Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School is bad enough for Quinn Compton. Lockers are broken into, robbed, and vandalized. It's a place where false rumors are spread, even on washroom walls. Bullies seem to be everywhere, even on YouTube, and some of them are girls! It's definitely a place where snitches get stitches. Some of the teachers, like Mr. Tiburon, who never laughs, seem to be even meaner than the kids. Just when it seemed that things couldn't get any worse, Quinn gets an assignment that means he has to speak in front of the whole class. It might be the thing he fears most in life. Luckily, he's got some great people in his corner. There's his best friend, Keenan, always loyal, who laughs at all his jokes and is a great student too. He's got his new tutors, OnTime, who tells jokes and makes sure he's never late, and Vicky, who keeps him organized. She also believes that you have to face your fears. Facing his fears is not going to be easy at this school. There's a lot to be afraid of. Quinn is in for a lot of action and adventure!

Download or read book Awesome Math written by Titu Andreescu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help your students to think critically and creatively through team-based problem solving instead of focusing on testing and outcomes. Professionals throughout the education system are recognizing that standardized testing is holding students back. Schools tend to view children as outcomes rather than as individuals who require guidance on thinking critically and creatively. Awesome Math focuses on team-based problem solving to teach discrete mathematics, a subject essential for success in the STEM careers of the future. Built on the increasingly popular growth mindset, this timely book emphasizes a problem-solving approach for developing the skills necessary to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively. In its current form, math education is a series of exercises: straightforward problems with easily-obtained answers. Problem solving, however, involves multiple creative approaches to solving meaningful and interesting problems. The authors, co-founders of the multi-layered educational organization AwesomeMath, have developed an innovative approach to teaching mathematics that will enable educators to: Move their students beyond the calculus trap to study the areas of mathematics most of them will need in the modern world Show students how problem solving will help them achieve their educational and career goals and form lifelong communities of support and collaboration Encourage and reinforce curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity in their students Get students into the growth mindset, coach math teams, and make math fun again Create lesson plans built on problem based learning and identify and develop educational resources in their schools Awesome Math: Teaching Mathematics with Problem Based Learning is a must-have resource for general education teachers and math specialists in grades 6 to 12, and resource specialists, special education teachers, elementary educators, and other primary education professionals.
Book Synopsis Generating Tact and Flow for Effective Teaching and Learning by : Susanna M. Steeg Thornhill
Download or read book Generating Tact and Flow for Effective Teaching and Learning written by Susanna M. Steeg Thornhill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws from and analyzes teachers’ and students’ stories of great classes in order to promote teachers’ development of pedagogical tact and to encourage flow states for students. Taken together, these theoretical lenses—pedagogical tact and flow—provide a valuable framework for understanding and motivating classroom engagement. As the authors suggest, tactful teachers are more likely to see their students in flow than teachers who struggle with basic classroom routines and practices. Grounded in narrative research, and written for pre-service teachers, the book offers strategies for replicating these first-hand accounts of peak classroom teaching and learning.
Book Synopsis Exemplary Science in Grades 9-12 by : Robert Eugene Yager
Download or read book Exemplary Science in Grades 9-12 written by Robert Eugene Yager and published by NSTA Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of 15 essays, educators describe successful programs they've developed to fulfill the US National Science Education Standards' vision for the reform of teaching assessment, professional development, and content at the high school level. All the visions correspond with the Less Emphasis and More Emphasis conditions that conclude each section of the Standards, characterizing what most teachers and programs should do less of as well as describing the changes needed if real reform is to occur. Essay titles reveal the range of programs, and creativity, this book encompasses. Among the titles are: "Technology and Cooperative Learning: The IIT Model for Teaching Authentic Chemistry Curriculum," "Modeling: Changes in Traditional Physics Instruction," "Guided by the Standards: Inquiry and Assessment in Two Rural and Urban Schools," and even "Sing and Dance Your Way to Science Success." The book ends with a summary chapter by editor Robert Yager on successes and continuing challenges in meeting the Standards' visions for improving high school science. As Yager notes, "The exemplary programs described in this monograph give inspiration while also providing evidence that the new directions are feasible and worth the energy and effort needed for others to implement changes.

Book excerpt: It's 1952 in a small prairie town, and bigotry is a way of life. Will and Arthur have been friends forever, but folks figure it won't last. Whites and Indians always outgrow their friendships -- or so they say. And now the boys have made a grisly discovery that threatens to unravel the very fabric of their friendship. A local Indian and World War II hero has been beaten and left for dead near the railway tracks. While the police conclude that a train caused Yellowfly's injuries, Will and Arthur know better. To find answers, they'll have to pursue the case on their own. In their search for justice, the boys discover that true brotherhood sometimes calls for sacrifice. And that courage, like cowardice, can take many forms.

