Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the Music Room beyond Engagement All too often the music classroom stifles students with one-size-fits-all curricula and repertoire. In Pass the Baton, authors Kathryn Finch and Theresa Hoover turn that paradigm on its head, offering a vision of music education that empowers students as critical thinkers who exercise voice and choice to question, discover, connect, and play like never before-in and out of the classroom. Pass the Baton offers readers a comprehensive guide to crafting engaging music lessons that transform students from passive consumers to vibrant creatives. Whether you're looking to rethink general music or overhaul your ensemble groups, Pass the Baton is chock-full of generative, actionable, and impactful tools. Finch and Hoover have drawn on deep research and years of experience in the music room to provide a guide for all music educators to create a learner-centered environment and give students the opportunity to truly own the creative process. This book is a must read for teachers who want to empower students to become self-sufficient lifelong learners. It is a guidebook for creating a vibrant classroom where student learning is the first priority. Kristin Gomez, MA, director of orchestras at Jefferson Middle School and Abingdon Elementary School As I watch my daughters grow up and be inspired by music in their lives, I read this thinking, "this is the type of music education I want for my own kids." This is a great book that reminds us that music education should be in every school in the world. George Couros, educator and author of The Innovator's Mindset Music teachers are often required to attend professional development that does not seem to relate to our performance-driven classes. We are left to figure out the applications on our own. Pass the Baton makes the connections for us in a way that empowers not only music students but music teachers. Mari Schay, editor of Activate! Magazine and early elementary music teacher

This is a true story of miracles; of love between two teenagers who grow old together; a mother who struggles to save her prodigal son; and a praying grandmother who refused to let Satan have his way with her family; and the Heavenly Father who loved them all. Explore and learn with Beverly as she stumbles into her future not knowing where she is headed. Beverlys life brings dignity to the meaning of Gods grace.

Download or read book Passing the Baton written by Dr N Rosechild-Sullivan, PH D and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before birth control, women * (people who could be impregnated, including gender non-conforming individuals and transmen) were, overwhelmingly, excluded from higher education and from the pursuit of fulfilling careers. Women* were routinely fired at marriage or pregnancy, and pressured to marry men* (persons who could impregnate, including gender non-conforming and transwomen) as their primary means of economic subsistence. The ability to control whether or not - or when - YOU have a child (either as an individual or a couple) is paramount to your ability to plan, and execute some level of control over, your life's trajectory. Thus, birth control has, and continues to, function as a precondition of the liberation of women.* Without access to reliable birth control, and the right to terminate a pregnancy in the pre-embryonic and embryonic stages (first 13 weeks or first trimester), women* as a class are not viewed by societies as "self-sustaining economic units," and become, overall, the property - and liability - of men, * and marriage becomes a primarily economic arrangement - with husbands as the "employers" of their wives, enforcing the submission of those wives.

Book excerpt: The demand for quality leaders constantly outstrips the supply. If you’re a pastor, team leader, staff member, or board member, you’re always challenged with a leadership shortage. But what can you do about it?More than you’ve ever imagined. The Leadership Baton equips you with a solution that’s time-proven and right at hand: church-based leadership development. More and more churches are adopting it, and no wonder—the principles that made the early church such a spiritual powerhouse are just as effective today. Leadership was never a matter of institutional learning or professional expertise. Rather, starting with Jesus and his apostles, it involved seasoned leaders passing the baton to ordinary people right within the local body of believers. That same approach can help ensure your own church is never at a loss for dependable men and women to enter the leadership race with wisdom, vision and passion.Drawing on the field-tested expertise of the Center for Church Based Training, The Leadership Baton will help you get the leaders you need up and running, developing leadership qualities they can in turn hand off to other up-and-coming leaders. Part 1 casts a vision for church-based leadership training—not merely a program, but a leadership development culture based on biblical and historical foundations. Part 2 presents a whole-life approach to leadership development that is wisdom-based (through courses), relationship-based (through the church community), and personal (through mentoring). Part 3 describes a comprehensive plan for leadership development, then breaks it down to target the needs of governing boards, emerging leaders, pastoral staffs, and interns. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book concludes with two appendices, including a self-inventory for church leaders to help them assess their personal strengths and weak areas that need development. Put the principles in The Leadership Baton to work with patience, and in time your church will never lack the right people at the right time to help it fulfill its kingdom mission.

