	Effective Nonviolent Action
		The theory of nonviolent action developed over the last century tells us that NVA is most effective when we use it to undermine the support which allows the status quo to continue.
		Effective nonviolent action should clearly expose the current situation, how it is harmful, and how it violates principles that most people embrace, and then present an alternative and show why that alternative is superior.
		Before any action it is good to have already convinced or at least adequately informed large numbers of our friends and at least some of the news media so their interest and support will counter the condemnation we will likely get from the established order.

		The strategies presented in the Action Guide are based on research that has demonstrated the value of prevention and of comprehensive approaches to school safety that involve the entire education community--principals, teachers, counselors, parents, and students.
		Effective schools usually form a small number of teams composed of professionals and support personnel who are responsible for these decisions.
		An effective schoolwide management system is one in which all students know and can explain the school's expectations for behavior, as well as the incentives and consequences associated with adhering to or violating the expectations.

	Action Research as Teacher Professional Development
		Effective action research projects require that the participants initiate and design the process, including collaboratively defining the goals and outcomes, within the context of their own classroom and school environment.
		Action research is a form of reflective practice that is well known and second nature to teachers (Johnston, 1994) but with the addition of a strong emphasis on collaboration and dissemination of found knowledge.
		Action research incorporated inquiry learning that is already intrinsic to teachers practice with collaboration and sharing of problems, data collection, theoretical, personal and professional reflections, action and a renewal of the spiral together to improve student and teacher learning.

	Effective action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, if the action is replaced by the effective action, the equations of motion for the VEVs of the fields can be derived from the requirement that the effective action be stationary.
		The Legendre transform of E is the effective action (this corresponds to the rate function, which is the Fenchel conjugate of the cumulant-generating function, a common construction in statistics; e.g.

	Designing Effective Action Alerts for the Internet
		An action alert is a message that someone sends out to the net asking for a specific action to be taken on a current political issue.
		Both types of action alerts are obviously modeled on things that have been happening on paper, through telephone trees, and lately via fax machines, for a long time.
		A chain-letter petition is an action alert that includes a list of names at the end; it invites people to add their own name to the list, send in the petition if their name is the 30th or 60th etc, and in any case forward the resulting alert-plus-signature-list to everyone they know.

	The Ruckus Society : Checklist for Effective Direct Action Media
		If the media coordinator is to be stationed at the action site, you need one more member of the team: Someone to stay in an office and work the fax machine (unless you have on-site fax capability).
		Make sure they get the exact time and place of the action, and phone numbers where you or someone else on the media team can be reached from that moment until the action.
		You "have an action" at the moment protesters are in place and/or the image and banner are deployed.

	Ten Tips for Writing Effective Action Alerts — ONE/Northwest
		In the past few years, the Internet has emerged as a primary vehicle for publishing "Action Alerts." An action alert is a message that someone sends out on the net asking for a specific action to be taken on a current political issue.
		Action alerts on the Internet are modeled on alerts that have historically been published on paper and lately via fax machines, for a long time.
		This phenomenon of chain-forwarding is important, and it behooves the would-be author of an action alert, whether a single message or a whole campaign, to think through its consequences.

	Promoting Effective Collective Action to Counter Terrorism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Action to thwart the acquisition of WMD by terrorists calls for strengthened physical security at the sources of raw materials and places of production and storage and for effective surveillance over the possible means of clandestine transport (Example: container security).
		Action to counter criminal proliferation to and by non-State actors has thus become an important component of counter-terrorism.
		While pre-emptive action against terrorists within the territory of a country by the Government of that country poses no problems, pre-emptive action against terrorists operating from sanctuaries in the territories of other countries bristles with difficulties.

	Why Taking Action Isn't Enough - by Kevin Wirth
		While it’s true that taking no action won’t get you very far, taking any old action is a recipe for disaster, and the sooner you learn this, the better off you’ll be.
		The same logic holds true in business – some actions are not effective, and may even be detrimental to your business.
		Effective action means you have a goal or the end in mind, and the actions you take will enable you to achieve that goal.

	Strategic Plan Advancing America's Health
		The FDA is also responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines and foods more effective, safer, and more affordable; and helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health.
		While these systems are effective in identifying rare and often serious adverse events, their reliance on health care providers and incomplete reporting means that appropriate detection and response to adverse events may be less timely and effective than is desirable.
		To respond effectively to terrorism-related emergencies and crises, the FDA must be prepared for a wide range of circumstances and contingencies.

