This ground-breaking book proves that Project Based Learning (PBL)
does work in early childhood classrooms. Most common understandings
of PBL in Pre-K through 2nd grade are rife with assumptions,
misconceptions, and perceived barriers that have prevented its
widespread implementation. Implementing Project Based Learning in
Early Childhood breaks down these barriers, offering teachers and
leaders at various stages of PBL implementation the tools,
resources, instructional strategies, and suggestions needed to
dispel the myths and discover the truth. Full of practical
approaches and strategies, chapters encourage you to consider your
current practices from new perspectives while "Reflect and Connect"
sections provide opportunities to think through your questions,
make connections to your current practices, and plan your next
steps. Educators will gain a deep understanding of PBL in early
childhood and build their confidence to engage all students in high
quality Project Based Learning from the beginning of the school
year to the end.

Many years ago 'henge monuments' were identified as a distinctive
kind of prehistoric monument but their interpretation still poses
problems. When were they first built and how long did they remain
important? How were they used and did their roles change during the
course of their history? The results of excavations at Broomend of
Crichie in Aberdeenshire, Pullyhour in Caithness and Migdale and
Lairg in Sutherland are brought together in a new account of the
henge monuments of Northern Britain, which places a special
emphasis on their distinctive character and their extended history.

How did a major nucleated settlement respond to the Roman conquest?
Occupation of Silchester (Calleva) after the Roman invasion of
south-east Britain in A.D. 43 shows remarkable continuity from the
pre-Roman Iron Age oppidum. Although the settlement was crossed by
strategic Roman roads, the network of lanes and compounds, crowded
with round and rectangular buildings, otherwise remained little
changed until c. A.D. 85. The contents of rubbish pits and wells
give remarkable insights into the diet, occupations, identity and
ritualistic behaviour of the inhabitants, while the richly varied
provenances of the pottery and other finds reveal the local,
regional and long-distance connections of the community. Although
there is clear evidence of investment in the town in the reign of
Nero, the pre-existing settlement was not swept away until the
Roman street grid was established c. A.D. 85. This volume follows
on from the publication of Late Iron Age Calleva, Britannia
Monograph 32 (2018)
This interdisciplinary edited collection brings together scholars,
activists, and policy makers to build consensus around what a
connected society means for Canada. The collection offers insight
on the state of citizenship in a digital context in Canada and
proposes a research and policy agenda for the way forward. Part I
examines the current landscape of digital civic participation and
highlights some of the missing voices required to ensure an
inclusive digital society. Part II explores the relationship
between citizens and their political and democratic institutions,
from government service delivery to academic and citizen engagement
in policy making. Part III addresses key legal frameworks that need
to be discussed and redesigned to allow for the building and
strengthening of an inclusive society and democratic institutions.
This is a foundational resource for policy makers, students, and
researchers interested in understanding citizenship in a digital
context in Canada. Published in English.

The late Iron Age oppidum of Calleva underlies the Roman town at
Silchester. Excavation (1997-2014) of a large area (0.3ha) of
Insula IX revealed evidence of a rectilinear, NE/SW-NW/SE-oriented
layout of the interior of the oppidum, dating from 20/10BC, with
the remains of the larger part of one compound separated from its
neighbours by fenced trackways. Within the compound was a large,
47.5m long hall surrounded by smaller, rectangular buildings
associated with groups of rubbish pits. A concluding discussion
characterises the oppidum, integrating and contextualising a series
of major contributions reporting the pre-conquest finds and
environmental evidence with the structural story.
Henry I, son of William the Conqueror, ruled from 1100 to 1135, a
time of fundamental change in the Anglo-Norman world. This
long-awaited biography, written by one of the most distinguished
medievalists of his generation, offers a major reassessment of
Henry's character and reign. Challenging the dark and dated
portrait of the king as brutal, greedy, and repressive, it argues
instead that Henry's rule was based on reason and order. C. Warren
Hollister points out that Henry laid the foundations for judicial
and financial institutions usually attributed to his grandson,
Henry II. Royal government was centralized and systematized,
leading to firm, stable, and peaceful rule for his subjects in both
England and Normandy. By mid-reign Henry I was the most powerful
king in Western Europe, and with astute diplomacy, an intelligence
network, and strategic marriages of his children (legitimate and
illegitimate), he was able to undermine the various coalitions
mounted against him. Henry strove throughout his reign to solidify
the Anglo-Norman dynasty, and his marriage linked the Normans to
the Old English line. Hollister vividly describes Henry's life and
reign, places them against the political background of the time,
and provides analytical studies of the king and his magnates, the
royal administration, and relations between king and church. The
resulting volume is one that will be welcomed by students and
general readers alike.
Characterising urban life, City in Transition is the second volume
reporting on the archaeology of the continuing excavation of
Silchester Insula IX, taking the story down to the early 2nd
century. In describing the evidence for the occupation of the 2nd
and 3rd centuries it follows on from Life and Labour in Late Roman
Silchester (2006), which published the late Roman occupation.
Geochemical and micromorphological analyses inform the
interpretation of the use of space within buildings and, together
with the study of an abundant material culture and environmental
record, provide a rich characterisation of the houses and their
occupants. The report sheds important light on the urban condition,
debating such themes as population density, status, occupation,
diet and domestic ritual.
Opening the Government of Canada presents a compelling case for a
more open model of governance in the digital age - but a model that
also continues to uphold democratic principles at the heart of the
Westminster system. Amanda Clarke details the untold story of the
federal bureaucracy's efforts to adapt to digital-age pressures
from the mid-2000s onward. This book reveals the mismatch between
the bureaucracy's closed government traditions and evolving citizen
expectations and digital tools. Striking a balance between reform
and tradition, lays out a roadmap for building a democratically
robust, digital-era federal government.

Through the Blinds is a poetic diary detailing the author's journey
after graduating college in Dallas, TX then moving back East, to
Burlington, VT. The author describes her stress from demanding
entry-level jobs as well as her search towards a more permanent

books, Looking at the Moon, Flying Fall, and Beautifully-Mixed Up
World. Welcome to the next chapter...
