Co-published with Kappa Delta Pi, The Power of Teacher Leaders provides a comprehensive resource for understanding the ways that teacher leaders foster positive change in their schools. Distinct from school administrators, teacher leaders are professionals who remain in the classroom and use their specialized knowledge and skills to improve student achievement, influence others, and build organizational capacity. Written by leading educational researchers, each chapter of The Power of Teacher Leaders describes a different way that teachers are leading. Moving beyond the question of why teacher leaders are important and how such work is implemented, the contributing scholars to this collection offer a critical examination of the field by presenting original research, case studies, and programs in practice. Topics covered include how teachers become leaders, their wide-ranging leadership roles, and the effects of teacher leadership on student academic success and school communities. A cohesive edited collection, this book demonstrates how teacher leaders play an increasingly active role in the improvement of student learning, teacher professional development, and school climate.

There is a genuine flow of the Holy Spirit! . . . and many worthless imitations. Mel Montgomery learned about spiritual gifts and prophetic ministry from the Goodwins, who were mentors to Kenneth Hagin, John Osteen, Billye Brim, Pat Harrison, and many others. Eventually, Brother Mel was entrusted with rare early Pentecostal recordings, most of which had never before been copied or released to the public. These recordings were by: Howard Carter, Stanley Frodsham, F.F. Bosworth, and other faith giants of yesteryear. Mel discovered that the deep truths of the Holy Spirit, as taught by the Goodwins and the early Pentecostal giants, had been largely obscured in our day. In The Genuine Flow, Mel presents the teachings of the early faith giants, combined with his own experiences in ministry. You will learn how the faith giants flowed in the Spirit, and how you can too. Brother Mel ministers in local churches and in ministers meetings. Mel's website, www.brothermel.com, has been accessed over 2 million times by people downloading his teachings and recordings in more than 150 countries. His podcast, "Voices of the Faith Giants," is heard around the world.
A Rift in the Clouds chronicles the efforts of three white southern federal judges to protect the civil rights of African Americans at the beginning of the twentieth century, when few in the American legal community were willing to do so. Jacob Treiber of Arkansas, Emory Speer of Georgia, and Thomas Goode Jones of Alabama challenged the Supreme Court's reading of the Reconstruction amendments that were passed in an attempt to make disfranchised and exploited African Americans equal citizens of the United States. These unpopular white southerners, two of whom who had served in the Confederate Army and had themselves helped to bring Reconstruction to an end in their states, asserted that the amendments not only established black equality, but authorized the government to protect blacks. Although their rulings won few immediate gains for blacks and were overturned by the Supreme Court, their legal arguments would be resurrected, and meet with greater success, over half a century later during the civil rights movement.

So you're thinking about becoming a Christian minister. Think again. Try to talk yourself out of it, but if you cannot, proceed with caution, depending on God at every step. It has been wisely said that "ministry is messy." It can be and usually is. Here is the record of a minister's fifty-year experience in six congregations, four of them in New England, once the home of the Great Awakening and now called stony ground. Follow the author through three very serious challenges and read his suggestions borne out of heartbreak and trial, leading to progress for God's kingdom. Fasten your seat belts, dear reader.
Real problems exist in society and these problems manifest themselves in the classroom. The effects of depression, anxiety, economic stresses, divorce, poverty, racism, drug abuse, and alcoholism can all be found in the school setting. In addition to teaching students in reading, writing, and arithmetic, educators need skills to better help students get along with others, solve problems, and deal with emotions. These are key aspects of social emotional learning (SEL). Social/Emotional Learning and Servant Leadership: True Stories from the Classroom shares real school experiences from varied and unique perspectives. The authors begin by investigating how to prepare future and current teachers to teach social emotional learning. They then proceed to share true stories through the lens of teachers, parents, administrators, and students. These experiences from the field provide increased understanding, hope, encouragement, and challenges to the reader.
