Discipline is one of the most confusing words in the English language because, while a very important word, it has two almost opposite, and therefore confusing, uses - punishment and training. But, in any case, the normal connotation is one of bad not good, dread not delight - even if the ultimate objective (to properly train) is good, the process of discipline, to get there, is considered agony. It is too often considered a 4-letter, dirty, word synonymous with pain (and certainly, most people feel, something to grow out of as we age). Properly and maturely view, however, discipline is not punishment - rather it is what keeps us from being punished! Discipline is the tool of self-control - without discipline we will not achieve the focus of effort necessary for any meaningful accomplishment.

The Bible is a large book. But, it shrinks quickly (becoming clearer and more understandable) when we discover and consider its themes (plots and subplots) as we read and seek to follow it.

"History," "lessons," "sayings," "annals," "accounts," "narrative," "story," "chronicles," "record" . . . God had many options to choose as an analogy for His Word - He chose Gospel (Good News) because it is indeed news and good - in contrast to the bad news we hear all the time! It is not coincidental (almost humorous) that God uses the term "Gospel" (Good News) to describe His Word and message - which has more meaning in the early 21st Century than ever before. There has never been a greater need for Good News than now - even with (and maybe because of) our unprecedented wealth, leisure and comfort. CHAUTAUQUA HEADLINE NEWS is written to help show the Gospel is indeed Good News - not as a replacement for reading the Bible, but to assist the Bible reader see its critical relevance in the everyday trials of life.

Futureproof shows school leaders and teachers how they can educate for digital citizenship through the adoption of a new, comprehensive and coherent framework. The book addresses a gap as there are currently no well-known frameworks that provide a comprehensive approach to teaching digital citizenship education in UK schools. This is surprising given how digital technologies are part and parcel of most young people's lives today and will continue to be so in the future. Given that the technologies are constantly changing, it might be said that those responsible for teaching digital citizenship are shooting in the dark whilst trying to hit a moving target. The book brings clarity by explaining the theory and research behind the Futureproof framework, and through its focus on how it can be implemented in primary and secondary schools. The book includes details of the digital citizenship framework, an overview of learning and teaching outcomes and examples from practice throughout. The main features of Futureproof are it: introduces a new practical digital citizenship education framework for primary and secondary schools that addresses digital risks and opportunities together and holistically. addresses key concerns in ways that relate to digital citizenship, including, issues of online safety and security, digital literacy, online crime, employment, cyberbullying, online harms, digital wellbeing, e-learning, and civic and political participation. adopts a character strengths-based approach preparing young people for their future lives and work. is not deficit-based - it celebrates the positives of digital technologies and how they can contribute to individual and societal flourishing and wellbeing. aligns with current policy on online safety from the UK Department for Education (DfE), the Living in the Connected World Framework as well as advice from other prominent organisations. is hands on and practical - it provides a step-by-step approach and shows, by using examples, how school leaders, teachers and others working in education can implement the framework. is grounded in established theory and underpinned by research and evidence.
