A COACH'S TOOLBOX TO SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCH NEW TEACHER DEVELOPMENT "Make sure your students follow your instructions." That sounds like a straightforward instruction, but in fact, it's fairly abstract. What does a teacher actually have to do to make sure students are following? Even the leader delivering this direction may not know, and the first-year teacher almost certainly doesn't. In Get Better Faster, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. The focus on the actionable—the practiceable—is what drives effective coaching. By practicing concrete actions and key micro-skills, teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class. Inside this book you'll find: "This book is a must-read for all educators who develop, impact, and influence teachers in the art of teaching and learning. New teachers need a roadmap to success: this is it." —Mauriciere De Govia, District #23 Superintendent, New York City Department of Education "Every part of the book is designed to be eminently usable for leaders who strive to spend their time on what matters most for learning. It's rich with practical, detailed advice that empowers coaches to give teachers highly individualized support." —Dawn R. Robinson, Ed.D., Chief School Performance Officer, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools "Easy-to-use and relentlessly focused on practices proven to move progress—yes, it will drive achievement Faster than ever!" —Billy Snow, District Transformation and Innovation Officer, Caddo Parish Public Schools PAUL BAMBRICK-SANTOYO is the Chief Schools Officer for high schools and K-12 content development at Uncommon Schools. Paul has trained school leaders worldwide in instructional leadership in his work as cofounder of the Relay National Principals Academy Fellowship and founder and dean of the Leverage Leadership Institute. His previous books include Driven by Data, Leverage Leadership, and Great Habits, Great Readers.

“Make sure your students follow your instructions.” That sounds like a straightforward instruction, but in fact, it’s fairly abstract. What does a teacher actually have to do to make sure students are following? Even the leader delivering this direction may not know, and the first-year teacher almost certainly doesn’t. The vast majority of teachers are only observed one or two times per year on average—and even among those who are observed, scarcely any are given feedback as to how they could improve. The bottom line is clear: teachers do not need to be evaluated so much as they need to be developed and coached.

In Get Better Faster: A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. Over the course of the book, we break down the most critical actions leaders and teachers must enact to achieve exemplary results. Designed for coaches as well as beginning teachers, Get Better Faster is an integral coaching tool for any school leader eager to help their teachers succeed.

It’s the book’s focus on the actionable—the practice-able—that drives effective coaching. By practicing the concrete actions and micro-skills listed here, teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class, producing a steady chain reaction of future teaching success.

Though focused heavily on the first 90 days of teacher development, it’s possible to implement this work at any time. New and old teachers alike can benefit from the guidance of Get Better Faster and close their existing instructional gaps.

Packed with practical training tools, including agendas, presentation slides, a coach’s guide, handouts, planning templates, and 35 video clips of real teachers at work, Get Better Faster will teach you:

• The core principles of coaching: Go Granular, Make Feedback More Frequent, 
• Top action steps to launch a teacher’s development in an easy-to-read scope and sequence guide
• The four phases of skill building:
  • Phase 1 (Pre-Teaching): Dress Rehearsal
  • Phase 2: Instant Immersion
  • Phase 3: Getting into Gear
  • Phase 4: The Power of Discourse

Excellent Book I've always been a fan of Paul bambrick-santoyo's books. This one is helpful in the fact that it gives administrators a scope a sequence for coaches. I already knew most of the philosophy, but now I know the most effective ways to teach these skills and when I should teach each one.Get it now. This book saved my teaching career. It is practical, chunked, and can be used to improve coaches but can also be used by teachers like me.Every administrator should have this book This book is fantastic for providing instructional coaches with a pathway and scope and sequence for how to turn newbie teachers into master teachers.

Gr 9 Up-This laugh-out-loud sci-fi, action-adventure will leave readers wanting more. Teens meet Nax as he's walking through Ellis Station, ready to leave after being washed out in under 24 hours. He meets up with a few other candidates who were also denied, and they board the shuttle that will take them back to Earth. As they all contemplate the end of their dreams, extremists enter the space station and start shooting. It's up to them to escape, come up with a plan to defeat the shooters, and try to stay alive with the skills that got them kicked out of the Academy. England's debut teen novel pulls readers into a sci-fi world well established in just a few pages. The author also captures the disenfranchised teen voice exceptionally well. The pages, filled equally with action and dialogue, will keep readers engaged for the entire book-and hoping for a next. ­VERDICT Purchase where James Howe's The Misfits is popular.-Cathleen Ash, Manor High School Library, TXα(c) Copyright 2011.

The Breakfast Club meets Guardians of the Galaxy in this YA sci-fi adventure by debut author M. K. England.

