Exemplary schools have at their core outstanding principals and teachers. This book enables school leaders to enhance teacher performance to move from problematic to good or better yet, from good to great. Serving as a reference tool, the authors identify 38 common challenges or opportunities to use their Individualized Intervention Strategy System (IISS). To most effectively correct any of these problematic attitudes or behaviors, leaders first assess the teacher's stage of motivation and behavior style before selecting from one or more of their 304 strategies ranging from slightly to extremely intrusive. Questions to Ponder and case studies serve to not only help leaders look at themselves in terms of their strengths and weaknesses in working with their staffs but also to illustrate the IISS in action. A toolbox of strategies, Enhancing Teacher Performance can be used as a text or on-the-run. The goal is to provide you, the school leader, a way forward in creating an encouraging milieu in your school, working alongside teachers in a true partnership to increase student learning.

Home for the Horror Days is a collection of short horror stories exploring a range of holidays that will make you fear what you've never feared before. They are gruesome tales that will make you wonder if you can ever look at the holidays the same again. After all, what would the holidays be without a little blood and guts and terrifying things that creep into your house while you sleep? Each story is unique from hair raising monsters to bone chilling fantasy characters you once thought were cute.

There are things so terrifying that come from the darkest places in the human mind that should never be allowed to escape. Minds that are so gnarled and morbidly deranged they should be lobotomized. They are tales that your mother warned you about from the place where nightmares are born. Things that once heard or seen will only grow into fears you never thought could exist.

Bites and Pieces is a gathering of wicked tales from four authors with different perspectives on horror. Each one is equally twisted but some more morbid than the others. Enter the mind of a crazed mother who kills more of her children than she does the zombies, or try to imagine being in the mind of a fool who can fix even the most unfixable things. See the tooth-fairy as you've never seen her before. There's a little something for everyone.
