In There with the Kids
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 26.95 (USD)
The best teachers, says David Kobrin, think about who their students are and how they learn. In this age of standardized tests and “teacher-proof” lesson plans, they recognize that teaching is a rich and complex activity that demands professional skill, sound judgment, and quick thinking.This second edition of In There with the Kids presents the parallel working lives of two teachers, elementary teacher Hilary Coles and high school teacher Mel Stainko. We see these teachers (composites drawn from the author’s experience and observations in schools) as they plan lessons, interact with students, reflect on what happens in the classroom, and try always to do better. Through them we are prompted to think carefully about why some lessons work and others don’t.Kobrin brings us into the classroom, where we hear the voices of individual students and see how their concerns influence what happens each day. He provides detailed reconstructions of student debates and includes the handouts, exams, and assessment instructions used for selected lessons. At the close of each chapter, he analyzes the characters' actions, the motives behind them, and their effects on events in the classroom.Both practical and inspiring, In There with the Kids demonstrates that by tailoring lessons to students' life experiences, teachers can help students reach new levels of achievement.

Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 11.95 (USD)
Mark Twain once said, “No man can reach Heaven by another man’s road.” Kids must find their own way.  That is so difficult for parents to realize. We think we know exactly what kids should do and work so hard to make it happen the way we see it. We hover over, protect too much, give help when it is not needed, and order about. We work so hard at being the perfect parent that we cheat our kids in the process. We need to relax, set a good example, be there for support and provide good choices. The only way children can grow into healthy, productive, independent adults is to learn through their own mistakes. How to help them do that safely and how to make it easier and more fun to be a proud parent is what this book is all about. Whether you are a parent or grandparent, it is just plain fun to read ‘Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit,’ with its bright and sparkling little true stories, fractured fairy tales, fables and parables.  Here is the full review from “Reader Views” contest, where Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit won its first award: ‘R.W. Klamm is a man who is filled with humor, wisdom and insight. His ultimate goal with this book is to let parents know that we can make mistakes with raising our children, but not all is lost. We learn from our mistakes. He reminds us that parenting is not always about the desires of the parent(s) (materialistic) but of raising children who are independent, good problem-solvers and emotionally stable. Klamm starts his book by stating the obvious-- if you want to raise healthy, well-rounded children; you need to relook at your parenting style and relationship with your children. He gives the reader basic principles on raising children. These are not anything new to parents, but are things we sometimes forget. Through humorous stories, poetry and real-life examples, Klamm discusses peer pressure, sex, problem-solving and many other subjects that we as parents will encounter when we become parents. All of the stories in “Outfox the Kids for Fun and Profit” are interesting to read and have humor, but the undertone is one of providing guidance and problem-solving skills. It is filled with words of wisdom.’

Kids Talk
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 45.00 (USD)
Between early childhood and adulthood, language acquisition is succeeded by a bloom of repertoire for managing interaction, a growing sensitivity to the relation of language and society, an expanding ability to wield power through the strategic use of language, and an increasing sophistication in framing speech activities. This book examines a wide range of language practices among school-age children and teenagers, using data from naturally occurring recorded talk and from careful observation of interaction in peer groups. The contributors analyze talk at play, at school, and at work, documenting the growing communicative skills of young people while always focusing on what young speakers themselves do with (and through) language. Theoretical constructs to which the contributors appeal include Goffman's notion of footing and Hymes' communicative competence, as well as multiple characterizations of discourse structure. The chapters show older children as strategic language users, dynamic actors who are often concerned with defining themselves as a distinctive group, different from adults, yet who just as often display proficiency at sophisticated discourse activities that presage those of adulthood.

The Civil Rights Movement for Kids
Available at eBooks.com for only $ 11.95 (USD)
Surprisingly, kids were some of the key instigators in the Civil Rights Movement, like Barbara Johns, who held a rally in her elementary school gym that eventually led to the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court school desegregation decision, and six-year-old Ruby Bridges, who was the first black student to desegregate elementary schools in New Orleans. In The Civil Rights Movement for Kids, children will discover how students and religious leaders worked together to demand the protection of civil rights for black Americans. They will relive the fear and uncertainty of Freedom Summer and learn how northern white college students helped bring national attention to atrocities committed in the name of segregation, and they’ll be inspired by the speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr., Medgar Evers, and Malcolm X. Activities include: reenacting a lunch counter sit-in; organizing a workshop on nonviolence; holding a freedom film festival followed by a discussion; and organizing a choral group to sing the songs that motivated the foot soldiers in this war for rights.

Available at eBooks.com for only $ 24.95 (USD)
Journalist Joe Williams shows how parents can use consumer power to put children first, shining light on the special interests controlling our schools, where politics and pork infuse everything and our children's education is compromised, . He argues that increased accountability and choice are necessary, and shows how the people can take back the education system, enhancing responsibility inherent in democracy. The solution is a new brand of hardball politics that demands competence from school leaders and shifts the power away from bureaucrats and union leaders to the people who have a the greatest reason to put kids first: concerned parents. With practical steps and uplifting examples of success, this is a manifesto to action.
