In the fourth installment of Words to Live By series, Mary Engelbreit turns her attention to teachers-those who teach inside the classroom and out. The result is sure to win high marks from educators and the rest of her fans.
Strong memories of her own early school days coupled with a deep respect for the work teachers do every day has made teaches (and school children too, of course) frequent subjects of Mary's artwork. "I guess it's my little way of showing appreciation for a severely under-appreciated group," she says.
As in the other Words to Live By books, Mary's artwork is presented alongside inspirational quotes from famous writers, scholars, statesmen, and students-this time with words that pay tribute to the practitioners of this most noble profession. Teachers love Mary Engelbreit, and this book shows that the feeling is mutual.

John Baptist de la Salle Patron Saint of Teachers

On May 15, 1950, Saint John Baptist de La Salle was declared the Patron Saint of All Teachers of Youth by the Catholic Church. There is something in his story, in his writings, and in his living spirit that plants itself in the hearts of teachers everywhere.

Here is someone worth knowing, especially if you are involved in the ministry of education.

Here is a remarkable individual who continues to shape the educational world of today in ways he could not have imagined, inspiring educators from all backgrounds and cultures, shaping how they see students, teachers, and the activity of teaching.

His insights, example, and faith-ﬁlled perspective naturally resonate with that of educators everywhere, reminding them why they became involved in teaching in the ﬁrst place.

He is indeed a true saint for all teachers. And this little book tells his story.

A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE, AND INSPIRE All of us can recall a certain teacher—a very special someone—who inspired us to learn. This person is usually a school teacher, but may also be a coach, mentor, parent or friend. Teachers come in many shapes and sizes, but what is it that makes one great? This book gives many answers to this question, from many sources. It includes quotes from famous thinkers, leaders and speakers, as well as letters from little known—yet highly insightful—students and teachers. You will find these comments fun, inspirational and even powerful! This tribute to and for teachers celebrates the special, and often heroic, role they play in their students' lives. Teachers work for love, not money. Yet they often receive too little reimbursement in the form of our gratitude. Teachers are Special is created as a simple way of saying "Thank you" to our most inspiring teachers. Offer it as a gift to a special educator, or read it to remind yourself of the value of learning.

The Story of Sarah Edmonds, a Civil War Hero

This fast-paced, high-energy picture book tells the true story of Sarah Emma Edmonds, who at age nineteen disguised herself as a man in order to fight in the Civil War. She took the name Frank Thompson and joined a Michigan army regiment to battle the Confederacy. Sarah excelled as a soldier and nurse on the battlefield. Because of her heroism, she was asked to become a spy. Her story comes to life through the signature illustrations and design of John Hendrix and the exciting storytelling of Marissa Moss. Praise for Nurse, Soldier, Spy "The incredible story of how Sarah Edmonds becomes Frank Thompson is full of adventure, bravado and pathos. Spirited pen-and-ink drawings, full of period detail and war action always focus on the intriguing Frank..." -San Francisco Chronicle "Readers won't stop until the last page of Marissa Moss' exciting Civil War story about Sarah Edmonds' life as a man in the Union Army. Vivid illustrations by artist John Hendrix match Moss' exciting account of Sarah's life in the Army." -Sacramento Bee "Hendrix's artwork is, as usual, a showstopper, and his bold caricatures convey Edmonds's strength and determination. Moss delivers a riveting narrative, making it clear that Edmonds was fighting for more than one kind of freedom." -Publishers Weekly, starred review "The focused view makes the book accessible for children. The pen-and-ink with acrylic wash illustrations are full of vibrant detail. Hendrix presents a meticulous view of military life, including army camp layouts and fortifications. Hand-drawn typography highlights important or humorous points in the text and adds even more visual interest." -School Library Journal "Hendrix's art emphasizes the horror and drama of war. Using hand-lettered text reminiscent of broadsides of the time, he visually shouts danger to the reader when tension is the highest." -Horn Book "In ink-and-wash illustrations, Hendrix again displays his knack for visual narrative. The aerial view of Edmonds approaching the Confederate camp is particularly effective. This large-format picture book illustrates Edmonds' courage and determination while conveying a good deal of information in a highly readable way." -Booklist "Admirable and enlightening. Moss is a lively prose writer, and Hendrix's illustrations inject humor into what is actually a serious subject." -The New York Times "Boldly illustrated. The text is full of interesting details. This book strikes a fine balance which conveys the horrors of the Civil War without portraying too much blood and violence for elementary readers. A very useful and researchable picture book." -Library Media Connection, starred review

From Preschool to High School--How Parents and Teachers Can Help Break the Cycle of Violence

Bestselling author and parenting educator Barbara Coloroso explains the phenomenon of bullying and the explosive proportions it has reached in our society, explaining what parents and other caregivers can do to recognise and help bullies and their victims before the violence becomes entrenched or tragically escalates.

Barbara Coloroso draws on her decades of work with youth, parents, and educators, to reveal the dynamics that give rise to bullying and what parents, schools, and communities can do to stop, heal, and prevent it. She reveals:

. the essential triad - the bully, the bullied, and the bystander - that allows bullying to happen;

. the difference between bullying and teasing;

. what to do if your child is the victim of a bully;

. what to do if your child bullies - how to mend and restore rather than isolate and punish the bully;

. how to defuse hostility and teach six steps for conflict resolution;

. a constructive alternative to zero tolerance.

How to Create Rigorous and Engaging Learning Experiences

It's no secret that in today's complex world, students face unparalleled demands as they prepare for college, careers, and active citizenship. However, those demands won't be met without a fundamental shift from traditional, teacher-centered instruction toward innovative, student-centered teaching and learning. For schools ready to make such a shift, project-based learning (PBL) offers a proven framework to help students be better equipped to tackle future challenges.

Project Based Teachers encourage active questioning, curiosity, and peer learning; create learning environments in which every student has a voice; and have a mastery of content but are also comfortable responding to students' questions by saying, ""I don't know. Let's find out together.""

In this book, Suzie Boss and John Larmer build on the framework for Gold Standard PBL originally presented in Setting the Standard for Project Based Learning and explore the seven practices integral to Project Based Teaching:
 * Build the Culture.
 * Design and Plan.
 * Align to Standards.
 * Manage Activities.
 * Assess Student Learning.
 * Scaffold Student Learning.
 * Engage and Coach.



For each practice, the authors present a wide range of practical strategies and include teachers' reflections about and suggestions from their classroom experiences.

This book and a related series of free videos provide a detailed look at what's happening in PBL classrooms from the perspective of the Project Based Teacher. Let's find out together.
