Celebrating Intellectual Curiosity: Kindergarten Through College
Scholarship and Research broadens the perspective on academic
pursuits. Curiosity needs to be cultivated at all school levels.
All formats of scholarship and research contribute to increased
human understanding. The criteria for evaluating different
scholarly activity needs to be well matched with the respective
format. Both Scientific and Artistic standards need to be
considered for a deeper appreciation of intents and results. Grade
school children would be well served by being schooled in the four
traditional areas of university faculty evaluation:
teaching-learning; scholarship; service; and colleagueship. The
book uses vignettes and stories to establish the complexities and
utility of varying forms of research. Criteria are identified that
fit the respective approaches. The study looks at The Scholarship
of Teaching; The Scholarship of Teaching as Action Research:
Creative Artistry; Arts Based Research; The Scholarship of Service;
Curriculum Development; The Scholarship of the Student. The
complementary nature of the variety of scholarships reveals an
underlying Ecology of Education that relies upon a great diversity
in roles to maintain a healthy system.

The stories, anecdotes, humor, and insights found in this book
capture what it means to be a teacher. The book begins with common
encounters that are the hallmark of the new-teacher experience, but
continues into equally entertaining tales that come with years of
working with students, parents, staff, faculty, and administrators.
What it Means to Be a Teacher mirrors a teacher's playful sense of
irony and a deep appreciation of the old wisdom about feeling "the
impact of the great, occasional and accidental joy" which comes
with teaching. Whether a teacher, principal, or administrator,
readers will relate to the profound sense of what it means to be a
teacher.
The Challenge of Greatness: The Legacy of Great Teachers reveals
the characteristics and teaching strategies of Great Teachers.
Simultaneously the book describes a Pantheon of thirty-two great
teachers, and challenges the reader to continue their legacy by
becoming one. Recognizing the uniqueness of a great teacher, the
book raises the kind of issues they face, and a range of
possibilities from which they find solutions.

This book is an easy-to-read, fun and provocative discussion of how
to understand, appreciate, and evaluate film. Written by professor
and film guru Michael Gose, the book is loved by students and
moviegoers alike. Michael Gose masterfully raises key questions and
examples that illuminate perspectives and issues raised in film.
The style is both educational and highly entertaining. The work has
received rave reviews. For example, Dr. Robert K. Johnson rates the
book "a gold mine of wide-ranging questions and critical
perspectives that together help viewers unpack a movie's power and
meaning." This book is a masterful achievement that allows the
reader to truly engage in the film experience.
"Finally a book about teaching that tells it like it is," NEA Today
said about Michael Gose's first edition, What It Means to Be a
Teacher. The second edition continues the stories that capture the
meaning of teaching and now looks back with commentary on how those
tales also work as parables. In the spirit of Thomas Paine, this
second edition uses "Common Sense" to tell what is really going on
with students, teachers, and schools. (Hint: the reality is
actually a lot more optimistic than commonly portrayed in the
media.)
