(The first biography for children ages 12 plus. Written by...)
The first biography for children ages 12 plus. Written by a journalist, it is a straight account of the life of the founder of the Christian Science Church, from birth to death. Illustrated with both photographs and drawings most of which are appearing for the first time. Even long-time students of Christian Science will learn something new about this remarkable woman. Before starting the manuscript, Cynthia interviewed children age 12 plus asking them what they would want to know Mary Baker Eddy. The first draft was reviewed by several children who all thought it did not contain sufficient information. Ten thousand words later several children pronounced it now worthy of publication.

(We all learn to read and do math using oral, visual, and ...)
We all learn to read and do math using oral, visual, and kinesthetic methods. Some of us favor one method over another, and for the most part group teaching depends heavily on oral/aural and visual methods. Hence, pupils who need kinesthetic instruction don't get enough of it - they don't get the time, supervision, and emphasis they truly need. Very very few individuals who are basically kinesthetic learners choose teaching as a profession at the elementary school level. Most teachers choose teaching because they did learn easily how to read as oral & visual learners, and they sorely need a recipe book to guide them in the appropriate use of kinesthetic teaching methods. They need a recipe book that teaches the teacher how to teach the kinesthetic learner step-by-careful-step!

A major theme of education reform in the United States is that schools should prepare students to live in a democratic society. To this end, 'service learning' is designed to encourage young people to become responsible, caring citizens. At present, however, service learning tends to be restricted to assigning students to community service projects. In this book Cynthia Parsons argues that service learning should be regarded as part of - not additional to - school requirements. She offers a range of alternative, curriculum-based examples of service learning to broaden the understanding and scope of this reform principle.