Hotshot pilot Nax Hall has a history of making poor life choices. So it’s not exactly a surprise when he’s kicked out of the elite Ellis Station Academy in less than twenty-four hours. But Nax’s one-way trip back to Earth is cut short when a terrorist group attacks the Academy.

Nax and three other washouts escape—barely—but they’re also the sole witnesses to the biggest crime in the history of space colonization. And the perfect scapegoats.

On the run, Nax and his fellow failures plan to pull off a dangerous heist to spread the truth. Because they may not be “Academy material,” and they may not even get along, but they’re the only ones left to step up and fight.

Full of high-stakes action, subversive humor, and underdogs becoming heroes, this YA sci-fi adventure is perfect for fans of Illuminae, Heart of Iron, or the cult classic TV show Firefly and is also a page-turning thrill ride that anyone—not just space nerds—can enjoy.

Sadly, Didn't Love I love ya sci-fi, absolutely love it, one could even say obsessed but this book just left me feeling ... nothing.I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters, I feel like there wasn’t any genuine dialogue between them and I laugh easily but this “motley” group would break out into uncontrollable laughter over the slightest thing. I get that you can laugh more when stressed but ... it really wasn’t funny? In my opinion anyways.The characters are so diverse, everyone is diverse whether by race, sexual orientation, or upbringing so that was a nice touch. I just wanted more, I didn’t understand why any one of them would be kicked out of the academy and out of a class of who knows how many those are the ONLY four kicked out? None of them were disrespectful, criminal record, didn’t want to be there, etc etc that would put a mark against them, again, in my opinion. One of the characters is trans and that’s why she’s kicked out, one tried to hard, um? Case was too smart? And I can’t remember why Rion was on his way home?So this book is non-stop action, little character growth, and mostly planetside. So space isn’t hard because they didn’t need a helmet in the city.I’m hoping I’m in the minority and everyone else loves it, it just wasn’t for me which was a real bummer since I’ve been obsessed with the cover and blurb for months.Promising Ideas Hampered by Inconsistent Physics and Distracting Commentary In retrospect, I realize now that this novel is clearly meant for high schoolers or young adults, though it's not clearly billed that way. This starts out with excellent pacing and a strong introductory hook (from the first chapter, the shooting and action starts and doesn't much let up from there). So, for a different intended audience, this book could have been fantastic. But as it is, the protagonist (and his compatriots) are younger or slightly above 18. And while the first person narrative closely mimics someone of this age, my 30+ year old brain grew very tired of it very quickly (imagine lots of unnecessary commentary, fretting, and obsessing about sexual attraction).Which brings me to my next point: the crew of "disasters" numbers four (plus someone else that tags along about halfway through. Of these 4, the protagonist is bisexual (and attracted to 2 people of either sex at once), one is male homosexual, one is trans, and one is, presumably, female heterosexual. What are the chances that 4 random people would so perfectly represent a large portion of the gender / sexual pallette? I'm not put off by the sexuality itself, but it's very clear how hard the author is trying to cover all of the bases here, and it ultimately seems more distracting than realistic or representative. Especially with how apparently horny the main character (and 2 others) are.Besides this, the physics in this book are wildly inconsistent. Magic energy shields exist, but not artificial gravity, per se, but then "inertial dampeners" exist, which would basically be gravity fields, yet space ships can't hover unless there's iron plating below it that it can use for repulsor magnetic fields. And there's dozens of other little examples of inconsistent descriptions and laws of reality that make it unclear many times what is or should be happening. At one point, the ship the protagonists use is involved in an aerial dog fight, and someone is standing up, but when a sudden maneuver comes, rather than being thrown against a wall and killed, they're just flung over someone's lap. In addition, it's in no way clear how these ships fly in atmosphere, whether by aerodynamics or sheer thrust or something else, because it's also unclear whether the author understands that aerodynamic surfaces do not maneuver a vessel in space (there's a scene where it seems like the author really doesn't know this and never makes mention of directional thrusters).Ultimately, though, what really killed it for me was at the end ((( SPOILERS ))) ... The good guys end up defeating an entire space station full of bad guys with, and I am not kidding here, nitrous oxide, AKA laughing gas. They literally just roll a canister of NOS at hyped up bad guys with automatic rifles and the bad guys instantly dissolve in laughter. First off, that's not at all how NOS works, and despite it's nick-name, NOS is more akin to aerolized wine - maybe you'll laugh, maybe you'll zonk out, maybe you'll just be confused, maybe you'll get irrationly concerned about something trivial. But you wouldn't lose all grasp of reality, and you certaintly wouldn't be instantly effected by the gas spraying wildly into open air near you from one source. At least some, if not most of the bad guys should have kept firing back, but probably with decreasing accuracy. Worse, none of these idiots apparently had the mind to bring armor or show up with a vacuum suit on, because the good guys are literally using non-lethal, non-piercing ammo the whole time while the bad guys are obviously not above mass murder. Oh, which I nearly forgot, is accomplished by way of a recycled version of The Kingsmen plot wherein everyone is killed by loud noises from their personal electronic devices (which is not possible, please, please, stop trying to do this, fiction writers, it's absurd).All told, the writing style had promise and so did the plot, but it gets increasingly buried under dumber and dumber details and plot progression. Add onto that distracting 1st person narrative, and you have yourself a mediocre novel.

