I Am a Wolf
Author: Kelly Leigh Miller
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525554394
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
A dog who insists she's a wolf finds the perfect home with a young girl who sees past her prickly personality in this pet adoption story that's as laugh-out-loud funny as it is heart-tugging. When a particularly growly pup finds herself in an animal shelter, she insists that she is a wolf--a lone wolf. After all, she's not sweet, she's not cute, and she is just fine on her own! Luckily, there's one little girl at the shelter who knows that sometimes, good dogs act bad when they feel afraid and that extending a little kindness can help even the most wolfish pup at the pound let down her guard.

Colormute
Author: Mica Pollock
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780691116952
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This book considers in unprecedented detail one of the most confounding questions in American racial practice: when to speak about people in racial terms. Viewing "race talk" through the lens of a California high school and district, Colormute draws on three years of ethnographic research on everyday race labeling in education. Based on the author's experiences as a teacher as well as an anthropologist, it discusses the role race plays in everyday and policy talk about such familiar topics as discipline, achievement, curriculum reform, and educational inequality. Pollock illustrates the wide variations in the way speakers use race labels. Sometimes people use them without thinking twice; at other moments they avoid them at all costs or use them only in the description of particular situations. While a major concern of everyday race talk in schools is that racial descriptions will be inaccurate or inappropriate, Pollock demonstrates that anxiously suppressing race words (being what she terms "colormute") can also cause educators to reproduce the very racial inequities they abhor. The book assists readers in cultivating a greater understanding of the pitfalls and possibilities of everyday race talk and clarifies previously murky discussions of "colorblindness." By bridging the gap between theory and practice, Colormute will be enormously helpful in fostering ongoing conversations about dismantling racial inequality in America.

A Single Stone
Author: Meg McKinlay
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763691763
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
In an isolated society, one girl makes a discovery that will change everything — and learns that a single stone, once set in motion, can bring down a mountain. Jena — strong, respected, reliable — is the leader of the line, a job every girl in the village dreams of. Watched over by the Mothers as one of the chosen seven, Jena's years spent denying herself food and wrapping her limbs have paid off. She is small enough to squeeze through the tunnels of the mountain and gather the harvest, risking her life with each mission. No work is more important. This has always been the way of things, even if it isn’t easy. But as her suspicions mount and Jena begins to question the life she’s always known, the cracks in her world become impossible to ignore. Thought-provoking and quietly complex, Meg McKinlay’s novel unfolds into a harshly beautiful tale of belief, survival, and resilience stronger than stone.

Schooltalk

Publisher: New Press, The
ISBN: 1620971046
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
An essential guide to transforming the quotidian communications that feed inequality in our schools—from the award-winning editor of Everyday Antiracism Words matter. Every day in schools, language is used—whether in the classroom, in a student-teacher meeting, or by principals, guidance counselors, or other school professionals—implying, intentionally or not, that some subset of students have little potential. As a result, countless students “underachieve,” others become disengaged, and, ultimately, we all lose. Mica Pollock, editor of Everyday Antiracism—the progressive teacher’s must-have resource—now turns to what it takes for those working in schools to match their speech to their values, giving all students an equal opportunity to thrive. By juxtaposing common scenarios with useful exercises, concrete actions, and resources, Schooltalk describes how the devil is in the oft-dismissed details: the tossed-off remark to a student or parent about the community in which she lives; the way groups—based on race, ability, and income—are discussed in faculty meetings about test scores and data; the assumptions and communication breakdowns between counselors, teachers, and other staff that cause kids to fall needlessly through the cracks; or the deflating comment to a young person about her college or career prospects. Schooltalk will empower educators of every ilk, revealing to them an incredibly effective tool at their disposal to support the success of all students every day: their words.

Healing Through Awakening
Author: Mica Akullian
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781515259466
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
What if you were reborn in this moment completely free from the voice of fear, negativity, or doubt?...And what if, instead, you found yourself filled with deep love, joy, and gratitude for all of life? How would you create your life from this place of freedom and happiness? How would you experience yourself and life from this feeling of unconditional love? The keys to awakening this heavenly realm within are available to everyone, but require a journey inward to the most essential part of yourself; your heart and soul. Though it requires effort to embark on this path of awakening, it is not the effort of doing more, or trying to become something greater that what you already are. Instead, it is the effort of letting go-letting go of fear, and letting go of the false self that has been constructed in the mind over the course of a lifetime. The path to spiritual liberation requires honest self reflection, inward investigation, and a desire to know the truth of who you are beyond the limitations of your mind, emotions, and body. Our purpose on the planet is to remember and reawaken to the truth of who we are; that of unconditional love, peace, and joy. The loving energy that we are is ever changing, evolving, and expanding, and cannot fully be grasped nor contained within the limited confines of the mind. The suffering that many people experience in life, and the collective dysfunction perpetuating much of the pain and destruction on the planet at this time, is the result of a deep forgetfulness of our Being, of who we are in our essence. This is my story of stepping out of the mind-made reality of the ego, and directly experiencing the greater reality existing within and all around us. This is a story of the magic, grace, and healing that has accompanied my awakening process, uncovering more of my true nature. The first part of the book is my personal journey, while the following chapters serve as a guide for the awakening and healing journey for anyone who desires to live in greater connection and happiness. Though the scope of this book may seem ambitious, covering such a wide array of topics relating to the mind, emotions, and body, I feel that this is the most balanced approach to spiritual awakening. The reason is that the journey of awakening and healing is truly a holistic process, where each part of our human experience profoundly effects and shapes all other parts of the self. By learning to integrate back into wholeness on every level, we grow and evolve in a balanced way. The holistic approach also creates a solid foundation to begin creating a new reality for oneself, a reality that is filled with infinite potential for peace, happiness, and well-being. May these words inspire and awaken the memory more fully within you of a greater reality, and of your true nature.
