Book Description
This book is based on the premise that story making and storytelling are fundamental human activities, shared by all cultures. The power and potential of stories in learning has been recognised by practitioners of the Storyline Approach since the 1960s. As can be seen from the scope and variety of contributions to this book, educators from across the world continue to employ the pedagogies and strategies of Storyline to complement and extend the educational opportunities they offer to the learners in their care. They demonstrate that story can be a medium for developing skills and making connections; a means of social and cultural bonding and of sharing culture and belief systems; and a way of sharing in common human experiences, often by uniting both the cognitive and the affective domains. It can tap into the imagination and emotions to form new and meaningful connections between existing areas of knowledge than can often be neglected in conventional educational practice. The book provides educators and learners with examples of creative, meaningful and powerful educational experiences, and is the result of the extending and crafting of some of the presentations and ideas offered by delegates at the 5th International Storyline Conference held in Reykjavik in 2012.

Book Description
This autobiography depicts the author's haunting memories, frustrations of ignorance (darkness) as a child, and the confusion that escorted introverted Rose Rutland into a season of promiscuity as a young woman and an unplanned pregnancy, then ultimately into attempting suicide. It also shows the tricks and tactics of the enemy, how he played and preyed upon her to bring her to that place of hopelessness. This young Black woman, Rose, struggles to understand what is happening to her amid the ignorance (darkness) that slowly overtakes her throughout her life. Ignorance, ranging from parents' love, sibling rivalry, neglect, guns, men, sex, abortion, abuse, lies, secrets, misunderstandings, dreams, visions, angels, God, and eternity. Despite it all, Rose pushes toward the unknown. God wanted this book written to knock on the doors of hearts that are crying out for help, as mine was. Writing this book brought back memories that used to make me cry. Being led of God to write it I cried not for pain of those memories. I wept over the Love God showed through it all. And I laughed at the foolishness of that dead little girl. This book is an answer to someone's cry. May this book increase hope and faith in God, open blind eyes, and set the captives free.

Book Description
Women remain dramatically underrepresented in elective office, including in entry-level political offices. While they enjoy the freedom to stand for office and therefore have an equal legal footing with men, this persistent gender imbalance raises pressing questions about democratic legitimacy, the inclusivity of American politics, and the quality of political representation. The reasons for women's underrepresentation remain the subject of much debate. One explanation--that the United States lacks sufficient openings for political newcomers--has become less compelling in recent years, as states that have adopted term limits have not seen the expected gains in women's office holding. Other accounts about candidate scarcity, gender inequalities in society, and the lingering effects of gendered socialization have some merit; however, these accounts still fail to explain the relatively low numbers. Drawing upon original surveys conducted in 1981 and 2008 by the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) of women state legislators across all fifty states, and follow-up interviews after the 2008 survey, the authors find that gender differences in pathways to the legislatures, first evident in 1981, have been surprisingly persistent over time. They find that, while the ambition framework better explains men's decisions to run for office, a relationally embedded model of candidate emergence better captures women's decision-making, with women's decisions more often influenced by the encouragement and support of parties, organizations, and family members. By rethinking the nature of women's representation, this study calls for a reorientation of academic research on women's election to office and provides insight into new strategies for political practitioners concerned about women's political equality.

Book Description
The true story of Fauja Singh, who broke world records to become the first one hundred-year-old to run a marathon, shares valuable lessons on the source of his grit, determination to overcome obstacles, and commitment to positive representation of the Sikh community. Every step forward is a victory. Fauja Singh was born determined. He was also born with legs that wouldn't allow him to play cricket with his friends or carry him to school miles from his village in Punjab. But that didn't stop him. Working on his family's farm, Fauja grew stronger to meet his own full potential. He never stopped striving. At the age of 81, after a lifetime of making his body, mind, and heart stronger, Fauja decided to run his first marathon. He went on to break records all around the world and became the first person over 100 to complete the grueling long-distance race. With exuberant text by Simran Jeet Singh and exhilarating illustrations by Baljinder Kaur, the true story of Fauja Singh reminds us that it's both where we start and how we finish that make our journeys unforgettable.

Book Description
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the Nation's Report Card, has developed and pilot-tested a variety of hands-on science and mathematics tasks. These tasks were developed as prototypes for use in future national assessments, but the concepts measured and the innovative approaches used are equally suitable for classroom learning. This manual is designed for use by science and mathematics coordinators and teachers to share these techniques. To develop these hands-on activities, NAEP invited the views of science and mathematics educators and worked closely with members of the United Kingdom's Assessment of Performance Unit at Kings College, London University. Tasks were administered as group activities, station activities, and as complete experiments. About 1,000 third-, seventh-, and eleventh-grade students from 12 school districts across four regions of the country were assessed, with approximately 100-300 responses obtained for each task. Results showed that students responded to the tasks, and results conformed to expectations about basic developmental trends in thinking skills. In response to the pilot study, 11 tasks field-tested by NAEP were selected to show a range of possibilities for classroom and assessment use. Each task is presented by thinking skills necessary for successful student performance and the administration mode used by NAEP. Hierarchically arranged tasks are divided into the following sections: (1) classifying; (2) observing and making inferences; (3) formulating hypotheses; (4) interpreting data; (5) designing an experiment, and (6) conducting a complete experiment. The presentation for each task includes a brief explanation of the activity, the student response sheet, a list of the equipment used, and one or more exemplary student responses. (LMO)

Serious games provide a unique opportunity to engage students more fully than traditional teaching approaches. Understanding the best way to utilize games and play in an educational setting is imperative for effectual learning in the twenty-first century. Gamification: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications investigates the use of games in education, both inside and outside of the classroom, and how this field once thought to be detrimental to student learning can be used to augment more formal models. This four-volume reference work is a premier source for educators, administrators, software designers, and all stakeholders in all levels of education.
