Teaching Secondary School Mathematics

Research and practice for the 21st century

By: Merrilyn Goos,Gloria Stillman,Sandra Herbert,Vince Geiger

Since its first publication, Teaching Secondary School Mathematics has established itself as one of the most respected and popular texts for both pre-service and in-service teachers. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the major changes brought about by the introduction of the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics, as well as discussing significant research findings, the evolution of digital teaching and learning technologies, and the implications of changes in education policies and practices. The mathematical proficiencies that now underpin the Australian curriculum -- understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning -- are covered in depth in Part 1, and a new section is devoted to the concept of numeracy. The chapter on digital tools and resources has been significantly expanded to reflect the growing use of these technologies in the classroom, while the importance of assessment is recognised with new material on assessment for learning and as learning, along with a consideration of policy development in this area. Important research findings on common student misconceptions and new and effective approaches for teaching key mathematical skills are covered in detail. As per the first edition readers will find a practical guide to pedagogical approaches and the planning and enactment of lessons together with enhanced chapters on teaching effectively for diversity, managing issues of inequality and developing effective relationships with parents and the community. This book is the essential pedagogical tool for every emerging teacher of secondary school mathematics. 'The text offers an excellent resource for all of those involved in the preparation of secondary mathematics teachers, with links to research literature, exemplars of classroom practices, and instructional activities that encourage readers to actively examine and critique practices within their own educational settings.' Professor Glenda Anthony, Institute of Education, Massey University 'A rich and engaging textbook that covers all of the important aspects of learning to become an effective secondary mathematics teacher. The second edition of this text ... is further enhanced with updated references to the Australian Curriculum, NAPLAN, STEM, current Indigenous, social justice and gender inequity issues, and the place of Australian mathematics curricula on the world stage.'

From the courageous struggle of the Hungarian revolution, to the dramatic strife of the civil rights movement in Mississippi...from Israel's heroic fight for freedom, to the eve of the Six-Day War...Leah's children confronted their own convictions and desires in an ever-changing world fraught with danger, idealism, and betrayal. Their uncompromising search for love and fulfillment carried them into dangerous emotional territory-where only the strength, courage, and imagination inherited from their mother could lead them to their own triumphant destinies.

The Voting Rights War

The NAACP and the Ongoing Struggle for Justice

By: Gloria J. Browne-Marshall

The Voting Rights War tells the story of the courageous struggle to achieve voting equality through more than one hundred years of work by the NAACP at the Supreme Court. Readers take the journey for voting rights from slavery to the Plessy v. Ferguson case that legalized segregation in 1896 through today’s conflicts around voter suppression. The NAACP brought important cases to the Supreme Court that challenged obstacles to voting: grandfather clauses, all-White primaries, literacy tests, gerrymandering, vote dilution, felony disenfranchisement, and photo identification laws. This book highlights the challenges facing American voters, especially African Americans, the brave work of NAACP members, and the often contentious relationship between the NAACP and the Supreme Court. This book shows the human price paid for the right to vote and the intellectual stamina needed for each legal battle. The Voting Rights War follows conflicts on the ground and in the courtroom, from post-slavery voting rights and the formation of the NAACP to its ongoing work to gain a basic right guaranteed to every citizen. Whether through litigation, lobbying, or protest, the NAACP continues to play an unprecedented role in the battle for voting equality in America, fighting against prison gerrymandering, racial redistricting, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and more. The Voting Rights War highlights the NAACP’s powerful contribution and legacy.

STEAM Meets Story

Using Adolescent Fiction and Film to Spark Deeper Learning

By: Gloria D. Campbell-Whatley,Diane Rodriguez,Jugnu Agrawal

This innovative STEAM guide will help general and special education teachers to increase effective instruction with adolescents (grades 5–10). The authors show teachers how to link STEM concepts with popular fiction and film selections as a catalyst to launch student interactions, discussions, projects, and investigations. This approach will promote problem solving and reasoning skills by initiating the scientific process, rather than simply presenting established facts. The book includes a wealth of lesson plans that connect abstract STEM ideas to realistic experiences that students encounter. Sample lessons call on students to produce drawings and models that move STEM to STEAM. Grounded in popular film and the 31 books most read by adolescent students, the text includes teaching strategies found to be effective with traditionally underserved students and those with disabilities. Book Features: Standards-based STEM lessons are interrelated and interwoven with writing, reading, speaking, and other skills.Practical ideas and hands-on activities for engaging adolescents in both traditional and virtual environments. Guidance for working with diverse populations, such as students with different abilities, culturally and linguistic diverse students, translingual students, and transnational students. Includes full lessons, templates, and handouts

