The Science and Art of Effective Secondary and Post-Secondary Classroom Teaching

An Analysis of Specific Social Interpersonal and Dramatic Communication Teacher Behaviors That Motivate Secondary and Post-Secondary Students Classroom Attendance and Attentive Listening

By: Thomas D. Sharts M.Ed

In this day and age with the advent and rise of teaching secondary and post-secondary courses via online instruction, classroom teaching has almost been forgotten as a primary and relevant means for instructing students at the secondary and post-secondary level. Today more than ever, effective classroom instruction is a requisite delivery process for communicating information in a manner that inspires students to attend class and listen attentively once they are present in class. This book explores six social interpersonal and dramatic communication teacher behaviors (student respect, empathy, praise/encouragement, humor use, use of personal narratives/ storytelling and enthusiasm) that are an integral part of the definition of teacher effectiveness because they are correlated with motivating secondary and post-secondary students classroom attendance and attentive listening in a classroom environment. Moreover, this book explores how these six teacher behaviors should be utilized as significant criteria when recruiting and training prospective secondary and post-secondary classroom teachers. In summation, the need for classroom teachers still holds an inspiring and relevant place in civil societies. Likewise, this book underscores how educators can use knowledge regarding effective classroom teaching to comprehend that skillful classroom instruction is both a science (behaviors that are learnable) and an art (behaviors based more upon natural oral communication gifts); yet all such behaviors should guide our recruitment and development of upcoming and currently employed classroom secondary and post-secondary teachers.

The Five Areas of Being Human: An Assessment Tool for Therapeutic Care

A Primer Guide for Effective Interviewing Skills and the Implementation of the Five Areas of Being Human Assessment Tool Related to Enhancing Precise Therapeutic Treatment

By: Thomas D. Sharts M.Ed

This book: The Five Areas of Being Human: An Assessment Tool for Therapeutic Care challenges those professionals in the business of therapeutic care to more coherently organize effective methods of behavioral assessment for the purpose of identifying the origins of problematic behaviors related to mental health and/or social problems modeled by individuals. Likewise it is this author’s belief that the best practices for organizing such a logical behavioral assessment is identifying the five areas of being human: spiritual, physical, social, psychological and vocational and developing relevant questions in association with each distinctive area; implementing effective interviewing methods and selecting appropriate therapeutic strategies. Moreover, it is the belief of this author that many persons experiencing therapeutic or medical relationships with psychiatrists, social workers, licensed practical counselors, medical physicians, etc. suffer from untreated mental health and physical conditions because this assessment model is never identified and applied by such practicing professionals. In summation, for certain, identifying the five areas of being human and developing relevant questions to ask in a therapeutic or medical relationship will effectively assist in actualizing a more cogent and helpful assessment necessary for treating and promoting healing toward those persons suffering from mental and/or physical debilitating health conditions.

Bipolar Sagacity Volume 5

Integrity Versus Faithlessness

By: Thomas D. Sharts M.Ed

Bipolar Sagacity Volume 5 continues with the theme of the first book, Bipolar Sagacity. It underscores the profound bipolar spiritual, psychological, and social struggles a person of introspection experiences as he/she travels throughout the stages of the adult life cycle. This life, both past and present, witnesses to the fact that many people of astute perceptual skills, religious faith, and intellectual knowledge live lives of great contradictions—those bipolar experiences that challenge the very essence of sanity. Yet in truth, the commentary in this book—whether ruminations, lamentations, exhortations, questions, sayings, or aphorisms—encapsulates what it means to be human as a cognizant and vibrant living adult, whether as celebrated through supplications, acknowledgment of thanks, discovered truths, or founded wisdom or by experiencing all the human fallibilities and negative perceptions associated with powerful emotional states such as confusion, fear, anger, jealousy, etc.

A Rudimentary Survey of the Social Work Profession

By: Thomas D. Sharts M.Ed

Social work is a noble profession and those persons who pursue this career do so with the highest intentions to serve as a designated helping agent applied to any individual or socially problematic area in order to make the world a better place. The field of social work is broad in scope and experience; therefore, this introductory book will focus upon delineating a basic outline of some key work-related areas and issues associated with describing the overall functionality of the profession utilizing a realistic and empirical approach. This book will examine some key areas such as: how is social work defined and what are the purposes of practicing social work? Also, it will outline a brief history of the profession’s origins and growth; identify those types of social work organizations and employment opportunities in the field; identify some sociological and psychological theories utilized by social workers to administer assessment and therapeutic care on behalf of clients and to explain greater macro social problems. Also, this book will highlight those issues associated with the profession of social work that undermine its credibility and overall utility to achieve intervention-helping goals, and explore how social problems are defined, theoretically understood and addressed for the purpose of alleviation. This book will examine the assessment criterion (the five areas of being human) that a social worker will utilize to organize an accurate assessment of a client’s problems or needs; intervention strategies; client self-determination rights in helping to complete the assessment and intervention processes successfully, and those ethical issues associated with the practice of doing social work. Lastly this book will explore the vital processes associated with developing a viable nonprofit social services organization. In summation, one of the final purposes of this book is to help the social work student understand that the most effective social worker is that helping agent whose primary purpose is to help alleviate clients’ problems/needs rather than having the omnipotent ability to outright eradicate clients’ problems or needs.

Factual Wisdom for the Age of Apostasy

A Book of Ruminations, Aphorisms, Sayings and Proverbs in Reference to the Issues of Life Associated with the Five Areas of Being Human

By: Thomas D. Sharts, MEd

This book Factual Wisdom For the Age of Apostasy accounts for those issues of life synonymous with the five areas of being human (spiritual, physical, social, psychological and vocational) associated with living in an age void of truth and commonsense. Moreover, the book offers an analysis of these life issues from various expressive perspectives such as ruminations, aphorisms, sayings and proverbs. It is the hope of this author that readers will comprehend how sacred life is in reference to safeguarding against willful ignorance, vanity, willful stupidity, cowardice and hatred while alternatively exploring and developing beliefs and behavioral lifestyles that promote the sanctity of life. In truth, life is to be lived in such a manner that living is lifted up in glory so that each person on earth has an opportunity to achieve his/her life-giving purpose and receive/and allocate community blessings because of such a fact. Anything less than such a blessed experience are those persons that are living the living death, and certainly, the works expressed in this book find these kinds of lives and those machinations responsible for such debasing experiences a reprehensible outrage that must be excised from civilized social life.
