Book Description
A call to action for school and community leaders to reframe educational institutions as open systems that are adaptable and responsive to the needs of students, families, and communities. Landon Mascareñaz and Doannie Tran propose that, even as events of this decade have exposed stress points in existing top-down, closed systems within education and other public institutions, they have also created prime opportunities to rethink and redesign those systems in ways that encourage civic participation and invigorate local democracy. In The Open System, Mascareñaz and Tran argue for a critical revitalization of public education centered in openness, an organization design concept in which an entity receives, considers, and acts on input from the community it serves. As they demonstrate, open education policy improves information flow, increasing opportunity, bolstering public trust, and making room for cocreation and coproduction driven by community partnerships and family engagement. Based on their groundbreaking work with educational coalitions such as the Kentucky Coalition for Advancing Education and Colorado’s Homegrown Talent Initiative, Mascareñaz and Tran introduce six key liberatory moves that can bring about open system transformation. They highlight real-life examples of the types of incremental, specific, and discrete projects that leaders can use to create openness in educational systems at the school, district, and state levels, providing a blueprint for changemaking.

Book Description
Romanticism is often understood as an age of extremes, yet it also marks the birth of the modern medium in all senses of the word. Engaging with key texts of the romantic period, the book outlines a wide-reaching project to re-imagine the middle as a constitutive principle. Sng argues that Romanticism dislodges such terms as medium, moderation, and mediation from serving as mere self-evident tools that conduct from one pole to another. Instead, they offer a dwelling in and with the middle: an attention to intervals, interstices, and gaps that make these terms central to modern understandings of relation.

Book Description
The Bible asks the question, "Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?" (Amos 3:3 NLT). The answer is obvious to everyone. Hand in Hand was written to help every couple discuss the direction of their marriage while holding hands with no intention of letting go. Wedding vows are every couple's proof that they have agreed to walk side by side. But what is the next direction in your journey? The answer isn't as obvious as Amos's thought. The explanation is as unique as your relationship, but effective communication smoothens the potholes in the road. Smiles, laughter, tears, and intimacy all await you on this journey. Embrace each change of direction or twist in the trail as long as you are walking hand in hand. Hand in Hand is a once-a-week devotion encompassing a full year. Each one is designed to be read together. Each devotion is composed of four segments that were created to enhance intimate conversations. The first segment articulates colorful analogies that reveal life application. The second segment is called "Pillow Talk." Four questions are concealed here and are intended to activate heart-to-heart conversations. "Prayer Focus" will follow, intertwining the devotion, your marriage, and His Word, which activates spiritual growth. The last segment is called "Walking It Out." Each week you will have an opportunity to express your love through action. This is designed to incorporate a fun or romantic expression of the collaborated understanding that you have received from that week's corresponding devotion. So lace up your brand-new hiking boots, take each other's hand, and enjoy the adventure of your lifelong journey together!
