Educational Leadership: Perspectives on Preparation and Practice

By: Norris M. Haynes,Sousan Arafeh,Cynthia McDaniels

Educational Leadership: Perspectives on Preparation and Practice identifies core knowledge and skills that educational leaders should be exposed to during pre-service preparation and throughout in-service professional development. The contributors discuss established pedagogical and experiential learning models as well as provocative new paradigms of their own to help prepare leaders and reinforce leadership effectiveness. Implicit throughout the book are five key leadership themes: sensitivity to student development and learning; continual professional development; responsiveness to developmental, socio-cultural, and learning contexts; accepting accountability; and advancing the field. The contributors draw upon many collective years of experience as educators and supervisors of educational leaders to offer perspectives on the application and integration of core leadership principles in leadership preparation and practice.

The Turtle

By: Cynthia Rylant

Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant brings the peaceful sounds, sights, and characters of the coast vividly to life in the fourth book of the Lighthouse Family series, in which the family rescues a trapped turtle. A thick fog has found its way up north to the lighthouse family, surrounding the cliffs and waters below. Always ready to lend a hand, the lighthouse siblings Whistler and Lila help Seabold guide small ships to land. As they overlook the foggy waters, they hear a distant voice echoing from the rocks below. Who could it be? Using only a rope and their hearts to guide them, Seabold, Lila, and Whistler make their way down the side of the cliff. And what they discover will help them weather even the thickest fog—a new friend.

Little Gray Hoodie Coat

By: Cynthia R. Hobson

Little Gray Hoodie Coat is about how the McDaniel family manages to make it through hard times to a better life. The McDaniels are an African American family headed by a single mother named Lillian. She has two young daughters, Jasmine and Lillie. They are initially homeless and live in a van. Through the help of a kind acquaintance, Lillian becomes a resident at the Augustus Tolton Homeless Shelter. The Shelter is located on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, and is owned by the Saint Augustus Catholic Church. The McDaniels encounter other characters in similar situations, and their interactions portray the importance of family and friends. The stories take place in the early 90s and in current times. Through the eyes of children, the reader learns that not all children are "well off and secure." Though dealing with life's sometimes-harsh realities, the stories are sprinkled with humor and triumphs. Love, faith, hope, charity, and perseverance are interwoven themes.

Climate Change and U.S. Cities

Climate Change and U.S. Cities

Urban Systems, Sectors, and Prospects for Action

By: William D. Solecki,Cynthia Rosenzweig

Approximately 80% of the U.S. population now lives in urban metropolitan areas, and this number is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. At the same time, the built infrastructure sustaining these populations has become increasingly vulnerable to climate change. Stresses to existing systems, such as buildings, energy, transportation, water, and sanitation are growing. If the status quo continues, these systems will be unable to support a high quality of life for urban residents over the next decades, a vulnerability exacerbated by climate change impacts. Understanding this dilemma and identifying a path forward is particularly important as cities are becoming leading agents of climate action. Prepared as a follow-up to the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA), Climate Change and U.S. Cities documents the current understanding of existing and future climate risk for U.S. cities, urban systems, and the residents that depend on them. Beginning with an examination of the existing science since 2012, chapters develop connections between existing and emerging climate risk, adaptation planning, and the role of networks and organizations in facilitating climate action in cities. From studies revealing disaster vulnerability among low-income populations to the development of key indicators for tracking climate change, this is an essential, foundational analysis. Importantly, the assessment puts a critical emphasis on the cross-cutting factors of economics, equity, and governance. Urban stakeholders and decision makers will come away with a full picture of existing climate risks and a set of conclusions and recommendations for action. Many cities in the United States still have not yet planned for climate change and the costs of inaction are great. With bold analysis, Climate Change and U.S. Cities reveals the need for action and the tools that cities must harness to effect decisive, meaningful change.

Courage Through the Darkness

A Journey of Hope and Healing

By: Cynthia Thomas

From the beginning, Cynthia Thomas’s life was unstable. All children want to feel safe and loved by their parents. However, Cynthia was not born into a loving environment. Instead, she endured fear and broken trust that allowed negative strongholds to form, and she carried them into adulthood. In Courage through the Darkness, Cynthia shares her inspiring story of moving beyond her traumatic childhood to healing and restoration. Through her journey, she is forced to face her fears and make difficult decisions while searching for peace, comfort, and freedom. Along the way, she hears a still small voice speaking to her heart, providing the hope she so desperately needs. With Jesus at her side and guiding the way, Cynthia demonstrates that triumph can come from tragedy, but you must have the courage to pass through the darkness and seek the light on the other side.

Hollow Family Tree

Shush! Be Quiet Im Sleeping'

By: ,Cynthia,Deana Reffner

Are you in bondage to your childhood? Do you suffer from a deep seeded loneliness that you think no one knows about? Are you unable to forgive no matter how hard you try? This is my story of how with God's help I was able to claim victory and enter into His joy. A joy I could only read about in the Bible... yet it always seemed unattainable no matter how hard or how long I prayed. It was a long and drawn out journey learning how to fully and wholly surrender my will over to the Father. My hope is that by reading my story your journey to wholeness can be shortened. That you too can receive victory and begin entering in to the joy of the Lord.
