A deliciously imaginative story about friendship-from the author - illustrator of The Scrambled States of America. Arnie was fascinated as he watched the customers stream into the bakery. One by one, doughnuts were chosen, placed in paper bags, and whisked away with their new owners. Some went by the dozen in giant boxes. "Good-bye!" Arnie yelled to each doughnut. "Have a good trip!" "This is so exciting!" Arnie beamed. "I wonder who will choose ME?" At first glance, Arnie looks like an average doughnut-round, cakey, with a hole in the middle, iced and sprinkled. He was made by one of the best bakeries in town, and admittedly his sprinkles are candy-colored. Still, a doughnut is just a doughnut, right? WRONG! Not if Arnie has anything to say about it. And, for a doughnut, he sure seems to have an awful lot to say. Can Arnie change the fate of all doughnuts-or at least have a hand in his own future? Well, you'll just have to read this funny story and find out for yourself.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477845http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478060Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478060http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475716Description: From the moment she emerged, fully grown, from the head of Zeus, Athena was one of the most complex Olympians.

Since 1990, Teach For America has been building a movement to end educational inequity in America. Now its founder, Wendy Kopp, shares the lessons learned from the experiences of more than 25,000 teachers and alumni who have taught and led schools in low-income communities . This book cuts through the noise of today's debates to describe what it will take to provide transformational education--education that changes the academic and life trajectories predicted by children's socioeconomic backgrounds. Kopp's experiences and insights also shine light on why we have not made more progress against educational inequity--how and why the misguided quest for easy answers actually distracts from the hard work--and on what we need to do now to increase the pace of change.--From publisher description.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480393http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479448Description: Traces the life and work of the British biologist made famous by his controversial theory of natural selection.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479448http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490324Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=490324http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475915Description: "[Program 1] shows how teachers get off to a good start with a new class by establishing rules and procedures involving students in setting these expectations for behavior.

How did standardized tests become the measure of performance in our public schools? In this work, the author attempts to answer this question by analyzing the development of standardized testing, from the days of Horace Mann and Alfred Binet to the current scene. Approaching the issue from a sociohistorical perspective, the author demonstrates the ways standardized testing has been used to serve the interests of the governing class by attaching a performance-based value to people and upholding inequality in American society. The book also discusses the implications that a restructuring of standardized testing would have on the future of education, specifically what it could do to eliminate the measure of individual worth based on performance.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=480398http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475581Description: An introduction to the people, history, geography, natural history, and other features of the Midwest section of the United States.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475581http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=498806Description: The kids in Room 207 take advantage of their teacher's good nature until she disappears and they are faced with a vile substitute.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=498806http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476407Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=476407http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475709Description: Fifteen-year-old Miss Penelope Lumley, a recent graduate of the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, is hired as governess to three young children who have been raised by wolves and must teach them to behave in a civilized manner quickly, in preparation for a Christmas ball.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=475709http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479441Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=479441http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477764Description: http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=477764http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=489686Description: In this book the author argues that a strong connection to nature is essential for human health. Supported by research, anecdotal evidence, and personal stories, the author shows how tapping into the restorative powers of the natural world can boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies; and ultimately strengthen human bonds. He outlines seven precepts he calls the "Nature Principle", which include balancing technology excess with time in nature; a mind/body/nature connection, which he calls "vitamin N," that enhances physical and mental health; expanding our sense of community to include all living things; and purposefully developing a spiritual, psychological, physical attachment to a region and its natural history. The book presents examples of these precepts, from studies of how exposure to a common soil bacteria increases production of serotonin in the brain to designing shopping malls inspired by termite mounds.http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=489686http://pilot.passhe.edu:8031/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?bbid=478053Description:
