Nurturing Faith: A Practical Theology for Educating Christians
by Fred P. Edie Mark A. LamportFaith left on rocky soil withers. But faith nurtured in the good soil of Christian teaching, formation, and mentorship grows to maturity and yields thriving community. Educational ministries are so often where this happens—where the desires of the human heart are shaped toward a love for God, a love for one&’s neighbor, and a love for the world.

Those working with any age group—children, adolescents, and adults—will find a relevant discussion of key underlying theological themes, a guide to concrete practices, and indispensable help in navigating shifting cultural dynamics. Exceedingly practical and consistent with the teachings of the gospel, the wisdom in this book will speak to all who long to foster discipleship in their church, school, or missional community. Key FeaturesA &“Road Map&” at the beginning of each chapter concisely introduces the chapter&’s topic and essential themes.Sidebars throughout the text provide deeper insight into particular important or nuanced concepts.Discussion questions at the end of each chapter facilitate further reflection, especially in conversation with others.Suggestions for further reading are provided at the end of each chapter for those interested in exploring the chapter&’s ideas in greater depth.Concluding the book is a series of afterwords from experts in the field of Christian educational ministries: Martyn Percy, Almeda Wright, Craig Dykstra, Kirsten Oh, Elizabeth DeGaynor, and Thomas Groome.
Nurturing Mobilities: Family Travel in the 21st Century (Networked Urban Mobilities)
by Claire Maxwell Miri Yemini Katrine Mygind BachNurturing Mobilities employs new empirical material and an innovative theoretical framing to bring new clarity to why families travel today – and what happens when they do. The authors argue that an imperative to ‘think with mobility’ and to ‘aspire to be mobile’ shapes identities, futures, and family practices. Drawing on data that examines family travel practices – typically short-term trips – across the working-, middle-, and globally mobile middle-classes, Nurturing Mobilities describes how families travel, why they travel, and the role young family members play in curating family travel. Vitally, it examines the two biggest contemporary issues in global mobility: COVID-19, and climate change. How has COVID-19 changed travel motivations in a world beset by lockdowns and diminished finances? How are concerns around climate change, and engagements with global citizenship education, changing family travel practices? Nurturing Mobilities illuminates new ways in which social class divergence is forged through movements across borders. The authors’ theoretically inter-disciplinary approach delivers a full analysis of the apparently divergent processes that differentiate family travel along social class lines, yet also allow travel to play a core role in social mobility. This book is a vital resource for scholars and students studying mobility, globalisation, social class, and climate change engagement.
Nurturing Next-Generation Innovators: Open-Ended Activities to Support Global Thinking
by Ellen Booth ChurchChildren need a broad view of the world to better work with others and achieve academic success. That means being able to see many perspectives, listen to others, and share their own ideas and perceptions. Nurturing Next-Generation Innovators aims to prepare the next generation of global citizens with simple activities that start with identifying different perspectives and then challenge them to notice what they perceive. The themes in Nurturing Next-Generation Innovators are meant to ask children to notice relationships, investigate same and different, use perceptions to develop inductive and deductive reasoning, and evaluate their processes and thinking. All of this in the context of fun songs, games and activities. This book is organized differently than the traditional activity book, which is divided into sections by skill or curriculum area. Instead, it is divided into four major themes that walk children through increasing understandings of their place in the world. Literacy, math, science, motor skills, and social skills are woven into each theme. - See more at: https://www.gryphonhouse.com/books/details/nurturing-next-generation-innovators#sthash.sRzH0ClQ.dpuf
Nurturing Personal, Social and Emotional Development in Early Childhood: A Practical Guide to Understanding Brain Development and Young Children’s Behaviour
by Debbie Garvey Dr Suzanne ZeedykThis direct guide supports practitioners in nurturing personal, social and emotional development (PSED) in young children by demystifying brain development research. Condensing a wealth of recent research and theory around PSED into practical guidance, it gives professionals the knowledge and understanding they need to critically evaluate their own practice and find the best course of action to support PSED in young children. From the perspective of neuroscience, it explores what can help or hinder development, considers why some children bite and why toddlers have tantrums, and questions how well-intentioned actions, such as reward systems or putting new foods on a plate for children to 'just try', may be misguided.
Nurturing Primary Readers in Grades K-3: Reading Instruction Centered in Students' Social Emotional Needs

