| buying a home reading quiz: Fatty Legs Christy Jordan-Fenton, Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, 2010-09-01 Eight-year-old Margaret Pokiak has set her sights on learning to read, even though it means leaving her village in the high Arctic. Faced with unceasing pressure, her father finally agrees to let her make the five-day journey to attend school, but he warns Margaret of the terrors of residential schools. At school Margaret soon encounters the Raven, a black-cloaked nun with a hooked nose and bony fingers that resemble claws. She immediately dislikes the strong-willed young Margaret. Intending to humiliate her, the heartless Raven gives gray stockings to all the girls — all except Margaret, who gets red ones. In an instant Margaret is the laughingstock of the entire school. In the face of such cruelty, Margaret refuses to be intimidated and bravely gets rid of the stockings. Although a sympathetic nun stands up for Margaret, in the end it is this brave young girl who gives the Raven a lesson in the power of human dignity. Complemented by archival photos from Margaret Pokiak-Fenton’s collection and striking artworks from Liz Amini-Holmes, this inspiring first-person account of a plucky girl’s determination to confront her tormentor will linger with young readers. |

| buying a home reading quiz: Learning Begins at Home Michael Young, Patrick McGeeney, 2023-07-14 First published in 1968, Learning Begins at Home records an attempt by two researchers to initiate and assess an innovation in a school in a working-class neighbourhood. The influence of parents upon children’s achievement is a platitude of education. The vital question is whether schools can become centres for education for adults as well as children, influencing the parents directly, and the children indirectly through the parents. The research reported in this book suggests that it would be worthwhile for teachers to give more of their time to cooperation with parents. This book will be of interest to students of education and sociology. |

| buying a home reading quiz: Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs Serving Children from Birth Through Age 8, Fourth Edition (Fully Revised and Updated) Naeyc, 2021-08 The long-awaited new edition of NAEYC's book Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs is here, fully revised and updated! Since the first edition in 1987, it has been an essential resource for the early childhood education field. Early childhood educators have a professional responsibility to plan and implement intentional, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that promote the social and emotional development, physical development and health, cognitive development, and general learning competencies of each child served. But what is developmentally appropriate practice (DAP)? DAP is a framework designed to promote young children's optimal learning and development through a strengths-based approach to joyful, engaged learning. As educators make decisions to support each child's learning and development, they consider what they know about (1) commonality in children's development and learning, (2) each child as an individual (within the context of their family and community), and (3) everything discernible about the social and cultural contexts for each child, each educator, and the program as a whole. This latest edition of the book is fully revised to underscore the critical role social and cultural contexts play in child development and learning, including new research about implicit bias and teachers' own context and consideration of advances in neuroscience. Educators implement developmentally appropriate practice by recognizing the many assets all young children bring to the early learning program as individuals and as members of families and communities. They also develop an awareness of their own context. Building on each child's strengths, educators design and implement learning settings to help each child achieve their full potential across all domains of development and across all content areas. |

