Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
As social studies standards shift to place a higher emphasis on
critical thinking, inquiry, interaction, and expression, many
teachers are scrambling to figure out how to appropriately shift
their instruction accordingly. This book provides examples and
ideas for working with elementary and middle school students to
build social studies skills and knowledge in order to become
independent learners and thinkers. Teaching these skills helps to
support students in ways which are important to them, and to
society at large. Real Classrooms, Real Teachers: The C3 Inquiry in
Practice is aimed at in-service and pre-service teachers, grades
3-8. This text includes six sections: an introduction, one section
for each of the four dimensions of the C3 Framework for Social
Studies State Standards (National Council for the Social Studies,
2013), and a conclusion. Each chapter begins with a vignette based
on a real-life social studies lesson authored by a practicing
teacher or researcher. This is followed by a sample lesson plan
associated with the vignette and suggestions for appropriate texts
and supporting materials, as well as suggestions for modifications.

"At the Mercy of Externals: Righting Wrongs and Protecting Kids"
deals extensively with adult roles and responsibilities and the
damage done when these obligations are not met. David Roberts'
FLAGS Model graphically reveals how adults tend to act out
emotion-based anxiety and depression, which is rooted in negative
emotions associated with a history of abuse and victimization.
A number of lists critical to understanding the FLAGS model
enable you to relate to the material on a personal level, and
customize the subject matter to your own situation. While much of
the focus is on parenting, other types of adult roles are
addressed.
Of particular interest is the impact of abuse on kids outside
the home or family. "At the Mercy of Externals" offers solutions
found through critical thinking and by challenging myths accepted
as truth.
Dr. Roberts specializes in working with at risk youth including
juvenile offenders and gang members. He views his work as a form of
spiritual outreach to misunderstood kids. His concepts are widely
accepted and easily applicable to groups regardless of cultural and
ethnic differences.
The selections in Ripples of Life are easy to understand. They are
simply written. Yet, they are powerful enough to keep you thinking
and wondering as you are being entertained. Ripples of Life has
been divided into separate sections which contain their own
specific type of content for ease of access and with the use of the
Table of Contents. Best of all, the contents are offered in both,
the English and Spanish Language for either native speaker, if not
bilingual. I don't know of any other written work quite like this
one, except for the closest thing to it, an English/Spanish
Dictionary.
Protecting children from all forms of abuse and understanding
their formative years is on the minds of today's professionals and
families. In "At the Mercy of Externals," author Dr. David L.
Roberts provides a practical model to successfully guide kids into
adulthood.
He introduces his Roberts FLAGS model (or RFLAGS), which
explains how we tend to act out emotion-based anxiety rather than
face the issues from the past that are often fueling our negative
emotions of Fear, Loneliness, Anger, Guilt, and Shame. The model
serves as a visual and intellectual way to understand the
development of maladaptive behavior, and it is a means of helping
us to understand that behavior is not necessarily representative of
who we are as a person.
A companion to "Psyche-Soul-ology," "At the Mercy of Externals"
advocates a two-step approach to the problems families, kids, and
professionals face in various situations and contexts. Roberts uses
examples from his dysfunctional childhood, combined with his
professional experiences helping at-risk youth, to demonstrate the
importance of repairing our lives as adults as a preliminary step
to nurturing and protecting children.

Providing insight into the lives of troubled, at-risk, and
high-risk kids, "Psyche-Soul-ology" offers a new approach to mentor
this segment of the population to produce favorable outcomes.
Author Dr. David L. Roberts, a practicing psychologist, presents a
model that includes focusing on both the minds of the youths and
their souls.
A companion to "At the Mercy of Externals," also by Roberts,
this edition provides a practical guide for social services
personnel who work with troubled kids. Offering appropriate and
specific case examples, "Psyche-Soul-ology" addresses everything
from myths to misperceptions relative to issues of psychological
development, sexuality, addiction, criminality, and intelligence,
all mixed with proven approaches that maximize efforts to reach and
guide kids successfully into their respective and subjective
futures. This guide revisits the RFLAGS Model and introduces the
codes of ethics, codes of conduct, and the concept of moral
development and responsibilities that are needed to shape our value
systems and the way we prioritize things in our lives.
"Psyche-Soul-ology" provides the resources and practical
techniques to take kids and adults out of the bondage to external
factors and gives them the internal perspective needed to
successfully move forward in life.
Every teacher knows that a day in the classroom is always full of
surprises, successes, failures, and inspirational moments. In the
poignant memoir "School House Diary," longtime educator shares
anecdotes-both tragic and humorous-that detail his nearly thirty
years as a social studies teacher, coach, and student advocate in
Cincinnati, Ohio. Jerry Roberts began his career as a high school
history teacher not as a green twenty-two-year-old recent college
graduate, but as a four-year Army veteran and father of two young
children. As he details the antics, humorous incidents, and human
tragedy that often unfolded on a daily basis in his classroom,
Roberts offers an eye-opening glimpse into the life of a teacher-a
life that often includes switching roles from history teacher to
surrogate parent to armchair psychologist. From the helicopter Mom
who had difficulty letting her daughter grow up to the pregnant
twelve-year-old student to the driven high school student who
learned that leadership requires building trust in others, Roberts
shines a fascinating light into the challenging world of an
educator. "School House Diary" is a compelling collection of essays
that prove that teachers truly make a difference every day in the
lives of their students.

The challenges of teaching history are acute where we consider the
world history classroom. Generalized world history courses are a
part of many, if not most, K-12 curricular frameworks in the United
States. While United States history tends to dominate the
scholarship and conversation, there are an equally wide number of
middle-level and secondary students and teachers engaged in the
study of world history in our public schools. And the challenges
are real. In the first place, if we are to mark content coverage as
a curricular obstacle in the history classroom, generally, then we
must underscore that concern in the world history classroom and for
obvious reasons. The curricular terrain to choose from is immense
and forever expanding, dealing with the development of numerous
civilizations over millennia and across a wide geographic expanse.
In addition to curricular concerns, world historical topics are
inherently farther away from most students' lives, not just
temporally, but often geographically and culturally. Thus the
rationale for the present text, Hollywood or History? An
Inquiry-Based Strategy for Using Film to Teach World History. The
reviews of the first volume Hollywood or History? An Inquiry-Based
Strategy for Using Film to Teach Untied States History strategy
have been overwhelmingly positive, especially as it pertains to the
application of the strategy for practitioner. Classroom utility and
teacher practice have remained our primary objectives in developing
the Hollywood or History? strategy and we are encouraged by the
possibilities of Volume II and the capacity of this most recent
text to impact teaching and learning in world history. We believe
that students' connection to film, along with teachers' ability to
use film in an effective manner, will help alleviate some of the
challenges of teaching world history. The book provides 30
secondary lesson plans (grades 6-12) that address nine eras in
world history.
