Mapping the way from teacher preparation to edTPA completion : a guide for secondary education candidates / by Fitzgerald, Jason C.,author.(CARDINAL)873911; Schpakow, Michelle L.,author.(CARDINAL)873912;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Beyond compliance -- Planning for instruction -- Planning for assessment -- Planning to support students -- Understanding and using academic language -- Fostering a challenging learning environment -- Using assessment data -- New frontiers in teacher performance assessments."As of 2020, teacher candidates in twenty-three states are required to complete the edTPA, per state policies. An additional eighteen states are exploring or moving towards implementation of the assessment, doubling the number of future teachers who need to both understand and successfully pass this assessment in order to be certified. Unfortunately, while many of these teacher candidates have heard of the edTPA, and even engaged in similar tasks throughout their teacher preparation programs, they have limited access to information that links their experiences in the classroom with the mandates of the assessment. Mapping the Way from Teacher Preparation to edTPA Completion serves as a guide in preparing for the edTPA. Unlike other books on the assessment, this book is formatted to pair with curriculum, methods, and capstone course curricula. While the edTPA is important for teacher candidate's eventual credentialing, it is only an assessment. The learning that takes place during teacher preparation coursework and field experiences is critical to developing the professional capital candidates need to lead classrooms in transformative learning. Thus, this book includes features that make explicit connections between candidates' teacher preparation program learning, teacher performance assessments, and individual reflective practice. This book aims to help students better prepare for the edTPA and learn the best ways to not only prepare for the assessment, but also teaching in the future"--Print version record.

Finding your Hispanic roots / by Ryskamp, George R.,author.(CARDINAL)189662;
Includes bibliographical references and index.1. Introduction to Hispanic family history research -- 2. Research: Where to begin -- 3. Research: Organizing and evaluating information -- 4. Hispanic family history research in an LDS Family History Center -- 5. Tracing the Hispanic immigrant in United States -- 6. General Spanish research techniques -- 7. Determining objectives and starting work in original sources -- 8. Civil registers -- 9. Catholic Church records -- 10. Marriage records -- 11. Census records -- 12. Spanish Military records -- 13. Notarial records."Finding Your Hispanic Roots is quite possibly the most useful manual on Hispanic ancestry ever published. Building on the previously published Tracing Your Hispanic Heritage (1984), it provides detailed information on the records, sources, and reference works used in research in all major Hispanic countries. Starting with an examination of basic research principles and techniques, illustrated with examples from actual Hispanic research experience, it goes on to discuss such important subjects as language and handwriting, Hispanic surnames, methods of tracing Hispanic immigrants in U.S. records, and, most importantly, how to conduct Hispanic genealogical research in LDS Family History Centers, where the researcher has access to the largest body of Hispanic records in the United States. With this foundation in place, the work proceeds with an examination of the types of records found in all Hispanic countries, using examples from many of them and indicating where particular record types are found. Covered here are such indispensable records as civil registers of births, marriages, and deaths; church records of baptisms, marriages, and burials; census records; military records; and the often under-utilized notarial records. This discussion is enriched by the introduction of numerous documents that have been transcribed and translated, allowing the reader to teach himself to read and work with old records. George R. Ryskamp, the author, is an Assistant Professor of History at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah and an Accredited Genealogist specializing in Spanish language research and United States probate and legal systems."--

Live not by lies : a manual for Christian dissidents / by Dreher, Rod,author.(CARDINAL)473448;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Kolakovi the prophet -- Our Pre-Totalitarian culture -- Progressivism as religion -- Capitalism, woke and watchful -- Value nothing more than truth -- Cultivate cultural memory -- Families are resistance cells -- Religion, the bedrock of resistance -- Standing in solidarity -- The gift of suffering -- Live not by lies."The New York Times bestselling author of The Benedict Option draws on the wisdom of Christian survivors of Soviet persecution to warn American Christians of approaching dangers. For years, émigrés from the former Soviet bloc have been telling Rod Dreher they see telltale signs of "soft" totalitarianism cropping up in America--something more Brave New World than Nineteen Eighty-Four. Identity politics are beginning to encroach on every aspect of life. Civil liberties are increasingly seen as a threat to "safety". Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hastens the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. In Live Not By Lies, Dreher amplifies the alarm sounded by the brave men and women who fought totalitarianism. He explains how the totalitarianism facing us today is based less on overt violence and more on psychological manipulation. He tells the stories of modern-day dissidents--clergy, laity, martyrs, and confessors from the Soviet Union and the captive nations of Europe--who offer practical advice for how to identify and resist totalitarianism in our time. Following the model offered by a prophetic World War II-era pastor who prepared believers in his Eastern European to endure the coming of communism, Live Not By Lies teaches American Christians a method for resistance: SEE: Acknowledge the reality of the situation. JUDGE: Assess reality in the light of what we as Christians know to be true. ACT: Take action to protect truth. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said that one of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming totalitarianism can't happen in their country. Many American Christians are making that mistake today, sleepwalking through the erosion of our freedoms. Live Not By Lies will wake them and equip them for the long resistance."--

