Dios El Espiritu Santo: Cuaderno De Trabajo Del Estudiante
by DR Pensacola H Jefferson¡DIOS SE ENLAZA y SE UNE A TI a través de “SU” ESPÍRITU SANTO MORADOR al igual que lo hizo con Jesús, la Palabra! "Yo y mi padre somos [no simplemente cercanos, sino]… UNO." (Juan 10:30 KJV). Jesús NO dijo que él y su padre estaban cerca, sino que era “UNO”. Estar cerca implica una cercanía, pero “uno” implica una sola unidad o un todo indiviso. En hebreo, la definición de unión (echadh) es “unidad”. Esta unidad es, ante todo, SANTA y única para Dios y Jesús (Deuteronomio 6:4). JESÚS es la PALABRA de DIOS. “… Él (Jesús) tenía un nombre escrito, que nadie conocía… su nombre era El Verbo de Dios…” (Apocalipsis 19: 12-13 NASB). La PALABRA de Dios Es ESPÍRITU. “…LAS PALABRAS QUE YO les hablo, SON ESPÍRITU…” (Juan 6:63 KJV) Así es, Jesús (LA PALABRA) es también ESPÍRITU. “…El señor es ESE ESPÍRITU…” (2 Corintios 3:17 KJV). Dios Es Espíritu. “…DIOS ES ESPÍRITU…” (Juan 4:24). Jesús (la palabra) es ESPÍRITU. “… El señor es ESE ESPÍRITU [¡TAMBIÉN!]…” (2 corintios 3:17 KJV). Dios es Espíritu y Jesús, la palabra es Espíritu. “… Yo y mi padre somos UNO…” (Juan 10:30 KJV). Los creyentes, ahora tienen el privilegio de decir, “… Yo y mi padre somos uno…, “TAMBIÉN”.

Diploma Mills: How For-Profit Colleges Stiffed Students, Taxpayers, and the American Dream
by A. J. AnguloA provocative history of for-profit colleges and universities.Honorable Mention, PROSE Education Practice Award by the American Association of Publishers, FY17The most significant shift in higher education over the past two decades has been the emergence of for-profit colleges and universities. These online and storefront institutions lure students with promises of fast degrees and "guaranteed" job placement, but what they deliver is often something quite different. In this provocative history of for-profit higher education, historian and educational researcher A. J. Angulo tells the remarkable and often sordid story of these "diploma mills," which target low-income and nontraditional students while scooping up a disproportionate amount of federal student aid.Tapping into a little-known history with big implications, Angulo takes readers on a lively journey that begins with the apprenticeship system of colonial America and ends with today’s politically savvy $35 billion multinational for-profit industry. He traces the transformation of nineteenth-century reading and writing schools into "commercial" and "business" colleges, explores the early twentieth century’s move toward professionalization and progressivism, and explains why the GI Bill prompted a surge of new for-profit institutions. He also shows how well-founded concerns about profit-seeking in higher education have evolved over the centuries and argues that financial gaming and maneuvering by these institutions threatens to destabilize the entire federal student aid program.This is the first sweeping narrative history to explain why for-profits have mattered to students, taxpayers, lawmakers, and the many others who have viewed higher education as part of the American dream. Diploma Mills speaks to today’s concerns by shedding light on unmistakable conflicts of interest long associated with this scandal-plagued class of colleges and universities.

Direct Instruction: A practitioner's handbook
by Kurt EngelmannDirect Instruction (DI) is a powerful instructional approach designed to ensure that students master critical skills and content required for more advanced learning. Although DI has existed since the late 1960s, there are many common misconceptions about the approach, its potential to enhance student learning and the way its proper implementation facilitates students' academic success. This book provides a systematic explanation of the Direct Instruction methodology and DI program design as it outlines a roadmap for teachers and school leaders on how to implement DI successfully. Divided into three main sections, the first section describes DI as a coherent and complete teaching-and-learning system that contrasts DI with lower case "di" or explicit instruction, which focuses on effective instructional delivery techniques. The second section provides a step-by-step guide to implementing DI. The third section is devoted to cautions about implementing DI. This section reinforces the notion that the physical possession of the DI curricula does not by itself lead to student success. Those who adopt DI need to ensure that it is implemented with fidelity for the benefit of their students who are reliant on them to provide them with the means to achieve their academic potential so they may lead healthy, productive lives.
