After her sojourn in the Middle East – detailed in Lessons Learned by the same author – maths teacher Claire Shaw moves to Florida to fulfil her dream of living and teaching in America. Unfortunately, things there without her beloved husband Richard are not as she pictured them. She is instantly recognised as an outsider in this new environment: the school is like nothing she has ever experienced, the kids range from the sublime to the ridiculous and she”s plagued by expense and bureaucracy – not to mention loneliness. Will the new friends she has made be enough for her to feel at home?

Invitations has encouraged and supported thousands of K-12 educators in the change process. The text (the white pages) provides in-depth information for putting whole language theory into practice, as well as step-by-step demonstration lessons for topics such as becoming a whole language teacher; shared reading and shared writing for all grades; guided reading – whole class, small group, and individualized; grouping for success; using literature meaningfully; developing literature extension activities; responding to literature through literature response logs and discussion groups; setting up an independent reading program; teaching phonics and skills strategically; journal writing, letter writing, and story writing for authentic purposes; integrating spelling into the language arts; getting the publishing process going in the classroom and in the school; integrating the language arts through literature and across the curriculum; understanding and utilizing meaningful evaluation procedures for teachers and students – anecdotal records, grading, and self-evaluation; applying holistic strategies to L.D. students and at-risk learners; organizing and managing the whole language classroom; and establishing teacher support groups and other support networks. Each chapter in the book is written in a knowledgeable, personal voice and is complete in itself. Chapters can be read in any order to suit individual needs. Now, the section of Invitations known as The Blue Pages has been updated, expanded, and revised to provide the most comprehensive annotated teacher resources available in one place. It includes the latest and best children’s and young adult literature K-12 including manymulticultural titles and supplemental lists; professional texts; assessment and evaluation books and resources; spelling books and resources; math, science, and social studies resources; journals, journal articles, newsletters; literacy extension resources that support the integration of the language arts across the curriculum; and extensive and practical appendices for classroom use.

P– IInterfaces/I/PPSpatial optimization is a methodology used to maximize or minimize a management objective, given the limited area, finite resources, and spatial relationships in an ecosystem. Optimization approaches can be used to evaluate a great variety of options and allow tradeoff analyses that might be impossible with other methods. /PPThis book presents ideas and methods for directly optimizing the spatial layout of the landscape features in which an ecosystem functions. The problems Hof and Bevers address are complex, and the book relies heavily on mathematical presentations; the ideas are explained in a tutorial fashion that allows readers to grasp the general principals even if they skip the math. The first of four parts treats static spatial relationships that reflect the importance of shape, size, and proximity within an ecosystem. Part 2 considers spatial autocorrelation in a chance-constrained modeling framework. Part 3 discusses dynamic spatial changes within modeled ecosystems, and the final section focuses on diversity and sustainability. Although most discussion concerns wildlife habitat issues, the authors also include chapters on recreation, timber management, water runoff, and pest management./PPThis book presents ideas and methods for directly optimizing the spatial layout of the landscape features in which an ecosystem functions.