Imagine running your household (and life!) in a new way... It started with the Sh*t I Do List. Tired of being the shefault parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family -- and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change. His response was... underwhelming. Rodsky realized that simply identifying the issue of unequal labor on the home front wasn't enough: She needed a solution to this universal problem. Her sanity, identity, career, and marriage depended on it. The result is Fair Play: a time- and anxiety-saving system that offers couples a completely new way to divvy up chores and responsibilities. Rodsky interviewed more than five hundred men and women from all walks of life to figure out what the invisible work in a family actually entails and how to get it all done efficiently. With four easy-to-follow rules, 100 household tasks, and a series of conversation starters for you and your partner, Fair Play helps you prioritize what's important to your family and who should take the lead on every chore from laundry to homework to dinner. Winning this game means rebalancing your home life, reigniting your relationship with your significant other, and reclaiming your Unicorn Space -- as in, the time to develop the skills and passions that keep you interested and interesting. Stop drowning in to-dos and lose some of that invisible workload that's pulling you down. Are you ready to try Fair Play? Let's deal you in. |

| buying a home reading quiz: Sprint (Republish) Jake Knapp, 2018-07-19 Anda mungkin beruntung memiliki pekerjaan atau proyek mendatang dengan visi yang cemerlang. Namun, upaya mewujudkan visi ini sering kali tak mudah. Setiap hari Anda gampang sekali terjebak dalam berbagai hal: surel yang seolah tiada habisnya, tenggat yang molor, rapat-rapat seharian yang menyita waktu, dan proyek jangka panjang yang hanya berdasarkan asumsi. Sudah waktunya Anda mencoba Sprint, sebuah metode untuk memecahkan masalah dan menguji ide-ide baru, menyelesaikan lebih banyak hal dengan efisien. Buku ini ditulis Jake Knapp, mantan Design Partner Google Ventures, untuk menuntun Anda merasakan pengalaman menerapkan metode yang telah mendunia ini. Sprint mewujudkan pengeksekusian ide besar hanya dalam lima hari. Menuntun tim Anda dengan checklist lengkap, mulai dari Senin hingga Jumat. Menjawab segala pertanyaan penting yang sering kali hanya disimpan di benak mereka yang sedang menguji ide/konsep/produk. Sprint juga membantu Anda lebih menikmati setiap proses. Anda bisa mengamati dan bergabung dengan ratusan dari pelaku Sprint di seluruh dunia melalui tagar #sprintweek di Twitter. Sebuah proyek besar terjadi pada 2009. Seorang insinyur Gmail bernama Peter Balsiger mencetuskan ide mengenai surel yang bisa teratur secara otomatis. Saya sangat tertarik dengan idenya—yang disebut “Kotak Masuk Prioritas”—dan merekrut insinyur lain, Annie Chen, untuk bergabung bersama kami. Annie setuju, tetapi dia hanya punya waktu sebulan untuk mengerjakannya. Kalau kami tidak bisa membuktikan bahwa ide itu bisa diterapkan dalam jangka waktu tersebut, Annie akan beralih ke proyek lainnya. Saya yakin waktunya tidak akan cukup, tetapi Annie adalah insinyur yang luar biasa. Jadi, saya memutuskan untuk menjalaninya saja. Kami membagi waktu sebulan itu ke dalam empat bagian yang masing-masing lamanya seminggu. Setiap pekan, kami menggarap desain baru. Annie dan Peter membuat purwarupa, lalu pada akhir minggu, kami menguji desain ini bersama beberapa ratus orang lainnya. Pada akhir bulan, kami menemukan solusi yang bisa dipahami dan diinginkan orang- orang. Annie tetap menjadi pemimpin untuk tim Kotak Masuk Prioritas. Dan entah bagaimana caranya, kami berhasil menyelesaikan tugas desainnya dalam waktu yang lebih singkat dari biasanya. Beberapa bulan kemudian, saya mengunjungi Serge Lachapelle dan Mikael Drugge, dua orang karyawan Google di Stockholm. Kami bertiga ingin menguji ide perangkat lunak untuk konferensi video yang bisa dijalankan lewat peramban. Karena saya berada di kota tersebut hanya selama beberapa hari, kami bekerja secepat mungkin. Pada penghujung kunjungan saya, kami berhasil menyelesaikan purwarupanya. Kami mengirimkannya ke rekan kerja kami lewat surel dan mulai menggunakannya dalam rapat. Dalam beberapa bulan, seluruh perusahaan sudah bisa menggunakannya. (Selanjutnya, versi yang sudah dipoles dan disempurnakan dari aplikasi berbasis web tersebut dikenal sebagai Google Hangouts.) Dalam kedua kasus tersebut, saya menyadari bahwa saya bekerja jauh lebih efektif ketimbang rutinitas kerja harian saya atau ketika mengikuti lokakarya diskusi sumbang saran. Apa yang membedakannya? Saya menimbang kembali lokakarya tim yang saya gagas sebelumnya. Bagaimana kalau saya memasukkan elemen ajaib lainnya—fokus pada kerja individu, waktu untuk membuat purwarupa, dan tenggat yang tak bisa ditawar? Saya lalu menyebutkan, “sprint” desain. Saya membuat jadwal kasar untuk sprint pertama saya: satu hari untuk berbagi informasi dan mereka ide, diikuti dengan empat hari pembuatan purwarupa. Sekali lagi, tim Google menyambut baik eksperimen ini. Saya memimpin sprint untuk mendesain Chrome, Google Search, Gmail, dan proyek-proyek lainnya. Ini