The intuitive mind is a powerful force in the classroom and often an undetected one. Intuitive conceptions--knowledge or knowledge-structures that individuals acquire and use largely without conscious reflection or explicit instruction--sometimes work to facilitate learning in the classroom and other contexts. But learning may also be impeded by intuitive conceptions, and they can be difficult to dislodge as needed. The literatures in psychology and education include a large and diverse body of theory and research on intuitive conceptions, but this work is limited in some respects. This volume contributes in four ways to overcome these limitations. Understanding and Teaching the Intuitive Mi...
Prayers to guide your journey of raising kids in a complicated world. In an age of distraction and overwhelm, finding the words to meaningfully pray for our children--and for our journey as parents--can feel impossible. Written with warmth and welcome, To Light Their Way gives voice to your prayers when words won't come. Filled with more than 100 modern liturgies, this book guides you into an intentional conversation with God for your children and the world they live in. From everyday struggles like helping your child find friends or thrive in school to larger issues like praying for a brighter world rooted in peace and truth, these pleas and petitions act as a gentle guide, reminding us that while our words may fail, God never does. At the core of To Light Their Way is the deepest of prayers: that our children will experience the love of God so deeply that their lives will be an outpouring of love that lights up the world.

After two years of college, Kayla Perry runs out of money and joins the army to complete nursing school. Specialist Marissa Poe is a white girl from Idaho who dates only black men, and plans to get out of the army in two weeks and attend Penn State in the fall. When her latest boyfriend treats her badly and the army upsets her academic plans, Marissa goes through a transformation that will change her life forever. Liz Shupe is from Louisiana, a civilian, and an army wife. She and Kayla are closer than close, but she can barely stand Marissa and no one knows why. Liz is ecstatic to find out she's pregnant, but that joy is short lived when her husband is deployed to Iraq, and she's forced to deal with a threatened pregnancy alone. It's only by facing their demons that the women learn to overcome their shortcomings.

A true leader must cultivate a heart of service rather than authority. What will Earth be like? That’s the question on every Torian human mind. Some, a minority, remember it with fondness. But the majority dread the long-delayed Earth relocation mission. Brandon Foss, their unwitting leader, hardly blames them for their fear of the unknown. Unfortunately, he has too many logistical problems just trying to get them there to deal with that—some of which only validate their fears. It’s been 39 Tora years since the first of 372 Earthlings were revived from cryonic preservation. More than half a century has passed on Earth since their individual abductions. The human population on Banor has...

"The sexual abuse of children impacts the most vulnerable members of society. It is the stories of all of these victims who suffered in silence that led us to join together to write this book, a book we hope will serve as a cautionary tale for children and adults alike. This book would not be possible without Kayla Harrison's brave revelations of the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her coach; it is these firsthand accounts that give all of us a chance to see explicitly how child sexual abuse can begin, persist, and is brought to an end. In the chapters that follow, we trace the course of Kayla's victimization and survival, weaving her story with our professional experience with hundreds of children, teens, and families to reveal what can be done to prevent and interrupt this damaging cycle"--
