How to be a Legendary Teacher Adam Prociv Balboa Press Adam Prociv learned quickly that the energy he exuded in the classroom had a huge impact on the young children he was teaching. In How to be a Legendary Teacher, he explores how educators can inspire students and help them learn, starting with the way they approach each day. As a teacher, your primary role is to create good energy, which can be as simple as your body language. Ask yourself if you are a teacher you’d enjoy being taught by (and if the answer is no) then do some soul searching. Throughout this guide to being a better teacher, aspiring classroom instructors will learn how to: Spark meaningful conversations among students; Engage students in creative projects that promote learning; Decide if you went into teaching for the right reasons and if you should stay; Navigate the numerous obstacles to teaching. The teaching game is a process of trial and error, and while some lucky souls have a natural flare for the profession, others don’t. But just like anything in life, success doesn’t necessarily come to those with the most talent but to those with the will and determination to be a legendary teacher. With almost 15 years in early childhood education, and 8 years in primary education, Adam Prociv also maintains an informative web site at adamprociv.com.

Pedal Pushers Coast-to-Coast
Marianne Worth Rudd Author House For 32 years, Marianne Worth Rudd dreamed about cycling cross country, almost as long as she’s known her husband, Terry. She thought the bike trip was about getting to the Atlantic. They expected snow, lightning, heat, and wind while bicycling cross country. That happened. What they did not expect was a car collision, a broken arm, or Hurricane Sandy. That happened, too. Pedal Pushers Coast-to-Coast is the story of their 2012 cycling quest from the Pacific to the Atlantic, chronicling the challenges, joys, and surprises of their 4,500-mile, 12-week bicycle journey. Personal quirks became quirkier. Pain and grief unexpectedly seized the trip mid-way with a car collision and broken arm for Terry, but three months later, their quest resumed- on a snowy October day in northern Minnesota. From once coast to another, Marianne (Mari) and Terry experienced not only the changing terrain and state borders, but an elation far more
gratifying than just reaching destinations – they discovered the curiosity and kindness of strangers, and the lasting impact. From simple gifts of root beer and oranges on a hot day, to shelter from a lightning storm and random invitations countrywide for meals and lodging, strangers offered unexpected generosity and care throughout their travels. The book chronicles a transcontinental cycling adventure marked by challenge, resilience and hope, and illustrates the outpouring of kindness and generosity from strangers across the continent. Marianne Worth Rudd is a veteran of self-supported bike touring in North America, Europe and New Zealand. She’s completed three cross-country U.S. bike trips-two with her husband, and one as solo cyclist. She maintains a website at thepedalpushers.net
