Mini Moments of Value is a comprehensive list of essential Christian character values. It is unusual for a book to contain more than just a few values in specific scriptures, such as 1 Peter 1, Romans 12, or Galatians 5. In this book, Donna writes about many values. She briefly describes each value, with a scriptural reference to that value. She gives the reader an opportunity not only to read something and then lay the book down but also to meditate on the written description of the value. The scripture(s) presented on day one assists the individual in learning from a scriptural standpoint. Then, with the Hebrew and Greek definitions included, the reader can gain a further understanding of the meaning of that value. Donna engages the reader to learn more about this value by searching for scriptures that give more insight. The reader is then asked to ponder and write a prayer about the value, using the scriptures as a guide. This helps one develop these characteristics in one's own life. Finally, the reader can allow this value to be lived out through practical demonstration or application in his/her own life and then in that of his/her family. The greatest gift that anyone can give to someone else, besides the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is to be a living example through practical application and instill value into the lives of others. This reflects God's love for humanity. The real value is touching the lives of yourself and others in "mini moments." It doesn't take hours. By touching one person at a time, we all can make the world a better place. This book certainly encourages living life in such a way that others see Jesus Christ and the best that one can become. This is a great study book for individuals, families, or various groups.

Chronicles the ups-and-downs of two young, first-grade teachers in an urban public school. Through rich, detailed portraits, excerpts from teacher journals, student work, and lived memories and recollections, Daniel Meier shows that the heart of teaching and learning in our culturally diverse urban schools is tied to the overall quality of human interaction in the classroom. “I know that every classroom teacher will read this with bated breath, perhaps even with a small knot in the pit of their stomach at times. What will the kids do next? Will it have a happy ending? . . . I think parents, too–regardless of race or class–will recognize their teachers, their children, and their schools in this account.” —From the Foreword by Deborah Meier “I tell the story of our year together because teachers, educators, parents, and others are always in need of personal, direct accounts from the classroom. . . . I hope readers will see and hear and feel the voices in this story according to their own experiences and hopes and dreams for our children and schools.” —From the Introduction

Common Core implementation begins with asking the right questions! While the Common Core couldn’t be clearer about what to teach, they never quite tackle how to teach. That’s what makes Inquiring into the Common Core such an essential resource. It offers teachers an inquiry-based professional development model for achieving greater understanding of the standards themselves, then determining best ways to realize desired outcomes. How exactly does the model work? Teachers take charge of their own professional development by posing questions, or wonderings, to stimulate action and higher-level insight into the big ambitions of the Common Core. At the very same time, they engage in a parallel process of inquiry with their students in service of the very same goals. Assisting teachers along the ways, Inquiring into the Common Core provides tools to systematically study teaching effectiveness while adapting to new standards classroom-ready, student inquiry techniques and strategies to apply within Common Core’s framework real life inquiry-implementation examples from a high-need, high-poverty school Ideal for both teams or individual teachers, there’s no better resource for laying the groundwork for successful and thought-provoking classroom actualization amid shifting times.

Many educator preparation programs have a teacher reflection component and/or model; however, the current available literature provides little information regarding reflection’s impact on teacher performance and student learning. Reflectivity and Cultivating Student Learning includes theory, research, and practice appropriate for teacher educators, teacher candidates, classroom teachers, school administrators, and educational researchers. This text will be useful for teacher education programs, graduate programs in education, and professional development for educators. The goal of this book is to substantiate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that have been used to establish teacher reflectivity as a foundation of teacher education and to advance the acquisition, applications, and appreciation of teacher reflectivity as a critical aspect of professional growth and development. Pultorak and his contributors enrich the literature and provide greater clarity regarding reflectivity’s impact on student learning in our global society.
