"English learners (ELs) are the fastest-growing segment of the K-12 population. But Els and their families, who are in the process of learning English and navigating an often-unfamiliar education system, may not have a voice powerful enough to articulate their needs.

Book Description
THE BOOK FOR EVERY TEACHER WHO HAS EVER BEEN FRUSTRATED BY THE DECISIONS MADE OUTSIDE THEIR SCHOOL THAT AFFECT THE STUDENTS INSIDE THEIR SCHOOL. How to Be Heard offers every teacher 10 ways to successfully amplify his or her voice, and demonstrates that when teachers' voices are heard, they will be rightfully recognized and supported as change leaders in their schools. Celine Coggins, a renowned teacher advocate, offers nuts-and-bolts strategies that are recognized as the "price of admission" to becoming a credible and welcomed participant in important policy conversations and decisions. The author clearly demonstrates that it is not only possible for teachers to initiate change, but to also effectively participate on the policy playing field. In ten clear chapters, the author demonstrates how teachers can and must advocate for their students and their profession. Throughout this book Coggins proves that "If you're not at the table, you're on the menu." This how-to guide is filled with concrete ideas for engaging in productive decision-making, using real-world examples from teachers who have successfully used these strategies.

Book Description
With your child's education at stake, the Insider's Guide will provide a step by step process as you embrace your role as advocate in IEP or 504 meetings. ADD/ADHD, Autism, neurological disorders, and other learning disabilities and disabling conditions, in general, significantly impact your child's success at school. As a result, developing the best educational plan in support of your child's learning will require parent advocacy beyond what you are comfortable with or prepared for. For this reason, the Insider's Guide is written for you!For the first-time parent, the advocacy path may be one of the most trying and difficult paths of your life as it can be an emotionally draining and potentially frustrating process. This handbook offers assistance whether you are navigating the systems with little or no experience or a veteran parent familiar with special needs and the school system. These strategies will streamline your efforts toward successful advocacy and minimize your level of frustration. The Insider's Guide will increase your ability to take control of your child's educational planning through an easy to follow, step by step process through an "outsider looking in" perspective. The strategies prescribed within the Insider's Guide will help with your focus, direction and most important your purpose, in contrast to the emotional roller coaster often associated with the special needs path. The primary responsibility of an effective parent advocate is to move the process from emotion to fact, or shifting from subjective reasoning to objective understanding. This book will be your "go to" guide for years to come.

Book Description
A MEMOIR BY THE YOUNGEST RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE As seen on Netflix with David Letterman "I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday." When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
