If you are starting the process of finding your child's first school - or if you want to choose a new learning environment - The School Choice Roadmap is for you. This first-of-its-kind audiobook offers a practical, jargon-free overview of school-choice policies, from public-school open enrollment to private-school scholarships and more. 

Solomon Owl lives in Pleasant Valley. As with most owls, he is a loner. He doesn't have many friends and instead, often sees others smaller than him as food rather than friends. We discover how Solomon deals with other animals in the Pleasant Valley woods such as Mr. Frog the Tailor, Cousin Screecher, Fatty Coon, Mr. Crow, noisy Jasper Jay, and Aunt Polly Woodchuck the herb doctor. The characters in Bailey's books can be grumpy and predatory and will bite when aroused. Traditional virtues - honesty, reliability, loyalty, perseverance - are encouraged and rewarded.

Jeder kennt es, wenn das Essen mit Kita-Kindern zur Nervenzerreißprobe wird. Zu unterschiedlich sind die Bedürfnisse, Wünsche, Haltungen, Regeln, Erwartungen und Vorlieben von Eltern, Kindern und Erzieher/-innen. Die Bedeutung des Essens als etwas Gemeinschaftliches, Genussvolles, Schönes, aber auch Persönliches und Individuelles gerät dabei vollkommen aus dem Blick. Dieses Hörbuch möchte den Blick aufs Essen wieder geraderichten: Es erklärt kurz und kompakt, wie das Essen mit Kita-Kindern entspannt und bedürfnisorientiert gestaltet werden kann, und gibt Tipps und Empfehlungen für eine gelingende Erziehungspartnerschaft auch in strittigen Fragen ums Essen.

Digitale Medien in der Kita - dieses Thema wird von Eltern sowie Erziehern und Erzieherinnen kontrovers diskutiert.

Das Hörbuch setzt bei möglichen Fragen, verbreiteten Einwänden und Bedenken an.

Inspired by a teacher's question, "How do you fit it all in?" they identified and prioritized the daily, essential, belief-based practices that are worth spending time on. They asked, "Who will these students be as readers and writers after a year under our care?"
