One woman's war : a novel of the real Miss Moneypenny / by Wells, Christine,author.;

"World War II London: When Victoire "Paddy" Bennett first walks into the Admiralty's Room 39, home to the Intelligence Division, all the bright and lively young woman expects is a secretarial position to the charismatic Commander Ian Fleming. But soon her job is so much more, and when Fleming proposes a daring plot to deceive the Germans about Allied invasion plans he requests the newlywed Paddy's help. She jumps at the chance to work as an agent in the field, even after the operation begins to affect her marriage. But could doing her duty for King and country come at too great a cost? Socialite Friedl St̲ttinger is a beautiful Austrian double agent determined to survive in wartime England, which means working for MI-5, investigating fifth column activity among the British elite at parties and nightclubs. But Friedl has a secret--some years before, she agreed to work for German Intelligence and spy on the British. When her handler at MI-5 proposes that she work with Serbian agent, Dusko Popov, Friedl falls hopelessly in love with the dashing spy. And when her intelligence work becomes fraught with danger, she must choose whether to remain loyal to the British and risk torture and execution by the Nazis, or betray thousands of men to their deaths. Soon, the lives of these two extraordinarily brave women will collide, as each travels down a road of deception and danger leading to one of the greatest battles of World War II.

Critical race theory and its critics : implications for research and teaching / by López, Francesca A.,1974-author.; Sleeter, Christine E.,1948-author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 116-134) and index.Critical race theory as the new villain -- How did we get here? -- Research on the impact of teaching about race -- Messaging : how think tanks and the media exploit emotions toward agendas -- Where do we go from here?"What and who is behind the attacks on Critical Race Theory? Why are attacks happening now, and what can be done about them? In Critical Race Theory and its Critics, Francesca López and Christine Sleeter provide readers with an overview of today's controversy, contextualizing the immediate precursors to the attacks on critical race theory and other equity-focused approaches in schools, as well as the organized reaction by conservative think tanks to undermine equity efforts. Contrary to claims by critics of critical race theory, research supports addressing racism in the classroom as part of a broader effort to ensure that all children thrive. Today's attacks, while new in form, are not new in substance and purpose, as an historical account of parallel efforts aimed at undermining equity shows. Given the recursive nature of attacks and the extent to which they have eroded policies aimed at eradicating systemic inequities, Critical Race Theory and its Critics concludes with evidence-based recommendations on messaging, organizing, and sharing of research"--

Humanly possible : [electronic resource] : Seven hundred years of humanist freethinking, inquiry, and hope. by Bakewell, Sarah.; Beamish, Antonia.;

Narrator: Antonia Beamish.“Lively. . . [Bakewell’s] new book is filled with her characteristic wit and clarity.”— The New York Times “A book of big and bold ideas, Humanly Possible is humane in approach and, more important, readable and worth reading. . . Bakewell is wide-ranging, witty and compassionate.” – Wall Street Journal The bestselling author of How to Live and At the Existentialist Café explores seven hundred years of writers, thinkers, scientists, and artists, all trying to understand what it means to be truly human Humanism is an expansive tradition of thought that places shared humanity, cultural vibrancy, and moral responsibility at the center of our lives. The humanistic worldview—as clear-eyed and enlightening as it is kaleidoscopic and richly ambiguous—has inspired people for centuries to make their choices by principles of freethinking, intellectual inquiry, fellow feeling, and optimism. In this sweeping new history, Sarah Bakewell, herself a lifelong humanist, illuminates the very personal, individual, and, well, human matter of humanism and takes readers on a grand intellectual adventure. Voyaging from the literary enthusiasts of the fourteenth century to the secular campaigners of our own time, from Erasmus to Esperanto, from anatomists to agnostics, from Christine de Pizan to Bertrand Russell, and from Voltaire to Zora Neale Hurston, Bakewell brings together extraordinary humanists across history. She explores their immense variety: some sought to promote scientific and rationalist ideas, others put more emphasis on moral living, and still others were concerned with the cultural and literary studies known as “the humanities.” Humanly Possible asks not only what brings all these aspects of humanism together but why it has such enduring power, despite opposition from fanatics, mystics, and tyrants. A singular examination of this vital tradition as well as a dazzling contribution to its literature, this is an intoxicating, joyful celebration of the human spirit from one of our most beloved writers. And at a moment when we are all too conscious of the world’s divisions, Humanly Possible— brimming with ideas, experiments in living, and respect for the deepest ethical values—serves as a recentering, a call to care for one another, and a reminder that we are all, together, only human.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 406518 KB).