sangat menarik. Sprint ini berhasil. Ide-ide diuji, dibangun, diluncurkan, dan yang terbaik, kebanyakan dari ide-ide ini berhasil diterapkan dalam dunia nyata. Proses sprint menyebar di seisi Google dari satu tim ke tim lain, dari satu kantor ke kantor lain. Seorang desainer dari Google X tertarik dengan metode ini, jadi dia menjalankan sprint untuk sebuah tim di Google Ads. Anggota tim dalam sprint di Ads kemudian menyampaikannya kepada kolega mereka, dan begitu seterusnya. Dalam waktu singkat saya mendengar penerapan sprint dari orang-orang yang tidak saya kenal. Dalam perjalanannya, saya membuat beberapa kesalahan. Sprint pertama saya melibatkan empat puluh orang—jumlah yang sangat besar dan justru hampir menghambat sprint tersebut, bahkan sebelum dimulai. Saya menyesuaikan waktu yang diperlukan untuk mengembangkan ide dan pembuatan purwarupa. Saya jadi memahami mana yang terlalu cepat, terlalu lambat, hingga akhirnya menemukan yang waktu paling sesuai. Beberapa tahun kemudian, saya bertemu Bill Maris untuk membicarakan sprint. Bill adalah CEO Google Ventures, perusahaan modal ventura yang didirikan Google untuk berinvestasi pada startup-startup potensial. Dia adalah salah satu orang berpengaruh di Silicon Valley. Namun, Anda tidak akan menyangkanya dari pembawaannya yang santai. Pada sore itu, dia mengenakan pakaian khasnya, yaitu topi bisbol dan kaus dengan tulisan tentang Vermont. Bill tertarik untuk menjalankan sprint dengan startup dalam portofolio GV. Startup biasanya hanya memiliki satu kesempatan emas untuk mendesain sebuah produk yang sukses, sebelum akhirnya kehabisan dana. Sprint bisa membantu mencari tahu apakah startup-startup ini berada di jalur yang tepat sebelum akhirnya mereka bisa berkecimpung dalam tahapan yang lebih berisiko untuk membangun dan meluncurkan produk mereka. Dengan menjalankan sprint, mereka bisa mendapatkan sekaligus menghemat uang. Namun agar berhasil, saya harus menyesuaikan proses sprint ini. Saya sudah berpikir mengenai produktivitas individu dan tim selama beberapa tahun. Namun, saya hampir tidak tahu apa-apa mengenai startup dan kebutuhan bisnis mereka. Tetap saja, antusiasme Bill meyakinkan saya bahwa Google Ventures adalah tempat yang tepat untuk menerapkan sprint—sekaligus tempat yang tepat bagi saya. “Ini misi kita,” ujarnya, “untuk bisa menemukan entrepreneur terbaik di muka bumi dan membantu mereka membuat dunia ini menjadi tempat yang lebih baik.” Saya tentu tak bisa menolaknya. Di GV, saya bergabung dengan tiga rekan lain: Braden Kowitz, John Zeratsky, dan Michael Margolis. Bersama, kami mulai menjalankan sprint dengan startup-startup, bereksperimen dengan prosesnya, dan menguji hasilnya agar bisa menemukan cara untuk memperbaikinya. Ide-ide dalam buku ini lahir dari semua anggota tim kami. Braden Kowitz memasukkan desain berbasis cerita dalam proses sprint, sebuah pendekatan tak biasa yang berfokus pada pengalaman konsumen alih-alih komponen individu atau teknologi. John Zeratsky membantu kami memulai dari akhir sehingga tiap sprint bisa membantu menjawab berbagai pertanyaan bisnis paling penting. Braden dan John memiliki pengalaman dalam bisnis dan startup, hal yang tidak saya miliki, dan mereka menyesuaikan prosesnya untuk menciptakan fokus yang lebih baik dan keputusan yang lebih cerdas di tiap sprint. Michael Margolis mendorong kami untuk mengakhiri tiap sprint dengan pengujian di dunia nyata. Dia menjalankan riset konsumen, yang perencanaan dan pelaksanaannya bisa menghabiskan waktu berminggu-minggu, dan menemukan cara untuk mendapatkan hasil yang jelas hanya dalam sehari. Ini benar-benar sebuah keajaiban. Kami tidak perlu lagi menebak-nebak apakah solusi kami bagus atau tidak karena di akhir tiap sprint, kami mendapatkan jawabannya. Kemudian ada Daniel Burka, seorang entrepreneur yang mendirikan dua startup sebelum menjual salah satunya ke Google dan bergabung dengan GV. Saat kali pertama menjelaskan proses sprint kepadanya, dia skeptis. Baginya, sprint terdengar seperti serangkaian proses manajemen yang rumit. Namun, dia sepakat untuk mencoba salah satunya. “Dalam sprint pertama itu, kami memangkas prosesnya dan menciptakan sesuatu yang ambisius hanya dalam sepekan. Saya benar-benar jatuh hati.” Setelah kami berhasil meyakinkannya, pengalaman langsung Daniel sebagai seorang pendiri startup dan sikapnya yang tidak menoleransi omong kosong membantu kami menyempurnakan prosesnya. Sejak sprint pertama di GV pada 2012, kami telah beradaptasi dan bereksperimen. Mulanya kami mengira pembuatan purwarupa dan riset yang cepat hanya akan berhasil untuk produk berskala besar. Mampukah kami bergerak sama cepatnya jika konsumen kami