This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quote sums up the role of teachers in student’s life. The influence of a teacher extends beyond the four walls of a class room and plays a significant role in molding and shaping the life of a student. Rather the teacher-student bond is the foundation stone of building the life of a student. I am lucky to be a teacher who had a great influence on the lives of many medical students. The bond, and rapport between the teacher and the student is unique and beyond explanation. I have the privilege of being a teacher for over four decades having taught couple of thousand students who now adorn the garden of Medicine. I will just narrate one incident that describes the beauty and greatness of this relationship. When I was teaching in Antigua I had developed such a relationship that cemented our souls together. At the time of my leaving the medical school, at the Airport one of my student just tried to become one with me, standing on my feet, embracing me and not allowing me to travel. It took lot of persuasion to take leave of the student leaving a deep rooted bonding that defies explanation. This short write up pictures the journey of my life traveling through many stations of learning carrying memories which words cannot capture or portray for these experiences are embedded deep into the chambers of heart, probably rightly called as the seat of love and emotions.

Book excerpt: The Power to Save a Life Jacob Chastain grew up in an environment filled with drugs and violence. Inside the home that should have felt safe, fear and anxiety were the desperate norm. Stability and security eluded him as he was shuffled between family and friends that would take him in. But at school, things were different.

Book excerpt: The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. “The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what’s said and in what is left out.”—ALA Booklist (starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan’s unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler’s rise to power, the Blumenthal family—father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert—were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive. Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults’ Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. “A harrowing and often moving account.”—School Library Journal
Download or read book A Teacher s Journey written by Brett Comegys and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I had no idea what I was doing when I started writing this book. Originally, it was just supposed to be a few short stories and how I could relate them to teaching. After a couple of months (and some unexpected encouragement) I realized that what I was writing might have a bigger purpose than just adding to a district blog. So, I kept writing.I've taught for nearly 20 years in all kinds of settings, spent 14 years in the military, and had more adventures growing up than I can count. In this book, I've included a handful of those experiences. Some are funny. Some are sad. And others are probably somewhere in the middle. Hopefully there is something in these pages that might be of use to other teachers... rookies and veterans alike. But don't expect a heavy read. This isn't data driven, full of studies, or research based. It's just a guy trying to have a conversation and trying to make his life useful to others. Finally, if you're not in education... that's all right. Give it a chance, because I honestly think that there's something in this book for anyone who goes to work, deals with stress, or is looking for a little different take on life. Thank you for considering this book and enjoy the read.

Book excerpt: Life Is a Classroom is an intimate look into the lives of teachers, students, family lives, and understanding that we are all connected. A reminder to all what joy, humor and enlightenment children can bring into our lives. Many students encounter daily perils, including poverty, violence, and homelessness--realities that jeopardize their existence and shape their life experiences, while also shaping the lives of the teachers and adults around them. This book captures their playful purity and joy while offering us a unique viewpoint to observe and cope with our sometimes challenging lives, and to lean on joy and humor whenever possible. Life is a Classroom is a memoir of a teacher, who had a revelation while going through a lot of her own emotional trauma in her personal life which she saw paralleled her students' lives. Watching them go through their trials helped her go through hers. Before feeling detached from students and their lives, this teacher soon realized their similarites and connectedness. We all are one and the same. We all are more alike than we think.Life is a Classroom is an inspiring account that illustrates a teacher's job as being much more than a simple observer of students' lives and their educational process. It's about creating a safe haven within the classroom and learning we're all not so different from anyone else, regardless of what our lives may look like on the outside and how much we can learn from our students.Life is a Classroom shares the excitement of teaching in the 21st century, with the new teaching standards and the overall approach to prepare our students to become life long learners and global citizens. And while there are problems facing our educational system today, teachers alone can't solve them. Working together as a team--parents, extended families, teachers, school boards--we can make a difference.Looking through the lense of elementary students, this book confronts issues surrounding immigration, undocumented students, poverty, child abuse, cancer, mental illness and witnessing the grace and human spirit needed to move pass the adversity into the light.

Book excerpt: One Student at a Time is a memoir of my extraordinary teaching career including some of my incredible and memorable life experiences. My adventures in teaching and life are a roller-coaster ride of failures, successes, frustrations, and pure joy. The purpose of this book is to take the reader with me on my forty-seven-year journey in and out of the classroom, from inner-city New York to the Bay Area, California, and from junior high school all the way up to a four-year university and everything in between. Those who have experienced the wonders of teaching will be able to relate to the ups and downs inherent in being a successful teacher at an inner-city school. Those who have never had this opportunity will be amazed by these life-changing moments. There are numerous compelling and captivating stories including my first day in front of a classroom which may have you rolling on the floor with laughter and my witnessing of a classroom miracle which reshapes the life of Michael, a seventh-grade student, forever. Have a tissue ready. You will also read about Jacque Dawes, the toughest kid in the school, who undergoes a 180-degree transformation only to have a devastating ending. Then there's Dorothy whose own tragic past keeps her from becoming the student she is meant to be. There are also the heartwarming and inspiring stories about Dirk and Patricia who, against all odds, overcame their fears and setbacks and found a way to fulfill their dreams. And get ready to laugh out loud while reading about my appearance on the Wheel of Fortune, where I tell an outrageous lie in order to get on the TV show and then I go on to win three consecutive airings. As a writer and a storyteller, I want my readers to feel the raw emotions that I felt when these stories happened. Here are some of the responses that I received by those who have already read my book: "I felt as if I was not reading a book but that you were talking directly to me" and "You found a way to make me feel as if I was in the classroom with you." I hope you enjoy the ride.

Download or read book Tsongkhapa written by Thupten Jinpa and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new standard work and definitive biography of Tsongkhapa, one of the principle founders of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism--the school of the Dalai Lamas. In this groundbreaking addition to the Lives of the Masters series, Thupten Jinpa, a scholar-practitioner and long-time translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, offers the most comprehensive portrait available of Jé Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), one of the greatest Buddhist teachers in history. A devout monastic, Tsongkhapa took on the difficult task of locating and studying all of the Indian Buddhist classics available in Tibet in his day. He went on to synthesize this knowledge into a holistic approach to the path of awakening. In an achievement of incredible magnitude, he integrated the pivotal yet disparate Mahayana teachings on emptiness while retaining the important role of critical reason and avoiding the extreme of negating the reality of the everyday world. Included in this volume is a discussion of Tsongkhapa’s early life and training; his emergence as a precociously intelligent Buddhist mind; the composition of his Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, Great Exposition of Tantra, and many other important works; and his founding of the Lhasa Prayer Festival and Ganden Monastery. This is a necessary resource for anyone interested in Tsongkhapa’s transformative effect on the understanding and practice of Buddhism in Tibet in his time and his continued influence today.