It was meh. I was not impressed with the condition of the book, but it was only a rental so I cannot complain too much. Both the cover and back were bent and curled. I did serve it's purpose though.Just Buy Access Straight from Cengage If you need this textbook for a class and you also need the online materials, I suggest just buying your access directly from Cengage. The access code that comes with this book basically just the eBook, so if you needed MindTap, you'll need to pay an extra $40 + tax to upgrade your access. MindTap on its own costs $94 + tax and comes with a printable eBook, so you'll save yourself some money and time. Plus with the 14-day free trial, you won't need to pay for the program upfront. This will give you time to get used to how the program works and decide whether you want to drop out of the class.A note of caution: check your grades. If your teacher is relying on MindTap to automatically transfer your grades onto Blackboard or a similar online course and grade tracker, the grades may not transfer. It's your responsibility to inform your professor if they don't.Eh. Not a great book, but not horrible. I can't comment if the organization of the book would be good start to finish as our professor has us jump chapters. There are a lot of graphics, almost too many. I also find it confusing when graphics are referenced on completely different pages causing you to flip back and forth. It's horribly distracting.

Paul Pdf

ISBN: 0061730580
Title: Paul Pdf A Biography
Author: N. T. Wright
Published Date: 2018-02-27
Page: 480

“An enthralling journey into the mind of Paul by one of the great theologians of our time, a work full of insight, depth and generosity of understanding.” (Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, author of Not in God’s Name)“NT Wright takes the most controversial and influential author of scripture and does something remarkable: he humanizes Paul. I was hooked from the first page.” (Mike McHargue, author of Finding God in the Waves as co-host of The Liturgists Podcast)“A compelling, erudite, and readable biography of the most seminal Christian theologian by one of today’s most celebrated Paul interpreters.” (Miroslav Volf, Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale University and author of Flourishing)“The most winsome feature is the way Wright paints Paul as a . . . three-dimensional, many-sided, complicated human being. Paul: A Biography is a bright, provocative, imaginative, and often brilliant book.” (The Gospel Coalition)“Paul is a compelling modern biography that reveals the apostle’s greater role in Christian history—as an inventor of new paradigms for how we understand Jesus and what he accomplished—and celebrates his stature as one of the most effective and influential intellectuals in human history.” (Englewood Review of Books  )“In eloquent and inviting prose, one of the world’s leading New Testament scholars retells the story behind the story, the story of the Apostle Paul. A master teacher here communicates Paul in language every reader can understand.” (Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary)“The life of one of Christianity’s founders is told by renowned biblical scholar N.T. Wright, who believes that in focusing on Paul’s letters and theology, scholars and pastors have not considered Paul as a person and in the context of his times.” (Publishers Weekly)“Written with the usual Wright combination of erudition, intuition, mature wit, and wisdom, Paul should serve us well as we seek to unlock the keys to the first great Christian theologian.” (Dr. Ben Witherington, III, Amos Professor of NT for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary)“Wright’s excellent book not only brings Paul to life but places that life in the complex and overlapping array of Jewish and non-Jewish communities, all set within the Roman empire.” (John Richardson, Emeritus Professor of Classics, University of Edinburgh)“Brings alive not only Paul but also the communities where he formed churches and the religious ideas swirling around them. . . . This highly readable volume gives those interested in biblical history something to argue about and plenty to ponder.” (Booklist (starred review)) For centuries, Paul, the apostle who “saw the light on the Road to Damascus” and changed dramatically from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Jesus, has been one of the church’s most widely cited early teachers. Yet for leading New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright, most Bible scholars and pastors have not fully grasped what Paul was actually doing and why.In focusing on Paul’s letters and theology, Wright argues, they have, in short, overlooked the essence of the man’s life and the extreme unlikelihood of what he achieved. In response, Wright offers a new way of understanding one of the most famous Christian figures. Wright draws attention to Paul the man—the man who survived assassination attempts, imprisonments, and shipwrecks all while inventing new language and concepts for faithfully translating Jesus’s story for the Gentile world. In this pioneering new account, Wright celebrates Paul’s humanity, arguing that this is the best context for understanding him and ultimately for appreciating how he invented new paradigms for how we understand Jesus. “The problem,” Wright explains, “is that while Paul is central to any understanding of early Christianity, we cannot understand him without taking full account of the pre-Christian Jewish beliefs and hopes that he believed had been fulfilled in Jesus.” Only when we consider Paul in this manner can we move on to understanding how he led the way for Christianity to conquer the Roman world. 