Math misconceptions : preK-grade 5 : from misunderstanding to deep understanding / by Bamberger, Honi Joyce.; Oberdorf, Christine.; Schultz-Ferrell, Karren.;

Includes bibliographical references (p. 173-178) and index.1. Number and operations. Counting with number words -- Thinking addition means "join together" and subtraction means "take away" -- Renaming and regrouping when adding and subtracting two-digit numbers -- Misapplying addition and subtraction strategies to multiplication and division -- Multiplying two-digit factors by two-digit factors -- Understanding the division algorithm -- Understanding fractions -- Adding and subtracting fractions -- Representing, ordering, and adding/subtracting decimals -- 2. Algebra. Understanding patterns -- Meaning of equals -- Identifying functional relationships -- Interpreting variables -- Algebraic representations -- 3. Geometry. Categorizing two-dimensional shapes -- Naming three-dimensional figures -- Navigating coordinate geometry -- Applying reflection -- Solving spatial problems -- 4. Measurement. Reading an analog clock -- Determining the value of coins -- Units versus numbers -- Distinguishing between area and perimeter -- Overgeneralizing base-ten renaming -- 5. Data analysis and probability. Sorting and classifying -- Choosing an appropriate display -- Understanding terms for measures of central tendency -- Analyzing data -- Probability -- 6. Assessing children's mathematical progress. Assessment: the received view -- Assessment from a better angle -- Types of formative assessment -- Why assess? -- Final thoughts.Children enter school filled with all kinds of ideas about numbers, shapes, measuring tools, time, and money--ideas formed from the expressions they hear ... the things they see on television ... the computer screen ... in children's books ... all around them. It's no wonder some children develop very interesting and perhaps incorrect ideas about mathematical concepts. "How can we connect the informal knowledge that students bring to our classrooms with the mathematics program adopted by our school system? Just as important, how do we ensure that the mathematics we are introducing and reinforcing is accurate and will not need to be re-taught in later years?" Math Misconceptions answers these questions by: identifying the most common errors relative to the five NCTM content strands (number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability); investigating the source of these misunderstandings; proposing ways to avoid as well as "undo" misconceptions. Using classroom vignettes that highlight common misconceptions in each content area, followed by applicable research about the root causes of the confusion, the authors offer numerous instructional ideas and interventions designed to prevent or correct the misconception. --Publisher's description.

In this book, López and Sleeter answer these questions in an effort to intentionally and strategically provide readers with sustainable tools for teaching toward an equitable future. This comprehensive book includes an overview of today's controversy surrounding CRT; a historical account of efforts to thwart fair and unbiased education opportunities; research on why these efforts have been successful; and ways for teachers, school leaders, and researchers to address this pushback in their own work. Contrary to claims by critics of CRT, research supports that addressing racism in the classroom is an integral part of a broader effort in ensuring that all children thrive. Written in an accessible style for a broad audience, Critical Race Theory and Its Critics offers evidence-based recommendations on messaging (including social media), organizing, and sharing research. Book Features: Draws from published research, as well as current news articles, reports, and events. Offers one cohesive resource on CRT, antiracist education, and the political landscape. Delves into the role of the news media, social media, and think tanks in creating the controversies with guidance for combating their messaging.