Women Trailblazers of California

Pioneers to the Present

By: Gloria G Harris,Hannah S. Cohen

In a series of biographical profiles, this volume celebrates the lives and achievements of women who made history in the Golden State. Throughout California’s history, remarkable women have been at the core of change and innovation. In this fascinating volume, Gloria Harris and Hannah Cohen relate the stories of forty women whose struggles and achievements have paved the way for generations. Coming from all walks of life and entering a variety of fields—from activism and conservation to science, medicine, entertainment, and more—these women overcame prejudice, skepticism and injustice to prove that women can do anything. Visionary architect Julia Morgan designed Hearst Castle; Dolores Huerta co-founded United Farm Workers; Donaldina Cameron, the angry angel of Chinatown, rescued brothel workers; and silent film actress Mary Pickford helped form United Artists Pictures. From fearless pioneers to determined reformers, Harris and Cohen chronicle the triumphs and disappointments of diverse women who dared to take risks and break down barriers.

Providence Perdition

Book Three of the New England Series

By: Gloria H. Giroux

1977. Disco was blasting across the airwaves and the Bee Gees and Donna Summer reigned supreme. Jimmy Carter assumed the presidency after the debacle of the Nixon administration. Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind hit movie screens and birthed a new exploration of cinematic science fiction while Saturday Night Fever became the biggest dancing movie of all time. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock & Roll, died at age 42. Egypt and Israel made significant progress in peace talks. Serial killer David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam, was captured in New York while another infamous serial killer, Ted Bundy, was still cutting a swath of murders across the country. People were still adjusting to the end of the Vietnam war and looking forward to a new prosperity and social stability. In Providence, Rhode Island, private investigator and Scottish expatriate Nick MacKenzie is inexplicably drawn into a crime mystery when two skeletons fall out of a demolished old house and an investigation opens that reaches back to the era of the Great Depression and Prohibition. As Nick digs deeper into the crime, he uncovers evidence that that takes on a personal meaning. Along the way he acquires new and very unexpected friends as well as an enemy that will do anything to keep the past hidden, even kill. Through strange circumstances Nick also acquires a young foster son with a hidden past. As the mysteries and discoveries progress Nick and his circle become not only fast friends but an odd sort of family that redefines the very concept. He is joined by a gung-ho cop whose professional aspirations take a shocking turn; an elderly man who knows more than he’s saying about the lynchpin year of 1933; an old woman who is far more than she presents to the world; a scion of a mob family that seeks to forge a decent future; and a young lawyer whose personal demons lead him to an unexpected life path. As the end games of the mysteries count down to their climaxes, the only question is – who will survive, and at what cost?

A “moving and memorable” novel about a cafe where everyone has a story to tell from the award-winning author of The Women of Brewster Place (The Boston Globe).

THRONES

Dominions Principalities Powers

By: Gloria Parnham Bradfield

Gloria Parnham Bradfield has captured the political intrigue, suspense and humor of 19th Century American life in her insightful new novel, THRONES. Set in 1848, Bradfield´s story transports the reader into the smoldering political climate of the antebellum South where men manipulated, conspired and debated the future of the country as they steeled their positions for what was to come. Bradfield´s years of period research are reflected in the pages of this extremely well-crafted tale. The author snipped a hole in history and inserted fictional land owner Nathan Coulter, his sons Justin and Dan, and Rebecca Chancellor, prococious daughter of the junior Senator of South Carolina. The characters´ lives intersect with the explosive issues of the day as events lead them from New York to the White House to Virginia´s Tidewater and the plantations of South Carolina. The well-honed use of dialogue, dialect, debates and dissention help develop the issues of the 1840s and 1850s in a manner relevant to our time. Addressing the predominant topic of the era, THRONES explores the political and economic issues that tied the country to slavery while depicting the slaves´ profound contribution to the music, language, cuisine and culture that make up the South´s rich heritage. Historical fiction devotees and political enthusiasts will be mesmerized by the political partnerships and secret dealings recounted in Bradfield´s exciting new book. THRONES is a compelling and enriching read.

She Took Justice

The Black Woman, Law, and Power – 1619 to 1969

By: Gloria J. Browne-Marshall

She Took Justice: The Black Woman, Law, and Power – 1619 to 1969 proves that The Black Woman liberated herself. Readers go on a journey from the invasion of Africa into the Colonial period and the Civil Rights Movement. The Black Woman reveals power, from Queen Nzingha to Shirley Chisholm. In She Took Justice, we see centuries of courage in the face of racial prejudice and gender oppression. We gain insight into American history through The Black Woman's fight against race laws, especially criminal injustice. She became an organizer, leader, activist, lawyer, and judge – a fighter in her own advancement. These engaging true stories show that, for most of American history, the law was an enemy to The Black Woman. Using perseverance, tenacity, intelligence, and faith, she turned the law into a weapon to combat discrimination, a prestigious occupation, and a platform from which she could lift others as she rose. This is a book for every reader.

