Gamble Garden: Landscape of Optimism celebrates an early twentieth-century property in Palo Alto, California and tells how it has become a haven and treasured community centerpiece. All who love gardens and value green space within suburban and urban settings will find inspiration for their own towns in this modest-size garden with its outsize horticultural and civic payoff. The book is about the deeply meaningful rewards and shared experiences in creating a public garden, its value to all who enjoy its offerings, and those who are committed to its ongoing success. This is a model for any city, region, or entity interested in creating community through garden-centered opportunities and will spark innovation for gardens that already exist.
The definitive source for the groundbreaking ideas of the "Spectrum of Teaching Styles" introduced by Mosston and Ashworth and developed during 35 years in the field. This book offers teachers a foundation for understanding the decision-making structures that exist in all teaching/learning environments and for recognizing the variables that increase effectiveness while teaching physical education. In this thoroughly revised and streamlined edition, all chapters have been updated to include hundreds of real-world examples, concise charts, practical forms, and concrete suggestions for "deliberate teaching" so that teachers can understand their classrooms' flow of events, analyze decision structures, implement adjustments that are appropriate for particular classroom situations, and deliberately combine styles to achieve effective variations. As in prior editions, individual chapters describe the anatomy of the decision structure as it relates to teachers and learners, the objectives (O-T-L-O) of each style, and the application of each style to various activities and educational goals. For physical education teachers.
