Teaching Stories by Judy Logan Pdf

When nearly everyone else is telling kids no—"No, do it this way….No, I don’t want to hear what you think….No, sit down and pay attention"—Judy Logan says yes, to a child’s passions, interests, and hopes. The results have been news-making; her students blossom academically, winning essay contests, prizes, and entrance to the country’s best colleges. Armed with a strong sense of who they are and what they think, her students also blossom personally—resisting peer pressure, understanding racial and gender stereotypes, and connecting to the world in which they live. Drawing on over thirty years "knee deep in adolescence" as a teacher in a public middle school, Judy Logan shows that it is the very vulnerability of adolescence that makes it a time of tremendous opportunity for emotional, intellectual, and social growth. Uniting creativity and compassion, Logan’s vivid classroom stories bring into focus for all parents numerous effective strategies for working with adolescents. Above all, Judy Logan is a compelling storyteller who loves and respects her students and the work of learning. Eye-opening and inspirational, the stories she has to tell take the simple human drama of day-to-day classroom life and create an all-embracing vision of the possibilities of public education in America.

Beginning Teaching by Sandy Schuck,Peter Aubusson,John Buchanan,Tom Russell Pdf

The experiences of the first years of new teachers’ professional lives are critical to their decisions about embracing or leaving the teaching profession. Writ large, these experiences have the potential to either underpin or undermine the growth and development of the teaching profession. This book offers a research-based account of beginning teachers’ experiences, told from their own perspectives and often in their own words. Beginning Teaching: Stories from the Classroom provides valuable source material to inform teacher education practices. The authors draw on more than 20 years of research on the professional learning, retention and attrition of beginning teachers to provide evocative illustrations of the challenges and successes that occur in the early years of teaching. The compelling and coherent narratives will appeal not only to student and graduate teachers but also to program designers, coaches and senior managers in schools. Above all, the book speaks to teacher educators in the hope that the experiences discussed here will suggest ways of supporting student teachers to grow and flourish once they launch their careers in the profession. These evocative stories express beginning teachers’ anguish and elation and also provide testimony to their resilience and perseverance in an altruistic profession. The analysis and interpretation of their stories will challenge and uplift; inspire and shame; give cause for celebration and melancholy; generate empathy and provoke introspection. Above all else, these stories call for change.

Like a Love Story by Abdi Nazemian Pdf

Stonewall Honor Book * A Time Magazine Best YA Book of All Time "A book for warriors, divas, artists, queens, individuals, activists, trend setters, and anyone searching for the courage to be themselves.”—Mackenzi Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue It’s 1989 in New York City, and for three teens, the world is changing. Reza is an Iranian boy who has just moved to the city with his mother to live with his stepfather and stepbrother. He’s terrified that someone will guess the truth he can barely acknowledge about himself. Reza knows he’s gay, but all he knows of gay life are the media’s images of men dying of AIDS. Judy is an aspiring fashion designer who worships her uncle Stephen, a gay man with AIDS who devotes his time to activism as a member of ACT UP. Judy has never imagined finding romance...until she falls for Reza and they start dating. Art is Judy’s best friend, their school’s only out and proud teen. He’ll never be who his conservative parents want him to be, so he rebels by documenting the AIDS crisis through his photographs. As Reza and Art grow closer, Reza struggles to find a way out of his deception that won’t break Judy’s heart—and destroy the most meaningful friendship he’s ever known. This is a bighearted, sprawling epic about friendship and love and the revolutionary act of living life to the fullest in the face of impossible odds.

The book is unique in its inclusion of anthropologists and education practitioners and its emphasis on multiple subfields in anthropology. The contributors discuss digital storytelling in the context of educational programs, teaching anthropology, and ethnographic research involving a variety of populations and subjects that will appeal to researchers and practitioners engaged with qualitative methods and pedagogies that rely on media technology.

Sufi Teaching Stories by Anab Whitehouse Pdf

Although told in a largely refashioned manner, a number of the following stories are very loosely based upon either time-honored stories of the mystics or are built around various, essential spiritual insights drawn from their teachings. Other stories appearing in this volume are wholly original but are still rooted in a traditional, spiritual perspective. In either case, the names have been changed to protect the innocent, and, as well, considerable poetic license has been taken in the telling and/or re-telling of some of these spiritual tales. The author is neither a shaykh nor a guide, but he did have the opportunity to serve and work closely with an adept of Islamic mysticism, and, as a result, was exposed to a variety of principles, values, and teachings of the Sufi path. The stories are being given expression in the present volume because they might have something of value to offer to anyone who cares to engage them and reflect on what is being said.

The Pot That Was Cracked and Other Ancient Teaching Stories by Mitchell Earl Gibson Pdf

Bestselling Author Mitchell Earl Gibson presents his newest book; Ancient Teaching Stories. During the early years of my spiritual training, my teachers would often give me stories in answer to my questions. Sometimes, I understood the essence of the story...sometimes, the answers would elude me for years. Over time, I came to understand that the search for answers is not the reason that we ask questions. In truth, we are looking for pieces of our own puzzle, bricks in the Path that we can apply to the patchwork of our individual story. I assumed that all my friends, students, and loved ones knew all the stories that I related. I found that this was not the case. Teaching stories flow from one culture to another...one mind to another, and pass through gently through the soul leaving the softest of impressions. In truth, the greatest of these leaves of changed forever. I have chosen these stories for their lessons. Some of the stories are brilliant in their poignancy and beauty. Some of the stories are harsh and cruel, like the lessons of life, but with a spark of hope always embedded within. There are a few stories sprinkled within this text that are designed to transform the reader at the core. You will know those when you read them. These stories are drawn from many ancient cultures. The breadth of human wisdom is wonderfully preserved through our tradition of story. Curiously, these stories have no known authors. The Master is an amalgamation of wise men from a variety of cultures. He speaks the truths that color the boundaries of our deepest dreams. Mitchell Earl Gibson is the bestselling author of Your Immortal Body of Light, Signs of Mental Illness, and The Miracle Prayer.