Id like to go to medical school. This statement sparked the stimulus for a family adventure that was unusual, not because of the statement, but because the man making it was a 34 year old schoolteacher with eight children. This book relates the challenges of this pursuit, but also the joys and struggles of parenting twelve children. It is filled with the challenges and humorous accounts of life in an overflowing household. It is not about perfection. It is the reflections of two nave newlyweds who learn to love, to laugh and to pray through on-the-job training as parents.

Keene Retribution

Book four of the New England Series

By: Gloria H. Giroux

1979. As the turbulent decade wound down Disco was still ruling the airwaves, but more complex music was rushing towards the scene. Boiling anti-American sentiments were fermenting in the Middle East, culminating in the hostage-taking of American embassy personnel and others in Tehran after the Shah fled to Egypt. The United States established full diplomatic relations with China. Using the “Twinkie” defense Dan White is only convicted of manslaughter in the murders of George Moscone and Harvey Milk. Michael Jackson broke through as a single artist with his album Off the Wall. Worldwide per capita oil production reached an historic peak. The Soviet Union launched its invasion of Afghanistan. With all the turmoil in the world people were still excited about reaching a new decade with all the promise underlying the negativity bubbling at the end of the 1970s. Big hair and shoulder pads were on the horizon. In the small city of Keene in southern New Hampshire strange murders have begun, starting with the decapitations of hitchhikers by a man who pays an ironic price. They continue in different manners with different victims, slowly revealing a dark pattern that intensifies the elusiveness of the perpetrator. People from different walks of life band together to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice: a crime novelist; a young police detective and his associates; a diligent, determined reporter; and a reclusive Asian man with a mysterious past who isn’t all he seems and might be something no one would suspect. As they pursue sharing investigations, theories, and clues, the twisted killer is stalking the city with a focused ruthlessness that is stacking up bodies and keeping his pursuers at bay. The climax of the hunt rushes towards an unexpected and heart-pounding conclusion in the wild White Mountains of New Hampshire. But that climax is far from the end of the story, a twist no one would have imagined, or prepared for ...

Young Madeleine Levy—granddaughter of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish World War I hero—steps bravely into a new wave of resistance women and becomes the guardian of lost children. When Madeleine meets a small girl in a tattered coat with the hollow look of one forced to live a nightmare—a young Jewish refugee from Germany—she knows that she cannot stand idly by. Madeleine offers children comfort and strength while working with other members of the resistance to smuggle them out of Paris and into safer territories. As the Paris Madeleine loves is transformed into a theater of tension and hatred, many are tempted to abandon the cause. Amidst the impending horror and doubt, Madeleine and Claude, a young Jewish Resistance fighter who shares her passion for saving children, are drawn fiercely together. With a questionable future ahead of them, all Madeleine can do is continue fighting and hope that her spirit—and the nation's—won't be broken. A remarkable, panoramic book of resistance during World War II, The Paris Children is a story of love and the power of hope and courage in the face of tragedy. Praise for The Paris Children: "In The Paris Children, real-life Resistance fighter Madeleine Levy steps out from behind her famous grandfather, French political figure Alfred Dreyfus, to claim her own legacy of patriotism as she battled against anti-semitism in World War II. Author Gloria Goldreich shares the inspiring tale of Madeleine's brave and dangerous rescue of French children and the bittersweet nature of her ultimate sacrifice."—Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Mystery of Mrs. Christie "In Gloria Goldreich's magic hands, this true story becomes a beautiful, imaginative retelling of an extraordinary woman's life. With her fine images and perceptive insights, Goldreich captures a dark era—and the human goodness that illumined it."—Francine Klagsbrun, author of Lioness: Golda Meir and the Nation of Israel "A page-turning and inspiring story of how courage and family ties can survive even the worst of evil."—New York Journal of Books