	Effective Action
		You want to get the attention and influence the vote of the member, if there is one, that represents you and you should be sure that you have communicated with him or her.
		Mass attendance at planning commission and county council meetings when critical issues arise tends to be very persuasive, especially if one of those who speaks to the body calls for all who agree with the speaker to stand.
		The most effective thing to do in the long run is to vote for and otherwise promote representatives (in all Horry County districts) whose perspectives are such that they are likely to vote in accordance with your perspective.

	Introduction: Human Rights Education and Community Action
		Once students become aware of human rights issues, before they will be interested in and able to take effective action, they must have some confidence in their own gifts and abilities.
		Although developing an action project with a class requires significant time and effort, the rewards are great.
		Action projects are cooperative activities in which adults frequently are inspired by students’ enthusiasm, and students benefit from seeing the adults as learners.

		The more effective people are the ones who have realized the dangers of acting out their emotions and have instead chosen to channel this important energy constructively to take action to deal with their situation.
		To become an effective group, you will need to become aware of the fact that you are using a Strategy and make conscious decisions as to the advantages and disadvantages of alternate Strategies.
		For example, they might try to reason with their children to show them the effects of their actions or they might choose a system of reward and punishment (or a combination of both methods might be used).

	The Eureka Reporter... Real News by Real People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Regarding the March 20 March for Peace in Eureka, I feel we should leverage this march and two rallies into sustained, innovative, effective action by the public.
		If we don't pay attention to that (it will not happen by itself), this will be a feel-good event and when it is over, everyone will go home and feel just as powerless as before.
		The people who come to these rallies and this march are looking to our peace and justice leadership to guide us into creative, powerful and effective action against war, against the fascist government, to save what remains of our mangled environment, to throw out big business and restore justice and fairness to Humboldt County.

	Bullying in school: guidelines for effective action
		It is now widely accepted that bullying is prevalent in all schools; that it is extremely harmful to the health, well-being and the academic progress of a substantial minority of students; and, moreover, actions taken by the school and by parents can significantly reduce its occurrence.
		Thanks to years of applied social research in the area of bullying in schools, reliable guidelines to effective action to reduce bullying in schools can be provided.
		It is tempting to heap blame upon the bully and by association the bully's parents, when cooler counsel suggests that the wiser course is to share one's concern for the victim and point to how the behaviour of the son or daughter is contributing to this unhappy state.

	barkingdogs: Take effective action!
		Let everyone you deal with know that the barking is unacceptable, it has to stop, and that you will continue to contact them until they put a stop to the barking because that's what they are getting paid to do.
		Upon hearing all of this police action, a third neighbor put their barking dog up for adoption before I got around to dialing 911.
		I am also guessing you have some trepidation in taking action because it means standing up to people who have proven themselves to be aggressive, unconscionable and possess a weapon which is equally aggressive and potentially lethal.

	Socialist Action
		Malcolm X’s potential as effective agitator and mass leader was proven in action in the movement which reshaped him and which he helped shape into a mass movement, the Nation of Islam (or “ Black Muslims”).
		In the time-honored manner in which dead revolutionists are transformed into harmless, toothless icons, reams of worthless literature will appear picturing Malcolm X as on the road to finding his place as a civil rights liberal when he met his tragic end.
		Malcolm X lived as a revolutionist, died as a revolutionist, and at his death was developing into a more effective revolutionist, on a local and on an international scale, in the fight for fl people in America and in the fight for the oppressed all over the world.

		Point 1: We wanted to take effective political action that would accomplish two goals: first, generate widespread public attention to the problem and, second, put some economic pressure on the University.
		A boycott of the IMA would therefore be seen as insignificant and would generate little media attention.
		Our hope is that people will realize the complex nature of this problem and will support and understand our actions to fix it.

	PROMOTING EFFECTIVE COLLECTIVE ACTION TO COUNTER TERRORISM
		Result: A perception of an increase in human rights violations and aggravated anger due to what is seen as military suppression by foreign armies.
		In the case of other countries such as India, a cause for concern is not from the actual use of WMD, but from a threat to use them if their demands are not met, thereby creating public pressure on the Governments to concede their demands.
		The USA’s pre-occupation with bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri has led to a slackening of the war against narcotics since it needs the narcotics producers and smugglers, who know the topography of Afghanistan, in its hunt for them.
