Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I write this in 2022, we enter year three of a global pandemic. The pandemic’s impact on education is already emerging and I suspect will be future research paper fodder. One impact is teacher “fallout” from the profession. Teachers are leaving in record numbers from retirement, early retirement, and even mid-career professionals are abandoning teaching. So, how do we attract vibrant, creative, and intelligent individuals to this important profession? How do we retain outstanding teachers who are considering leaving the profession? Instead of ascribing to “scripted curriculums” for teachers, or devising testing strategies to hold teachers accountable, we should focus on strategies to invigorate novice teachers. How can they use their pedagogical skills to create engaging curricula? Teachers become artists when developing story lines for their curriculum that fosters student passions for learning. This approach engages both the student and the teacher to keep everyone intellectually engaged in their profession. The core struggle between “why I want to teach” and the parameters inflicted on teachers often leads to many exiting the profession within five years. This book examines why I entered this profession and what sustained me through four decades. At first glance, these essays may appear an unkempt time travel journey flowing between two careers—a high school teacher and a university professor—or too specific to offer pragmatic advice. However, I argue that four essential traits: passion, flexibility, building community, and developing intellectual engagement are needed in the practice of teaching. They are the rudder that guides teachers through the uncharted waters, and will ultimately sustain their fire for making a difference in children’s lives. The format I offer are personal essays and reflections built around these four cornerstones of good teaching. Each cornerstone contains several essays that relate to that theme. While there are many books written about educational pedagogy as well as methodology, this collection is about why individuals go into teaching and what sustains their passion to continue. My intended audience includes preservice teachers, beginning teachers, experienced teacher-leaders who coach new teachers, and all those interested in how education happens. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get started.

Download or read book The Protocols of Ambiguity written by B. B. Jacobson and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the seventh night of a Holy Ghost revival a six-year-old boy has just received the Gift. He is autonomous, he is content, and he is speaking in tongues. He's been told the Gift would lead and guide him into all truth. While instability, confusion, and rage surround his family and home, the boy grows older and must experience unthinkable acts of violence, and the uncertainty of moving from place to place. The troubled boy seeks refuge in books and learning but oceans of questions flood his mind and he is forced to reckon with a world of myriad coexisting, coequal truths. As years pass, he begins to receive "visitations." Unwilling to seek council regarding these occurrences, deeper questions emerge: Is it possible that there be a solitary, absolute truth? Is that truth so obvious that it is obscured only by its sheer enormity? Author B.B. Jacobson takes you on a remarkable journey into the life of an unassuming boy in this coming-of-age story of how the power of a calling exceeds the affect of circumstance. The Protocols of Ambiguity is a modern day statement that reveals the potency of a planted seed; it defies the mainstream and lays the challenge at the feet of the avant-garde to return to the root.
Download or read book Lip Service Smiles in Life Death Trust Lies Work Memory Sex and Politics written by Marianne LaFrance and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-08-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A charming, thoughtful book, one that makes a powerful case for smiles as ‘social acts with consequences.’ ”—Boston Sunday Globe When someone smiles, the effects are often positive: a glum mood lifts; an apology is accepted; a deal is struck; a flirtation begins. But change the circumstances or the cast of a smile, and the terms shift: a rival grins to get under your skin; a bully’s smirk unsettles his mark. Marianne LaFrance, called the world’s expert on smiles, investigates the familiar grin and finds that it is not quite as simple as it first appears. LaFrance shows how the smile says much more than we realize—or care to admit: not just cheerful expressions, smiles are social acts with serious consequences. Drawing on her research conducted at Yale University and Boston College as well as the latest studies in psychology, medicine, anthropology, biology, and computer science, LaFrance explores the compelling science behind the smile. Who shows more fake smiles, popular kids or unpopular kids? Is it good or bad when a bereaved person smiles? These are some of the questions answered in this groundbreaking and insightful work. To read it is to learn just how much the smile influences our lives and our relationships.