He lives with his family in Blågårdsgade on Nørrebro, where even the weirdest neighbours are an extension of the family – whether you want it or not. Iqbal has never been a science genius, so when his school science project spectacularly flops, he and his brother Tariq concoct an experiment that's a little too explosive - and accidentally blow up part of their school! Now, it's not just a school detention they're facing; a gang of mischievous crooks are chasing them across the country, causing havoc on their family camping trip and at the Kattegat Center. With the beautiful Tivoli, the whole of Copenhagen, and even the Queen of Denmark at risk, it's up to Iqbal and his pals to outsmart the crooks. "Iqbal Farooq and the Black Pierrot" was turned into a movie called "Iqbal and the Secret Recipe" starring Dar Salim, Rasmus Bjerg, and Andreas Bo in 2015. "Iqbal Farooq and the Black Pierrot" is the ideal read for anyone who's on the lookout for a fun and heartwarming story. Iqbal Farooq Meet Iqbal Farooq.

Former Danish national congress member, Manu Sareen, is the author behind the politically incorrect children’s books about Iqbal and his immigrant family’s life in multicultural Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Denmark. In November 2007, he received the BMF Children's Book Prize, and in April 2008, he was awarded the Orla Prize for the books about Iqbal Farooq.
Download or read book Now or Never written by Jack Cafferty and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2009-04-08 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his bestselling It's Getting Ugly Out There, CNN’s Jack Cafferty skewered the liars and losers who were trying to harm the nation and explained why Americans had to take their country back. While the Bush exit from the White House brings a certain sense of "mission accomplished," for Cafferty that's only the beginning. In Now or Never, the curmudgeonly Cafferty applies his heat-seeking scrutiny to the hot-button issues that top the 2009 agenda, including the economy, China, Iraq, the war on terror, and our broken immigration, education, and healthcare systems. Will Obama turn things around or will it be business as usual? Will a hitherto spineless Democratic Congress hold individuals accountable for abuses of power? Cafferty gives voice to the fears and hopes of Americans from all around the country; he also gets personal with moving stories of his experiences raising kids with values that seem to be disappearing in our culture. Powerful, provocative, and drawing on the latest news from America and around the world, Now or Never makes lively reading for Cafferty fans and everyone who cares about America today.

Book excerpt: October Schwartz and her five deadest pals are back for another crime-solving caper When October Schwartz raises her five dead friends to investigate the cause of Cyril Cooper's death way back in 1783, she expects a dull research-based journey into the lives of Canada's earliest British settlers, the United Empire Loyalists. You'd think our favourite teen detective would have the hang of this solving-mysteries thing by now, but when a ghost pirate appears on the scene, October may be in over her head. The ghost pirate — or someone in a very convincing costume — is thieving key evidence at every turn, beating October to the goods time and again. Worst of all, Valentine's Day is looming, and October's friends seem more concerned about secret admirers than secret conspiracies. As October digs deeper into the mystery, she starts to suspect the pirate may be someone very close to her, just as she uncovers facts regarding her long-missing mom and the meaning behind a cryptic message from a past case. The Dead Kid Detective Agency's third quest is a veritable bouquet of misadventures that weaves the American Revolution, a beyond-chaotic school dance, a historic sea vessel, and a boatload of supernatural shenanigans into one unforgettable madcap adventure.
Download or read book Jim Carrey written by Nancy Krulik and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-10-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kidding Around with the King of Comedy Jim Carrey is used to being laughed at. In fact, he thrives on entertaining others. As a precocious young boy, he practiced pulling faces in the bathroom mirror -- a talent that would later prove to be instrumental in his success -- and performed self-created skits for his family. Unfortunately, his life wasn't one smooth cruise to the top. The Canadian-born funnyman's rags-to-riches tale is the stuff dreams are made of. Since his early smash hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the blockbuster movie roles just keep on coming. But Carrey isn't content simply to play it safe and stick with the slapstick comedy roles he knows and performs so confidently. In fact, with releases such as The Truman Show and Man on the Moon, Carrey has challenged himself creatively and shown audiences that he is capable of demonstrating sensitivity and immense dramatic range. With his latest hit move, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, this shooting star's future just keeps getting brighter!
