UC Hornbooks and Inkwells


Book Description

Life in an eighteenth-century one-room schoolhouse might be different from today-but like any other pair of siblings, brothers Peter and John Paul get up to plenty of mischief! Readers follow the two as they work with birch-bark paper and hornbooks, play tricks on each other, get in trouble, and celebrate when John Paul learns to read and write. Verla Kay's trademark short and evocative verse and S. D. Schindler's lively art add humor and character to the classic schoolhouse scenes, and readers will love discovering the differences-and similarities- to their own school days.

FROM COFFEE RUN TO CAIRO:


Book Description

The pages of this book bring to life the dynamics of learning, experiences, interaction, leading, and envisioning the applications of essential principles and concepts to enhance teaching, educational administration and leadership in achieving a desired mission. The cultures of the United States and the Middle East provide the contexts to convey the happenings of a lifetime. The diversity of human interactions has enriched experiences which shaped responses and forward movement to realize the potential of individuals engaged in these opportunities. History will reflect the essential results achieved which frees others to expand the scope of these endeavors. To launch a new American school in Cairo, Egypt, from "scratch" was the capstone of my educational and leadership career. To do so, I took each step while drawing upon ´everything´ I had ever experienced.
