A field-tested, classroom-based approach for developing the
critical thinking, social-emotional, problem-solving, and
discussion skills students need to be good citizens and effective
changemakers. We often hear that a key purpose of schooling is to
prepare students for informed and active citizenship. But what does
this look like in practice? How do teachers pursue this goal amid
other pressing priorities, including student mastery of both
academic content and social-emotional competencies? Students Taking
Action Together, based on a program of the same name developed at
Rutgers University, clarifies that the way to prepare young people
for life in a democracy is by intentionally rehearsing democratic
behaviors in the classroom. This field-tested program ("STAT" for
short) is built on five research-backed teaching strategies that
work with existing social studies, English language arts, and
history curriculum in the upper-elementary, middle, and high school
levels. Incorporating these strategies into your lessons is a way
to meet students' natural desire to be heard with skill-building
that empowers them to Adhere to norms of civil conversation, even
when topics are controversial and emotions are high; Speak
confidently and listen actively; Engage in respectful debate aimed
at understanding issues rather than winning points; Target
communication to different audiences, needs, and contexts; and
Examine problems from many sides, considering potential solutions,
drawing up action plans, and evaluating these plans' effectiveness
against historical examples. In addition to vignettes that show the
five STAT strategies in action, you'll find practical teaching tips
and sample STAT lesson plans. For school leaders, there is a road
map for schoolwide STAT implementation and guidance on
communicating the program's value to stakeholders. Are you ready to
help students understand complex content, confront pressing social
issues, and engage with the structures of power to advocate for
change? This book is for you.
I felt very still and empty, the way the eye of a tornado must
feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding

novel offers an intimate, honest and often wrenching glimpse into

and reality and helped cement Sylvia Plath's place as an enduring
feminist icon. Celebrated for its darkly humorous, razor sharp
portrait of 1950s society, it continues to resonate with readers
today as testament to the universal human struggle to claim one's
rightful place in the world. A special illustrated edition - the
second book in our collection of illustrated Faber classics.

OUCH! My Tummy Hurts is intended to help inform children about the
medical world. It is the first book in the 'To the Doctors' series
that tells the tale of fictional characters going to the doctors to
get their aches, pains or their problem seen to by a doctor. In
this story, avid football player Oliver Price has a mysterious
tummy ache and loss of appetite. This book follows him 'to the
doctors' and throughout his medical journey towards making a full
recovery from his diagnosis... The aim of this series is to
dissolve children's fears and help educate them on medical problems
including, but not limited to, disabilities, injuries and
procedures. It aims to target curious kids, patients and perhaps
even aspiring doctors. Of course, this series is not a substitute
for medical advice and parents should always take medical concerns
to healthcare professionals. This series will simply outline the
process of dealing with medical issues in a child-friendly story
format to help 'establish the unestablished' for children who may
be fearful of the unknown and to even inspire children to go into a
medical profession. This book in particular focuses on Oliver, an
avid football player, and his mysterious tummy ache...

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Cole Sprouse (Riverdale's Jughead) and Haley Lu Richardson (The Edge of Seventeen)!
In this moving story that’s perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, two teens fall in love with just one minor complication - they can’t get within a few feet of each other without risking their lives. Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control - even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