Download or read book The Sacred Overlap written by J.R. Briggs and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widening of political, racial, generational, and religious differences leads too often to an "us vs. them" mentality. The Sacred Overlap communicates a refreshing vision that embraces tension and shows us how to live in radical love and faithfulness between the extremes that isolate and divide people. The gospels display how Jesus was committed to crossing the either/or waters of the cultural and societal wars of his day. His miracles and parables often broke or ignored religious and political lines that seemed all important. He comforted the disturbed and disturbed the comfortable. Using Jesus' example, J. R. Briggs offers a fresh and relevant understanding of evangelism and discipleship in our present time of extreme polarization. Without sacrificing biblical integrity, The Sacred Overlap is a joyful exploration of the complexity of life in the peace of Christ. With careful discernment, Briggs: Shares creative ways to engage with God's mission of ministering to those who are intrigued by Jesus but turned off by church. Explores what it means to be joyful in the midst of heart-wrenching pain and earthly suffering. Models what it means to maintain a posture of convicted civility which emphasizes both grace and truth. The Sacred Overlap helps readers see how Christians are called to live with their feet firmly planted in two different worlds—in both heaven and earth—living naturally with both the sacred and the ordinary. Only then can a Christian be a faithful witness and disciple of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leadership change can be one of the most painful or fulfilling experiences a leader can encounter. In Passing the Baton, Dr. Terry Roberts helps us through this process. It is by far the best document I have read on this subject. A must read." Pastor Tommy Barnett, Founder of Los Angeles and Phoenix Dream Centers "Passing the Baton, by Dr. Terry Roberts, is long overdue. This concise, user-friendly manual will provide a pastor or church board a strategy to give guidance in one of the major changes that every church will face in its lifetime, a pastoral transition." -- Rev. Victor Smith, Superintendent, South Carolina District Assemblies of God "This book is a must-read for all ministry leaders who wish to steward their calling, ministry and organization with excellence. Terry Roberts tackles the tough issues of pastoral transition and offers a clear guide to navigating this - potentially turbulent - season of leadership with a high degree of excellence and confidence. Passing the Baton of leadership to the emerging generation of ministry leaders can be navigated with assurance and conviction when we apply the wisdom of this book to a season of transition. I know this book will have a great impact among ministry leaders." -- Dr. Kent Ingle, President, Southeastern University, Lakeland, Florida "Pastors planning to retire or transition are wise to put Terry Roberts' concise book on pastoral transition into every leader's hand. Pastoral succession shouldn't be disruptive to the congregation. Here's how to avoid a heart-wrenching crisis." -- Rev. Ed Nelson, Executive Secretary-Treasurer, South Carolina District Assemblies of God "Upon receiving Dr. Terry Roberts' book, Passing the Baton, I recommended it to the president and four other regional directors of Open Bible Churches. Its concise and relevant writing makes it a 'must read' for every leader interested in finding the right successor in leadership transition." -- Dr. Jim Beaird, Executive Director, Southeast Region, Open Bible Churches "Thousands of churches have suffered greatly from well-meaning, but mismanaged, pastoral transition. What often seems the best way to select a new pastor can lead to deep conflict, resentment, and a loss of effective ministry. Dr. Terry Roberts has used extensive research in conjunction with a lifetime of ministry leadership experience to lay out a clear and healthy model for church transition that is an essential tool for those on both sides of the interview table. I highly encourage church boards, denominational leaders, and pastors to carefully read and follow Roberts' approach detailed in this excellent book." -- Dr. Alan Ehler, Dean, College of Christian Ministries and Religion, Southeastern University, Lakeland, Florida "Passing the Baton: Planning for Pastoral Transition is such a fine work for local church boards, pulpit committees, and congregational insights. It represents a perfect resource for churches whose methods for seeking spiritual leadership for their pulpits, as well as top tier posts, need clarifying and finding a wise focus for searching out these often times elusive leaders. Any congregation and its internal leadership who embrace [its message] will have, at its root, the makings of a Holy Spirit led direction. Terry Roberts has brought that message into sharp focus in this book. He has thought it through, and for those who read it and take it to heart, their lives will be forever changed as a result." -- Rev. T. Ray Rachels, Executive Presbyter, General Council of the Assemblies of God "In Passing the Baton, Dr. Terry Roberts provides an invaluable and practical guide for pastors and congregations as they face the inevitable need to plan for transition in their pastoral leadership. I strongly and highly recommend it as a resource." Alonzo Johnson, Ph.D., Superintendent, Church of God in Christ, South Carolina Jurisdiction
