Download or read book Thunder Boys Book I Paco the Great written by Adam Apellasios and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paco's wrestling teammate, Chad, missed so much school for the sexual abuse trial. Parents don't want their kids hanging around him because he acts out, but Paco's parents don't object when their son picks Chad as a friend. Paco feels horses gallop through his chest when they're together, and their closeness has evolved with the ferocity of a wolf pack by the time his great-grandfather tells him he's a two-spirit. Will his parents accept their son for who he is? Do they know? Can he have a crush on an opponent and still beat him in a match? Looking at sexual abuse, alcoholism, recovery, and the prejudice in cultural expectations, this book is the first in the Thunder Boys Series narrated by Paco and his pack.

Download or read book The Power of Story written by Joan Wink Ph.D. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through this book, readers will discover that stories can move the human heart and head in ways that research cannot. Stories bring together readers, writers, librarians, teachers, students, and families in the libraries of today and will continue to do so tomorrow. Written for all those lovers of literacy, this book links libraries and literacies through the power of stories. The book is not filled with data in the form of pie charts, graphs, and tables. Rather, the truth of the research is grounded in authentic stories that reflect not only the interpretation of data, but also the transformative nature of literacies and libraries. The author's primary goal is that readers will come to value and use storytelling in their own professional and personal lives to explain and expand on complex concepts and to make information more accessible for all. The book begins by presenting anecdotes and the author's personal story to lay the foundation for what literacies are, and what literacy is not. An activity, "Spiral of Literacy," allows readers to reflect on their own literacies. Chapters that follow each begin with a story that sets the theoretical foundation. Each chapter concludes with an action section that demonstrates how to turn theory to practice, whether you are in a library, a classroom, or at home. A final chapter envisions what libraries might look like in 10 years, through interviews with librarians, teachers, and others interested in literacy.

Download or read book Preparing Teachers for the 21st Century written by Xudong Zhu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses two main questions, namely how to prepare high-quality teachers in the 21st century and how the East and the West can learn from each other. It addresses the different challenges and dilemmas that eastern countries, especially China, and western countries are facing with regard to teacher education. We explore the question by examining teacher education research, practice and policy in different countries, identifying both common problems and country-specific challenges. We then try to find valuable experiences, theories and practice which can solve specific problems in the process of teacher education, also addressing how local and global factors impact it. In this regard, our approach does not strictly separate pre-service teacher education from teachers’ in-service professional development, adopting an integrative perspective. Further, we believe the respective social and cultural contexts must also be taken into account. Lastly, we call for teachers’ knowledge and individual character traits to be accounted for in the education of high-quality teachers.