The Dimensions of a Godly Woman

By: Gloria Howell-Mason

My view: This manuscript (soon-to-be-published book), I'm sure is truly a love story. It is spiritual, romantic, serious, instructional, and informative; and throughout the book reads like a love letter to God and to the author's husband-to-be, and now husband, Kelma. There were a couple or more statements in the manuscript (journal entries) that really made me chuckle. I read those about three times because I enjoyed the lightheartedness of the author, as well as my own hearty laughter, which felt very good. I'm pretty certain that this will have the same effect on other readers, as well. My sincerest thanks to the author for asking me to be among the first persons to read her manuscript. I am indeed honored. There's a subtle hint that this manuscript, once published, may be the first in a series of inspirational books, packed with love and appreciation for God, her husband, her family, and others. --Perlene P. Montgomery This is my personal account of the author's relationship with God, her spouse, and her ministry. Through the pages of her revealing inspirational book, Mrs. Gloria Howell-Mason presents a unique acknowledgment of God's purpose, mission, and vision for her life. In this literary record, she declares her determination to trust Jesus as she joyfully seeks to please Him daily and to inspire others to grow deeper in the love and higher in the spirit of Jesus- --Audrey L. Byrd I am so honored to have been asked to read this wonderful book. What a delightful, caring, funny story. Follow Elder Gloria Mason on her journey through love loss and love again, a greater love than she would have ever known--love for God, love for family, love for the one that God has for her, as well as love for the plan he is revealing to her. It is a beautiful reminder that if we wait on the Lord, he will make all things new and exciting. --Prophetess Joyce Washington I thought the book was magnificent. It's a blessing to me to have lived long enough to find out how talented my daughter is and to read a book that she wrote. A. Louise Williams, Author's Mother (Member of Missionary Guild, and Church Mother) Her compassion for the love of God and the man God sent her to lean on for her to be able to freely work in his kingdom here on earth. She expresses her intimate relationship with recognizing order in her life and why first things should be first to get it right. --Dr. Barbara Privo P. Wiggins, PhD

Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill

A Call to Action Against TV, Movie & Video Game Violence

By: Lt. Col. Dave Grossman,Gloria Degaetano

There is perhaps no bigger or more important issue in America at present than youth violence. Columbine, Sandy Hook, Aurora: We know them all too well, and for all the wrong reasons: kids, some as young as eleven years old, taking up arms and, with deadly, frightening accuracy, murdering anyone in their paths. What is going on? According to the authors of Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill, there is blame to be laid right at the feet of the makers of violent video games (called "murder trainers" by one expert), the TV networks, and the Hollywood movie studios--the people responsible for the fact that children witness literally thousands of violent images a day. Authors Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Gloria DeGaetano offer incontrovertible evidence, much of it based on recent major scientific studies and empirical research, that movies, TV, and video games are not just conditioning children to be violent--and unaware of the consequences of that violence--but are teaching the very mechanics of killing. Their book is a much-needed call to action for every parent, teacher, and citizen to help our children and stop the wave of killing and violence gripping America's youth. And, most important, it is a blueprint for us all on how that can be achieved. In Paducah, Kentucky, Michael Carneal, a fourteen-year-old boy who stole a gun from a neighbor's house, brought it to school and fired eight shots at a student prayer group as they were breaking up. Prior to this event, he had never shot a real gun before. Of the eight shots he fired, he had eight hits on eight different kids. Five were head shots, the other three upper torso. The result was three dead, one paralyzed for life. The FBI says that the average, experienced, qualified law enforcement officer, in the average shootout, at an average range of seven yards, hits with less than one bullet in five. How does a child acquire such killing ability? What would lead him to go out and commit such a horrific act?

A Homicide in Hooker's Point

By: Gloria Taylor Weinberg

As a quintessential storyteller at the top of her form, Gloria Taylor Weinberg delves into the sometimes painful realities of life to produce a hauntingly unforgettable novel. In the fall of 1950, eight-year old Vicki Leigh Bayle learns that prejudice is not always about color, and that truth, as adults define it, is malleable. She learns that love and hate are drawn from the same well, and that some of the people she loves most keep stores of each in equal measure. The day after neighbor Eric Magruder kills her kitten during a domestic dispute, Vicki and her father watch as Eric is gunned down in their front yard. Witnesses say he was killed by his father-in-law. But is that really what happened during that tragic weekend of violence? At least one investigator has doubts. Both Vicki and her father had access to a gun that day, and her father refuses to produce it. Why? A Homicide in Hookers Point is a fascinating tale of innocence and pathos colliding in a small community in rural South Florida. The story develops inexorably; building momentum as it evolves, all the while tempting the reader to linger over passages of lush, evocative imagery. I was struck by the authors insightful portrayal of people and places, which brought back fond memories of the simple, authentic life experiences that I had growing up in Clewiston near Hookers Point. -- Erik C. Larsen, Attorney, Winter Park, Florida.
