Just a Teachershares the voices of our children, describing how teachers change lives every day. OEA award-winning educator, David Tourzan relates the ongoing struggles and daily victories from over 20 years of public school teaching. At times painful, these compelling, intimate stories show both the great potential and inherent limits of hopeful empowerment. Just a Teacher's brutally honest account of rural, low-income schools is both inspiring and entertaining, with a blend of comedy and simmering indignation. Tourzan confronts major obstacles to improving education in the United States as he takes on underfunded schools, overtested students, union bureaucracy, school lunches, and even student body fluids. The full spectrum of teaching is revealed in unflinching detail.> "David Tourzan's writing subtly invites us to our own reflection by his spirited and passionate self-reflections. He provides details of a slice of Americana. The kids he speaks of in his vignettes are caught in the cross current of an unhealthy society, a reality that is oft repeated in countless communities across this country. He provides solutions and practices that can and must be implemented in our nation's schools if we are to survive as a culture. Above all, David's account is filled with hope." - Gary Bacon, Ph.D., Author, Essential Education Milken National Educator Award Winner> "Just a Teacher is a dedicated teacher's perspective on the plight of public school students. Mr. Tourzan eloquently describes his multicultural career of helping underserved children. These unique true student stories serve as beacons to guide educational reform. Prospective teachers need to read this book to get a realistic vision of the daily challenges and joys of this powerful profession. I recommend this book to anyone involved with children, education, or philanthropy." - Tom Cole, Founder, Kids Unlimited Academy

In the first comprehensive analysis of Illinois' statewide survey of school climate and learning conditions, this report finds systematic differences among schools in the degree to which students and teachers report strength in the five essential supports. Previous UChicago CCSR research has linked strength on the five essentials-effective leadership, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environments, and ambitious instruction-to engaging instruction and learning and ultimately to improvements in test score gains and attendance trends. This report analyzes data from the 2013 survey administered by the Illinois State Board of Education and the University of Chicago Urban Education Institute to all teachers and students in grades six through 12. The goal of the survey was to help schools across the state better identify their strengths and weaknesses. Nearly 90 percent of schools responded.

There's not a problem that you've got that God can't solve! Described as pure "spiritual elevation", The Will of God: Bringing My Children Home explains the healing process as taught by the God of unconditional love to Dr. Weltman. The book details Dr. Weltman's journey through meditation, prayer and healing, directed by God, providing you, as well, the tools to get you on your way back home. The book speaks of how human uneasiness consumes us and how we must permit God to return us to a spiritually based life grounded in supreme self-confidence and unshakable faith. The book explains that we have two minds: the human mind of this world and the divine mind of the spirit world. The human mind causes sickness, fears, worries and woes. The divine mind brings an everlasting sense of worth, wellness, love and peace. The Creator of all knows how to deliver the healing that enables the surrender of the human mind and recovery of our divine mind. This in turn allows us to overcome the troubles of this world and to joyfully help others in similar fashion before we ultimately are called to return home to heaven. Solicited by the author, God provided the title for this book. Unsolicited by the author, God most generously supplied three further endorsements for the book's quality stating, 1. "This book has won God's seal of approval", 2. "This book speaks of Me and for Me, I choose to speak for it. It provides you with Me in the sense and scope of My healing power and salvation mission. I cherish it's contents", 3. "Feast upon the love of God". We can't wait for you to experience God's involvement in and delivery of your ultimate healing; the will of God is bringing ALL of His children home.

In this much anticipated parallel to Gene Skellig's captivating military techno-thriller: Winter Kill - War With China Has Already Begun, we follow the lives of two Americans, one a US Army Ranger with a deep personal interest in Chinese military doctrine; the other, a Major from the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Division. Both men, along with their families, have been given Permanent Change of Station orders to report to Darwin, Norther Territory, Australia just months before the Nuclear Extinction War breaks out. Their contributions to the battle for Australia, centered on Marine Air Ground Task Force - Australia (MAGTFA) and a few key USN Warships, are key to thwarting the relentless Chinese advances in the strategically important region. Readers of the original Winter Kill will enjoy the faster-paced, tighter narrative of the second Winter Kill novel. The antics of one particular Top Sergeant and the determined efforts of the Australian citizenry will draw you into the personalities involved as well as connect you to the Australian point of view. One other dimension of note is that of the Chinese involved, whether as PLA soldiers, PLA commanders, Australian Chinese and others caught up in the conflict. Neutrality in this conflict is not an option. The two Winter Kill books stand individually, or in concert, however the author recommends reading Winter Kill - War With China Has Already Begun at the outset, for the geopolitical, military and economic conditions which motivate the evil genius, General Bing, to concoct such a terrible plan. For those who follow real-world geo-strategic events, you will recognize the high degree of congruence between the near future, fictional, Winter Kill world and current events. Whether we are already at war with China, or are moving inexorably towards war, is a question only the reader can answer. The Winter Kill books will certainly provide you with a good look at what a war with China could be like.
