Book Description
This book explores ways of teaching that are free from determinist beliefs about ability. In a detailed critique of the practices of ability labelling and ability-focussed teaching, Learning without Limits examines the damage these practices can do to young people, teachers and the curriculum. Drawing on a research project at the University of Cambridge, the book features nine vivid case studies (from Year 1 to Year 11) that describe how teachers have developed alternative practices despite considerable pressure on them and on their schools and classrooms.

Book Description
Building Yourself up Without Limits a Strategy to win in all Areas of Your Life will give you a new superpower for living life! The ideas are simple as well as the techniques in which to apply them. Acquiring love, success, and wealth all have their challenges that can pop up daily. When they do, they can drag us down under the weight of their stress. What you will learn in this book is about having the power to maintain and grow prosperity in all its forms one day at a time! Have you ever wondered what the core issue is that gets in the way of improving the choices we make in our daily lives? Fear! It's the main reason that our personal growth and transformations are slowed down and unfortunately for many, it is the main reason they give up on their dreams and aspirations all together. Why? Because we become paralyzed by our fear of the unknown. This kind of fear can raise its ugly head and hinder your career, creativity, relationships, money, or even your pursuit of success.Speaking about success, let's look at what the word success really means. In this book, I will teach you how simple it really is to achieve success because it's all about process. Yes, that's it: Process! If you make coffee with a used coffee filter from yesterday, I guarantee you will make an unsuccessful cup of coffee. However, use a new filter with fresh coffee grounds and you will create a successful cup of coffee. Just like making a quality cup of coffee is about the process, the outcome of our lives is all about the quality of our process. If you want to have an outstanding process for your health, career, or life in general, you must first overcome your fear.All motivational self-help books are about improving your process to find success and achieving your dreams! Sounds great, right? So, what's the problem and why are these books not successful in the long term? Because they don't offer the techniques to deal with fear in all its forms when it pops up, and folks, it pops up every day for everyone! Fear is like an enemy that has access to a 24 hour a day dressing room so it can emerge in various disguises at any time for any reason. It can appear in your head like a slacker voice saying, "Dude that report can wait till next week, let's just chill." Sometimes you may hear its voice as a lawyer, "You have no chance of succeeding so why are you putting so much energy into this project?" Even the voice of a well-meaning relative, "Fat? Nah! Your just big boned. Have another slice of cheese cake!" Then, there's also everybody's favorite pastime of "beating yourself up"; which usually follows suit after we give in to our fear and have been derailed from our process. Everybody does it, but nobody knows why! I will teach you how to deal with this fear and overcome it in a healthy manner. I've written this book to give you a new way of living and yes, a new superpower! Is that a bold claim? Perhaps. But seeing is believing and after speaking and coaching clients around the world, I've seen how the spiritually based power of building yourself up without fear-based limits has transformed the quality of life for many because it transformed the quality of their process for success. I believe in the power of this process because I live and teach it daily! That is why I'm excited to start this journey with you as you read through the pages of this book together. By doing this, you will begin to acquire for your life, a new superpower!

Book Description
It Doesn’t Take a Perfect Person to Find a Perfect Love Even though he was born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic created a “ridiculously good life.” But after dating disappointments and a failed relationship, he reached his mid-twenties worried that he would never find a woman to love him and share his life. Then Nick met Kanae and everything changed. But even with undeniable chemistry, they would have to navigate twists and turns worthy of a romantic comedy before becoming "one" in marriage. In Love Without Limits Nick and Kanae tell how they improbably found each other, fell in love, and then fought to overcome skepticism from others about their relationship. Filled with practical insights that will benefit any couple, this inspiring book describes a godly courtship and the early years of the Vujicics’ marriage and parenting journey. Above all, Love Without Limits is an inspiring reminder that when Christ is at the center of a relationship--even with serious challenges--true love will triumph. *** “Despite my optimism about other parts of life, I decided that love in this world had limits after all. I’d become convinced that no woman would want to marry such an obviously imperfect man as me….” As a boy growing up in Australia, Nick Vujicic could not understand why God had allowed him to be born without limbs and if He would ever bring a woman into Nick’s life. On the other side of the world, Kanae Miyahara—a girl growing up in Mexico--saw dysfunction sadly separate her family. She wondered if a loving, lasting marriage was even possible. Later, when Nick realized that God had a purpose for him, his life took on new meaning. But after a long-term relationship ended in heartache, would he ever find someone to marry? Kanae experienced relationships based on superficial attraction, but she longed to find a mate with strong character and faith—a man who would be a godly husband and father. When Nick and Kanae met in the most amazing way, they realized that God—the ultimate Matchmaker-- had used even their discouraging and painful experiences to prepare them for each other…for the love of their life.

Book Description
“Boaler is one of those rare and remarkable educators who not only know the secret of great teaching but also know how to give that gift to others.” — CAROL DWECK, author of Mindset “Jo Boaler is one of the most creative and innovative educators today. Limitless Mind marries cutting-edge brain science with her experience in the classroom, not only proving that each of us has limitless potential but offering strategies for how we can achieve it.” — LAURENE POWELL JOBS “A courageous freethinker with fresh ideas on learning.” — BOOKLIST In this revolutionary book, a professor of education at Stanford University and acclaimed math educator who has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education, reveals the six keys to unlocking learning potential, based on the latest scientific findings. From the moment we enter school as children, we are made to feel as if our brains are fixed entities, capable of learning certain things and not others, influenced exclusively by genetics. This notion follows us into adulthood, where we tend to simply accept these established beliefs about our skillsets (i.e. that we don’t have “a math brain” or that we aren’t “the creative type”). These damaging—and as new science has revealed, false—assumptions have influenced all of us at some time, affecting our confidence and willingness to try new things and limiting our choices, and, ultimately, our futures. Stanford University professor, bestselling author, and acclaimed educator Jo Boaler has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education. In Limitless Mind, she explodes these myths and reveals the six keys to unlocking our boundless learning potential. Her research proves that those who achieve at the highest levels do not do so because of a genetic inclination toward any one skill but because of the keys that she reveals in the book. Our brains are not “fixed,” but entirely capable of change, growth, adaptability, and rewiring. Want to be fluent in mathematics? Learn a foreign language? Play the guitar? Write a book? The truth is not only that anyone at any age can learn anything, but the act of learning itself fundamentally changes who we are, and as Boaler argues so elegantly in the pages of this book, what we go on to achieve.
