This book will show how principals and other school leaders can‘grow’ the expertise of teachers to deliver high quality instruction that serves all students well. It introduces principals to a five-part model of effective instruction. It then shows leaders how to make use of this framework for guiding new and veteran teachers on improving lessons, instruction, and other aspects of classroom practices.

customer 's reviewEver wish you could speed read every book written on a particular topic? Well, now someone has done that for you. The Skinny on Willpower is a substantive analysis of the subject of self-discipline, told in story format. This book is the story of a young couple each with a goal that requires the development of willpower. Each struggles with their challenge but through trial and error and advice of the moderator, find the way to achieve their dreams. The author, Jim Randel, has spent thirty years studying the subjects of willpower and self-discipline. He has read every book or article on the subject, he has listened to all the CDs. He has spoken with the experts. He has interviewed superstars in movies. TV, athletics, politics and business. This book is the conclusion of his studies. In a book that can be read in about one hour, the reader will gain an incredibly valuable understanding of how to boost his or her willpower. Selected as one of the 9 Self-Helpers for 2009, by the New York Daily News. This book will take you to a new level of insight into why some people are able to achieve their goals and dreams and others are not. As said by Teddy Roosevelt: The one quality which sets one apart from another the key which lifts one to every aspiration while others are caught up in the mire of mediocrity is not talent, formal education, nor intellectual brightness; it is self-discipline. With self-discipline, all things are possible. Without it, even the simplest goal can seem like the impossible dream.
"Don't let the stick figures fool you - The Skinny on Willpower is a funny book that offers up some seriously good information on how to declutter your brain and discipline yourself to achieve your personal and professional goals. Jim Randel will have you laughing and thinking at the same time. A very enjoyable read!" --Ken Blanchard, Co-author, The One Minute Manager and The One Minute Entrepreneur
"Great Book. Quick read and easy to understand. All you will ever need to know about willpower and self-discipline." --Richard Harrington, Former CEO Thomson Reuters
"I have known Jim for 25 years. He not only has amazing mental fortitude and lives the life he preaches, he also has an in-depth knowledge of these subjects and plenty of credibility to write this book." --Dwight Stones, 3-time Olympian, 10-time World Record Holder, Broadcaster Rerations < The Skinny on Willpower: How to Develop Self Discipline >

customer 's reviewThis is what they didn't teach you at the Camera store. Want to become a better photographer? What do you have to do to improve? Do you need to learn the basics? Or refine your skills?
This is the book for you. It covers camera technique, from composition to advanced modes that will help you become a better photographer and improve your pictures.
If you really want to become a better photographer, you need to spend time practicing and learning how to properly use your camera to its full potential. This book will teach you to get off of automatic and achieve great results. The truth is, everyone who has the passion and desire can become a great photographer. The only real difference between professionals and novices is desire and dedication. This book will take your knowledge to a level where you can talk with other photographers and know what you are talking about. Your friends will ask you how you take such great photographs. And best of all, you will know that what makes you a great photographer, is not your camera, but your own creativity and passion. Don't be fooled by all the fancy technology out there, it is useful but it is useless if you are not equipped with the knowledge to properly use it. This book will give you the tools you need to develop your skills, one shot at a time.

< How to Develop Advanced Psychic Abilities: Obtain Information about the Past, Present and Future Through Clairvoyance >

Winter Tempest Books(2012-04-12)
customer 's reviewAdvanced psychic abilities help us to live fuller more aware lives. They set human beings apart from the animals and when they function at a high level, they enable us to achieve that which seems beyond the ordinary. Great artists, composers and inventors all make use of them. Such abilities are a complex faculty involving the use of the whole mind on different planes or frequencies to receive explicit information through clairvoyance, clairaudience and claircognizance.
"How to Develop Advanced Psychic Abilities" defines and discusses the benefits of advanced psychic abilities and how they have been applied by others to effect change in the real world. It looks at catalysts for spontaneous development of this faculty, as well as methods of stimulating your abilities through diet and detoxification. It discusses meditation, tools and methods for rapidly advancing psychic abilities and gives practical advice for living in the day-to-day world with these abilities.
Note from the Author: This is a more intermediate book on psychic development. It is intended for people who already have some basic abilities, for example, empathic traits and ability to visualize colors and shapes when they close their eyes. There are many "E.S.P. for Beginners" books on the market and absolute beginners would probably benefit from reading something more introductory to general psychic development, first.

Usually ships in 24 hours customer 's reviewNamed One of Shutterbug Magazines Top Digital Imaging Books of 2008!Capturing an image and getting the right exposure is critical and Jeff Wignall recognizes exposure as the secret for creating an image that captures a vision and shares it with the world. When you apply his techniques with patience, experimentation, and a focus on the outcome, you will begin creating images that reveal not only what you saw, but how you felt when you saw it. In fact according to Shutterbug magazine Exposure Photo Workshop“may be the best book yet written about exposure.” By learning to work with natural light as well as when to use flash you will confidently capture action, night scenes, rainbows, sunsets, and reflections like never before. With stunning images, Jeff Wignall shows you how to perfectly expose pictures in even the most challenging existing light conditions, including poor weather, using a flash, and even a section guiding you through using multiple wireless flash units. You can upload your own images to Photoworkshop.com and get feedback from other photographers. Wignall starts by explaining the fundamentals of exposure and why it’s important. This leads into learning the basics of exposure controls. By the end of chapter 2, you will know how to control the exposure on your point-and-shoot or digital SLR camera. Chapter 3 walks readers through measuring light using just about any light meter and Chapter 4 delves into lensapertures and depth of field. The focus moves to shutter speed and subject motion. After Chapter 6, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to turn off your camera’s automatic settings and take manual control. Wignall then examines natural light exposures, discussing the intricacies of light quality, light direction, and time of day. As you approach more advanced exposure options, you’ll need the troubleshooting advice provided in Chapter 8, covering difficult situations such as metering challenges, handling contrast, and creating dramatic silhouettes. With more advanced techniques mastered, you can then approach night and low-light conditions and then examine special considerations such as the weather and natural phenomena. The book finishes strong with a comprehensive look at all things flash photography. Rerations < Exposure Photo Workshop: Develop Your Digital Photography Talent >