The Nuts & Bolts of Christian Education: Practical Wisdom for Teachers & Leaders
by Delia Halverson"Can you give me the book that will tell me how to DO Christian education?" The Nuts & Bolts of Christian Education is designed to answer the most frequently asked questions by new as well as veteran teachers and leaders. Even though most churches provide teacher and leader training at least once a year, generally these one- or two-day sessions are unable to answer every question that arises during the year. The Nuts & Bolts of Christian Education is a practical guidebook that leads new and experienced teachers through the challenging, and sometimes confounding, landscape of the education ministry of a congregation. This is not a collection of lesson plans--it is a chock-full survey of nearly every aspect of Christian education one could imagine. DOING Christian Education starts here.

Because Nutty has to produce the money at the student council meeting. Nutty's sure who the thief is. The problem is to prove it.

Nutty doesn't agree with his own campaign promises any more. How will he manage to get better food for lunches and longer recesses? He wants to quit, but he'll miss the extra attention and his proud parents beg him not to give up. Nutty thinks the girl running against him would be a better president. He is memorizing speeches he thinks are wrong. People tell him what he's doing is regular politics. Nutty's starting to think playing basketball, doing homework, almost anything., is better than politics.

Nutzen, Nicht-Nutzen und Nutzung Sozialer Arbeit: Theoretische Perspektiven und empirische Erkenntnisse subjektorientierter Forschungsperspektiven
by Anne Van Rießen Katja JepkensMit theoretischen und empirischen Beiträgen zu subjektorientierten Forschungsperspektiven – sozialpädagogische Nutzer*innenforschung, sozialpolitische (Nicht-)Nutzungsforschung und Adressat*innenforschung – fokussiert dieses Buch die Frage, wie eine solche Forschungsperspektive an bestehende Fachdiskurse der Disziplin Sozialer Arbeit anknüpft und ob sich aus den empirischen Analysen Hinweise für die Profession(-alisierung) Sozialer Arbeit ergeben. Durch den Bezug auf die zentralen Kategorien (Nicht-)Nutzen und Nutzung gelangt in den Blick, wie eine Soziale Arbeit gestaltet sein kann, die sich an Partizipation und Nutzbarmachung orientiert und sich somit an emanzipatorischen Zielsetzungen wie Selbstbestimmung und Partizipation ausrichtet. Ferner wird auch deutlich, welche Grenzen und Barrieren verhindern, dass jene, die Angebote Sozialer Arbeit in Anspruch nehmen (müssen), überhaupt ‚etwas davon haben‘.
Nutzungsmuster digitaler Anwendungen im Fachunterricht: Empirische Analysen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Fremdsprachenlehrkräften in Deutschland
by Jan NiemannIn diesem Buch werden empirische Befunde zu Mediennutzungsmustern digitaler Anwendungen im Fachunterricht in Verbindung mit Bedingungsfaktoren der Mediennutzung präsentiert, wobei insbesondere das Mediennutzungsverhalten von Fremdsprachenlehrkräften in Deutschland fokussiert wird. Die Ergebnisse der auf quantitativen Sekundäranalysen der International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) beruhenden empirischen Studie deuten auf fachgruppenspezifische Unterschiede in den Mediennutzungsmustern und den jeweiligen Bedingungsfaktoren hin. Dabei scheinen für Fremdsprachenlehrkräfte u.a. digitale Verknüpfungen mit Schulbüchern und digitale Schulbücher besonders relevante digitale Anwendungen für die Nutzung im Fachunterricht zu sein. Als zentraler Bedingungsfaktor für die Zugehörigkeit zu einem bestimmten Mediennutzungsmuster werden für Fremdsprachenlehrkräfte in Deutschland darüber hinaus digitalisierungsbezogene Einstellungen identifiziert. Die Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf ihre forschungs- und praxisbezogene Relevanz im Kontext der empirischen Bildungsforschung diskutiert.
