    We are told the money managers on Wall Street who spend all day checking every stock price movement, every CEO tweet, and every company filing footnote have an edge in the stock market...

    Award-winning Indigenous author Harold R. Johnson discusses the promise and potential of storytelling. 
    Approached by an ecumenical society representing many faiths, from Judeo-Christians to fellow members of First Nations, Harold R. Johnson agreed to host a group who wanted to hear him speak about the power of storytelling. This book is the outcome of that gathering. In The Power of Story, Johnson explains the role of storytelling in every aspect of human life, from personal identity to history and the social contracts that structure our societies, and illustrates how we can direct its potential to re-create and reform not only our own lives, but the life we share. Companionable, clear-eyed, and, above all, optimistic, Johnson’s message is both a dire warning and a direct invitation to each of us to imagine and create, together, the world we want to live in.

    If teachers want an inclusive, engaging classroom, they must learn their students' names. Sound advice, but rarely does it come with practical guidance—which is precisely what this book offers. Eschewing the random tips and mnemonic tricks that invariably fall short, Michelle D. Miller offers teachers a clear explanation of what is really going on when we learn a name, and a science-based approach for using this knowledge to pedagogical advantage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a background in the psychology of language and memory, Miller gives a lively overview of the surprising science of learning proper names, along with an account of why the practice is at once so difficult and yet so critical to effective teaching. She then sets out practical techniques for learning names. In her discussion of certain factors that can make learning names especially challenging, Miller pays particular attention to neurodivergence and the effects of aging on this form of memory. A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names lays out strategies for putting these techniques into practice, suggests technological aids and other useful resources, and explains how to make name learning a core aspect of one's teaching practice. 
     
     
     
    This concise guide provides teachers of all disciplines and levels an invaluable tool for creating a welcoming and productive learning environment.

  • MAX YOUR LEADERSHIP! - Unlock Your Leadership Abilities With Timeless Lessons From Gettysburg - cover

    MAX YOUR LEADERSHIP! - Unlock...

    The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to 3, 1863, is the ideal template for recognizing and maximizing your leadership abilities. 
    This pivotal event, the most written-about in American history, offers a rich narrative, emotional insights, and complex strategies that make it an unparalleled resource for understanding leadership. 
    Here’s why Gettysburg stands out and why citing other historical events for our purpose would be unnecessarily redundant. Perhaps surprisingly, this isn’t a history book. Instead, it’s a powerful guide that harnesses the lessons from a significant historical event to illuminate vital life principles. This book not only enhances your leadership skills but also demonstrates how understanding human nature can turn to your advantage. 
    The author offers a groundbreaking approach to history - one that moves beyond mere facts and statistics to use historical insights and challenging questions as a catalyst for your personal growth. In a paraphrase of historian John Toland, he wisely suggests, “History doesn’t repeat itself, human nature does.” 
    Embrace this novel perspective and let the lessons from Gettysburg energize your life’s journey.
