In times of dramatic change, burn out, fear, and stress-the idea of
coming into each day with energy, let alone positivity, seems
impossible. However, Adam Markel has the tools to make it so. What
Adam discovered through his work with individuals and teams, is
that choosing to love and be grateful for one's life is critical to
staying resilient in business and life. The I LOVE MY LIFE
CHALLENGE is an active challenge against yourself, to make changes
for the better and push beyond the day to day struggles. In
addition to stories and prompts for promising change, this work
includes simple, repeatable 10-second actions that readers can use
personally and professionally to center themselves in the face of
change.
Indigenous Methodologies is a groundbreaking text. Since its
original publication in 2009, it has become the most trusted guide
used in the study of Indigenous methodologies and has been adopted
in university courses around the world. It provides a conceptual
framework for implementing Indigenous methodologies and serves as a
useful entry point for those wishing to learn more broadly about
Indigenous research. The second edition incorporates new literature
along with substantial updates, including a thorough discussion of
Indigenous theory and analysis, new chapters on community
partnership and capacity building, an added focus on oracy and
other forms of knowledge dissemination, and a renewed call to
decolonize the academy. The second edition also includes discussion
questions to enhance classroom interaction with the text. In a
field that continues to grow and evolve, and as universities and
researchers strive to learn and apply Indigenous-informed research,
this important new edition introduces readers to the principles and
practices of Indigenous methodologies.
Answering all of the key questions about the kindergarten
experience, this compact guide will give parents the confidence to
be the most effective, up-to-speed advocates as their child enters

can I work with teachers?" "What services and support will my child
need?" "What is an Individualized Education Program (IEP)?" In a
warm, parent-to-parent style, Margaret Oliver explains the
essentials of how the educational system is structured, how special
education laws are applied, and what current educational trends
mean for individual children. She also gives strategies to overcome
sensory, behavioral, social, emotional and communication
difficulties.