adalah para ahli di berbagai bidang seperti kesehatan dan keuangan? Tanpa disangka, proses lima hari ini bisa bertahan. Proses ini sesuai untuk semua jenis konsumen, mulai dari investor sampai petani, dari onkolog sampai pemilik bisnis skala kecil. Juga bagi situs web, aplikasi iPhone, laporan medis, hingga perangkat keras berteknologi tinggi. Tidak hanya untuk mengembangkan produk, kami juga menggunakan sprint untuk menentukan prioritas, strategi pemasaran, bahkan menamai perusahaan. Proses ini berulang-ulangmenyatukan tim dan menjadikan ide-ide menjadi nyata. Selama beberapa tahun belakangan, tim kami mendapatkan beragam kesempatan untuk bereksperimen dan memvalidasi ide kami mengenai proses kerja. Kami menjalankan lebih dari seratus sprint bersama dengan startup-startup dalam portofolio GV. Kami bekerja bersama, sekaligus belajar dari para entrepreneur brilian seperti Anne Wojcicki (pendiri 23andMe), Ev Williams (pendiri Twitter, Blogger, dan Medium), serta Chad Hurley dan Steve Chen (pendiri YouTube). Pada awalnya, saya hanya ingin membuat hari-hari kerja saya efisien dan berkualitas. Saya ingin berfokus pada apa yang benar-benar penting dan menjadikan waktu saya berharga—bagi saya, tim, dan konsumen kami. Kini, lebih dari satu dekade kemudian, proses sprint secara konsisten telah membantu saya meraih mimpi tesebut. Dan saya sangat senang berbagi mengenai hal tersebut dengan Anda dalam buku ini. Dengan keberuntungan, Anda bisa memilih pekerjaan Anda karena visi yang tajam. Anda ingin berbagi visi tersebut kepada dunia, baik yang berupa pesan, layanan, maupun pengalaman, dengan perangkat lunak maupun keras, atau bahkan—sebagaimana dicontohkan dalam buku ini—sebuah cerita atau ide. Namun, mewujudkan visi ini tak mudah. Gampang sekali terjebak dalam berbagai hal: surel yang seolah tiada habisnya, tenggat yang molor, rapat-rapat seharian yang menyita waktu Anda, dan proyek jangka panjang yang hanya berdasarkan asumsi. Prosesnya tidak harus selalu seperti ini. Sprint menawarkan jalur untuk memecahkan masalah-masalah besar, menguji ide-ide baru, menyelesaikan lebih banyak hal, dan melakukan semuanya dengan lebih cepat. Sprint juga membantu Anda lebih menikmati prosesnya. Dengan kata lain, Anda benar-benar harus mencobanya sendiri. Ayo kita mulai. —Jake Knapp San Francisco, Februari 2016 [Mizan, Bentang Pustaka, Manajemen, Ide, Kreatif, Inovasi, Motivasi, Dewasa, Indonesia] spesial seri bentang bisnis & startup |

Rather than basic sets of questions, The Book Lover's Quiz Book mirrors the format of Gary's live quizzes, at the Betsey Trotwood in London and elsewhere. So, there are lots of multiple-choice questions, some amusing answers, clever red herrings, little-known facts about authors and some of the much-loved Say What You See picture round. Also, there are fixed and variable rounds - fixed ones include 'Blankety Books' (one word missing from the title - always with a theme), 'Literary Links and lists' (what connects/next in the list etc.) and '2 of a Kind' (name the character and the author that share the same initials). The changeable rounds keep the quizzes fresh and include 'What the Dickens?' (real or made-up Dickens names), 'RomeNo or JuliYess' (real or made-up Shakespearian insults) and 'Book Bingo!' (identify the correct number). There are also more standard rounds such as 'First Lines', 'Working Titles' and 'Banned Books'. The aim of all Gary's quizzes, and this book, is that people should have fun and be able to guess (if they don't know) as much as possible. |

| buying a home reading quiz: Teaching for Joy and Justice Linda Christensen, 2009 Teaching for Joy and Justice is the much-anticipated sequel to Linda Christensen's bestselling Reading, Writing, and Rising Up. Christensen is recognized as one of the country's finest teachers. Her latest book shows why. Through story upon story, Christensen demonstrates how she draws on students' lives and the world to teach poetry, essay, narrative, and critical literacy skills. Teaching for Joy and Justice reveals what happens when a teacher treats all students as intellectuals, instead of intellectually challenged. Part autobiography, part curriculum guide, part critique of today's numbing standardized mandates, this book sings with hope -- born of Christensen's more than 30 years as a classroom teacher, language arts specialist, and teacher educator. Practical, inspirational, passionate: this is a must-have book for every language arts teacher, whether veteran or novice. In fact, Teaching for Joy and Justice is a must-have book for anyone who wants concrete examples of what it really means to teach for social justice. |
