Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Teachers are given a great responsibility and challenge when they enter a classroom. The way they see, interpret, and act will determine the difference between effective or weak communication and teaching. It is the task of the teacher to learn and prepare for this classroom setting, including the intrusion of trouble spots, such as anger in its many forms.The overbearing emotion of anger has many faces and can lead to a complicated array of feelings, actions, and consequences. There is no set plan or technique that can address all of the hazards or nuances of anger. Solutions may need to vary from one student to the next, or from one moment to the next for an angry student or teacher.Although Anger in the Classroom is written specifically for teachers and other educational professionals, it also is an invaluable resource for parents and anyone else who works with the young. Recognizing the difficulty that anger and similar strong emotions can cause in schools and in children's lives, this book proposes techniques and practices aimed at preventing and circumventing the damaging effects of these destructive behaviors.Goals of Anger in the Classroom for the Teacher/Reader: To realize the depths of knowledge, ability, and understanding currently hidden beneath one's awareness To head off anger and its manifestations before it can take hold in the classroom or the individual To create a classroom environment that fosters appreciation, rather than resentment To provide specific practices for exploration and specific results To prepare the teacher for passing on experience and knowledge to students To rekindle the excitement and joy of teaching Specific Features: Case stories illustrating concepts and techniques Specific exercises conducive to reader development and enriched classroom practices End-of-chapter questions for readers, especially college students on a path to teacher certification.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. One dog. Two Years. Three States. Sometimes, the long way home is the only way home.When a stray dog named Solomon, scheduled for euthanization in a Georgia high-kill shelter, is pulled by an out-of-state rescue and placed in a Maine foster home, everyone hopes he'll soon find his forever family. But after only a month in his foster home he bolts, beginning an epic two-year journey south through New England. Traveling solo, Solomon survives by his instincts, wits, and the occasional kindness of an ever-changing cast of humans. Battling hunger and the elements, he navigates highways, rivers, suburban roads, wooded pathways, and active rail tracks - searching, it seems, for something. While animal rescue and dog recovery organizations track him, trying desperately to bring him to safety, he eludes all attempts to secure him. Eventually he settles down in the peninsula town of Hull, Massachusetts, making his home in an abandoned shed. And when he slowly learns to trust a neighborhood family, everyone wonders: Is this family what he's been searching for all along.…
