Soft skills help prepare kids for school and the workplace. They are a series of strategies that help children learn competencies such as manners, respect, and organization. This book focuses on fourteen soft skills that all kids need, as well as how teachers and parents can work together to help children both at home and in educational settings.
Children today are growing up in a culture of confusion and uncertainty. Their lives are often hurried and overcommitted. Structures like bedtime and manners are often not practiced in homes and schools. Parents and teachers are looking for how to teach important skills such as manners and organization to the children in their lives. This book will focus on 14 important skills in the development of children and will offer advice for both parents and teachers on how to successfully teach and model these skills to them. Skills such as teamwork, motivation, resilience, balance, and empathy are presented in each chapter and provide examples for how to use these skills with children. Each chapter begins with an overview, has suggestions for parents and teachers, and wraps up with key points for each of the 14 soft skills presented. The book is practical, and while based in research, is easy to read and comprehend. The guide will help parents and teachers see many ways to teach soft skills, as they will impact children in their future classroom performance, professional demeanor, and various areas that will help them become successful in all areas of life!
This book will introduce fourteen of the most important soft skills in the field of education. It will explain how each skill is used in teaching as well as ideas for how to model and explain them in college classrooms, field experiences, and student teaching. The chapters also contain ideas for administrators and mentor teachers who are working with beginning teachers. Hopefully, by learning the soft skills of teaching, pre-service education students and beginning teachers will become successful instructors and models of good citizenship in future classrooms.
Children today are going through a lot—they are busy with school, involved in extracurricular activities, and trying to navigate the world of COVID and other concerns. Teachers and parents are busy too—with work, school, and parenting activities. How will they have the time to teach valuable skills such as manners and respect to children? These are “soft skills”; the skills necessary to work with others and be a respected and valuable citizen in the workplace of tomorrow. Soft Skills for Kids: In Schools, at Home, and Online, 2nd Edition, focuses on ways that teachers and parents can work together to teach soft skills to the children in their lives. This book is not a curriculum program or set of lessons to help children, but rather a series of “teachable moments” in which adults teach strategies to children as they happen. Finally, as the education of children has changed recently due to the pandemic with an increased number of children learning online, this book will be a great resource for how adults can work together to help children learn soft skills—in schools, at home, and online.
Homemaking is about values and priorities rather than job status. It’s time to ditch the notion that women who work outside the home are not homemakers and redefine homemaking as nurturing relationships and cultivating a lifestyle that allows for flourishing within the home (as well as eventually extending beyond). Working Christian mamas can nurture thriving homelives for their families by cultivating relationships, setting healthy routines, and embracing simplicity to practice kingdom living. A woman’s homelife and work life can be molded to honor God, our families, and our employers when homemaking is valued and prioritized. The Working Homemaker encourages countercultural simplicity, relationships, healthy household rhythms, margin in schedules, and, if possible, work flexibility. Homemaking is not just what we do at home but also the choices we make regarding being away from home that allow for our time at home to be lifegiving. Who is this book for? •Working moms •Moms who are considering employment •Working women who are considering motherhood •Anyone else who wants to better understand and support working moms
Winner of the 2021 Ruth Lovell Murray Book Award Dance Education redefines the nature of dance pedagogy today, setting it within a holistic and encompassing framework, and argues for an approach to dance education from a soci-cultural and philosophical perspective. In the past, dance education has focused on the learning of dance, limited to Western-based societies, with little attention to how dance is learned and applied globally.

Structured into three parts, this book examines the following essential questi...
