Challenging behavior is one of the most significant issues
educators face. Though it may seem radical to use words like love,
compassion, and heart when we talk about behavior and discipline,
the compassionate and heartfelt words, actions, and strategies
teachers employ in the classroom directly shape who students
are-and who they will become. But how can teaching from the heart
translate into effective supports and practices for students who
exhibit challenging behavior? In From Behaving to Belonging, Julie
Causton and Kate MacLeod detail how teachers can shift from a
""behavior management"" mindset (that punishes students for ""bad""
behavior or rewards students for ""good"" or ""compliant""
behavior) to an approach that supports all students-even the most
challenging ones-with kindness, creativity, acceptance, and love.
Causton and MacLeod's approach: Focuses on students' strengths,
gifts, and talents. Ignites students' creativity and sense of
self-worth. Ensures that students' social, emotional, and academic
needs are met. Prompts teachers to rethink challenging behavior and
how they support their students. Helps teachers identify barriers
to student success in the cultural, social, and environmental
landscape. Inspires teachers to reconnect with their core values
and beliefs about students and teaching. We need to transform our
classrooms into places of love. To that end, this book represents a
paradigm shift from a punitive mindset to a strengths-based, loving
approach and encourages the radical act of creating more inclusive
and caring schools.

Community, together with an update by its current leader, Kathy
Galloway. "The Iona Community": "Today's Challenge, Tomorrow's

organisation's activities on the mainland. "Sermon in Stone" was
made during the 1960s and has not been widely available for some
time. It includes film from the archives of the Iona Community and
shows the reconstruction of Iona Abbey from the late 1930s until
the end of the 1960s. George Macleod, the founder of the community,
features prominently.

haunted by strange and disturbing visions that suggest otherwise.
As she follows the thread of these visions, Madi discovers a
terrifying monster waiting at the centre of the labyrinth-and it's

1940s comedy starring George Formby as a junior council employee
who gets caught up in a town planning dispute. There should be
unity and happiness in the small town of Tangleton - the war has
just been won and plans can be made to rebuild the town for a
better future. However, when the council tea boy, George Gribble
(Formby), is sent to conduct a survey on how the townspeople feel
about the council's proposed post-war 'improvements' he is
surprised to discover just how poor and unhappy the ordinary people
of Tangleton are. When the bigwigs on the council decide to bury
the survey and proceed with the plans anyway, George teams up with
an eccentric inventor, Sir Timothy Strawbridge (Robertson Hare),
and his charming daughter, Jane (Elizabeth Allan), to give a voice
to the town's poor and downtrodden.
