Book Description
As I write this in 2022, we enter year three of a global pandemic. The pandemic’s impact on education is already emerging and I suspect will be future research paper fodder. One impact is teacher “fallout” from the profession. Teachers are leaving in record numbers from retirement, early retirement, and even mid-career professionals are abandoning teaching. So, how do we attract vibrant, creative, and intelligent individuals to this important profession? How do we retain outstanding teachers who are considering leaving the profession? Instead of ascribing to “scripted curriculums” for teachers, or devising testing strategies to hold teachers accountable, we should focus on strategies to invigorate novice teachers. How can they use their pedagogical skills to create engaging curricula? Teachers become artists when developing story lines for their curriculum that fosters student passions for learning. This approach engages both the student and the teacher to keep everyone intellectually engaged in their profession. The core struggle between “why I want to teach” and the parameters inflicted on teachers often leads to many exiting the profession within five years. This book examines why I entered this profession and what sustained me through four decades. At first glance, these essays may appear an unkempt time travel journey flowing between two careers—a high school teacher and a university professor—or too specific to offer pragmatic advice. However, I argue that four essential traits: passion, flexibility, building community, and developing intellectual engagement are needed in the practice of teaching. They are the rudder that guides teachers through the uncharted waters, and will ultimately sustain their fire for making a difference in children’s lives. The format I offer are personal essays and reflections built around these four cornerstones of good teaching. Each cornerstone contains several essays that relate to that theme. While there are many books written about educational pedagogy as well as methodology, this collection is about why individuals go into teaching and what sustains their passion to continue. My intended audience includes preservice teachers, beginning teachers, experienced teacher-leaders who coach new teachers, and all those interested in how education happens. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get started.

The Protocols of Ambiguity
Author: B. B. Jacobson
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1480809039
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
On the seventh night of a Holy Ghost revival a six-year-old boy has just received the Gift. He is autonomous, he is content, and he is speaking in tongues. He's been told the Gift would lead and guide him into all truth. While instability, confusion, and rage surround his family and home, the boy grows older and must experience unthinkable acts of violence, and the uncertainty of moving from place to place. The troubled boy seeks refuge in books and learning but oceans of questions flood his mind and he is forced to reckon with a world of myriad coexisting, coequal truths. As years pass, he begins to receive "visitations." Unwilling to seek council regarding these occurrences, deeper questions emerge: Is it possible that there be a solitary, absolute truth? Is that truth so obvious that it is obscured only by its sheer enormity? Author B.B. Jacobson takes you on a remarkable journey into the life of an unassuming boy in this coming-of-age story of how the power of a calling exceeds the affect of circumstance. The Protocols of Ambiguity is a modern day statement that reveals the potency of a planted seed; it defies the mainstream and lays the challenge at the feet of the avant-garde to return to the root.

Lip Service: Smiles in Life, Death, Trust, Lies, Work, Memory, Sex, and Politics
Author: Marianne LaFrance
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393082598
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
“A charming, thoughtful book, one that makes a powerful case for smiles as ‘social acts with consequences.’ ”—Boston Sunday Globe When someone smiles, the effects are often positive: a glum mood lifts; an apology is accepted; a deal is struck; a flirtation begins. But change the circumstances or the cast of a smile, and the terms shift: a rival grins to get under your skin; a bully’s smirk unsettles his mark. Marianne LaFrance, called the world’s expert on smiles, investigates the familiar grin and finds that it is not quite as simple as it first appears. LaFrance shows how the smile says much more than we realize—or care to admit: not just cheerful expressions, smiles are social acts with serious consequences. Drawing on her research conducted at Yale University and Boston College as well as the latest studies in psychology, medicine, anthropology, biology, and computer science, LaFrance explores the compelling science behind the smile. Who shows more fake smiles, popular kids or unpopular kids? Is it good or bad when a bereaved person smiles? These are some of the questions answered in this groundbreaking and insightful work. To read it is to learn just how much the smile influences our lives and our relationships.

In Time for Peace, she offers an inspiring collection of daily meditations, one for each day of the year, focused on cultivating peace worldwide. Through powerful, stimulating, inspirational thoughts, quotes, and affirmations and inclusion of experiences and revelations from her own life, Fishel demonstrates that inner peace can extend to world peace when enough people adopt an attitude of mindfulness and peacefulness. She communicates that when one carries the intention to be mindful and accepting of each moment, it spreads the serenity to others, reverberating peace throughout the universe.

Transforming Literacy Curriculum Genres
Author: Christine C. Pappas
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135688818
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
In this volume, university researchers and urban elementary teacher-researchers coauthor chapters on the teachers' year-long inquiries, on a range of literacy topics that they conducted as part of a collaborative school-university action research project. Central to this project was the teacher-researchers' attempts to transform their teaching practices to meet the needs of students from diverse ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and their finding that their inquiry efforts resulted in developing more collaborative styles of teaching. Because the everyday interactions between teachers and students are realized by the social talk in the classroom, the university- and teacher-researchers analyzed classroom discourse to study and document the teachers' efforts to make changes in the locus of power in literacy teaching and learning. The chapters include many classroom discourse examples to illustrate the critical points or incidents of these teachers' inquiries. They show the successes and the struggles involved in shedding teacher-controlled patterns of talk. This book explores the process of urban teachers' journeys to create dialogically organized literacy instruction in particular literacy routines--called, in this book, curriculum genres. The book is organized in terms of these curriculum genres, such as writing curriculum genres, reading-aloud curriculum genres, drama curriculum genres, and so forth. Teacher inquiries were conducted in various elementary grade levels, from kindergarten through grade eight. Three occurred in bilingual classrooms and one in a special education classroom. The first and last chapters, written by the editors, provide the background, theoretical, and methodological underpinnings of the project.

Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525553801
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
Dianne De Jong strives to teach children that amongst our visible differences, we are all the same. While on a mission trip in Haiti, Dianne was speaking with a sweet, faith-filled, elderly Haitian man. Although this man did not speak a word of English, the translator was able to communicate to her what this gentleman was saying. He smiled and pointed up to the sky saying, "Thank you for your kindness. We will talk again because we will all speak the same one language in heaven some day." This union of being as one and speaking one language that everyone comprehends sets the premise for the book, God's One Language. Children can listen to the moral of the story that it does not matter where in the world you go, all humans smile, laugh, cry, sleep and dream in the same language. Dianne believes love is universal and that all children will benefit from hearing this story which embraces having empathy for all we meet because we are all the same and recognizing we are all brothers and sisters as children of God. Dianne's other three children's stories include My Collection, God's Brilliant Shining Star and Where In The World?
