Download or read book The Dangers of Hurting Others written by and published by William I. Walker. This book was released on with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is my first memoir, briefly highlighting important parts of my development as a child and adolescent, explaining the ways, this affected my transition into adulthood. It highlights, the extreme discrimination, that I faced, why I stood in my truth, how it was misunderstood; it recounts all the mean little things, that others did, to try to stifle me, rather than help me grow, and most importantly, how I'm on track, to become someone, they never thought I could become. With a precious & adorable romance, some mixed messaging, and a few mistakes along the way - hopefully, it will help others learn, how we can do things better, because everyone in life, can make mistakes, and what is most important, is what we can all learn from them. And I will be taking the time to visit an accredited doctor, that actually has the legal authority to help me, as I recover in a place I love, surrounded by people I relish. I'm rededicating my life to God, and I'm actively working towards this goal, something I hope you find incredibly inspirational.

The entire Bible is a love story, and every chapter is a scene in the epic romance between God and humanity. In this sweeping overview of the Bible, Elyse Fitzpatrick reveals how each section--the Law, history, poetry, and epistles--points to God's eternal love for you and the good news of redemption through Christ. You'll find yourself drawn to the Bible like never before as you begin to see Jesus on every page. Discussion questions make this a great book to study on your own or with a small group.

Download or read book What We Say and How We Say It Matter written by Mike Anderson and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all want our students to feel safe, collaborate well with others, feel ownership for their learning, and be joyfully engaged in their work. Nevertheless, many teachers end up using language patterns that undermine these goals. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? We want students to take responsibility for their learning, yet we use language that implies teacher ownership. We want to build positive relationships with students, yet we use sarcasm when we get frustrated. We want students to think learning is fun, yet we sometimes make comments that suggest the opposite. We want students to exhibit good behavior because it's the right thing to do, yet we rely on threats and bribes, which implies students don’t naturally want to be good. What teachers say to students—when they praise or discipline, give directions or ask questions, and introduce concepts or share stories—affects student learning and behavior. A slight change in intonation can also dramatically change how language feels for students. In What We Say and How We Say It Matter, Mike Anderson digs into the nuances of language in the classroom. This book's many examples will help teachers examine their language habits and intentionally improve their classroom practice so their language matches and supports their goals.