Handcuffed : what holds policing back, and the keys to reform / by Sparrow, Malcolm K.,author.;
"The police shooting of an unarmed young black man in the St. Louis, Missouri, suburb of Ferguson earlier this year sparked riots and the beginning of a national conversation on race and policing. Much of that conversation has focused more on social issues. Malcolm Sparrow, who teaches at Harvard's Kennedy School and is a former British police detective, argues in this new book that there is another dimension that played a role not only in Ferguson but in many other high-profile police killings of unarmed blacks: the character of policing itself. Sparrow shows how police departments across America have shelved the traditional ideas of community policy-the cop on the beat how knows his or her neighborhood and its inhabitants-and also simple problem solving when it comes to crime to focus on crime reduction. That has meant a reliance on quantitative methods where police define how well they are doing by tallying up how many traffic tickets have been issued (Ferguson), or arrests made for petty crimes (Eric Garner selling nontaxed cigarettes in New York). The list goes on. Police departments need to shed this reliance on crime reduction metrics and mindsets and turn back to making public safety, and public cooperation, their primary goals"--

Wade and the consequences for women, abortion, and the future of America. In June 2022, Americans watched in shock as the Supreme Court reversed one of the nation's landmark rulings. For nearly a half century, Roe was synonymous with women's rights and freedoms. Then, suddenly, it was gone. In their groundbreaking book The Fall of Roe, Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer reveal the explosive inside story of how it happened. Their investigation charts the shocking political and religious campaign to take down abortion rights and remake American families, womanhood, and the nation itself. Reeling from Barack Obama's 2012 landslide presidential victory -- and motivated by a spiritual mission -- a small but determined network of elite conservative Christian lawyers and powerbrokers worked quietly and methodically to keep their true cause alive: ending abortion rights. Thinking in generational terms, they devised a strategic, top-down takeover at every level of political and legal life, from little-known anti-abortion lobbyists in far flung statehouses to the arbiters of the constitution at the highest court in the land. Broad swaths of liberal America did not register the severity of the threat until it was far too late. At a moment when women had more power than ever before, the feminist movement suffered one of the greatest political defeats in American history.

Most likely to succeed : preparing our kids for the innovation era / by Wagner, Tony,author.(CARDINAL)380220; Dintersmith, Ted,author.(CARDINAL)411024;
"From two leading experts in education and entrepreneurship, an urgent call for the radical re-imagining of American education so that we better equip students for the realities of the twenty-first century economy. Today more than ever, we prize academic achievement, pressuring our children to get into the "right" colleges, have the highest GPAs, and pursue advanced degrees. But while students may graduate with credentials, by and large they lack the competencies needed to be thoughtful, engaged citizens and to get good jobs in our rapidly evolving economy. Our school system was engineered a century ago to produce a work force for a world that no longer exists. Alarmingly, our methods of schooling crush the creativity and initiative young people need to thrive in the twenty-first century. In Most Likely to Succeed, bestselling author and education expert Tony Wagner and venture capitalist Ted Dintersmith call for a complete overhaul of the function and focus of American schools, sharing insights and stories from the front lines, including profiles of successful students, teachers, parents, and business leaders. Most Likely to Succeed presents a new vision of American education, one that puts wonder, creativity, and initiative at the very heart of the learning process and prepares students for today's economy. This book offers parents and educators a crucial guide to getting the best for their children and a roadmap for policymakers and opinion leaders"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Our education DNA -- The purpose of education -- What's at stake? -- The formative years: K-12 -- The gold ring: the college degree -- Teaching, learning, and assessing -- A new vision for education.

A framework for understanding poverty / by Payne, Ruby K.,author.(CARDINAL)635465;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-193) and index.Definitions and resources -- The role of language and story -- Hidden rules among classes -- Characteristics of generational poverty -- Role models and emotional resources -- Support systems -- Discipline -- Instruction and improving achievement -- Creating relationships.A Framework for Understanding Poverty was Dr. Ruby Payne's first book and the first book RFT Publishing Co. (now aha! Process, Inc.) published. It is fitting that the book and the company's history are intertwined. The central goal of the company is educating people about the differences that separate economic classes and then teaching them skills to bridge those gulfs. Framework is the method that delivers that message. Ruby's thesis for Framework is simple. Individuals accustomed to personal poverty think and act differently from people in the middle and upper economic classes. Most teachers today come from middle-class backgrounds. Economic class differences, in an educational setting, often make both teaching and learning challenging. Too often, teachers don't understand why a student from poverty is chronically acting out or is not grasping a concept even after repeated explanations. At the same time, the student doesn't understand what he/she is expected to produce and why. Ruby discusses at length the social cues or "hidden rules" that govern how we think and interact in society - and the significance of those rules in a classroom. Framework also illuminates differences between generational poverty and situational poverty. Ruby explains the "voices" that all of us use to project ourselves to the outside world and how poverty can affect those voices. Through the use of realistic teaching scenarios, Ruby focuses attention on sources of support, or resources, which might or might not be present in a student's life. Resources are important assets - things like mental stability, emotional support, and physical health - and the more resources students have in their lives, the better able they'll be to achieve their goals. Framework is a teacher's book. It draws on years of experience in multiple school systems, along with a wide range of academic positions. In this groundbreaking work Ruby Payne matter-of-factly presents the issues central to teaching students from poverty, then takes a pivotal next step by offering proven tools educators can use immediately to improve the quality of instruction in their classrooms.
