schools from adequately funding initiatives, leading to resource shortages and delayed projects. Schools must adopt sound financial management practices to mitigate these challenges, including strategic budgeting, efficient cash flow management, and transparent fund allocation.Diversifying revenue sources through partnerships, sponsorships, and community engagement can provide additional financial support. Moreover, implementing strict cost-control measures and accountability systems ensures that available resources are utilized optimally. By integrating these strategies, schools can navigate financial uncertainties and maintain the continuity of key programs despite funding perturbations.
