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.
Nutty and the Case of the Mastermind Thief (Nutty Nutsell #2)
by Dean HughesNutty put the sack with the school Christmas collection into his locker, and someone took eighty dollars and left the rest of the money. Why take only part? And who could it be? Who even knows Nutty's locker combination? These questions face Nutty, president of the student council, and his three friends--Orlando, Bilbo and Ritchie. And they had to have answers soon. 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. Only Nutty and his friends, along with their genius friend and former classmate, William Bilks, come up with many devious and funny ways to trap a thief, funny to the boys but methods that get them in serious trouble with the school principal. There are clues, but no thieves. Soon all five, but especially Nutty and William, are in deep trouble before William, with his usual aplomb, solves the problem. As always, not in a way anyone else expects. Fans of, The Hobbit., will be less confused than Nutty who realizes he really doesn't want to fail as student council president. Look for 7 other books in this series in the Bookshare Collection. Book one is, Nutty For President, and book 3 is, Nutty and the Case of the Ski-Slope Spy.
Nutty for President (Nutty Nutsell #1)
by Dean HughesFrom the back cover: " When William unveils his plan to make Nutty Nutsell the president of the Student Council, Nutty isn't sure if he's a nerd or a genius. After all, Nutty is a fifth-grader and only sixth-graders can hold office. But then, Nutty doesn't know that William has a way of handling adults--especially principals and teachers!" 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. Read more about Nutty's funny, confusing, life as a fifth grader in the next three books in the nutty Nutsell series. Bookshare has #2 Nutty and the Case of the Mastermind Thief, #3 Nutty and the Case of the Ski Slope Spy, and #4, Nutty can't miss, and there are more Nutty books to come.
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.
