SEL From a Distance: Tools and Processes for Anytime, Anywhere
by Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan John E. HanniganMake social and emotional learning a way of being—all day, every day, and in any setting The pandemic and subsequent switch to distance learning combined with recent instances of racial injustice has put a spotlight on the cracks in the practice of social and emotional learning (SEL). More than ever before, schools are shifting their focus and prioritizing SEL competencies—around the nation and the world. The call for compassion has never been greater. To easily and effortlessly build SEL into virtual, blended, or in-person environments, behavior experts Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan and John Hannigan have drawn together a collection of tools and processes for SEL that can be applied in any learning environment. In SEL from a Distance, you’ll learn: The five SEL competencies and dozens of easy to use processes for building skills in each How to identify challenging behaviors and prioritize, define mastery, and teach the SEL skills necessary to address them Tips for identifying, teaching, modeling, and reinforcing SEL skills in a virtual setting Strategies for applying SEL to the needs of your unique learning environment Let this practical, easy-to-use toolkit guide you through embedding these critical SEL competencies into your virtual classrooms and make SEL a way of being for you and your students—anytime, anywhere. Endorsements from the People Who Matter Most: "My teacher told our entire class, ‘if you need someone to talk to, I am here for you.’ This was powerful to hear. I have never had a teacher say that to an entire class before." —Ani, 12th grade, Missouri "My teacher helps us use SEL strategies to relax our brains when we are feeling stressed." —Harmon, 4th grade, California

Hands-On Microservices with C# 8 and .NET Core 3: Refactor you monolith architecture into microservices using Azure, 3rd Edition
by Scott Hanselman Ed Price Gaurav AroraaLearn the essential concepts, techniques, and design patterns that will help you build scalable and maintainable distributed systems Key Features Learn to design, implement, test, and deploy your microservices Understand the challenges and complexities of testing and monitoring distributed services Build modular and robust microservice architectures with the latest features of C# 8 and .NET Core 3.1 Book Description The microservice architectural style promotes the development of complex applications as a suite of small services based on specific business capabilities. With this book, you'll take a hands-on approach to build microservices and deploy them using ASP .NET Core and Microsoft Azure. You'll start by understanding the concept of microservices and their fundamental characteristics. This microservices book will then introduce a real-world app built as a monolith, currently struggling under increased demand and complexity, and guide you in its transition to microservices using the latest features of C# 8 and .NET Core 3. You'll identify service boundaries, split the application into multiple microservices, and define service contracts. You'll also explore how to configure, deploy, and monitor microservices using Docker and Kubernetes, and implement autoscaling in a microservices architecture for enhanced productivity. Once you've got to grips with reactive microservices, you'll discover how keeping your code base simple enables you to focus on what's important rather than on messy asynchronous calls. Finally, you'll delve into various design patterns and best practices for creating enterprise-ready microservice applications. By the end of this book, you'll be able to deconstruct a monolith successfully to create well-defined microservices.
