Too often, students who fail a grade or a course receive
remediation that ends up widening rather than closing achievement
gaps. According to veteran classroom teacher and educational
consultant Suzy Pepper Rollins, the true answer to supporting
struggling students lies in acceleration. In Learning in the Fast
Lane, she lays out a plan of action that teachers can use to
immediately move underperforming students in the right direction
and differentiate instruction for all learners-even those who excel
academically. This essential guide identifies eight high-impact,
research-based instructional approaches that will help you: Make
standards and learning goals explicit to students. Increase
students' vocabulary-a key to their academic success. Build
students' motivation and self-efficacy so that they become active,
optimistic participants in class. Provide rich, timely feedback
that enables students to improve when it counts. Address skill and
knowledge gaps within the context of new learning. Students deserve
no less than the most effective strategies available. These
hands-on, ready-to-implement practices will enable you to provide
all students with compelling, rigorous, and engaging learning
experiences.

Descriptive sounds of nature are portrayed musically on the
keyboard, in A-minor, with broken chord patterns, legato touch, and
lots of expression. The opening section has delicately twinkling
stars, while the middle section rises and falls dramatically,
depicting the wind, and the stars come out again to close the
piece.
In this incendiary new work, the controversial author and speaker
Peter Rollins proclaims that the Christian faith is not primarily
concerned with questions regarding life after death but with the
possibility of life "before "death.
In order to unearth this truth, Rollins prescribes a radical and
wholesale critique of contemporary Christianity that he calls
"pyro-theology. "It is only as we submit our spiritual practices,
religious rituals, and dogmatic affirmations to the flames of
fearless interrogation that we come into contact with the reality
that Christianity is in the business of transforming our world
rather than offering a way of interpreting or escaping it. Belief
in the Resurrection means but one thing: "Participation in an
Insurrection."
""What Pete does in this book is take you to the edge of a cliff
where you can see how high you are and how far you would fall if
you lost your footing. And just when most writers would kindly pull
you back from edge, he pushes you off, and you find yourself
without any solid footing, disoriented, and in a bit of a
panic...until you realize that your fall is in fact, a form of
flying. And it's thrilling."
--"Rob Bell, author of "Love Wins "and "Velvet Elvis
""
"While others labor to save the Church as they know it, Peter
Rollins takes an ax to the roots of the tree. Those who have
enjoyed its shade will want to stop him, but his strokes are so
clean and true that his motive soon becomes clear: this man trusts
the way of death and resurrection so much that he has become
fearless of religion."
"--Barbara Brown Taylor, author of "Leaving Church" and "An Altar
in the World"
""Rollins writes and thinks like a new Bonhoeffer, crucifying the
trappings of religion in order to lay bare a radical, religionless
and insurrectional Christianity. A brilliant new voice--an
activist, a storyteller and a theologian all in one--and not a
moment too soon."
"--John D. Caputo, Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion Emeritus,
Syracuse University
""What does it mean when the Son of God cries out, 'My God, My God,
why have you forsaken me'? Brilliantly, candidly, and faithfully,
Rollins wrestles here with that question. You may not agree with
his answers and conclusions, but you owe it to yourself and to the
Church at large to read what he says." "--Phyllis Tickle, author,
"The Great Emergence"
""Excellent thinking and excellent writing I hope this fine book
receives the broad reading it deserves. It will change lives, and
our understanding of what religion is all about "
"-- Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation; Albuquerque,
New Mexico
A gifted student foretells an apocalypse. Her reward is a sentence
of death. Fleeing into the unknown she is drawn into a team of
outcasts: A broken soldier, who once again takes up the weapons
he's forbidden to wield and carves a trail back home. A drunken
prince, who steps out from his beloved brother's shadow and claims
a purpose of his own. An imprisoned thief, who escapes the crushing
dark and discovers a gleaming artifact - one that will ignite a
power struggle across the globe. On the run, hunted by enemies old
and new, they must learn to trust each other in order to survive in
a world evolved in strange, beautiful, and deadly ways, and uncover
ancient secrets that hold the key to their salvation. But with each

In the latest riveting thriller from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author, an international research station in the Coral
Sea comes under siege during a geological disaster that triggers
massive quakes, deadly tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. To stop
the world from burning, it’s up to Sigma Force to uncover a
secret buried at the heart of our planet. The Titan
Project—an international research station off the coast of
Australia—discovers a thriving zone of life in an otherwise dead
sea. The area teems with a strange bioluminescent coral that defies
science, yet holds great promise for the future. But the loss of a
military submarine in the area triggers a brutal attack and sets in
motion a geological disaster that destabilizes an entire region.
Massive quakes, volcanic eruptions, and deadly tsunamis herald a
greater cataclysm to come—for something is stirring miles under
the ocean, a threat hidden for millennia. As seas turn toxic and
coastlines burn, can Sigma Force stop what has been let
loose—especially as an old adversary returns, hunting them and
thwarting their every move? For any hope of success, Commander Gray
Pierce must search for a key buried in the past, hidden deep in
Aboriginal mythology. But what Sigma could uncover is even more
frightening—something that will shake the very foundations of
humanity.

