Download or read book The Teachers written by Alexandra Robbins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***A National Bestseller*** A riveting, must-read, year-in-the-life account of three teachers, combined with reporting that reveals what’s really going on behind school doors, by New York Times bestselling author and education expert Alexandra Robbins. Alexandra Robbins goes behind the scenes to tell the true, sometimes shocking, always inspirational stories of three teachers as they navigate a year in the classroom. She follows Penny, a southern middle school math teacher who grappled with a toxic staff clique at the big school in a small town; Miguel, a special ed teacher in the western United States who fought for his students both as an educator and as an activist; and Rebecca, an East Coast elementary school teacher who struggled to schedule and define a life outside of school. Robbins also interviewed hundreds of other teachers nationwide who share their secrets, dramas, and joys. Interspersed among the teachers’ stories—a seeming scandal, a fourth-grade whodunit, and teacher confessions—are hard-hitting essays featuring cutting-edge reporting on the biggest issues facing teachers today, such as school violence; outrageous parent behavior; inadequate support, staffing, and resources coupled with unrealistic mounting demands; the “myth” of teacher burnout; the COVID-19 pandemic; and ways all of us can help the professionals who are central both to the lives of our children and the heart of our communities.

Over 150,000 words of a protective Bear Shifter who would do anything for his Fated Mate. Includes the following books: Blood Moon Sheriff Marcus Stone was torn between two identities: lawbringer and outcast. He gets enough pushback from the locals when he's helping with their petty disputes, but his bright golden eyes don't do him any favors. Two years on the job and they still don't trust a Shifter in a position of power. But what could he do but bury himself in his work? Especially after that horrible night he doesn't speak of... Angie Campbell had one God-given irrefutable talent: making dead-end one horse towns palatable for big business and development. Where everyone else saw tumbleweeds, she saw commerce and community. It just needed a helping hand, and that's where she came in. One look at Charming, Arizona and she knew she had her work cut out for her. But before she could even get the ball rolling, a murder brings her under the scrutiny of the dark and mysterious town Sheriff. He wasn't much of a talker, but she couldn't deny being drawn to him... With a murderer on the loose, Angie's life is in danger. With Stone's dark past, his future is in peril. Will they find the beauty in one another or be town apart by the chaos all around them? Fate's Reaping Focus on the work. She'll be back. She has to come back... Bear Shifter Sheriff Marcus Stone had a missing person's case to work, but his heart just wasn't in it. This missing pastor was probably off "hiking the Appalachian trail," as the politicians liked to say. His heart was with Angie, over a thousand miles away in a world that couldn't be more different than his simple small town life in Charming. New York City had everything you could ever want, and Marcus knew that Angie was a big city kind of girl. Focus on the work... Angie needed to get back to Marcus, to her new home in Arizona. The future was an unknown dark path that seemed to stretch out forever, but as long as she had Marcus she'd walk it without hesitation. But the night before she is to fly back to the man of her dreams, her past catches up with her. Put into an impossible situation, she has to choose between lying to the man she loves or losing him altogether. Who knew choices could weigh on you like chains of iron? But things go from bad to worse as three strange individuals are seen around Charming, asking questions that hit a little too close to home. What's even worse is that Marcus can tell they're different, yet somehow familiar. To hell and back, if that's what it takes to be with her... Mate's Harvest A baby on the way and a serial killer on the loose. Marcus and Angie need each other more than ever, but the universe seems set on tearing them apart. It's only through their sheer love for each other that Marcus and Angie are able to see through all the times of darkness and despair. They are each other’s last hope, last reason to keep living and not give up. Though Marcus can’t offer Angie much now that he isn’t Sheriff of Charming, he can offer his support and love, if not his protection as they work together to find the killer. Marcus might have to break the law to find out whose targeting them, but he is willing to do anything at this point to make sure no one ever comes after them again. The universe be damned, love is stronger than any other force... USA Today Bestselling Author Becca Fanning is proud to bring you this Fated Mates story, packed with all the action, steam and great chemistry you can handle!
