Download or read book Fish Can t Climb Trees written by Helyn Connerr and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this technological era, with great emphasis placed on sharing information, people are in fact not communicating any better. Despite extraordinary advances in IT devices, social media platforms and Internet access, individuals are still disaffected and relationships are struggling as much as ever. The Mercury Model is an innovative system that addresses this issue. It accepts that each mind is wired differently, and identifies our individual natural master operating programme through its correspondence with the placement of the planet Mercury at the time of our birth. Interpretation, steeped in ancient astrological technique and research, is brought right up-to-date as a 21st century cognitive model. User-friendly graphics portray the concept of handling information in 12 different modes. If we embrace the Mercury Model, we can find common ground between us in order to build authentic, respectful relationships with people of all ages, from all nations, both genders and of all levels of capacity. The Mercury Model supports the position that the world needs all of us - one learning style is not better or worse than another, we all have mental strengths and blind spots; we each do best what comes naturally. The Mercury Model gives permission to be oneself, whether we embody the best characteristics of fish, elephant, penguin or puppy.

Book excerpt: Help your students to think critically and creatively through team-based problem solving instead of focusing on testing and outcomes. Professionals throughout the education system are recognizing that standardized testing is holding students back.

Built on the increasingly popular growth mindset, this timely book emphasizes a problem-solving approach for developing the skills necessary to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively. In its current form, math education is a series of exercises: straightforward problems with easily-obtained answers. Problem solving, however, involves multiple creative approaches to solving meaningful and interesting problems.