The second book in the New York Times bestselling Moonfall series
from thriller-master James Rollins, The Cradle of Ice is a
page-turning tale of action, adventure, betrayal, ambition, and the
struggle for survival in a harsh world that hangs by a thread. To
stop the coming apocalypse, a fellowship was formed. A soldier, a
thief, a lost prince, and a young girl bonded by fate and looming
disaster. Each step along this path has changed the party, forging
deep alliances and greater enmities. All the while, hostile forces
have hunted them, fearing what they might unleash. Armies wage war
around them. For each step has come with a cost--in blood, in loss,
in heartbreak. Now, they must split, traveling into a vast region
of ice and to a sprawling capital of the world they've only known
in stories. Time is running out and only the truth will save us
all. The Moonfall Series: The Starless Crown The Cradle of Ice
Carmarthenshire is the largest of the old Welsh counties and
nestles between Pembrokeshire and the Gower Peninsula in the heart
of South West Wales. Its a land of contrasts; along the coast
you'll walk close to the airy edge of tall cliffs, but there are
beaches too, some so long you can't see an end to them. And
sheltered estuaries, like the heron-priested shores at Laugharne
that inspired the poet Dylan Thomas. Inland there are tucked-away
valleys and castle-topped hills, open moorland, and ancient
woodland that is fizzing with life.

Winner of the 2022 Book Award of the Philosophy of Education
Society of Australasia, Gareth B. Matthews, The Child's Philosopher
brings together groundbreaking essays by renowned American
philosopher Gareth B. Matthews in three fields he helped to
initiate: philosophy in children's literature, philosophy for
children, and philosophy of childhood. In addition, contemporary
scholars critically assess Matthews' pioneering efforts and his
legacy. Gareth B. Matthews (1929-2011) was a specialist in ancient
and medieval philosophy who had conversations with young children,
discovering that they delight in philosophical puzzlement and that
their philosophical thinking often enriched his own understanding.
Those conversations became the impetus for a substantial component
of Matthews' scholarship, from which this book features essays
spanning the length of his career. Contemporary contributors to the
book critically evaluate Matthews' scholarship, showing where he
broke new ground and identifying developments and debates in the
fields he helped to initiate. They take up pressing challenges,
including biased idealizations of childhood in children's
literature; the tensions between teaching philosophy to, and doing
philosophy with young people; the merits of theorizing childhood
without theorizing children; and how professional philosophy at
once desires and resists a return to childhood. This second volume
in the Philosophy for Children Founders series is an important
resource for philosophers, educators, and anyone interested in
children's philosophical thinking, developmental psychology, what
it means to philosophize with children, the nature of childhood,
and how children's literature goes philosophical. It will guide and
inspire those who share Matthews' conviction that the impulse to
philosophize begins in early childhood. Contributors (in addition
to Gareth B. Matthews): Stephanie Burdick-Shepherd, Cristina
Cammarano, Claire Cassidy, Stanley Cavell, Maughn Rollins Gregory,
Jennifer Glaser, Walter Omar Kohan, Megan Jane Laverty, Jana Mohr
Lone, Karin Murris, Peter Shea, Susan M. Turner, Susannah Sheffer.
First published in 2002. This is volume VI of twenty-two in a
series of 20th Century Philosophy focuses on contemporary
philosophy in Australia that was dominated by the schools of Sydney
and Melbourne and the works of John Anderson.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, the latest
riveting, deeply imaginative thriller in the Sigma Force series,
told with his trademark blend of cutting-edge science, historical
mystery, and pulse-pounding action. It begins in Africa . . . A
United Nations relief team in a small village in the Congo makes an
alarming discovery. An unknown force is leveling the evolutionary
playing field. Men, women, and children have been reduced to a
dull, catatonic state. The environment surrounding them-plants and
animals-has grown more cunning and predatory, evolving at an
exponential pace. The insidious phenomenon is spreading from a
cursed site in the jungle - known to locals as the Kingdom of Bones
-and sweeping across Africa, threatening the rest of the world.
What has made the biosphere run amok? Is it a natural event? Or
more terrifyingly, did someone engineer it? Commander Gray Pierce
and Sigma Force are prepared for the extraordinary and have kept
the world safe, vigilance for which they have paid a tragic
personal price. Yet, even these brilliant and seasoned scientific
warriors do not understand what is behind this frightening
development-or know how to stop it. As they race to find answers,
the members of Sigma quickly realize they have become the prey. To
head off global catastrophe, Sigma Force must risk their lives to
uncover the shattering secret at the heart of the African
continent-a truth that will illuminate who we are as a species and
where we may be headed . . . sooner than we know. Mother Nature-red
in tooth and claw-is turning against humankind, propelling the
entire world into the Kingdom of Bones.
