In Charge of Their Own Education
This book is written for parents and teachers to help them guide students (Kindergarten through college), preparing them for the next steps of their education and getting into the workforce. The goal is to have students take charge of their own education and develop the career skills they need to succeed. The book provides ideas for parents and teachers to help their kids and students improve their critical thinking skills and creativity, communication skills, team and leadership skills, flexibility and adaptability, work ethic, and social skills. Also covered are suggestions on how to navigate getting a job, from online research about the field all the way to the job interview. The end of the book includes several success stories of people who took ownership of their education.
Biology Stories
Storytelling is the easiest way to become a more effective teacher. Tying a concept to a memorable story is the best method of engaging your students and ensuring they will never forget the importance and relevance of the concept. This book contains 50 stories directly tied to content taught in biology. These stories are ready to use – read them to your students, paraphrase them in your own words, or use the information to create materials for your courses. The table of contents lists an order of topics that follows nearly every general biology textbook, with relevant stories for each topic. Stories include the Radium Girls (radiation), Genesis Burkett (osmosis), Johnny Appleseed (fermentation), Nancy Wexler and Huntington’s Disease (genetics), the first conviction based on DNA fingerprinting (biotech), when humans started wearing clothes (evolution), egret plume hats (ecology), and many more. Some of the stories can be tied to more than one concept, providing a great way to help students integrate concepts from across your curriculum.
Imperative Narratives
Imperative Narratives is a guidebook for all educators on how to become a more effective teacher, staff member, or administrator. It covers every aspect of storytelling, including how to choose the stories you tell, various methods and modalities for delivering those stories, and the tricks to becoming a master storyteller.
Environment
"Raven's 8th edition of Environment offers more detailed content than the Visualizing text for a better understanding and integration of the core environmental systems and to view and analyze the role those systems play. Shorter, but still comprehensive coverage focuses on ethical decision making and key local environmental science issues, requiring readers to think critically about the course material outside of the classroom. Other features include brief text in the comprehensive segment; extensive chapter pedagogy to help reinforce the systems approach; more opportunities to think critically about the how systems intersect and fit together; and new data interpretation questions at the end of each chapter"--
Visualizing Environmental Science
The new third edition provides environmental scientists with an approach that focuses on visuals rather than excessive content. The streamlined coverage discusses the basic science so students walk away with a strong understanding of the facts. New Think Critically and Data Interpretation features encourage them to analyse visuals and graphs to place information in context. The illustrations have been improved and additional opportunities to conduct real data analysis have been added. The What a Scientist Sees feature also gives environment scientists a real-world perspective of how a concept or phenomenon is applied in the field.
