Cultivating the Genius of Black Children by Debra Ren-Etta Sullivan Pdf

There has been much attention given to the achievement gap between white and minority students, especially African American children. Through research and years of experience, the author breaks down the cultural influences on children's learning styles and provides a practical approach to helping black children thrive in the classroom. For black children, which Sullivan defines as those of African descent, there is a disconnect between learning preferences and learning environments that must be bridged before the achievement gap can be closed. This hands-on resource is filled with effective strategies and best practices to help early childhood educators expand their "toolbox" for supporting children. Increasing cultural intelligence will allow us to work across the many differences in our classrooms. As our schools become more diverse, cultural competency will be an increasingly important skill for teacher's efficacy and children's success. By cultivating the individual genius of each child and meeting children where they are today, we can invigorate the education system and provide children high-quality early education experiences. Debra Ren-Etta Sullivan, EdD, is the cofounder and president of Praxis Institute for Early Childhood Education. She has more than twenty-five years of experience in higher education as a teacher, researcher, and administrator.

Developing Growth Mindsets by Donna Wilson,Marcus Conyers Pdf

Human beings have tremendous potential to acquire new knowledge, develop new skills, and improve their brains throughout life. By explicitly teaching learners about brain plasticity and malleable intelligence (the idea that they can become functionally smarter through effort) and by modeling and teaching specific learning strategies, teachers can help students experience higher levels of success as they develop a growth mindset. Discovering that learning changes their brains helps students develop this growth mindset—the belief that they can improve their knowledge and skills through the use of learning strategies and with guidance and support from teachers, coaches, and mentors. Donna Wilson and Marcus Conyers share strategies and techniques for developing growth mindsets based on their BrainSMART® program for bridging the science of learning to the practice of teaching and elaborate on their seven principles for developing and sustaining growth mindsets: * Understand the mindsets. * Keep plasticity front of mind. * Learn with practical optimism. * Set growth goals. * Get the feedback needed. * Improve methods. * Focus on progress, not perfection. By maintaining a growth mindset about your students' learning potential and applying learning strategies and techniques like those shared in this book, you can guide your students to continually develop a growth mindset—and experience a positive, upward learning spiral of success!

Think Differently About Learning by Maren Goerss,Angela Sizer Pdf

Hosts of the Homeschool Unrefined Podcast show you how let go of traditional measures of success, and instead measure learning by curiosity, joy, self-regulation, and critical thinking. Children deserve more than the systems we're currently using to educate them. Hardworking teachers, diligent administrators, and devoted parents are trying their best in an outdated system that isn't meeting our children's complex needs. Instead, imagine a different way to learn. With helpful, practical tips and anecdotes from homeschooling families, this guide covers all you need to know about learning differences, mental health, devices and technology, socialization, and more. It's for traditional school families who are learning to balance outer expectations with their own needs with a different way of learning. It's for homeschool families who are looking for a more inclusive, supportive, and authentic approach. Angela and Maren pair their years of teaching in a variety of different schools with their years of homeschooling their combined seven children. As they know first-hand, any parent, child, or family can thrive as they unlearn old ways, lean into their own strengths, and celebrate unconventional wins.

Spiritual Connections by Sylvia Browne Pdf

Have you ever wondered why some relationships are wonderful and others are just catastrophic and tragic? Why do we get along with some people and continually engage in bitter fighting with others? In this fascinating and helpful book, internationally renowned psychic Sylvia Browne examines why we form connections with certain individuals ... for better or worse. From the lifelong comfort of a loving marriage to the agony of a brief encounter that ends in heartbreak, she reveals why we have joyful and happy relationships on the one hand, and chaotic and painful ones on the other. Sylvia takes us on a remarkable excursion that covers all the different types of relationships we'll experience in life. From childhood to our golden years, she helps us see why we form both beneficial and challenging unions; and she also explores how the themes and charts of our lives can interact with those of others in both positive and negative ways - creating situations that can nurture us for years or doom us to disaster. Sylvia enables us to come to a true understanding of why we're attracted to some people and turned off by others. By utilizing her marvelous insights, we can all learn how to find spirituality in every connection we make (and separate the wheat from the chaff) in order to live happier and more fulfilling lives.
