College and career readiness is essential to promoting the success
of all students. Educational and economic changes in today's
society demands well thought out strategies for preparing students
to survive academically, socially, and financially in the future.
African American students are at a disadvantage in this strategic
planning process due to a long history of racism, injustice, and
marginalization. African American Students' Career and College
Readiness: The Journey Unraveled explores the historical, legal,
and socio-political issues of education affecting African American
students and their career and college readiness. Each chapter has
been written based on the authors' experience and passion for the
success of students in the African American population. Some of the
chapters will appear to be written in a more conversational and
idiomatic tone, whereas others are presented in a more erudite
format. Each chapter, however, presents a contextual portrayal of
the contemporary, and often dysfunctional, pattern of society's
approach to supporting this population. Contributors also present
progressive paradigms for future achievements. Through the pages of
this book, readers will understand and hopefully appreciate what
can be done to promote positive college bound self-efficacy,
procurement of resources in the high school to college transition,
exposure and access to college possibilities, and implications for
practice in school counseling, education leadership, and higher
education.

THE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING HOW YOUR BODY WORKS This extraordinary
yet simple training provides the information ballroom dance
teachers and students have been searching for. Great dancers have
an inner sense as to how to stand tall, maintain their frames, stay
in balance, swing, sway, and express themselves---making it seem
like magic. But each movement we are asked to do in ballroom
dancing requires a specific, anatomical action to produce beautiful
dancing. Move Like a Champion provides a method of learning and
teaching these essentials. Diane Jarmolow, Kasia Kozak, and Brandee
Selck have combined their years of experience in dancing, teaching,
and studying body movement to create this revolutionary program. It
is accessible to all ballroom dancers, using simple exercises with
fun names such as: 1. Anchors Away (how the shoulder blades work to
maintain your frame) 2. Get a Leg Up (how the leg swings to create
movement) 3. Barbie Feet (how to stand on the foot for balanced
rise)
World of Bugs Backyard Guide shows you how bugs blend in, where
they like to hide, which bugs you may find and which bugs to stay
away from. These colorful pages are a window into the tiny alien
world of bugs that is all around us. Take a closer look and you
will see, how amazing this little world can be.
