It’s All Good: A Career in Education shares the journey of David Lauer as he transitions from college into a stellar forty-two-year career in education. Practicing teachers, administrators and those contemplating a career in education will gain insight and valuable tools through each vignette. Experience shock, joy, sadness, anticipation, and humor as Lauer passionately discusses leadership, modeling, innovative teaching techniques and the importance of building positive relationships. Throughout the book, Lauer demonstrates how to live a life of hard work, service and caring for others. “Power grabs” at the end of each chapter offer readers down-to-earth practical recommendations to immediately implement in the classroom, school or district office. The power grabs are based on first hand strategies Lauer applied to propel students, teachers, parents and colleagues to the next level. Current teachers and administrators as well as learning communities, teacher preparation programs, and prospective administrator programs are reminded of the tremendous power teachers and principals have in the lives of individual students. Teachers and principals create winners or losers through their words and actions. Readers will be motivated and challenged to become leaders who have significant positive impacts on the growth and development of others. The true measure of educational success in America is the quality of life that we all enjoy today. Teachers and Principals are largely responsible…for better or worse. Knowledge is power. Arm yourselves with these boots on the ground experiences.
In 1986 Dr. David Snowdon, one of the world’s leading experts on Alzheimer’s disease, embarked on a revolutionary scientific study that would forever change the way we view aging—and ultimately living. Dubbed the “Nun Study” because it involves a unique population of 678 Catholic sisters, this remarkable long-term research project has made headlines worldwide with its provocative discoveries. Yet Aging with Grace is more than a groundbreaking health and science book. It is the inspiring human story of these remarkable women—ranging in age from 74 to 106—whose dedication to serving others may help all of us live longer and healthier lives. Totally accessible, with fascinating portraits of the nuns and the scientists who study them, Aging with Grace also offers a wealth of practical findings: • Why building linguistic ability in childhood may protect against Alzheimer’s • Which ordinary foods promote longevity and healthy brain function • Why preventing strokes and depression is key to avoiding Alzheimer’s • What role heredity plays, and why it’s never too late to start an exercise program • How attitude, faith, and community can add years to our lives A prescription for hope, Aging with Grace shows that old age doesn’t have to mean an inevitable slide into illness and disability; rather it can be a time of promise and productivity, intellectual and spiritual vigor—a time of true grace.
