Before: Reena Montero has loved Sawyer LeGrande for as long as she can remember. But he's never noticed that Reena even exists...until one day, impossibly, he does. Reena and Sawyer fall in messy, complicated love. Then Sawyer disappears without a word, leaving a devastated—and pregnant—Reena behind. After: Almost three years have passed, and there's a new love in Reena's life: her daughter. Reena's gotten used to life without Sawyer, but just as suddenly as he disappeared, he turns up again. Reena wants nothing to do with him, though she'd be lying if she said his being back wasn't stirring something in her. After everything that's happened, can Reena really let herself love Sawyer LeGrande again?
Download or read book Self Directed Growth written by Douglas L. Robertson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-Directed Growth is a valuable map to the no-man’s land where education, philosophy, adult-development, and counseling meet. This is the trackless waste that we usually encounter when we try to explore the relation between learning and personal meaning. The book helps the student wrestle with issues of identity, knowledge, change, and purpose. Betteryet, it does so in a clear sequence of steps that keep the student on track. With the "average” student today being more and more likely to be beyond the traditional college age, this map of the territory of self-directed learning is long overdue. Too many of its would-be competitors err either by being about "adult education,” while leaving out anything for learners themselves, or by being cookbooks full of recipes for how to throw off the past or dive into the future, while leaving out the critical process of learning. Robertson’s book will be used in many ways. Self-directed learners, either inside an educational institution or outside, will use it to launch themselves on journeys of self-discovery. Groups of them, working under the guidance of a mentor, will use it as a text for exciting new kinds of courses. And teachers will use it as a guide to reorienting their own efforts away from implanting content and toward developing students.

Download or read book Learning and the Affective Approach written by Acene Fleurmons and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My book, Learning and the Affective Approach, is a demonstration of the importance of affection, love, association, and integration for kids, preschoolers, and schoolers in their immediate environment and learning journey. That was an intellectual work that led us to a profound reflection on learning and on human intelligence (which we redefined in chapter 1), which facilitates the learning process—how we acquire knowledge, what makes people appear more intelligent or less, and what hinders the process of acquiescing knowledge. Lastly, we have come to understand why Benjamin Bloom had so much success with the publication of his “Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: Cognitive Domain” in 1956. In addition, we understood why David Krathwohl had to build upon Bloom’s ideas to publish a new book on educational taxonomy related to affection. The former infuses cognitive notions into the kids’ mind, and the latter relaxes it to facilitate the reception (chapter 2).
Download or read book Education in Traditional China written by Thomas H.C. Lee and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study in English on the social, institutional and intellectual aspects of traditional Chinese education. The book introduces the Confucian ideal of 'studying for one's own sake', but argues that various intellectual traditions combined to create China's educational legacy. The book studies the development of schools and the examination system, the interaction between state, society and education, and the vicissitudes of the private academies. It examines family education, life of intellectuals, and the conventions of intellectual discourse. It also discusses the formation of the tradition of classical learning, and presents the first detailed account of student movements in traditional China, with an extensive bibliography. While a general survey, this book includes various new ideas and inquiries. It concludes with a critical evaluation of China's rich educational experiences.

Download or read book The Sayings of Confucius written by Confucius and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Powerful Confucius Quotes That Will Change Your Perspective On Life. Many of them are universal and timeless in their beautiful and simple truth and they are as valid today as on the day they left Confucius’ mouth. Translated by Leonard A. Lyall. Confucius was born in the year 550 b.c., in the land of Lu, in a small village, situated in the western part of the modern province of Shantung. His name was K'ung Ch'iu, and his style (corresponding to our Christian name) was Chung-ni. His countrymen speak of him as K'ung Fu-tzu, the Master, or philosopher K'ung. This expression was altered into Confucius by the Jesuit missionaries who first carried his fame to Europe. Since the golden days of the Emperors Yao and Shun, the legendary founders of the Chinese Empire, nearly two thousand years had passed. Shun chose as his successor Yu, who had been his chief minister, a man whose devotion to duty was such that when engaged in draining the empire of the great flood—a task that took eight years to accomplish—he never entered his home till the work was done, although in the course of his labours he had thrice to pass his door.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Harvard Classics and Shelf of Fiction Illustrated written by Charles W. Eliot and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2018-08-01 with total page 33052 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded by many as the most comprehensive anthology of all time, ‘The Harvard Classics’ was first published in 1909 under the supervision of the Harvard president Charles W. Eliot. An esteemed academic, Eliot had argued that the elements of a liberal education could be gained by spending 15 minutes a day reading from a collection of books that could fit on a five-foot shelf. The publisher P. F. Collier challenged Eliot to make good on this statement and ‘Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf’ was the result. Eight years later Eliot added a further 20 volumes as a sub-collection titled ‘The Harvard Classics Shelf of Fiction’, offering some of the greatest novels and short stories of world literature. The exhaustive anthology of the ‘The Harvard Classics’ comprises every major literary figure, philosopher, religion, folklore and historical subject up to the twentieth century. This comprehensive eBook presents the complete anthology, with Eliot’s original introductions, numerous illustrations, rare texts and the usual Delphi bonus material.
