35 Knitted Animals and other creatures
Meet Donna Wilson’s Knitted Animals—a quirky yet loveable family of 35 of the strangest creatures you’ll ever come across. Meet Donna Wilson’s Knitted Animals—a quirky yet loveable family of 35 of the strangest creatures you’ll ever come across. There’s Rill Raccoon-Fox, who is fond of toasting caterpillars and worms over the camp fire, son of the great raconteur Cyril Squirrel and the delightful Rita Raccoon. Meet Beryl the Bold, a lover of chocolate-chip ice cream and evening walks, and Bunny Blue, who enjoys nothing more than a picnic and a glass of raspberry juice. Olive Owl is small with a loud voice; she likes to have a tidy home and makes a mean apple pie. Charlie Monkey, who lives on banana milkshakes, always stands out in a crowd, while Ginge the Cat and Mitten Kitten form a formidable feline duo. Use the easy-to-follow knitting patterns to recreate your own collection of knitted animals and other creatures, each with their own unique personality and idiosyncrasies.
Program Evaluation Theory and Practice
This engaging text takes an evenhanded approach to major theoretical paradigms in evaluation and builds a bridge from them to evaluation practice. Featuring helpful checklists, procedural steps, provocative questions that invite readers to explore their own theoretical assumptions, and practical exercises, the book provides concrete guidance for conducting large- and small-scale evaluations. Numerous sample studies—many with reflective commentary from the evaluators—reveal the process through which an evaluator incorporates a paradigm into an actual research project. The book shows how theory informs methodological choices (the specifics of planning, implementing, and using evaluations)....
Donna Wilson's Creative Creatures
In Donna Wilson's Creative Creatures, by the recipient of the British Design Awards' Designer of the Year, children can make their own collection of stylish crafts—all with the help of a winning cast of knitted friends. Donna's trademark soft and cuddly creatures are pictured in colorful photographs. Not only do these fuzzy friends lead the way by providing clear, step-by-step instructions on how to make a range of popular items, but each unique character, like Charlie Monkey and Cyril Squirrel-Fox— tell us why they made these presents and surprises for their friends. Readers will learn how to easily create pop-up greeting cards, a phone cover, dress-up clothes, a stuffed felt mobile, along with many more practical and adorable crafts.
Women and Mathematics
First published in 1985. In the mid-seventies, there was growing concern that early decisions not to study mathematics in high school might be limiting the occupational options available to women. As part of a larger program on career development, the Career Awareness Division of the Education and Work Group, then one of the major organizational units of the National Institute of Education (NIE), initiated a special research grants program on women and mathematics. Research information that would sort out the competing explanations for women’s lower rate of participation seemed a useful contribution to debates about possible remedial actions. Should there be, for example, widespread development and implementation of programs designed to reduce mathematics anxiety? This volume represents the culmination of a research program with many contributions.

The new edition includes 22 black and white photos, 4 figures, and 3 tables."--
Developing Growth Mindsets
Human beings have tremendous potential to acquire new knowledge, develop new skills, and improve their brains throughout life. By explicitly teaching learners about brain plasticity and malleable intelligence (the idea that they can become functionally smarter through effort) and by modeling and teaching specific learning strategies, teachers can help students experience higher levels of success as they develop a growth mindset. Discovering that learning changes their brains helps students develop this growth mindset—the belief that they can improve their knowledge and skills through the use of learning strategies and with guidance and support from teachers, coaches, and mentors. Donna Wil...
Teaching Students to Drive Their Brains
If the difference between a student's success and failure were something specific you could teach, wouldn't you? Metacognition is exactly that—a tool that helps students unlock their brain's amazing power and take control of their learning. Educational researchers and professional developers Donna Wilson and Marcus Conyers have been exploring and using the explicit teaching of metacognition for years, and in this book they share a practical way to teach preK-12 students how to drive their brains by promoting the following practices: * Adopt an optimistic outlook toward learning, * Set goals, * Focus their attention, * Monitor their progress, and * Engage in practices that enhance cognitive...
Pia Panda Critter Journal
An irresistible die-cut journal with thread-stitched features and a wraparound ribbon "tail" for lovers of Jellycats, Trolls, and Ugly Dolls. This die-cut journal will follow the form of Pia Panda--one of Donna Wilson's wildly popular imaginary creatures that until now have only been available in knitted versions. Plaintive eyes, a button nose, and a quirky grin will be rendered in thread to echo the cuddly nature of the textile version. A ribbon marker that also functions as a wraparound tail adds to the animal nature of the product.
Transformative Research and Evaluation
From distinguished scholar Donna M. Mertens, this core book provides a framework for making methodological decisions and conducting research and evaluations that promote social justice. The transformative paradigm has emerged from - and guides - a broad range of social and behavioral science research projects with communities that have been pushed to the margins, such as ethnic, racial, and sexual minority group members and children and adults with disabilities. Mertens shows how to formulate research questions based on community needs, develop researcher-community partnerships grounded in trust and respect, and skillfully apply quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods data collection st...
Women, Health and Nation
This book examines North American women's engagement with their health systems and asks to what extent national citizenship has shaped women's health. Authors provide a much-needed analysis of the dynamic decades after 1945, when both Canada and the United States began using federal funds to expand health-care access and biomedical research and authority reached new heights.
