This book will provide educational leaders a comprehensive set of suggestions, recommendations, and resources related to leading the implementation process for social-emotional learning. We begin with an exploration of the meaning of social and emotional learning—and the various operational definitions currently in use among leading educators and SEL-related organizations. The introductory section of the handbook also reinforces our assertion that SEL and equity are two closely interrelated priorities in education today—perhaps the two singularly most significant priorities we are all facing in our profession. Next, the handbook explores the nature of effective SEL leadership, including priorities for superintendents and other educational leaders, as well as the importance of distributed leadership via networking and the building of communities of practice related to aligning social-emotional learning with student health, nutrition, and academic progress.

Professor Lange, a world-renowned mathematician, and his father, a respected Baptist minister, lived in two very different worlds. One was a world of academia and science, the other of faith. Those worlds miraculously merged one fateful day when the father, in a desperate attempt to connect with his son, issued a challenge. Although skeptical, the professor agreed to test his father's claim that there were embedded codes in the original Hebrew version of the Old Testament that, when discovered, would reveal amazing details about significant events throughout history. Due to the father's untimely and tragic death, he would never know that his simple challenge would someday end in one of the most amazing discoveries in the history of mankind--a discovery of cosmic proportions that could forever change the trajectory of the human race. Nor would the father ever see that what started as an attempt to bridge the gap between his world and the world of his son would result in suspense, intrigue, wild chases, and an international manhunt that would lead from the mountains of western North Carolina to the Temple Mount in Israel. Along the way, the professor learned an important lesson. It was not the phenomenal discoveries that had the greatest impact on the professor's life. It was the journey itself. A journey that started in his world and ended in the world his father embraced. One that started in a world predicated on cynicism and unbelief and ended in a world of faith and promise.

This landmark two-volume set is the richest and most important extant collection of information about traditional Cherokee culture. Because many of the Cherokees own records were lost during their forced removal to the west, the Payne-Butrick Papers are the most detailed written source about the Cherokee Nation during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In the 1830s John Howard Payne, a respected author, actor, and playwright, and Daniel S. Butrick, an American Board missionary, hastened to gather information on Cherokee life and history, fearing that the cultural knowledge would be lost forever. Butrick, who was conversant with the Cherokees culture and language after having spent decades among them, recorded what elderly Cherokees had to say about their lives. The collection also contains much of the Cherokee leaders correspondence, which had been given to Payne for safekeeping. This amazing repository of information covers nearly all aspects of traditional Cherokee culture and history, including politics, myths, early and later religious beliefs, rituals, marriage customs, ball play, language, dances, and attitudes toward children. It will inform our understanding and appreciation of the history and enduring legacy of the Cherokees.

Measuring quality of life has been identified as fundamental in assessing the relative progress of societies and as having relevance for both monitoring and policy-making purposes. Self-reported measures of well-being, referred to as subjective well-being, have become increasingly topical given the growing awareness of the limitations of existing measures of well-being including gross domestic product (GDP). In the UK, the ONS’s ‘Happiness Index’ was launched in 2010 by Prime Minister David Cameron. This book aims to improve our understanding of well-being through an analysis of time-use in a post-industrial society, the UK, drawing on empirical data from large-scale surveys such as Understanding Society and smaller-scale case study evidence. It uses a plurality of theoretical perspectives to explore the relationship between our use of time and our reported levels of satisfaction, and considers the policy lessons that we can take from our organization of time.
