Free to Learn

Free to Learn - Get this book for an amazing price! A leading expert in childhood development makes the case for why self-directed learning is the best way to get kids to learn.
 
In Free to Learn, developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that in order to foster children who will thrive in today's constantly changing world, we must entrust them to steer their own learning and development. Drawing on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives, solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient.
 
Free to Learn suggests that it's time to stop asking what's wrong with children, and start asking what's wrong with the system. It shows how we can act to improve children's lives and to promote their happiness and learning.

The Highly Effective Teacher: 7 Classroom-Tested Practices that Foster Student Success
 
What are the secrets to unlocking student success? And what can teachers do to get better at helping students develop deep understanding of content, attain higher-order thinking skills, and become secure, confident, and capable learners?

In this book, teacher and professor Jeff Marshall showcases how teaching with intentionality answers these questions. Specifically, he introduces the Teacher Intentionality Practice Scale (TIPS), a framework for both supporting and measuring effective teaching. Taken together, the framework's seven TIPs provide a research-based, classroom-tested guide to help teachers:

* create coherent, connected lessons;
* use strategies and resources, including technology, that truly enhance learning;
* organize a safe, respectful learning environment;
* develop challenging and rigorous learning experiences;
* promote interactive, thoughtful learning;
* nurture a creative, problem-solving classroom culture; and
* deliver feedback and formative assessment that inform teaching and learning.

The Highly Effective Teacher is a guidebook for thoughtful, intentional teaching with one goal: success for all students, in every classroom.

Spark
 
Leadership is not about job titles—it’s about action and behavior. “Sparks” are the doers, thinkers, innovators, and key influencers who are catalysts for personal and organizational change.

Leadership experts in this book show how you can become a Spark by cultivating seven key leadership behaviors. Grounded in the latest research on leadership development, this fresh, accessible road map is packed with real-world stories from inside companies like Facebook, Google, and Boston Scientific, and from the authors’ own high-stakes, challenging experiences serving in the US Armed Forces.

With this book
 as a blueprint, anyone can become a catalyst for change, and any organization can identify and develop Sparks.

Featuring a Foreword by Frederick W. Smith, founder, chairman and CEO of FedEx
