Book excerpt: When asked why they participate in organized sports, young athletes rank giving everyone a chance to play and having fun far above winning. But even though millions of kids play youth sports each year, an estimated seventy percent of them quit by age thirteen and never play again! Why? Here's what they say: "It's not fun anymore." "The coach played favorites/was too negative." "There's too much pressure." In addition, kids are seeing more and more negative behaviour by parents and coaches. In one survey, three-quarters of young athletes reported seeing out-of control adults at their games. After twenty years of experience as a teacher and coach, Kevin Kush thinks it's time to create a youth sports environment where character, sportsmanship and fun are once again priorities. In Competing with Character®, he examines the good and the bad going on today on youth playing fields, along the sidelines, and in the stands. He urges us to remember that children look to adults as role models.

Download or read book The Outrageous Idea of Christian Teaching written by Perry Glanzer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of thousands of professors claim Christian as their primary identity, and teaching as their primary vocational responsibility. Yet, in the contemporary university the intersection of these two identities often is a source of fear, misunderstanding, and moral confusion. How does being a Christian change one's teaching? Indeed, should it? Inspired by George Marsden's 1997 book The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship, this book draws on a survey of more than 2,300 Christian professors from 48 different institutions in North America, to reveal a wide range of thinking about faith-informed teaching. Placing these empirical findings alongside the wider scholarly conversation about the role of identity-informed teaching, Perry L. Glanzer and Nathan F. Alleman argue that their Christian identity can and should inform professors' teaching in the contemporary pluralistic university. The authors provide a nuanced alternative to those who advocate for restraining the influence of one's extra-professional identity and those who, in the name of authenticity, promote the full integration of one's primary identity into the classroom. The book charts new ground regarding how professors think about Christian teaching specifically, as well as how they should approach identity-informed teaching more generally.
