Reach all readers : using the science of reading to transform your literacy instruction / by Geiger, Anna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."According to a report published by EdWeek, 'just 35% of 4th graders are proficient readers'. There is a lack of literacy skills in the early childhood population by the time these students get to 4th grade. But where does this learning gap come from? The report also shows that educators are likely to use solely what they learn about literacy in professional development or school training when they teach literacy skills to their students, rather than doing research on their own to expand their knowledge of how to teach literacy. Many educators, especially early childhood educators, find the science of literacy hard to grasp. It is often difficult to see why certain approaches to teaching literacy are effective and why others aren't. Educators have plenty on their plates and often times do not have the bandwidth to study complicated literacy research articles to support what they learn in professional development & school trainings. They need a quick, concise way to learn about the science of literacy in a digestible way, and they need practical tools to help their students learn literacy skills in an engaging way"--

Whose water is it, anyway? : taking water protection into public hands / by Barlow, Maude,author.;
"The Blue Communities Project is dedicated to three primary things: that access to clean, drinkable water is a basic human right; that municipal and community water will be held in public hands; and that single-use plastic water bottles will not be available in public spaces. With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Victoria are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. In Whose Water Is It, Anyway?, renowned water justice activist Maude Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Concluding with a step-by-step guide to making your own community blue, Maude Barlow's latest book is a heartening example of how ordinary people can effect enormous change."--Provided by publisher.

Futurekind : design by and for the people / by Phillips, Robert(Product designer),author.; Béhar, Yves,1967-writer of foreword.;
We have grown accustomed to two beliefs: the first, that only experts can be designers; the second, that our everyday activities are harming the natural world. Yet, with new platforms, digital communication and engaged online communities, the products we can now design - and truly need - can be made by anyone for social and environmental good. Social design can see that primary school children learn to code, and uses local information in off-grid locations to create global change. Open-source design is enabling us to re-make our world right now. Structured into eight areas of application, from healthcare to education, this book showcases over sixty projects - not the kind you see in glossy magazines or online, but the ones that have made a genuine difference to communities and lives around the world. Rather than being client-driven, as commercial design often is, each project here is the result of designers who reach out, communities who get involved and the technologies that helping people to realize ideas together. From a playground-powered water pump in South Africa to a DIY budget cellphone, each of these groundbreaking projects is presented through fascinating and life-affirming stories, diagrams that reveal the mechanisms and motivations behind each design approach, and photography that celebrates the humanity of the endeavour.
