Nora Trims Her Lamp
The author of this book languished for forty years in spiritual darkness until the brightness of God's light made her lamp shine. For centuries, God has been on a lookout for people willing to become part of His kingdom. Millions have responded. It does not matter what background you come from. This book tells of a God who changes the hearts of people who come to Him for pardon. This little book tells a big story about God, who can transform the insignificant to become remarkably important.
Wham! Teaching with Graphic Novels Across the Curriculum
Graphic novels are an excellent medium to motivate today's youth to become independent learners and thinkers. This practical guide shows secondary school teachers how to incorporate graphic novels into content area instruction as a tool for meeting the needs of diverse learners and achieving the goals of the Common Core State Standards. The authors provide instructional guidelines with classroom examples that demonstrate how graphic novels can be used to expand content knowledge and literacy in science, social studies, math, and English/language arts. Teachers will appreciate the book's specific suggestions for selecting graphic novels and for employing responsive practices that will build students' reading, writing, speaking, listening, and media competencies.
The Buddy Bench
Having seen what being left out is like, children become agents of change, convincing their teacher to let them build a buddy bench. A school playground can be a solitary place for a kid without playmates; in one survey, 80 percent of 8- to 10-year-old respondents described being lonely at some point during a school day. Patty Brozo’s cast of kids brings a playground to raucous life, and Mike Deas’s illustrations invest their games with imaginary planes to fly, dragons to tame, and elephants to ride. And these kids match their imaginations with empathy, identifying and swooping up the lonely among them. Buddy benches are appearing in schoolyards around the country. Introduced from Germany in 2014, the concept is simple: When a child sits on the bench, it’s a signal to other kids to ask him or her to play.
Walking Beside Me
Each of us has our own struggles in varying degrees. Some may have health problems, others financial problems, and some relational problems. Walking Beside Me is the product of my desire to share a story of God's trustworthiness, even when everything in life tells you otherwise. My faith in His sovereignty has given me peace amidst the most heartbreaking experience in my life. I hope this book will reach many, and that many lives will be inspired to keep on and to hold on to the One who is in control of what lies beyond today.
Engaging Boys in Active Literacy
Provides strong research analysis alongside effective instructional approaches to increasing boys' literacy skills and motivation.
To be a Boy, to be a Reader
It's no secret that boys in the United States are at great risk of failing at school, due in large part to their disinterest in traditional literacy texts. ... The second edition of [book title] centers on finding entry points for boys who are otherwise disinterested in reading, then engaging them with books that contain positive male archetypes such as the Pilgrim, Patriarch, King, Healer, Prophet, and Lover.
RTI and the Adolescent Reader
RTI and the Adolescent Reader focuses exclusively on Response to Intervention (RTI) for literacy at the secondary level. In this accessible guide, William Brozo defines RTI and explains why and how it is considered a viable intervention model for adolescent readers. He analyzes the authentic structural, political, cultural, and teacher and student identity issues unique to secondary schools. He challenges educators to revise RTI so their central aim becomes ensuring that all adolescents are provided with quality instruction and rewarding learning experiences. He shows how to create instruction that is responsive to students and promotes genuine literacy growth. Drawing from real secondary school cases demonstrating tiered interventions, RTI and the Adolescent Reader proves how this can work in your school too. Book Features: Evidence-based strategies to meet the literacy needs of all secondary students. “RTI in the Real World” documents actual secondary schools employing RTI, with discussion questions for each case study. “Relate to Integrate” poses questions and offers prompts to foster critical thinking and the application of chapter ideas.
The Geometry of Walker Manifolds
This book, which focuses on the study of curvature, is an introduction to various aspects of pseudo-Riemannian geometry. We shall use Walker manifolds (pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which admit a non-trivial parallel null plane field) to exemplify some of the main differences between the geometry of Riemannian manifolds and the geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and thereby illustrate phenomena in pseudo-Riemannian geometry that are quite different from those which occur in Riemannian geometry, i.e. for indefinite as opposed to positive definite metrics. Indefinite metrics are important in many diverse physical contexts: classical cosmological models (general relativity) and string theory...
Readers, Teachers, Learners
Utilizing a balanced approach to holistic learning and strategic learning, this innovative text includes case studies from all content areas to paint an exciting picture of the power of language-based teaching to enhance learners' motivation. A significant strength of this text is the way the authors use actual teachers (real teaching scenarios appear on nearly every page) to demonstrate how effective literacy and learning strategies have been implemented in junior and senior high school classrooms. With more emphasis on technology, updated research on students with special needs, and expanded coverage on content area literacy, this refreshing text shows future teachers how to transform uninspired students into active learners.