In this definitive biography, renowned Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N. T. Wright offers a radical look at the apostle Paul, illuminating the humanity and remarkable achievements of this intellectual who invented Christian theology—transforming a faith and changing the world.

For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "saw the light on the Road to Damascus" and made a miraculous conversion from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Christ, has been one of the church’s most widely cited saints. While his influence on Christianity has been profound, N. T. Wright argues that Bible scholars and pastors have focused so much attention on Paul’s letters and theology that they have too often overlooked the essence of the man’s life and the extreme unlikelihood of what he achieved.

To Wright, "The problem is that Paul is central to any understanding of earliest Christianity, yet Paul was a Jew; for many generations Christians of all kinds have struggled to put this together." Wright contends that our knowledge of Paul and appreciation for his legacy cannot be complete without an understanding of his Jewish heritage. Giving us a thoughtful, in-depth exploration of the human and intellectual drama that shaped Paul, Wright provides greater clarity of the apostle’s writings, thoughts, and ideas and helps us see them in a fresh, innovative way.

Paul is a compelling modern biography that reveals the apostle’s greater role in Christian history—as an inventor of new paradigms for how we understand Jesus and what he accomplished—and celebrates his stature as one of the most effective and influential intellectuals in human history.

Paul's letters teach us about Paul the Apostle Wright has knocked it out of the park with this book. There's a lot more than dates and places as Wright digs into the culture and customs in which Paul would have found himself. Many biographers seem to feel that they need to make the subject of their book appear to be a saint. Wright has painted Paul as a human being: sometimes kind and loving, sometimes angry, and often coming across as arrogant.I especially appreciated the way the Wright used Paul's letters to give more insight into Paul the Apostle, and Paul the Man.This book definitely gives me a new insight into reading and understanding the Pauline letters.Absolutely amazing!! I greatly appreciate Mr Absolutely amazing!! I greatly appreciate Mr. Wright's work and have been following, thinking, and praying about the things in which I read of his. This book is outstanding and well worth the read. I am a Minister and ALWAYS love "subtext" if you will. Just below the surface of the text where all the wonderful gems of truth are. Just waiting to be discovered and I believe Wright does a marvelous job of unearthing it. I recommend the book!I love this book like a brother Yes, the book is repetitive, as you might expect or have come to expect from someone who writes as much as NTW—repetitive within the book itself and of Wright’s major insights published elsewhere. No, there aren’t biographical bombshells; Wright doesn’t know whether Paul was married, or when and how he died, or whether he went to Spain or wrote Titus. The book takes sides on a few well-established points of debate about Paul’s life, but the sides as well as the debates are well-established. Yes, a fair bit early on, the account shades toward biographical speculation on the one hand (was Saul mystically meditating on the road to Damascus?) and cultural exposition on the other that almost loses track of the individual being biographised.But this is one of the most inspiring books I’ve read in a long time. The book turns on when Wright ties the themes of individual Pauline epistles to a reconstructed Pauline life behind them. The pathos of 2 Corinthians will never be the same—the account of 2 Corinthians is just where I fell in love with the book. Getting three or four pages on an epistle rather than two hundred seems to clarify and prioritise Wright’s style immensely. I understood much better how it all fits together, and I’ve read a lot of Wright (for instance, if you’re like me and waded through 1500+ pages of Paul and the Faithfulness of God but forgot on p. 1284 what was said on p. 1011, some repetition is a helpful aid to memory).We need a biography of Paul, and this biography, not to reduce the Pauline epistles to autobiographical source material, but to reconstruct how the man lived out his own Christ-shaped theology and ethics, and to sense from that how we might. When Paul was alive, it wasn’t obvious who Christ was (or would be to believers in a mainstream or orthodox Christianity), or what it would be like to follow Him. The drama of Paul’s life is to see that meaning of a Christlike life contested in one of the first and most important Christlike lives. Christians have been living off the victories and clarities won in and through Paul ever since.
