Book Description
In many countries, concern about socio-economic inequalities in educational attainment has focused on inequalities in test scores and grades. The presumption has been that the best way to reduce inequalities in educational outcomes is to reduce inequalities in performance. But is this presumption correct? Determined to Succeed? is the first book to offer a comprehensive cross-national examination of the roles of performance and choice in generating inequalities in educational attainment. It combines in-depth studies by country specialists with chapters discussing more general empirical, methodological, and theoretical aspects of educational inequality. The aim is to investigate to what extent inequalities in educational attainment can be attributed to differences in academic performance between socio-economic groups, and to what extent they can be attributed to differences in the choices made by students from these groups. The contributors focus predominantly on inequalities related to parental class and parental education.

Book Description
Choosing Success focuses on how good decision-making skills determine success in all aspects of life. From study skills to money management, Choosing Success applies active and service learning techniques as well as the 5C decision-making model to prepare students for success. By incorporating a decision-making focus into every chapter, Choosing Success emphasizes accountability and conveys to students how important they are in their own success. Students do not merely become successful, but rather they choose to be successful. Choice starts with the decision to acquire a secondary education, and from then on everything students do is based on their decision-making skills. The more they practice good decision making, the more control they have over their successes and failures. Choosing Success is unique in that it provides students with a process for decision making as well as numerous opportunities to think through the choices and decisions they face as a college student-and beyond.

Book Description
Success cannot be measured simply by the pursuit of wealth, position, and power without aligning such wealth with God's ordinance and doctrine. It's about making an impact that touches lives and leaving a worthy legacy for the next generation. In Success Dynamics, author Raymond Aisabor introduces a holistic approach and a doctrinal variant of what should be the pinnacle of real success. Aisabor provides answers to the questions: Is our quest toward success for self-aggrandizement, vain glorification, and oppression of the less fortunate? Or it is to glorify God in providing succor to the needy and less privileged? He explores success covenants, habits, conditions, and business and spiritual tools to help you be successful in your life, which means having a personal, intimate relationship with God and learning how to spread that love to others. Success Dynamics teaches that success is not just possessions. Success is about stewardship, general wellness, and walking in God's purpose.
