Synopsis Fear and Learning by : Aalya Ahmad
This groundbreaking collection of new essays presents critical reflections on teaching horror film and fiction in many different ways and in a variety of academic settings--from cultural theory to film studies; from women's and gender studies to postcolonialism; from critical thinking seminars on the paranormal to the timeless classics of English horror literature. Together, the essays show readers how the pedagogy of horror can galvanize, unsettle and transform classrooms, giving us powerful tools with which to consider interwoven issues of identity, culture, monstrosity, the relationship between the real and the fictional, normativity and adaptation. Includes a foreword by celebrated horror writer Glen Hirshberg.

Synopsis Fear and Learning by : Michelle G. Craske
"The goal of this volume is to bring together the most recent empirical and theoretical developments in the basic science of fear learning and to translate these developments to the clinical understanding and treatment of fears and phobias. A major impetus for the volume was the recognition that basic science in fear learning is advancing far more rapidly than the clinical application of this knowledge. The book is structured to cover three main areas. The first presents the history of fear learning theory and fear measurement. The second area examines the acquisition and maintenance of fear, including neural circuitry, associative pathways, and cognitive mechanisms; the role of avoidance; and individual differences in fear learning. The third area covers the extinction, renewal, and reinstatement of fear, including neural circuitry and context dependency. The volume developed out of the Special Interest Meeting on Fear and Learning in Lignely, Belgium (May 2003), sponsored by the Fund for Scientific Research in Flanders, Belgium, and inspired by Paul Eelen. This volume is intended for both basic scientists and clinical scientists at undergraduate, graduate, and more advanced levels, as well as practicing clinicians who are interested in gaining an in-depth understanding of learning theory as it applies to fear and anxiety"--Preface.

Synopsis Fear and Learning in America by : John Kuhn
In this moving account, Americas Superintendent John Kuhn lays bare the scare tactics at the root of the modern school reform movement. Kuhn conveys a deeply held passion for the mission and promise of public education through his own experience as a school administrator in Texas. When his Alamo Letter first appeared in the Washington Post, it galvanized the educational community in a call to action that was impossible to ignore. This powerful book requires us to question whether the current education crisis will be judged by history as a legitimate national emergency or an agenda-driven panic, spurred on by a media that is, for the most part, uninterested in anything but useless soundbites. Essential reading for teachers, administrators, policymakers, and everyone concerned with public education, Fear and Learning in America: Analyzes school reform from the perspective of a practicing school administrator who isnt sold on the corporate reform package.Places school reform in the historical context of similar episodes of national hand-wringing.Offers encouragement and appreciation to classroom teachers who are exhausted by the vilification that modern school reform has served up. John Kuhns book is packed with more wisdom than any 10 books that I have read about American education. It is the wisdom born of experience. It is the wisdom of a man who cares about children, families, and community. From the Foreword by Diane Ravitch, author of Reign of Error In Fear and Learning in America, John Kuhn weaves together stories from his life as a teacher and missionary with tales from history. The result is a fresh way of thinking about schools and educational policy. Refuting A Nation at Risk, Mr. Kuhn warns, persuasively, of a rising tide of inequality. His message, artfully delivered in this important book, should be heeded. John Merrow, education correspondent, PBS NewsHour, and president, Learning Matters, Inc. Kuhn is a superb educator and his valuable book effectively dissects the myths about todays high-stakes testing environment and the worsening conditions under which educators are expected to make miracles every day, or else. His cogent arguments against such policies demonstrate what is really important and should inform the debate about public education. Randi Weingarten, president, American Federation of Teachers This book is a brilliantly clear defense of public education as our nations most valuable asset. John Kuhn fearlessly names the fact that todays education reformers, like the renowned emperor, wear no clothes. Christine Sleeter, professor emerita, California State University Monterey Bay

Synopsis Thank You, Fear - I'll Take It from Here by : Mandy Grenier
The constant playback of "What the hell are you doing with your life?" was my 3 am monster that woke me up daily and kept me from having a full night's sleep. Why was I unable to find my life's purpose while others around me seemed to be doing that just fine?Fear crept in daily, overwhelming me with confusion and second-guessing every decision I was about to make. You are not good enough, not educated enough, not interesting or important enough, and mostly I heard "you are not enough."The messages at 3 am were a constant playback in my mind until I started to listen to what they were saying. I began to question how all this self-doubt arrived in my life after all and began to do the work that required me to put my ear to my heart.In Thank You, Fear - I'll Take It From Here, I share my journey from being locked in my self-sabotage to unlocking my true potential. I did this by listening to the real message I was receiving from my fear. The messages of "you are not good enough" began to fade as I uncovered the power within the passage.The messages were my higher self nudging me towards greatness. Once I began to see the opportunities unfold in front of me by embracing the fear, I had a deeper understanding of truly knowing what my higher self was leading me toward - greatness.Fear has the power we give it. We can take an opportunity and attach fear to it, or we can take an opportunity and see possibilities, it's a choice. We can own our greatness and step into the unknown with courage and self-confidence or we can choose self-sabotage and defeatism.Thank You, Fear - I'll Take It From Here is an opportunity to:* Own your greatness* Unlock your true potential* Live your life authenticallyby learning the language of fear and deciding how to interpret it. Leaning into the discomfort is the beginning of great opportunity, adventure, and living your life's purpose.

Synopsis Learning Without Fear by : Julia Stead
Growth mindset is a burning issue in schools right now. It has, however, often been misinterpreted as simply adding 'yet' to the end of a sentence. In 'Learning Without Fear' Stead and Sabharwal tackle this misconception by combining bite-sized mindset theory with the practical tools and techniques that will enable teachers to nurture children who are willing to take risks to further and deepen their own learning. Underpinned by up-to-date pedagogical thinking and research, 'Learning Without Fear' provides teachers of this under-represented age group with tangible and workable resources that address young learners' daily needs in the classroom.

Synopsis Me And My Fear by : Frenci Sanna
"With its warm palette and gentle scenes of the worried child being comforted, this book could function as a sequel to Sanna's astounding debut picture book, The Journey, which recounted a family's dangerous flight from their home in a war zone. Sanna provides an empathetic exploration of the adjustment to a new land that all migrants experience."--New York Times Book Review “Authentic and immediate, the first-person narration draws in readers and reveals just how easily fear can become overwhelming and isolating, but can also be controlled when feelings are shared and through comfort found in friendship. Like Sanna’s The Journey, this book about an immigrant’s experiences tackles a tough topic with honesty, empathy, and a sense of hopefulness.”—School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW “This follow-up to The Journey about a refugee family fleeing a war-torn homeland, focuses on the young daughter’s apprehension as she adjusts to life in a new country and a new school.”—The Horn Book Review "[...] this creative depiction shows how friendship, empathy, and connection can help bring the overwhelming down to size for all." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW “A universal book that can be used to explain fear to readers and give empathy to those in a new environment.” —Kirkus Reviews “It will be a familiar story for many children, but the girl’s specific fears about language and difference might make this useful for discussions about newcomers as well.” —Booklist When a young immigrant girl has to travel to a new country and start at a new school, she is accompanied by her Fear who tells her to be alone and afraid, growing bigger and bigger every day with questions like "how can you hope to make new friends if you don't understand their language?" But this little girl is stronger than her Fear. A heart-warming and timely tale from the bestselling author and illustrator of The Journey, this book shows us the importance of sharing your Fear with others--after all, everyone carries a Fear with them, even if it's small enough to fit into their pocket!
