Download or read book The Book of Reception written by Steven F. Gardner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Reception takes the reader on a journey, through the development of the creation plans for the establishment of mankind on the earth. This development process is a sort of treasure hunt, in which G-d has sown into fabric of time, signs, which have been hidden from the sight of man. These signs are veiled, and as the veils are lifted, the wonders of the creation emerge. As they are revealed we get a glimpse into the way G-d found them, while stumbling though dark caverns of the semi conscious mind. Piece by piece the numerological wonderments emerge, getting brighter with each new discovery, unto that perfect day when mankind and G-d are one. G-d has not settled with merely one creation plan, for in the discoveries G-d found the interweaving of two plans, both with a complimenting nature, that when used together personify balance and symmetry, representing the embodiment of the universe. This duality, a presentation in double measure, offers representations of this life and the life to come, through the establishment of heaven on earth. It takes mankind from the state of child to the pure state of maturity represented by G-d.

Download or read book The Character Conundrum written by Matt Lloyd-Rose and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Character Conundrum is a practical guide for developing confidence, independence and resilience in primary and secondary classrooms. Tackling the hotly-contested question of what role schools can play in developing ‘character', the book untangles the big debates in this area and outlines how teachers can support their pupils to develop the skills and mindsets that will help them to thrive academically. Based on a combination of ground-level investigations and academic research, the book offers a simple, evidence-based approach that can be implemented at every level of school life. The key to this approach is being deliberate and consistent: knowing which mindsets, skills and habits you’re trying to develop, and planning the details of your classroom culture, relationships, routines and instruction so that they align and combine to address your aims. When you do this, the author contends, seemingly minor changes to your practice can have a major effect on pupils. The book contains a step-by-step guide to bringing this approach to life in your classroom, including a framework of pupil outcomes, a flowchart of teacher actions, classroom case studies and a wealth of tried-and-tested strategies from primary and secondary schools across the UK. A lack of confidence, independence and resilience is a major barrier to learning for many pupils and dilutes other efforts that schools make to support them. The Character Conundrum argues that teachers can help pupils develop these characteristics in any school context and illustrates how they can do so within and through their day to day teaching. Written with passion and clarity, it will be essential reading for primary and secondary teachers, as well as policy makers with an interest in ‘character’, grit and resilience, and any education professionals committed to giving students greater ownership of their learning and setting them up to succeed.

Book excerpt: "The Book of Lessons attempts to describe a series of lessons which were born from some encounters, signs, experiences and messages that I received from God. It is filled with the spiritual tools that were lovingly given to me to help me avoid the crash and burn of a life lived selfishly and without regard to the well being of myself and others. The messages and lessons include sacred sources of untold wisdom and intertwine all-religions and spiritual paths. They have taken me on a journey of tremendous personal transformation occurring by 'tuning into the Living Universe''' and by practice. It is my hope that you too will see synchronicity in the signs and messages that you experience everyday, in your great Dance with God in a loving relationship. And that your connection with that love and power will light your path as you proceed, and the transformation will bring you unspeakable joy." - Marc Steven Mazis
Download or read book The Lives of Campus Custodians written by Peter M. Magolda and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique study uncovers the lives and working conditions of a group of individuals who are usually rendered invisible on college campuses--the custodians who daily clean the offices, residence halls, bathrooms and public spaces. In doing so it also reveals universities’ equally invisible practices that frequently contradict their espoused values of inclusion and equity, and their profession that those on the margins are important members of the campus community.This vivid ethnography is the fruit of the year’s fieldwork that Peter Magolda’s undertook at two universities. His purpose was to shine a light on a subculture that neither decision-makers nor campus community members know very much about, let alone understand the motivations and aspirations of those who perform this work; and to pose fundamental questions about the moral implications of the corporatization of higher education and its impact on its lowest paid and most vulnerable employees.Working alongside and learning about the lives of over thirty janitorial staff, Peter Magolda becomes privy to acts of courage, resilience, and inspiration, as well as witness to their work ethic, and to instances of intolerance, inequity, and injustices. We learn the stories of remarkable people, and about their daily concerns, their fears and contributions.Peter Magolda raises such questions as: Does the academy still believe wisdom is exclusive to particular professions or classes of people? Are universities really inclusive? Is addressing service workers’ concerns part of the mission of higher education? If universities profess to value education, why make it difficult for those on the margins, such as custodians, to “get educated.”The book concludes with the research participants’ and the author’s reflections about ways that colleges can improve the lives of those whose underpaid and unremarked labor is so essential to the smooth running of their campuses.Appendices provide information about the research methodology and methods, as well as a discussion of the influence of corporate managerialism on ethnographic research.
Download or read book Al Islaam a Mercy to all the Systems of Knowledge in the Boundless Universe written by Hassan Shabazz and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pamphlet or booklet is a humble attempt by the author to shine the light of Al-Islaam, the Holy Qur'an and the language of Imaam W. Deen Mohammed on the Book of Revelations. It is my sincere belief that the Holy Scriptures are interconnected and that the Holy Qur'an is the last chapter and the key to understanding all scriptures. The Islamic faith in my opinion is the New Zion. In this book I use the spelling Imaam for Imam, Islaam for Islam because I believe it gives the novice a better sense of how the words should be pronounced.

