Many, perhaps even most, schools are not reaching their potential to be places of collective learning. The authors believe that one of the greatest impediments to realizing this vision is the deleterious effect of traditional systems of teacher evaluation. Rather than infantilizing teachers, we need to empower them. This book shows educators how.

The Justice Anthology - Part I brings together two works from Kindle in one exciting edition. William Powell is proud to present the first phase of "The Justice Saga" with "45 Days" and "Descent Into Madness"! 45 DAYS After World War 3 comes to an end & England is outcast from Great Britain, Vincent must struggle to come to terms with working as a hitman-for-hire for his ruthless boss, who rules the country with an iron fist. DESCENT INTO MADNESS The tale of Dean Moxley is not for the faint of heart - the self-appointed leader of the Rebellion that The Dictator of England plans to destroy, Moxley soon finds that he cannot run forever, and is soon captured by Vincent Williams. What follows is a tale of two halves, with us diving into the mind of Moxley as he is is subjected to unspeakable violence. However, a conflicted Vincent Williams speaks on having to dish out such torture to Moxley, and what makes this hitman-for-hire tick is explored even further. Death waits for no man. Join us on the beginning of an incredible journey, as the "Justice Saga" begins!

A novel of adventure and intrigue set in East Africa during World War One. From the Forward: "I want this story told because someone needs to set the record straight about my mother and my aunt. Almost everything that has been written about them is at best inaccurate, at worst a pack of self-serving lies. Even Powell will agree to that... A case in point is the article that appeared in the British Tanganyika Notes and Records in the 1950s that maintains that my mother was a cold-blooded killer and little more than a common highway bandit. There can be no question that my mother killed-both animals (she was a highly skilled big game hunter before the Great War) and humans. Some of the things she carried out do not make pleasant reading, but it was war and things like that happen in wartime. She was never a common bandit! Probably what I am most concerned about in terms of this book is Powell's proclivity to sensationalize. I see no reason to expose the sordid side of my aunt's early life. But Powell was stone-deaf to my entreaties. He actually wears hearing aids and will turn them off when he doesn't want to hear something. "Sex and violence sell books," he kept repeating. I am genuinely sorry, Malaika, if this story offends. I've done my best to influence Powell. But ready or not, the story needs to be told. If we don't know where we have come from, we can't have a clue where we are going. The story of Chui and Sadaka begins with a question and a gunshot. -Abraham Wesselhus Nutley, New Jersey, 2011

William Powell wrote The Anarchist Cookbook in 1969 at the age of nineteen. It included everything from making bombs to brewing LSD in the bathroom. On publication, it was hailed variously as "outrageous," "extremely dangerous," "communist," and "the most irresponsible publishing venture in American history." It also became an overnight bestseller. Powell's memoir chronicles the atmosphere of the 1960's counterculture--the Civil Rights Movement was at its height and the federal government was engaged in a brutal and entirely unnecessary war in Southeast Asia. The zeitgeist was radicalization, and the watchword was revolution, and Powell left an enduring record of his thoughts and anger in the shape of The Anarchist Cookbook. The Cookbook: Coming of Age in Turbulent Times portrays Powell's rebellious adolescence, political radicalization, the publication of the book, the firestorm of controversy that followed, and how it shadowed his entire life. He explores his feelings and the lessons learned, and how he went on to help hundreds of children all over the world in education.

This fascinating book, written by two experts in school improvement, is for teachers and school leaders who are looking for ways to raise the organizational intelligence quotient (OIQ) of their classrooms and their schools. It is ideal for those who perceive themselves as the facilitators of learning - for students, for colleagues and for themselves. If schools are to be transformed and transformative, teacher-learners will lead the way. Simplistic and superficial approaches to improving student learning simply don't work. School improvement isn't a technical challenge; it is an adaptive one. It requires a change not just in behaviors and skills, but in values, beliefs and even identity.
