Synopsis

In "On the Firing Line in Education," Adoniram Judson Ladd presents a compelling exploration of the education system in early 20th-century America, examining the challenges educators faced amidst societal upheaval and evolving pedagogical theories. Ladd employs a direct and engaging literary style, blending personal anecdotes with thoughtful analysis to capture the complexities of teaching and learning. The book serves as both a memoir and a critical examination, reflecting the Progressive Era's educational reforms while invoking the urgency of responsive teaching in a rapidly changing society. Adoniram Judson Ladd was an influential educator and reformer whose experiences in the classroom and academic administration profoundly shaped his views on education. Known for his commitment to instilling civic responsibility and intellectual rigor, Ladd's advocacy for educational reform emerged from his early observations of the inadequacies present in conventional schooling. His firsthand experiences, coupled with a dedication to fostering social change, informed the nuances found in his writing, making him a pivotal figure in the dialogue on education. This book is a must-read for educators, historians, and policymakers alike, offering timeless insights into the dynamics of teaching and the critical role of education in shaping future generations. Ladd's passionate call for reform resonates deeply, encouraging readers to reconsider their approaches to education and sparking vital discussions that remain relevant in today'Äôs educational landscape.

    The Heart of a Teacher is a celebration of thanks to the teachers of the world. The Heart of a Teacher is filled with inspirational stories and poems that reflect the hearts of teachers and their commitment to making a difference in each life they touch. Mac Anderson explains why he chose to publish this book: "Part of my intention in publishing our gift book for educators, Heart of a Teacher, was to honor the teachers who had made a difference in my life. Ms. Bridges, who taught me in the 4th grade, was amazing! She made learning so much fun and made all of us feel as though we could do anything we wanted to do. Years later, I still remember the impact she made on me as a young child."

    For success in school and life, students need more than proficiency in academic subjects and good scores on tests; those goals should form the floor, not the ceiling, of their education. Students need to develop attributes that aren't typically measured on standardized tests. In this lively, engaging book, educators will learn how to foster the "Formative Five" skills that today's students need, including 
     
     
     
    ● Empathy: learning to see the world through others' perspectives. 
     
     
     
    ● Self-control: cultivating the abilities to focus and delay self-gratification. 
     
     
     
    ● Integrity: recognizing right from wrong and practicing ethical behavior. 
     
     
     
    ● Embracing diversity: recognizing and appreciating human differences. 
     
     
     
    ● Grit: persevering in the face of challenge. 
     
     
     
    When educators engage students in understanding and developing these five skills, they change mindsets and raise expectations for student learning. As an added benefit, they see significant improvements in school and classroom culture. The Formative Five will help teachers, principals, and anyone else who has a stake in education prepare their students—and themselves—for a future in which the only constant will be change.
