  Someday, your life story is likely to be boiled down to a few lines. If you leave things to chance, your obituary is almost sure to be solemn, formulaic, and full of errors—an obligatory final chapter written in haste by others. James R. Hagerty, longtime obit writer for The Wall Street Journal, knows how to get the job done right: Do it yourself, starting now, while you still can. 
   
   
   
  In this heartfelt and reassuring guide, Hagerty explains how to preserve your personal history—from crafting a brief obituary for newspapers and websites, to a more thoughtful and detailed mini-memoir for those close to you. Through his personal stories, on-the-job anecdotes, and insights, you will learn what to include, what to leave out, and how to provide historical context, record oral histories, and make the most of details, all with candor and wit. Best of all, you'll find that reviewing your life story helps you think about what you're doing with your time on Earth and whether you're on the right path. It isn't too late to improve the narrative with a stronger ending. 
   
   
   
  Telling your story your way can be the best gift you ever give to friends and loved ones—and yourself.

  Critical Thinking in a Nutshell...

  Clear thinking isn't a talent you're born with. It's a small set of skills, and they can be learned faster than you think.
   
  You second-guess important choices long after you've made them. In a flood of headlines and confident opinions, you struggle to tell what's actually true from what merely sounds true. And a quiet feeling won't leave you: that your mind is capable of far more than the small, draining tasks that fill your days.
   
  Maybe you have great ideas but rarely the time or energy to follow through, so you settle for the safe plan that changes nothing and satisfies no one. That dissatisfaction is a signal, not a flaw.
   
  Learning how to think critically is the difference between reacting and truly deciding. In this audiobook, you'll discover:
  
  What critical thinking actually is - traced back to the death of Socrates and what it still teaches us.
  A proven framework to think with - the Paul-Elder model, built to bring order to any messy problem.
  The levels of deeper thought - how Bloom's Taxonomy moves you from simply knowing to genuinely evaluating.
  The traits that set clear thinkers apart - truth-seeking, systematic, and analytical habits you can build.
  How to apply it to real life - putting the frameworks to work on decisions as personal as your own health.
  Action steps that stick - concrete practice at the close of each chapter, not just theory.
  How to challenge the status quo - the courage to question the plan everyone else accepts.
  
   
  This matters well beyond your own head. In a major survey of American business leaders, 93% agreed that the capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems counts for more than a candidate's undergraduate major.
   
  You don't need a philosophy background or a naturally logical mind to begin. Start with one framework, practice it on a real decision, and watch your thinking grow sharper by the week.

  Districts That Succeed -...

  In Districts That Succeed, long-time education writer Karin Chenoweth turns her attention from effective schools to effective districts. Leveraging new, cutting-edge national research on district performance as well as in-depth reporting, Chenoweth profiles five districts that have successfully broken the correlation between race, poverty, and achievement. 
   
   
   
  Focusing on high performing or rapidly improving districts that serve children of color and children from low-income backgrounds, the book explores the common elements that have led to the districts' successes. Districts That Succeed reveals that helping more students achieve is not a matter of adopting a program or practice. Rather, it requires developing a district-wide culture where all adults feel responsible for the academic well-being of students and adopt systems and processes that support that culture. Chenoweth explores how districts have organized themselves to look at data to guide improvement. Her research highlights the essential role of districts in closing achievement gaps and illustrates how successful outliers can serve as resources for other districts. 
   
   
   
  With important lessons for district leaders and policy makers, Chenoweth offers the hard-won wisdom of educators who understand the power of schools to, as one superintendent says, "change the path of poverty."

  Letter to James C Conkling

  During the Civil War, Union supporters in President Abraham Lincoln's hometown of Springfield, Illinois, asked him to speak at a rally on September 3, 1863. Lincoln could not attend but wrote this letter to be read at the gathering by his long-time friend, James C. Conkling. The letter was accompanied by a brief note which read, "I cannot leave here now. Herewith is a letter instead. You are one of the best public readers. I have but one suggestion. Read it very slowly. And now God bless you, and all good Union-men." Shortly after the rally, John Murray Forbes wrote to Lincoln, referring to the letter and the Emancipation Proclamation issued on January 1, 1863. Forbes declared that the letter "will live in history side by side with your proclamation." He noted, "It meets the fears of the timid and the doubts of the reformer. It proves that the Proclamation and the policy resulting from it are the most conservative, both of liberty and of our form of government."
