Children Moving: A Reflective Approach to Teaching Physical Education
by George Graham Shirley Ann Holt/Hale Melissa ParkerThe authors of Children Moving, however, recognize that each child is unique. One size does not fit all! Thus, Children Moving guides you in the process of learning to teach a curriculum that is differentiated for a range of skill abilities and fitness levels. If all children were the same, we would be able to package a curriculum with the same games and the same gymnastic stunts and dances you would do with all of the children as if they were identical. Children Moving, on the other hand, introduces you to the reflective approach--a process of teaching that provides the background for you to adapt, adjust, and modify lessons so they are interesting and worthwhile for all of the children you teach--from the lowest to the highest skill and fitness levels. The ultimate goal, of course, is to guide youngsters in the process of becoming physically active for a lifetime.

Intermediate Accounting Eighth Edition
by J. David Spiceland Wayne B. Thomas Mark W. Nelson James F. SepeFinancial accounting is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. The FASB and IASB have been working together to issue converged accounting standards that will dramatically change key reporting areas, and more generally have sought to converge accounting standards over time. However, at present the convergence process appears to have stalled with respect to new standards, and it is not clear when, if ever, IFRS will be fully incorporated into U. S. GAAP. So, while there is considerable overlap between U. S. GAAP and IFRS, important differences between U. S. GAAP and IFRS will remain for the foreseeable future. To help instructors deal with this very challenging environment, the Spiceland team is committed to providing current, comprehensive, and clear coverage of intermediate accounting, and the eighth edition reflects this.
