God Schooling: How God Intended Children to Learn
by Julie Polanco
Are you a parent who is considering homeschooling this fall or maybe you have made the decision to homeschool and are looking for additional guidance and resources? Whether you are still deciding or not, God Schooling, is a good place to start unearthing the world of homeschooling.
The most frequently asked question on homeschool forums is, “How do I do this?” and the number one complaint is, “David won’t do (fill in the blank). How can I get him to do it?” God Schooling answers these questions and more. Parents gain the insight and confidence to teach their own children as they learn from experts, Biblical references, and the author’s own experiences from nearly fifteen years of homeschooling.
The Empowered Principal: The School Leader’s Alternative to Career Burnout
by Angela Kelly Robeck
With schools preparing to reopen this Fall, whether you are a new principal or a veteran there is a weight that has fallen upon your shoulders like never before. The Empowered Principal helps lift that weight as it addresses navigating feelings of overwhelm.
It’s no surprise principals feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Every day, they deal with federal and state regulations, district policies, and parental pressures. The expectations on educators are higher than ever, tempting many principals to consider alternate livelihoods. Former school leader and teacher Angela Kelly Robeck helps principals who feel discouraged at the lack of control they feel over their job and personal life, allowing them to find a new perspective on working to exhaustion, saying yes when they don’t want to, and completely dreading going to work each day.
The Empowered Principal provides relief for readers by pointing out that they have the power and ability to manage the results in their life by adjusting their approach and being mindful of their thoughts and emotional state—regardless of whether they choose to stay in their job or even pursue an alternate career. Angela shares how to manage feelings of overwhelm, reasons why school leaders stay in their jobs, how to confidently stay or peacefully go (and how to choose, and why educators are afraid to speak up. The Empowered Principal guides principals to reform the way they live and work as an educational leader and allows them to work each day with joy and accomplishment.
Teachers and parents can work together to foster a positive learning environment in the midst of a pandemic. As the nation embarks on a “new normal” to the classroom experience where masks and social distancing will play a big role in students’ day to day, it will be important for parents and teachers to work together to ensure not only the physical safety of the students, but the emotional safety as well.
Seven research-based lessons from psychology—the science of human experience—inspire the development of an actively caring for people (AC4P) culture. The education/training purpose: to enhance long-term positive and sustainable relations between teachers, students, school administrators, and SROs, and in turn cultivate an optimal teaching/learning climate and prevent interpersonal conflict and bullying behavior. Both education and training are provided. Each research-based principle for AC4P intervention is explained and followed by questions or scenarios to facilitate group discussion. Behavioral exercises are given to practice each principle and receive supportive and corrective feedback for continuous improvement.
