Throw Away Child Finding Home
Author: Jacque Paul
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098095073
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
From time to time, we stray from our core values, our safe place, our home. Perhaps we choose to wander because life is changing; perhaps it's a fear of staying. Whatever the reason, self-concept is included in the journey, and we sometimes wonder if God knows where we are. A musically gifted child, Anna Katjea, Kate Winslow's life began in West Virginia. The Winslow house wasn't a happy place, and Mama sometimes had bruises and cried because of Kate. The day finally came when Mama said she had to leave. Fifteen years old, and after asking a friend for help, Kate moved to Paris for music reasons. By the time she turned thirty-five, life had taken many turns. She thought she was in love once. After all, he told her he loved her. It was a lie, and Kate hid her heart. Later, she married her manager and business partner. It wasn't an ideal arrangement, and he divorced her for someone he said he loved. Kate kept his name, scoffed at love, hardened her heart, and asked God if He cared. Defiant and cynical, she feels unworthy of knowing a holy God, and it's difficult to reconcile sins when they keep coming to mind. She says she's sorry. Is He listening? Can she trust Him to forgive her? Or does she have to heal herself, take care of herself, like she did as a child? Seeking answers in academia, Kate becomes Dr. Anna K. Moyer, psychologist. She believes her home resides in the place she's standing, and she's asking God, "Will I ever get it right?"

Educating the Throw-Away Children: What We Can Do to Help Students at Risk
Author: Joyce Taylor Gibson
Publisher: Jossey-Bass
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
"Throw-away" children fail academically, behave poorly in class, or refuse to follow directions; they are the special-needs kids, the minority-language kids, the disruptive kids, the pregnant kids, the emotionally disturbed kids, even the passive, forgotten kids. By combining practical strategies, research, and personal stories, this volume presents a number of successful programs for children at-risk, including: a charter school designed to address the needs of expelled middle school children; a Vancouver school dedicated to teaching the native Indian children previously educated on reservations; and a program for high-school dropouts with a competency-based curriculum and a shared leadership approach. The authors share the knowledge gained through their experiences: how educators can collaborate with the other significant adults in a child's life to lay the groundwork for academic improvement; how to reengage teenagers who have given up on school; and how high expectations and innovative instructional techniques can be powerful tools for creating student success. This volume of New Directions for School Leadership demonstrates that educators can personalize the schooling process and facilitate students' growth into intelligent, resourceful problem solvers of the future. This is the 6th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for School Leadership. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals section.
