This study investigates the experience of student engagement in high school classrooms ? both the influences on engagement as well as the short-term and long-term educational outcomes resulting from engagement. The experiences of 526 tenth and twelfth grade students enrolled in 13 U.S. high schools during the 1990s were examined. Data were gathered using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) and student interviews. Students reported higher engagement during individual and group work than while listening to the teacher lecture, watching a video, or taking a test ? and also during their non-academic classes such as art, computer science and vocational education compared to their traditional academic classes. Engagement also predicted long-term continuing motivation and college performance. Over all, results suggested that activities and classrooms that combined academic intensity with features that provoke a positive emotional response are more likely to engage students the short term and the long term.

Good Mentoring offers an in-depth analysis of the way mentors transmit not only knowledge and skills but the guiding values that support good work and social responsibility. The book clearly shows how these values are passed along to those they guide. Profiling three lineages of scientists passing their professional skills, values, and practices down through generations, the book reveals what constitutes successful mentoring in science and beyond. Stemming from a first-of-its-kind study by the GoodWork Project, the book shows how the cultivation of professional ethics and excellence depends on teachers and mentors and the learning environments they foster.

(The eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano in the Philipp...)
The eruption of the Mount Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines in April of 1991 was a major disaster for the country and the people. 1.2 million people lost their homes, jobs, shops or farms. Most people in the area were unaware that Mt. Pinatubo was a dormant volcano until the eruption. -- The Shernoff Family published this book to help raise rescue and rehabilitation funds for the people. Pictures are of the area before and after the eruption, and show the effects not only on the physical structures, but on the mental states of the victims. Wonderful color photographs coupled with descriptive text and poems.
