can I improve the quality of relationships in the classroom? These
are the two fundamental questions which Human Relations in
Education sets out to answer - in a way that will appeal to all
those concerned with education. Eric and Carol Hall examine issues
such as self-concept, social and emotional learning, the dynamics
of the staffroom and the classroom, as well as stress management
and relaxation. They demonstrate how these affect human relations
in schools and colleges. Interpersonal communications and
counselling skills are then examined in terms of language, imagery

practical exercises, Human Relations in Education is essential
reading for both experienced teachers and teachers in training.

In the past several years, a revival of research devoted to nursing
education has emerged. This emergence has changed the way many
educators engage in their practice of working with learners; and
learners have come to expect that they will have a rich learning
experience designed to develop new (or enhance prior) knowledge,
skills, and attitudes. The SAGE Handbook of Nursing Education
provides a detailed map of the current discipline, with a carefully
selected team of international contributors offering the latest
thinking about education in nursing across key areas. This handbook
will be a key resource for academic educators, as well as graduate
and postgraduate learners.

The Days Are as Grass is a full-length performance consisting of
eight short plays by Carol Hall. They were written to be performed
by two actors, one man and one woman. However, they can also be
performed by a larger cast. The actors portray more than a dozen
characters ranging in age from 40 to 85, exploring the fragility of
hope, memory, old friends, lost loves, and the inevitability of
time. The tone is always a blend of the funny and the touching, as
the characters march bravely into that last colorful sunset, still
fully engaged by life's changes, love's quirks, and the surprises
of age. The short plays are written to be performed as a single
evening. They include: "Vacation" - A married couple enjoying a
relaxing weekend, become obsessed with a couple traveling nearby
who are clearly having an illicit affair. "Last Will and Testament"
- A well meaning socialite tries to write her will, so that after
her death all her friends and loved ones can receive a "small
memento," but she finds that "details of your own mortality can be
exhausting. And I'm sure death is no picnic either." "Life Time" -
A couple has been together so long they barely need words to
express themselves. "Memory loss is the best thing that ever
happened to me. Saves time. Saves effort." "Sensations" - A
bickering couple sit in twin rockers in matching robes and slippers
and wait for the pills they've secretly saved up to take effect and
end their lives - but did they do it correctly? And if not, whose
fault is that, anyway? "The River Jordan Lamp" - A woman living
alone in a trailer park makes an unusual connection with a young
migrant worker - and eventually sees the light, or the absence of
one, as she pays for what she calls her "sin of the flesh." "Jack
and Jill" - A brother and sister in their mid-forties, hilariously
try to come to terms with the idea of their divorced parents
getting back together after 35 years. "The Days Are as Grass"
(title piece) - A younger man and older woman have an argument
about what happened to their affair, while literary quotes still
appear to bind them affectionately. "The Last Word" - A husband
chatters away as he pushes the wheelchair of his mute and paralyzed
wife, while we are able to hear everything she's thinking.

monologue and poetry require almost no set and only one piano. Done
in a theatre or church sanctuary, To Whom It May Concern is perfect
for all church and theatre groups, especially those with access to
glorious voices.

May Concern for years to come."-- N.Y. Times.

until the house lights come up!"-- A.P.

Drawing upon a range of practical and theoretical knowledge, the
authors explore all aspects of the leadership role. Professional
development, collaboration and self-knowledge are at the centre of
their approach, in the belief that people prefer to be led rather
than to be managed and that leadership applies equally to the work
of classroom teachers, as well as to the head. The purposes and
processes of leading and managing primary schools, like processes
of teaching and learning are complex. They defy generalized
prescriptions, easy analysis and simplistic solutions. In this book
the authors explore the intricate processes involved in helping
people to be, and to perform, at their best, believing that
excellent leaders are judged not only by outcomes, but also by the
quality of their vision, their relationships, plans and policies
and their commitment to growth and achievement for children and
staff.
