"Dear Dale... A Tribute to a Friend in Letters and Photographs" is a compilation of what was posted on a Facebook group entitled, "Dear Dale..." that his mother created when her son turned septic in the hospital, fighting to stay alive. Though he remained in a paralytic state, and remained heavily sedated and could not respond but with faint blinks of the eye, thousands of people around the world stood watch and prayed for their dear friend, Dale. This book is a tribute to a man who lived his life fully in the 31 years that were given to him, and touched hundreds of thousands of lives by simply sharing a unique unconditional love for his fellow man, and also the love of his Savior, Jesus Christ. Many lives were changed because of this one man and how he dared to live differently. Many lives came to say their farewell to a man who had touched them deeply, and were never the same again.

This second edition, especially with its extension into evaluating the learning goals of departments and general education programs, will make it even more valuable for everyone working to improve teaching and learning in higher education." —L. Dee Fink, author, Creating Significant Learning Experiences "Informed by encounters with hundreds of faculty in their workshops, these two accomplished teachers, assessors, and faculty developers have created another essential text. Current faculty, as well as graduate students who aspire to teach in college, will carry this edition in a briefcase for quick reference to scores of examples of classroom teaching and assessment techniques and ways to use students' classroom work in demonstrating departmental and institutional effectiveness." —Trudy W. Banta, author, Designing Effective Assessment
This book shares stories of creative inventions by Aboriginal narrative therapists and community workers, including the 'Shame Mat', the 'Language Tree of Life', 'Conversations with Lateral Violence', and 'Narrative community gatherings'. These significant innovations are expanding the field of narrative practice, not only in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contexts, but also across cultures and internationally.Significantly, this book also illustrates how narrative practices are being used by Aboriginal communities to decolonise identity stories, to move beyond mental health labels, and to step out of missionary rules and closets of shame.In this book you will find moving stories from individuals who are finding ways to have conversations with those who have passed on, or who are undertaking profound journeys away from the effects of alcohol and abuse. You will also read descriptions of community projects in which hard-won knowledge and skills in surviving injustices are being shared across communities and oceans.We invite you to see narrative practice through Aboriginal eyes. This is both spiritual and political practice.
Reading Rainbow is one of the most successful PBS children’s series in television history, earning numerous national and international awards including 26 Emmy’s and a Peabody Award. But perhaps more important than anything else, Reading Rainbow helped generations of children cultivate a love for books.The brainchild of co-author Tony Buttino, Reading Rainbow is very much a story of humble beginnings and enormous perseverance. Over five summers, co-author Tony Buttino and his colleagues at WNED-TV, the public television station in Buffalo, New York, worked in collaboration with educators and librarians to experiment with summer reading programs. But after finding these programs inadequate, WNED staffers realized they had to create their own show. After fits and starts, and enough twists and turns to fill a children’s book, Reading Rainbow premiered in the summer of 1983 and captured the attention of 6.5 million young viewers worldwide. Reading Rainbow Stories explores the many intriguing and homespun stories that, when woven together, reveal how this groundbreaking and iconic television series came to be. What led to the series being called “Reading Rainbow”? How did the road to Reading Rainbow wind its way through MisterRogers’ Neighborhood? How did a public television station in Buffalo spearhead a revolution in education and spark the passion for reading in millions of children? And, what does lasagna have to do with it?Brimming with behind-the-scenes stories, never-before-seen photographs, Buttino’s own first-person tales, and original interviews with those who worked on the series’ development– from local educators and librarians to the national production team – Reading Rainbow Stories gives readers an inside look the foundational work, origin, and history of the beloved television show that still inspires readers today.
