Enfrente a sus gigantes: Dios aún hace lo imposible
by Max LucadoEn Enfrente a sus gigantes, Max Lucado utiliza la historia de David para ayudarle a aprender a permitir que Dios trabaje con usted y para usted, y para recordarle para quién es usted y quién es en Él. Usted es visto, amado y cuidado por el Dios que todavía hace lo imposible.Usted conoce a su Goliat. Reconoce su andar, el trueno de su voz.Le burla con cuentas que no puede pagar, personas que no puede complacer, hábitos que no puede romper, fracasos que no puede olvidar y un futuro que no puede enfrentar. Pero al igual que David, usted puede enfrentarse a su gigante, incluso si no es el más fuerte, el más inteligente, el mejor equipado, de los más santos.Si usted se enfoca en los gigantes: tropezará; si se enfoca en Dios: sus gigantes caerán.Si está listo para enfrentar a sus gigantes, deje que su historia le inspire. El mismo Dios que lo ayudó a él, lo ayudará a usted.Facing Your GiantsIn Facing Your Giants, Max Lucado uses the story of David to help you learn how to allow God to work with and for you, and to remind you of who you are to and in Him. You are seen, loved, and cared for by the God who still does the impossible.You know your Goliath. You recognize his walk, the thunder of his voice.He taunts you with bills you can't pay, people you can't please, habits you can't break, failures you can't forget, and a future you can't face. But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren't the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, of the holiest.Focus on giants–you stumble; focus on God–your giants tumble.If you're ready to face your giants, let His story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.

Engaged Research and Practice: Higher Education and the Pursuit of the Public Good
by John C. Burkhardt Penny A. Pasque Betty OvertonWhat practices can researchers use to gain a more nuanced understanding of educational issues in the community and be part of the solution to those issues?Engaged Research and Practice is about two prevailing and complementary ideas that have surfaced in the higher education arena: engaged research and higher education for the public good. Engaged research is scholarship that not only attempts to open up new knowledge, but it does so with a sense that the new knowledge, insight and directions have a direct relationship to needs and problems within our communities, institutions, and policy arenas. Engaged, actionable, or participatory research and scholarship attempts to tackle the identified issues of our communities and society. This handbook offers important insights and tangible examples of how higher education leaders may work directly with communities and in policy settings to understand the deeper meanings often lost in conversations about educational opportunity. Each chapter addresses the ways in which faculty, community and administrative leaders may connect research and practice through unique research projects. The authors offer clear explanations of "how" their engaged research was conducted to illustrate explicit pathways for practitioners. This book also includes short narratives where authors involved with this research reflect on their experiences and the lessons they have learned while immersed in community and policy related work.

Engagement in Teaching History: Theory and Practices for Middle and Secondary Teachers
by Frederick D. Drake Lynn R. NelsonHow can history be taught effectively? Does knowing about the past give meaning to the present and hints to what will happen in the future? This book responds to these questions as it explores the key elements of history instruction–the use of primary sources and narratives, involving students in the historical inquiry through classroom discussions, teaching toward chronological thinking, and the use of historical documents to develop in students a “detective approach” to solving historical problems. Taking a systematic approach to improve students’ historical thinking, this book emphasizes certain strategies that will help students know more about the past in ways that will help them in their lives today. <P><P> The second edition is organized in three parts–Part One describes the theoretical background to teaching history. Part Two, Planning and Assessment, emphasizes the importance of good organization and lesson planning as well as how to assess students’ knowledge, reasoning power, and effective use of communication in the history classroom. Part Three, Instruction, focuses on the use of primary sources, class discussions, incorporating photographs and paintings, and writing in teaching history. Both the study of history and the teaching of history are multifaceted. The author’s hope in writing this book is to engage new and experienced teachers in thoughtful discourse regarding the teaching and learning of history and to develop lifelong learners of history in the 21st century.

Engagierte Beweglichkeit
by Susanne May Timm C. Feld Susanne Kraft Wolfgang SeitterAusbau und Verstetigung einer inklusiven Bildungsinfrastruktur für das Lernen Erwachsener sind dezidierte Aufgaben öffentlicher Weiterbildung. Grundversorgung, Zugänglichkeit und Bildungsgerechtigkeit signalisieren die politisch-gesellschaftliche Dimension der Aufgabenstellung, ein effizientes Management die ökonomische Dimension. Beide Perspektiven stehen im Zentrum dieses Bandes, der Klaus Meisel zum 60. Geburtstag gewidmet ist. Engagierte Beweglichkeit kann in institutioneller Perspektive als gleichzeitige Fokussierung auf Infrastruktur- und Angebotsgestaltung für das Lernen Erwachsener und auf wirtschaftlicheRessourcenoptimierung und Sparsamkeit gedeutet werden. In professioneller Perspektive verweist sie auf das habitualisierte Handeln der verantwortlichen Akteure, die nicht nur die Gestaltung des Lernens, sondern auch die Gestaltung in und an der Organisation in Bewegung bringen.
