The Well-Balanced Teacher : How to Work Smarter and Stay Sane Inside the Classroom and Out (9781416610694)

You've probably heard the advice ""put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others."" This is true both in airplanes and in classrooms-you have to take care of yourself before you can help someone else. If teachers are stressed out and exhausted, how can they have the patience, positive energy, and enthusiasm to provide the best instruction for students? Author Mike Anderson asked that question as a teacher himself, and the answers he found form the basis of The Well-Balanced Teacher. He found that teachers need to take care of themselves in five key areas to keep themselves in shape to care for their students. In addition to paying proper attention to their basic needs for nutrition, hydration, sleep, exercise, and emotional and spiritual refreshment, teachers also need: Belonging: Teachers need to feel positive connections with other people, both in school and outside school. Significance: Teachers want to know that they make a positive difference through...

The Pope (9781786827869)

Six years ago Pope Benedict XVI stunned the world by resigning, the first Pope in 700 years to do so. What drove this arch-conservative to break with sacred tradition and cede the way for Cardinal Bergoglio - a one-time tango club bouncer, football-loving reformer with the common touch - to become Pope Francis, one of most powerful men on earth? In this fascinating, gripping and often funny story of two very different men, Pope Benedict and Cardinal Bergoglio grapple with their complex pasts and uncertain futures. From coming of age under dictatorships in Germany and Argentina, to the scandal of sexual abuse by the clergy, The Pope shines a light into one of the world's most secretive institutions. At its heart lies a timeless question: in moments of crisis, should we follow the rules or our conscience? Product details Format ...

Las Aventuras De Tintin: Tintin En El Congo (9788426114013)

En esta aventura, Tintín parte al centro de África, para realizar un reportaje. Allí le esperan peligrosas aventuras, pues sus enemigos le persiguen para matarle. Al volver Tintín de su viaje a Rusia relatado en Tintín en el país de los Soviets, Hergé recibe el encargo de hacer viajar a Tintín al Congo, entonces colonia de Bélgica. Este álbum es un documento excelente para ver cómo imaginaban los europeos de la época a África y a los africanos. La historia comenzó a publicarse el 5 de junio de 1930 en Le Petit Vingtième (Ver Biografía de Hergé). En 1946, Hergé redibujó totalmente el álbum para pasarlo a color y reducir sus 110 planchas de origen a las 62 páginas que tendrían los álbumes en lo sucesivo. En esta nueva versión a color introdujo numerosas modificaciones, suavizando un poco los tintes colonialistas. A pesar de ello, Tintín en el Congo cayó en desgracia a partir de los años 50, y se hizo bastante difícil de encontrar. Era el conflictivo momento de la descolonización, y el ál...