Book excerpt: Praise for Time for Peace Ruth Fishel has been sharing words of wisdom for many years. Truly, if we all took her at her word, this would be a far different world to share. I recommend that you give this book a place on your shelf and in your heart. Karen Casey, PhD, Author, Each Day a New Beginning, Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow, and 52 Ways to Live a Course in Miracles Despite the hectic, ever-changing nature of todays world, author Ruth Fishel believes that mindful, peaceful living is within reach. In Time for Peace, she offers an inspiring collection of daily meditations, one for each day of the year, focused on cultivating peace worldwide. Through powerful, stimulating, inspirational thoughts, quotes, and affirmations and inclusion of experiences and revelations from her own life, Fishel demonstrates that inner peace can extend to world peace when enough people adopt an attitude of mindfulness and peacefulness. She communicates that when one carries the intention to be mindful and accepting of each moment, it spreads the serenity to others, reverberating peace throughout the universe. Time for Peace presents a daily guide to inner peace. Filled with Fishels inspiring, uplifting reflections on mindful living, this devotional shares the idea that thought, prayer, and meditation can end the horrors of war and bring about peace for all.
Download or read book God s One Language written by Dianne De Jong and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dianne De Jong strives to teach children that amongst our visible differences, we are all the same. While on a mission trip in Haiti, Dianne was speaking with a sweet, faith-filled, elderly Haitian man. Although this man did not speak a word of English, the translator was able to communicate to her what this gentleman was saying. He smiled and pointed up to the sky saying, "Thank you for your kindness. We will talk again because we will all speak the same one language in heaven some day." This union of being as one and speaking one language that everyone comprehends sets the premise for the book, God's One Language. Children can listen to the moral of the story that it does not matter where in the world you go, all humans smile, laugh, cry, sleep and dream in the same language. Dianne believes love is universal and that all children will benefit from hearing this story which embraces having empathy for all we meet because we are all the same and recognizing we are all brothers and sisters as children of God. Dianne's other three children's stories include My Collection, God's Brilliant Shining Star and Where In The World?
Download or read book Transforming Literacy Curriculum Genres written by Christine C. Pappas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-05-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, university researchers and urban elementary teacher-researchers coauthor chapters on the teachers' year-long inquiries, on a range of literacy topics that they conducted as part of a collaborative school-university action research project. Central to this project was the teacher-researchers' attempts to transform their teaching practices to meet the needs of students from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and their finding that their inquiry efforts resulted in developing more collaborative styles of teaching. Because the everyday interactions between teachers and students are realized by the social talk in the classroom, the university- and teacher-researchers analyzed classroom discourse to study and document the teachers' efforts to make changes in the locus of power in literacy teaching and learning. The chapters include many classroom discourse examples to illustrate the critical points or incidents of these teachers' inquiries. They show the successes and the struggles involved in shedding teacher-controlled patterns of talk. This book explores the process of urban teachers' journeys to create dialogically organized literacy instruction in particular literacy routines--called, in this book, curriculum genres. The book is organized in terms of these curriculum genres, such as writing curriculum genres, reading-aloud curriculum genres, drama curriculum genres, and so forth. Teacher inquiries were conducted in various elementary grade levels, from kindergarten through grade eight. Three occurred in bilingual classrooms and one in a special education classroom. The first and last chapters, written by the editors, provide the background, theoretical, and methodological underpinnings of the project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing more intimidating than a full mind and an empty page. It is wonderful to notice things, to be aware, to ponder as you go about your day. The thoughts bubble over and fill every cranial crevice. There is a desperate need to deposit them somewhere. So in that desperation, Whispers Of His Movement was born. I like the fact that it was birthed in desperation, because that is what I am. I am desperate and in need of God's amazing grace. The Whispers Of His Movement, the seemingly silent, imperceptible, Sovereign moments that happen each day, the ones we often miss in our busyness and self-absorption. Journey with me, as He whispers. Gina Gallagher is a woman with a heart for God and all He has for her--and us. She shares with honesty and insight how God fits into real life and enriches every day. -Gayle Roper, www.widowsjourney.com The Lord graced me with the gift of fellowship with Gina Gallagher, many years ago. She is the Proverbs 31 woman serving our Lord today. Her tender love for the Lord and for others is a divine gift. While we live many states and miles apart, one day on the phone she shared about the Father's whispers in her daily life. 'Whispers of His Movement' was birthed in her heart then. I always knew she should write from her walk with the Lord, taking His teaching onto others. May your day be extra blessed to hear these whispers from Abba Father too.

First of all almost broken in my life, I found myself based on the fact much later discovering that experience with love and broken heart I remained inside, open to love, and chance was no longer a coincidence, and exactly the right opposite of me feels addressed, and he knew before that he would probably fall in love with me. It is a voluntary matter, and nobody can foresee when that will be the case !

Download or read book Wisdom Throughout the Ages written by Herman Guy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Historian, Ive had the opportunity to study various cultures and their religious views, spiritual beliefs, and philosophical thoughts throughout the ages. While doing so, I came across many quotes, proverbs, and popular phrases. Some of these were very familiar, while others were obscure and/or variations of some more common sayings. I began collecting the ones that appeared to be anonymous, and even added a few of my own creation. I started utilizing this compilation for classroom review, student warm-up activities, and even as a means to entertain guests at my home. They help foster discussion, debate, and higher level thinking skills. Many of them are also motivating and inspirational. What I now share with you, took over fifteen years to collect and publish. I truly hope you find this collection as interesting, entertaining, and useful as I do. Best wishes through your lifes journeys. Enjoy and have fun
