Welcome to your cognitive revolution. I am so glad that you found your way to this Guide. Parents and educators have been laboring in a cognitive world for a long time with tools that were designed for a behaviorist world. The Brain-Based Classroom Practical Guide works in the classroom as well as in the home. With this easy-to-use guide colorful layout, your children will experience positive leaps in autonomy, mastery, and purpose. The two-page-spread is simple and effective. A behavioral issue is discussed on the left page - the solution to support the child as they navigate away from that behavior is described on the right page. When we align information about the human brain with a teaching and learning model that is brain-aligned, learning spaces ignite. The insights that are in this guide are not invented out of thin air. Nor are they solely theoretical. All strategies, hints, and suggestions come from hands-on trial-and-error experiences from parents and teachers who have already walked this journey. They attended in-person, face-to-face institute coursework with hundreds of other educators. Together, in an immersive learning space, they figured out how to implement a cognitive teaching and learning model, and can deliver powerful strategies even in deeply entrenched behaviorist school systems.Results are always significant, and often breathtaking. The goal is twofold: (i) eliminate labeling and stratification in classrooms, and (ii) increase teacher capacity in a new educational field where neuroscience informs classroom practice and processes.The Practical Guide theme focuses on changing environments, rather than changing the child. We promote appetite over aptitude, and affect over effect. That might sound strange but all parents find that it works; all teachers realize that it was the missing link in classroom management. Appetite refers to what turns the child on. It could be fun things like science or simply being outdoors with puppy. Aptitude follows on from this appetite. Affect is psychology for emotion; effect is usually the grade. Put emotional connection first and the grade will follow.

The Brain-Based Classroom translates findings from educational neuroscience into a new paradigm of practices suitable for any teacher. The human brain is a site of spectacular capacity for joy, motivation, and personal satisfaction, but how can educators harness its potential to help children reach truly fulfilling goals? Using this innovative collection of brain-centric strategies, teachers can transform their classrooms into deep learning spaces that support their students through self-regulation and mindset shifts. These fresh insights will help teachers resolve classroom management issues, prevent crises and disruptive behaviors, and center social-emotional learning and restorative practices.

Historians, archaeologists and experts have presented us with a consensus view of many of the world's ancient sites, their construction and their uses. However, mystery still surrounds these places. Questions about their purpose and what occurred there remain to be answered. SPIRIT TRAVELER takes a unique approach to analysing why famous historic sites, including the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge and Tiwanaku, were constructed. Much of the mystery about them remains unsolved and questions surrounding their purpose have lingered through the centuries. SPIRIT TRAVELER offers a completely different perspective on the purpose of these sites and the reasons for their construction and is the companion book to the documentary Spirit Traveler which will be released around the same time as the book. In SPIRIT TRAVELER , Sonja discusses eight specific historical sites: Skellig Michael (Ireland), Tiwanaku - The Gate of the Sun (Bolivia), Stonehenge (England), Hagar Qim (Malta), St. Winifride's Well (Wales), Chichen ltza and Temple of Kukulcan (Mexico), The Great Khafre Pyramids (Egypt) and the Rock of Cashel (Ireland) and answers the questions that have puzzled historians and archaeologists for hundreds of years: What was the purpose of Stonehenge? How were the Great Pyramids built and why is their particular geometry so significant? Why was Skellig Rock so important to the monks? Have our beliefs about these great sites been wrong all along? Is their importance something other than what we have always thought? Sonja Grace's discoveries shine a whole new light on our historical understanding of these places and on their relationships to the Earth.

This is a book about the use of classical rhetoric in reading Paul. It begins with a useful review of the various strategies, and, in the light of the issues that emerge, it describes a rhetorical method which is then tested on 2 Corinthians 8-9. Here, the advice of the classical rhetorical manuals for constructing a text is used-in reverse order-so as to uncover the persuasive strategy being used by Paul in this case. This technique leads to a quite new reading of the two chapters, which O'Mahony then proceeds to test against the standard work in the field by Hans Dieter Betz.
