This book fills that gap, standing alone as a guide to collection development for curriculum librarians independent of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The book provides instruction and guidance to curriculum librarians who acquire and manage collections so you can develop a collection based on best practices. The book begins with a primer on the CCSS and how curriculum librarians can support them. Discussion of the Standards is then woven through chapters, arranged by content area, that share research-based practices in curriculum development and instruction to guide you in curriculum selection. Material types covered include games, textbooks, children's literature, primary sources, counseling, and nonfiction. Additional chapters cover the management of curriculum collections, testing collections, and instruction and reference, as well as how to support and collect for special needs learners.

Download or read book Suburbianity written by Byron Forrest Yawn and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rick Warren famously wrote, “It’s not about you.” But much of the Western church seems to disagree, having settled for a self-centered message of personal fulfillment. With incisiveness and a passionate love for the church, pastor and author Byron Forrest Yawn offers a compelling call away from narcissism and back to the powerful and transforming gospel of Jesus. He shows the difference between... Sunday-morning life coaches selling self-help seminars, and preachers proclaiming God’s redemptive work through Christ promises of prosperity and comfort, and a realistic and helpful perspective on suffering escape from unbelievers and their godless world, and redemptive engagement with people As Byron exposes the false gospel of “suburbianity,” he offers readers a better alternative: to look beyond themselves and embrace God’s call to be His image-bearers and ambassadors, partnering with Him as He restores people and all creation to His original design.

Download or read book Twice Is Nice written by Jesse Edward Corralez and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews Make the Clouds Cry In Make the Clouds Cry, author Jesse E. Corralez revives his animated characterization of Satan, but with a twist that focuses more on the behaviors of humans as opposed to Lucifer's influence over mankind. Human beings are held responsible for the chaos and pain they bring on themselves. Corralez covers morality and accountability issues in this story. Humans are challenged by Satan to look at the trouble they cause and to accept that the power to change the behavior lies in their own hands. It's interesting to hear this coming from the foul mouthed, always joking Lucifer, but it is an effective message. Make the Clouds Cry is an entertaining tale that offers suspense and moral conflict while encouraging introspection. South of Baton Rouge It is 1846 and twenty years old Clement Augustus Hope, professional gambler and former pirate, has won the deed to a plantation outside of New Orleans. The win marks the beginning of a new life for Hope and a complete transformation of the man he once was. South of Baton Rouge is a stunning work of historical fiction that burrows deep below the surface of a man's character to reveal the truth that resides in his heart. Corralez, the author of several novels, has once again created characters that require readers to stretch their perceptions about a person's background and his ability to change. The atmosphere of community and family that exists on the Hope Plantation represents unconditional love as it should exist. The residents worked, played, loved, fought and died as a unit demonstrating an intense loyalty that is hard to find in homogeneous communities. The author's penchant for detail brings the action in this story to life. His understanding of the depth of human character and all of its layers make the characters real and painful to lose when the purity of Hope Plantation is destroyed. South of Baton Rouge is a fantastic story rife with lessons that easily translate to modern times. I highly recommend it.

Their talents and character get them through most of it, but it's usually teamwork that saves the day. Danger is at their every step, but they manage to fight the bad guy and still make it through school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1998, GOD approached a man, to assist GOD and channel his will into the written word. This book is the result of that conversation. GOD is responsible for the flow, topics and discussions. The man simply wrote what GOD spoke and what thoughts he received. "GOD is speaking - Are you listening? My Story" is GOD'S full disclosure to his human family, including his laws of Life and Death. He speaks to Steve as a friend. That is, a friend of GOD'S, chosen by GOD. The fact that anyone would be allowed to hear his voice is astonishing. In this day and age of miracles, is it so far fetched not to believe? He speaks to Steve of his world...Heaven. He speaks of his Love for his human family. GOD tells it like he sees it. No soft touch, no political correctness, just the plain truth, GOD'S Truth. July 5th 1998 4:00 P.M. I AM the GOD of ALL. The reason for this writing is that the stories I AM about to unfold to you, through my friend Steve, are stories to teach, inspire and to create hope. Hope, in that when you greet me in my Heavenly Kingdom, you will have a better understanding, appreciation and moral imperatives, necessary to the alleviation of your guilt. I AM in the world as a spirit of Love, hope, divine inspiration and most of all understanding. I have tried to conquer you, and your fears, by sending messengers to your world, Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Jesus the Christ. I have been alive 50 million of your Earth years and the stories I AM about to tell you are just one of many, told countless times in my Kingdom.
