Paperback. Condition: Very Good. After years of applying more pressure on schools to raise achievement levels for all students, particularly those who underperform their mainstream peers, the achievement gap today remains virtually unchanged. But the reality is that there's proof that, under the right conditions, all students can achieve at high levels. Instead of quick-fix reforms that promise miracles but deliver little, here's a book that delves into the research to provide you with realistic solutions for catching up children in danger of failing and dropping out. Two giants in the fields of education, psychology, and equity--A. Wade Boykin and Pedro Noguera--reveal bold truths about the achievement gap, including: Why it's a mistake to explain and rationalize the persistence of the achievement gap on the basis of a single influence, such as poverty, family background, or culture. What is wrong with popular approaches to closing the achievement gap. Why it is critical to focus on the assets that each student brings to the classroom, rather than on the perceived deficiencies. Why pluralizing the cultural conditions in schools increases the possibility that a greater number of students--from a wider range of backgrounds--will learn. Drawing from the evidence from successful schools, this definitive text provides you with a promising framework for addressing the key actions that need to be replicated in schools everywhere, such as: Promoting and enhancing student engagement in learning and addressing avoidance behaviors. Raising the levels of three key personal behaviors: self-efficacy, self-regulated learning, and incremental ability beliefs about intelligence. Cultivating constructive classroom dynamics and transactions such as positive teacher student relationships and collaborative learning. Here's your opportunity to understand why some school districts are making more progress than others, to make sure you're focused on what really works, and to build the capacity of high-performance, high-poverty schools.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A Cold Civil War has engulfed the nation. After a deadly pandemic, shocking incidents of police brutality, a racial justice crisis, and the fall of a dangerous demagogue, America remains more divided than at any time in decades. At the heart of this national crisis is the fear of a darkening America-a country in which there is no longer a predominant white majority. As the Republican Party has lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections, its leaders have incited white Americans in a last-ditch race against time to stop the advance of a new, multiracial emerging majority. Keith Boykin, long time political commentator, has watched this white resentment consume the GOP over the course of a life in politics, activism, and journalism. He has also observed the divisions among Democrats, as white progressives have postponed demands for full racial equity, while Black voters have often been too forgiving of party leaders who have failed to deliver. America can no longer avoid its long overdue reckoning with the past, Boykin argues. With the familiarity of personal experience and the acuity of historical insight, Boykin urges us to fight racism, sexism, xenophobia, and homophobia, and save the union, not just by making Black lives matter, but by making Black lives equal.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Given the all-out assault on the American male in today's society, Man to Man delivers biblical solutions to make American men strong again. Masculinity in America has never been under attack the way it is today. We have reached the point where the term itself is considered toxic or offensive to many. American men are conflicted as to what their role is in society. The consistent message that has proliferated in our nation is that masculinity, by nature, is bad and is the root cause of many of the problems plaguing our society. Everything from racism to pedophilia has been blamed on "toxic masculinity." Some colleges and universities are now offering classes on how to overcome or be delivered from this very "threatening" phenomenon called "masculinity." If men take up biblical mandates ordained by their Creator--no matter their color, nationality, station, upbringing, or education--a new vision can be cast and executed that will restore a civil and prosperous America for all.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Calling for a radical stepping out of the empty trappings of post-modernity, Sanders confronts the illusory state of the black world by challenging it to analyse and redefine itself in light of certain relevant truths. His prophetic critique takes a fresh perspective on the oppression of black people throughout the world, arguing that the blame lies not with white people, but with black people for choosing the routes of integration and neo-colonialism, and invites people of African descent to recover the meaning of their past as an alternative source of value.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. LIFE IS A BATTLE, AND WE ARE ALL SOLDIERS. We may not wear a uniform, eat in a mess hall, or dodge actual bullets for a living, but we are in a war--a very crucial one.  Just walk into any room of people and you'll find immeasurable pain and wounds.  On the outside we wear our camouflage well, but on the inside, deep within our own souls, we realize life is conflict.  It is traceable to a single source:  Satan, the adversary of our souls.   Written by two US Army Green Berets, The Warrior's Soul provides a guide for how to apply the techniques of a true warrior in the spiritual realm by emphasizing five core elements: A cause greater than self--why we fight A settled memory--the link between history and current circumstances A personal intensity--eager for challenges and undistracted by personal issues An unflagging optimism--an absolute commitment to never surrender A deep camaraderie--a personal commitment to fellow warriors   True warriors are willing to stand when others bow.  With this first-rate preparation for spiritual battle you can stand strong and see victory. …
