Book excerpt: This book is your guide to awesomeness. It guides, teaches on how to study and acquire know-how that becomes inseparable from your person, knowledge that defines who you are as a student, an employee, and an individual. It is a guide to all who study whether they seek academic qualifications or otherwise. It is for those who seek only mastery and perfect understanding of that which they set their minds to internalise.It is not about brilliant exams scores though it recognises that a brilliant student is one who passes exams and passes them with considerable ease. This book, by facilitating and encouraging mastery of a subject of study, will guarantee brilliant exam scores.Anyone who has ever been to school or university knows students want brilliant exam scores because they are the visible reward society stamps on the exceptional student, and for that reason we will look at exams, their purpose, structure and how to pass them. There are therefore three goals to this book: The first is to turn s (he) that reads and follows the guidelines into an exceptional student. The second is to make the student rediscover the joys of learning, and lastly it seeks to create students who are so good, derive so much fun and pleasure from acquiring knowledge that examinations become just another fun thing to do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The patterns described in these successful schools both validated and challenged my thinking. I can see opportunities for renewed emphasis in our district and much hope for continuing our progress with students." —Nancy Skerritt, Assistant Superintendent Tahoma School District, Maple Valley, WA Transform your school with best leadership practices that sustain high student achievement year after year! What are the key elements necessary for creating enduring student success? In the era of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and high-stakes accountability, district leaders, principals, and teachers need to develop core values and practices that will help schools not only meet learning goals, but sustain performance over time. Sustaining Extraordinary Student Achievement presents "on-the-ground, walking-the-hallways" case studies and analyses of five Title I elementary schools that overcame a myriad of challenges, including high staff turnover and a high percentage of students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, to achieve and maintain academic excellence. Drawing from interviews, vignettes, and site visits, the author shows how these schools succeeded through strategies that align with research on effective schools, such as: Creating a school culture that emphasizes high standards and expectations Nurturing collaboration and effective shared leadership Using data to target instruction, intervene with students, and make decisions Focusing on exemplary standards Empowering staff to do their best work Initiate meaningful change in your school with progressive practices and proven leadership strategies!

Book excerpt: A journalistic look at the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland and the fight for gun control--as told by the student reporters for the school's newspaper and TV station. This timely and media-driven approach to the Parkland shooting, as reported by teens in the journalism and broadcasting programs and in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas newspaper, is an inside look at that tragic day and the events that followed that only they could tell. It showcases how the teens have become media savvy and the skills they have learned and honed--harnessing social media, speaking to the press, and writing effective op-eds. Students will also share specific insight into what it has been like being approached by the press and how that has informed the way they interview their own subjects. "One thing is clear: The Parkland students are smart, media savvy, and here to fight for common sense gun laws." --Hello Giggles
