Malls, stadiums, and universities are actually liturgical structures that influence and shape our thoughts and affections. Humans--as Augustine noted--are "desiring agents," full of longings and passions; in brief, we are what we love. James K. A. Smith focuses on the themes of liturgy and desire in Desiring the Kingdom, the first book in what will be a three-volume set on the theology of culture. He redirects our yearnings to focus on the greatest good: God. Ultimately, Smith seeks to re-vision education through the process and practice of worship. Students of philosophy, theology, worldview, and culture will welcome Desiring the Kingdom, as will those involved in ministry and other interested readers.

The story tore at my heart and, more than once, I felt my eyes well up with tears. Then I felt the joy of Ms. Vijay's faith that God would rejoin them in heaven. I felt the powerful strength that Rebecca showed throughout this book, and I'm so grateful that she share this very personal part of her life with us. I am proud to say that I am a *virtual* acquaintance of Rebecca's." Denise "This is one of those rare reads where the author has the ability to connect with you on a soul level in pure honesty. Even though I've never lost a child, I have lost family members and could connect with her emotional journey. The poignant thing this book points out, is that the usual consoling comments we receive from people, often times cause more stress than help. A reminder to us all to be aware of our words during times of grief and stress." Brenda "Very moving, honest and praise-worthy. It will take you on a very intimate and emotional ride. Highly recommended." Elen "It's true that the emotional pain hurts more than physical pain..." Sheetal

WhatIfEdu examines our systems of education from twelve different perspectives. Each WhatIf question compels us to reflect on changes we can bring about in our education systems, building on the experiences of practitioners from across the world. WhatIfEdu prompts you to rethink education and to adapt innovations in governance, pedagogy, techniques, technology, skills and processes to your local contexts. It is a compelling starting point in the conversation around change in your system of education. How do we structure time better to allow reflection and personalize learning? How do we structure groups so that they are porous or permeable and open to ideas, and interactions, reflective of the abilities and interests of our children? How do we integrate curricula such that themes form the basis of learning in the classroom? How can teachers engage in reflective and collaborative practices to both learn and teach, in a rigorous and open manner? How can we better handle mixed abilities within our diverse classrooms? Are we industriously creating degrees? Shouldn't we reward every child's achievements and aggregate them into portfolios that more truly reflect their abilities? Which new skills and specializations must teachers acquire to meet the demands of the new age digital economy? How can teachers use games, gamification and simulations to enhance impact in the classroom, build 21st century skills and adopt new age assessment methods? How can we encourage our children to engage openly and constructively with makers in the giant laboratory that is our world? How can massive open online courses (MOOCs) really live up to their promise? How can school ownership be vested in the people who are most impacted by it? How can we wisely employ humor in our classrooms? REVIEWS Baxi has assembled a set of wonderful and seriously educative narratives through 12 reflective scenarios which are a response to simple looking but very difficult challenges to the education system itself. I have high hopes that WhatIfEDU will create many 'Islands of light' by illuminating the minds of the readers. - Dr. Vasudha Kamat, Former Vice Chancellor, SNDT Women's University, Mumbai and Member, Committee for Draft National Education Policy of India (2018) WhatIfEDU is a refreshing and timely work that stimulates the reader to rethink the present system of education. It was a delight reading it. I hope that all readers will find it engaging, stimulating and help them firm up their own personal educational philosophy. - Prof. M M Pant, Former Pro-Vice Chancellor at Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) A brilliant and thought provoking book that manages to start a conversation about the Holy Grail - our education system. With its extensive research, the book is a minefield of resources and ideas. - Anuradha Rai, Principal, Ambience Public School, Gurugram and Lead of ECHO Education A superb compilation of simple, yet powerful thoughts and ideas to change the face of education. A must have tool kit for all Educators. Baxi's powerful "out of the box" narrative provokes and provides educators with simple to implement strategies at their institutions. - Girish Gopalakrishnan, Founder, Wiksate The "what if" questions are very relevant and so is the commentary, analysis and insight! - Manish Upadhyay, Edtech Advisor, Entrepreneur & Investor The lucid synthesis of the best practices globally are eye opening.

A thinking student is an engaged student Teachers often find it difficult to implement lessons that help students go beyond rote memorization and repetitive calculations. In fact, institutional norms and habits that permeate all classrooms can actually be enabling "non-thinking" student behavior. Sparked by observing teachers struggle to implement rich mathematics tasks to engage students in deep thinking, Peter Liljedahl has translated his 15 years of research into this practical guide on how to move toward a thinking classroom. Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics, Grades K–12 helps teachers implement 14 optimal practices for thinking that create an ideal setting for deep mathematics learning to occur. This guide Provides the what, why, and how of each practice and answers teachers’ most frequently asked questions Includes firsthand accounts of how these practices foster thinking through teacher and student interviews and student work samples Offers a plethora of macro moves, micro moves, and rich tasks to get started Organizes the 14 practices into four toolkits that can be implemented in order and built on throughout the year When combined, these unique research-based practices create the optimal conditions for learner-centered, student-owned deep mathematical thinking and learning, and have the power to transform mathematics classrooms like never before.