Download or read book Women and Power in Argentine Literature written by Gwendolyn Díaz and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing talent of Argentine women writers belies the struggles they have faced—not merely as overlooked authors, but as women of conviction facing oppression. The patriarchal pressures of the Perón years, the terror of the Dirty War, and, more recently, the economic collapse that gripped the nation in 2001 created such repressive conditions that some writers, such as Luisa Valenzuela, left the country for long periods. Not surprisingly, power has become an inescapable theme in Argentine women's fiction, and this collection shows how the dynamics of power capture not only the political world but also the personal one. Whether their characters are politicians and peasants, torturers and victims, parents and children, or lovers male and female, each writer explores the effects of power as it is exercised by or against women. The fifteen writers chosen for Women and Power in Argentine Literature include famous names such as Valenzuela, as well as authors anthologized for the first time, most notably María Kodama, widow of Jorge Luis Borges. Each chapter begins with a "verbal portrait," editor Gwendolyn Díaz's personal impression of the author at ease, formed through hours of conversation and interviews. A biographical essay and critical commentary follow, with emphasis on the work included in this anthology. Díaz's interviews, translated from Spanish, and finally the stories themselves—only three of which have been previously published in English—complete the chapters. The extraordinary depth of these chapters reflects the nuanced, often controversial portrayals of power observed by Argentine women writers. Inspiring as well as insightful, Women and Power in Argentine Literature is ultimately about women who, in Díaz's words, "choose to speak their truth regardless of the consequences."
Download or read book Asian Students Classroom Communication Patterns in U S Universities written by Jun Liu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-10-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has witnessed a steady increase in the numbers of Asian students in North American institutions of higher learning. While their academic success has been widely recognized, concerns about their silence in classrooms have also been expressed by educators. Following an overview of Asian students in North American higher education, this book presents a focused ethnographic study of twenty Asian graduate students enrolled in a major US university, exploring and describing Asian student's oral classroom participation modes across multiple factors. Four major classroom communication patterns--total integration, conditional interaction, marginal participation, and silent observation--are identified among the participants and discussed across sociocultural, affective, cognitive, linguistic, and pedagogical/environmental factors. Also discussed are the Asian concepts of face saving, politeness, and social identity in multiple discourse communities in light of Asian students' perceptions of and modes in classroom participation. The book concludes with a call for the development of cultural transformation competence, which encompasses social identity negotiation skills, and culture-sensitivity knowledge and mindful reflexivity in addition to communicative competence.

Download or read book Teacher written by Michael Copperman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Michael Copperman left Stanford University for the Mississippi Delta in 2002, he imagined he would lift underprivileged children from the narrow horizons of rural poverty. Well-meaning but naïve, the Asian American from the West Coast soon lost his bearings in a world divided between black and white. He had no idea how to manage a classroom or help children navigate the considerable challenges they faced. In trying to help students, he often found he couldn't afford to give what they required--sometimes with heartbreaking consequences. His desperate efforts to save child after child were misguided but sincere. He offered children the best invitations to success he could manage. But he still felt like an outsider who was failing the children and himself. Teach For America has for a decade been the nation's largest employer of recent college graduates but has come under increasing criticism in recent years even as it has grown exponentially. This memoir considers the distance between the idealism of the organization's creed that "One day, all children in this nation will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education and reach their full potential" and what it actually means to teach in America's poorest and most troubled public schools. Copperman's memoir vividly captures his disorientation in the divided world of the Delta, even as the author marvels at the wit and resilience of the children in his classroom. To them, he is at once an authority figure and a stranger minority than even they are--a lone Asian, an outsider among outsiders. His journey is of great relevance to teachers, administrators, and parents longing for quality education in America. His frank story shows that the solutions for impoverished schools are far from simple.
