Combatives for Street Survival

Leading the reader through simple yet powerful, brutally effective methods of self-defense designed for use in myriad street crime scenarios, this guide explains the use of force continuum and teaches how to efficiently avoid potentially violent encounters though the use of “pre-incident indicators.” The techniques depicted are credible, relevant, practicable, and utilized by members of elite military units and U.S. government personnel traveling abroad to high-risk areas of operation. The philosophy of “less is more” results in a succinct system of self-defense that is drawn from the author’s experiences as well as the collective experience of his students around the world.

Write Beside Them: Risk, Voice, and Clarity in High School Writing

Posted by admin on March 14, 2012 Comments Off

Write Beside Them: Risk, Voice, and Clarity in High School Writing

Please join us in congratulating Penny Kittle for her 2009 NCTE Britton Award for Write Beside Them!

This book is about teaching writing and the gritty particulars of teaching adolescents. But it is also the planning, the thinking, the writing, the journey: all I’ve been putting into my teaching for the last two decades. This is the book I wanted when I was first given ninth graders and a list of novels to teach. This is a book of vision and hope and joy, but it is also a book of genre units and minilessons and actual conferences with students.

-Penny Kittle
What makes the single biggest difference to student writers? When the invisible machinery of your writing processes is made visible to them. Write Beside Them shows you how to do it. It’s the comprehensive book and DVD that English/language arts teachers need to ensure that teens improve their writing.
Across genres, Penny Kittle presents a flexible framework for instruction, the theory and experience to back it up, and detailed teaching information to help you implement it right away. Each section of Write Beside Them describes a specific element of Kittle’s workshop:
  • Daily writing practice: writer’s notebooks and quick writes
  • Instructional frameworks: minilessons, organization, conferring, and sharing drafts
  • Genre work: narrative, persuasion, and writing in multiple genres
  • Skills work: grammar, punctuation, and style
  • Assessment: evaluation, feedback, portfolios, and grading.
All along the way, Kittle demonstrates minilessons that respond to students’ immediate needs, and her Student Focus sections profile and spotlight how individual writers grew and changed over the course of her workshop. In addition, Write Beside Them provides a study guide, reproducibles, writing samples from Penny and her students, suggestions for nurturing your own writing life, and a helpful FAQ. Best of all, the accompanying DVD takes you right inside Penny’s classroom. Its video clips explicitly model how to make the process of writing accessible to all kids.
Penny Kittle’s active coaching and can-do attitude alone will energize your teaching and inspire you to write with your students. But her strategies, expert advice, and compelling in-class video footage will help you turn inspiration into great teaching. Read Write Beside Them and discover that the most important influence for all young writers is their teacher.
Write Beside Them debuts as the field’s most comprehensive, contemporary, and practical book on high school writing. Kittle not only tells how a skillful writing teacher operates, she shows you on the accompanying DVD, with clips of kids at work in every stage of a writing workshop. And all this glorious teaching happens with real, sometimes struggling kids who remind us of our own classrooms and students. Write Beside Them is the whole package.

The reading selections by the FRM Committee are representative of the theory and concepts used by practicing risk management professionals. The FRM Committee, which oversees the selection of reading materials for the FRM(r) Exam, suggests these readings for those registered for the FRM(r) Exam and any other risk professional interested in the “mission critical” knowledge essential to their profession.

In addition to these readings, GARP also recommends the most current edition of the Financial Risk Manager Handbook, by Philippe Jorion, for those taking the FRM(r) Exam.

Posted by admin on December 26, 2011 Comments Off

The Glengarry Collection, Volume 1 Book/DVD Set The Highland Fiddle Music of Aonghas Grant
The Glengarry Collection contains 164 Slow Airs, Marches, Strathspeys, Reels, Jigs and Hornpipes with Stories, History and Photographs. It focuses on the core of Aonghas’ music: Highland fiddling, with its links to pipe tunes and Gaelic songs. Some of these tunes have never been published before, while others are available only in out-of-print books or in pipe settings, and the collection also includes a number of tunes composed by Aonghas himself, and tunes composed in honor of Aonghas. The tunes are fully chorded in a style appropriate to Aonghas’ band experience. All these are richly illustrated by transcriptions of Aonghas’ bowings, grace-notes, stories, and photos of scenes and people from Aonghas’ varied life careers, including old family photos. Finally, there is an accompanying DVD with videos of Aonghas’ impromptu and passionate performances of 61 of the tunes in the collection.

Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk

Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk

What is actually happening on college campuses in the years between admission and graduation?

Not enough to keep America competitive, and not enough to provide our citizens with fulfilling lives.

When A Nation at Risk called attention to the problems of our public schools in 1983, that landmark report provided a convenient “cover” for higher education, inadvertently implying that all was well on America’s campuses.

Declining by Degrees blows higher education’s cover. It asks tough–and long overdue–questions about our colleges and universities. In candid, coherent, and ultimately provocative ways, Declining by Degrees reveals:
- how students are being short-changed by lowered academic expectations and standards;
-why many universities focus on research instead of teaching and spend more on recruiting and athletics than on salaries for professors;
-why students are disillusioned;
-how administrations are obsessed with rankings in news magazines rather than the quality of learning;
-why the media ignore the often catastrophic results; and
-how many professors and students have an unspoken “non-aggression pact” when it comes to academic effort.

Declining by Degrees argues persuasively that the multi-billion dollar enterprise of higher education has gone astray. At the same time, these essays offer specific prescriptions for change, warning that our nation is in fact at greater risk if we do nothing.
