Many people believe that good leadership is a forgotten quality in the youth today. I believe that if we teach students to aspire to leadership they will be better people and students. Simply stated, good leaders tend to be good students. Therefore, if we provide students with a blueprint for how to embrace leadership in the classroom and community we have the formula for closing the achievement gap that continues to divide many students and communities. What many people do not realize is that you must provide Motivation, Openness, Vision, Exposure, Mastery and Engagement (M.O.V.E.M.E.) in order for students to want to assume leadership. In addition, leadership skills are nurtured through personal exploration, reflection, and maturation which can only come from overcoming obstacles in life. What students must realize is that being a leader requires that you prioritize, practice, prepare, and demonstrate persistence daily. Once students finish this Leadership Workbook they are guaranteed to view leadership through a different and more profound light. I strongly believe that once you feed the internal desires and thoughts of students that academic achievement will follow soon after. That is the essence of effective student leadership.

For nearly twenty centuries, the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy which has always served as the basis and center of all Christianity. Yet, it is as if all of that has been just arbitrarily swept away in the few years since Vatican II. Given what the Church has always taught about itself being indefectible, how could this have happened? Did that Council have something to do with that terrible loss of faith? Can the real Catholicism be found today, and if so, where? The shocking answer to this, once seen and truly understood, is as every bit as glorious as the original resurrection of Christ Himself, a tremendous source of faith and inspiration. It is a broad-based, longstanding miracle passing right before our eyes, have we but the Grace to see it for what it is.

"My brother wrote this book based on his own experiences and the experiences of hundreds of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students he counseled, talked to, and interviewed over the course of his 40-year teaching career. The confusion he experienced during college, and the distress and intolerance he witnessed and heard about from students, lead him to realize that some college and university environments are simply not healthy places for LGBT young people to learn and grow and to sort out their own sexuality. This book documents the problems LGBT students might encounter on campus, and provides advice on how LGBT students can select the best-fit college or university for them." -Bill Hinrichs

This Q&A book is inspired by a child who asked the author hundreds of "why is " about natural phenomena and things happened around. The author scratched his head and searched for the answers, many of which are included in this book. A child's curiosity to nature and things around is his/her desire to learn. To keep him/her interested in learning more and more, one may encourage him/her asking more "why is " and provide as many clues as possible. This is what this book is intended to help.

Unlocking the Doors to College and Career Success provides indispensable guidance to benefit not only current and future college students, but also their parents, teachers, administrators, and other mentors who want to enhance a student's chance of success in college and in life. Authors Arthur G. Sharp and his daughter, Kristine E Barnett, provide the principles and keys to success in the educational process based on their experiences as students, professors, and parents. By reinforcing the importance of such values as hard work, diligence, and integrity, Sharp and Barnett show students how to persevere and succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Unlocking the Doors to College and Career Success includes not only personal anecdotes and inspirational quotes from successful people from different backgrounds and eras; it also shares Sharp and Barnett's professional experiences with other administrators and colleagues. Unlocking the Doors to College and Career Success encourages you to think like a team when it comes to a student's educational accomplishments, and to understand that success is rarely realized based on individual efforts.

Mississippi Middle School Anthology is a collection of students' writings completed during the 2001-2002 school year at Horn Lake Middle School, Horn Lake, Mississippi. Eighty-three eighth grade English students, a number from Hispanic and African-American backgrounds, were given the opportunity to submit poems, short stories, and personal essays for publication. The teacher and editor, Mrs. Sharon Hall, M. S. Ed, selected the best of these and, after, proofreading and editing and arranging them by genre, sent them to a publisher. The project turned out to be a unique learning experience for both the students and their teacher. Obviously, the finished book will be of great interest to school libraries, teachers, college students enrolled in teacher education programs, middle schoolers the world over, and child psychologists. And because Sharon Hall is convinced that MMS Anthology is a creative teaching device for all levels, she has this to say to other educators: "It is very important for students to see their work displayed in some attractive way, and those teachers who require their students to turn in written work would do well to consider this quite inexpensive motivational device. For specific information on how to publish student anthologies, send an email to me at sharonjhall@dixie-net.com."
