A giftable collection of essays from celebrity contributors celebrating the great work of teachers or a teacher they admire, curated by ABC News journalist Deborah Roberts. Contributors include Oprah Winfrey, Jenna Bush Hager, Robin Roberts, Brooke Shields, Octavia Spencer, Rachael Ray, Misty Copeland, and more. Everyone can name a teacher that had an impact on their life. Educators not only open our minds to new ideas, but they also help us recognize our potential and our passions. However, they rarely get credit for the life changing work they do, and they may not have any idea how that work can impact a student all the way into adulthood. In Lessons Learned and Cherished: The Teacher Who Changed My Life, award-winning ABC News journalist Deborah Roberts curates a collection of essays and musings from celebrity friends and colleagues alike that share how teachers changed them, imparted life lessons, and helped them get to where they are today. The author has made a donation to DonorsChoose (DonorsChoose.org), a non-profit that encourages people to empower public school teachers by funding their classroom resources.

Oxford International Primary Science takes an enquiry-based approach to learning, engaging students in the topics through asking questions that make them think and activities that encourage them to explore and practise. As students progress through the course, they not only learn about science but how to think like a scientist. They learn the language of scientific enquiry, for example the meaning of observe and predict mean in a scientific context, as well as the important key words for talking about a topic. The topics are explored in careful stages, introducing different aspects at a pace that allows students to absorb and practise what they have learned. Photos, illustrations and diagrams are used to help students explore and understand, and the language is clear and easy for primary children to understand. For the teacher, the Teacher''s Guides provide step-by-step notes for each lesson, guiding students through the topic, and supporting students with their language development when needed

Life lessons from New York Times bestselling author and Today show personality Al Roker and his wife, globetrotting ABC news journalist Deborah Roberts. Al Roker and Deborah Roberts have sixteen Emmy Awards between them. They have covered everything from the Olympics and the Gulf War to natural disasters and the AIDS crisis in Africa. Now these two married journalists and parents have collaborated on the most personal and important "story" of their lives. Been There, Done That is a funny, heartfelt, and empowering collection of life lessons, hard-won wisdom, and instructive family anecdotes from Al and Deborah''s lives, from their parents and grandparents, and from dear friends, famous and not. Here, Al and Deborah candidly share childhood obstacles like obesity and growing up in the segregated south; the challenges and blessings that come from raising very different kids; hard-won truths about marriage and career; the illuminating "little things" that adults can learn from children; and the genuine wisdom that the elderly can share with a younger generation. These are real-life stories told from every perspective--from parent, spouse, daughter, son, and friend, stories that every reader can relate to, appreciate, and share.

This important collection of essays both contributes to the expanding field of classical reception studies and seeks to extend it. Focusing on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain, it looks at a range of different genres (epic, novel, lyric, tragedy, political pamphlet). Within the published texts considered, the usual range of genres dealt with elsewhere is extended by chapters on books for children, and those in which childhood and memories of childhood are informed by antiquity; and also by a multi-genre case study of a highly unusual subject, Spartacus. "Remaking the Classics" also goes beyond books to dramatic performance, and beyond the theatre to radio - a medium of enormous power and influence from the 1920s to the 1960s, whose role in the reception of classics is largely unexplored. The variety of genres and of media considered in the book is balanced both by the focus on Britain in a specific time period, and by an overlap of subject-matter between chapters: the three chapters on twentieth-century drama, for example, range from performance strategies to post-colonial contexts.The book thus combines the consolidation of a field with an attempt to push it in new and exciting directions.

Mr. Otagiri''s Promise is a lyrical and poetic story of a father''s quest to return to his family their lost laughter, forgotten happiness, slumbering smiles and drowsy dreams. Set in Japan at the end of the Second World War, this story illuminates the powerful transitions required when moving from colourless places of life to the brilliant spaces of re-awakened hope, dreams, desires and joy. It is a universal story told with beautiful, poignant imagery and hopeful, positive sentiment.

Rural households have become more diverse in terms of the geographic origin of their income and their spatial spending patterns. As a consequence, the economic well being of rural businesses and that of rural residents are less interdependent than in the past. This raises questions about the sustainability of rural economies and their vulnerability to external influences. The structural path approach is used to investigate the role played by different types of household in transmitting economic influence in the Western Isles region of Scotland. Households with children play the most significant role in connecting the local economic system. It is argued that structural path analysis can be used to provide policy relevant information, complementary to that gained from more conventional social accounting matrix multiplier decomposition techniques.

If you''re a science teacher, this collection will show you paths that others have found to deepen their understanding of the philosophy and practice of teacher research. If you''re a science-teacher educator, it will give you examples about the many ways in-service teachers can conduct inquiry. Either way, Teacher Research provides a memorable passage into ''learning and growing''.

La estrategia marxista como unico camino para la liberacion de la mujer. Se hace un analisis marxista de los origenes de la opresion de las mujeres, basandose en la obra de engels "el origen de la familia, la propiedad privada y el estado". Se perfila la puesta en practica de la estrategia marxista con las experiencias del movimiento socialista de mujeres trabajadoras en alemania antes de la 1a guerra mundial y la primera ola de luchas feministas en estados unidos a principios de 1900. Se pone de manifiesto la division, desde el principio, entre la lucha de las mujeres de clase media y la lucha de las trabajadoras de influencia socialista. Se describen los factores positivos y negativos de la revolucion rusa de 1917 para el movimiento femenino de liberacion. Como consecuencia de las desacreditadas ideas socialistas, tras stalin, la segunda ola del movimiento de mujeres estadounidenses de los años 60 y 70 no adopta las teorias y practicas marxistas sino que sigue estrategias de organizaciones de clase media como "now" (organizacion nacional de mujeres) o de organizaciones radicales feministas, cuyo separatismo utopico ignora la realidad de la mayoria de las mujeres. Se ofrece el panorama actual del movimiento de liberacion femenino y de las luchas de las trabajadoras en estados unidos, se establecen las diferencias ideologicas entre el feminismo y el marxismo como estrategias de liberacion y se llega a la conclusion de que el movimiento de liberacion de las mujeres no podra triunfar sin la victoria del socialismo y viceversa.
