Priesthood and Cult in Ancient Israel (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)
by Saul M. Olyan Gary A. AndersonDuring the last decade or so there has been a renewed interest in the study of cult and priesthood. The various individuals who have contributed essays to this volume are of both junior and senior rank and from both Christian and Jewish backgrounds. Certain essays represent the fruitful interchange that is now developing among historians of religion, anthropologists and biblical scholars. Others focus on parallels between aspects of Israelite religion and their counterparts in Canaanite and early Greek contexts. There are also contributions on the literary shape of the priestly law-code.
The Priests in the Prophets: The Portrayal of Priests, Prophets, and Other Religious Specialists in the Latter Prophets (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)
by Lester L. Grabbe Alice Ogden BellisSince at least the 19th century Hebrew Bible scholarship has traditionally seen priests and prophets as natural opponents, with different social spheres and worldviews. In recent years several studies have started to question this perspective. The Priests in the Prophets examines how the priests are portrayed in the Latter Prophets and analyzes the relationship between priests and prophets. The contributors also provide insights into the place of priests, prophets, and some other religious specialists in Israelite and Judean society in pre-exilic and post-exilic times.

Prima Klima: Schule ist mehr als Unterricht (Kritisch hinterfragt)
by Marion Reindl Burkhard GniewoszDieses Buch zeigt auf, was ein „PRIMA KLIMA“ für Schüler, Eltern und Lehrkräfte im Schulumfeld bedeutet und welche Faktoren die positive Wahrnehmung schulischer Umwelten prägen. Es richtet sich an alle Personen, die in den Bildungs- und Entwicklungsprozess von Kindern und Jugendlichen involviert sind. In unterhaltsamer Weise können sich sowohl Eltern, Lehrpersonen aber auch Jugendliche selbst über die Bedeutung eines PRIMA KLIMAS informieren. Die Schule ist für Kinder und Jugendliche ein wichtiger Ort sich neues Wissen anzueignen, Freundschaften zu schließen, aber auch Toleranz gegenüber anderen Einstellungen zu fördern. Nicht zuletzt ist die Schule auch ein Arbeitsplatz. Je nachdem wie PRIMA die schulische Umwelt wahrgenommen wird, desto positiver ist auch der Einfluss auf die Entwicklung von Schülerinnen und Schülern sowie Lehrerinnen und Lehrern. Für die Darstellung der schulischen Umwelt versucht dieses Buch eine ganzheitliche Sichtweise einzunehmen. Das heißt die Fragen dieses Werkes gehen über das Unterrichtsgeschehen hinaus: Welchen Einfluss hat die Wertschätzung von Bildung in Deutschland (Bildungsklima)? Welche Bedeutung hat die schulische Organisation (Schulklima)? Wie können Klassenkameraden das Bedürfnis der Zugehörigkeit erfüllen (Klassenklima)? Wie können Unterrichtsprozesse die Leistung beeinflussen (Unterrichtsklima)? Wo kommen diese Klimawahrnehmungen her? Wie können diese positiv beeinflusst bzw. verändert werden? Dieses Buch deckt gängige Mythen auf und ist ein Gewinn für alle, die sich über diese Thematik informieren möchten.
Primäre und sekundäre Effekte am Übertritt in die Sekundarstufe I: Zur Rolle von sozialer Herkunft und Migrationshintergrund
by Ilona RelikowskiIlona Relikowski behandelt das soziologisch und zugleich bildungs- und integrationspolitisch wichtige Thema der sozialen und migrationsspezifischen Disparitäten in der Bildungsbeteiligung am Beispiel des Übertritts in die Sekundarstufe I. Sie untersucht, inwieweit gruppenspezifisch differierende Übergangsquoten in weiterführende Schulen auf Variationen der schulischen Leistungen oder auf unterschiedliches Entscheidungsverhalten zurückzuführen sind und ob sich das Verhältnis dieser beiden Einflussgrößen im Zuge der Bildungsexpansion verändert hat. Zudem geht die Autorin den Fragen nach, inwiefern über soziale Disparitäten hinaus originär migrationsspezifische bzw. ethnische Disparitäten bestehen und wie sich die hohen Bildungsaspirationen von Zuwandererfamilien erklären lassen.

Primarily Math: A Problem Solving Approach (Grades 2-4)
by Sharon Eckert Judy LeimbachIt is important that schools emphasize a problem-solving approach to mathematics beginning in the early years and continuing through high school. Students should learn to value the process of solving problems, as well as getting the correct solutions. The strategies in this book will help students reason, develop their problem-solving strategies, grow in their ability to communicate mathematically, and develop confidence in their mathematical abilities.Five different problem-solving strategies are carefully taught using teacher-directed interactive introductory lessons. A series of practice problems follow the introductory lessons for each strategy. The strategies include: using a manipulative or acting out a problem, drawing a picture or diagram, extending a repeating pattern,making a table or list, and choosing relevant information. Each strategy is first introduced through several carefully presented problems that include introductory group lessons and instructional notes for the teachers. Additionally, the last section of the book presents a variety of problems that give students the opportunity to apply the problem-solving strategies they have learned. This is the perfect supplement to any primary math program, as well as an excellent resource for a math center. All problems are delightfully illustrated and reproducible.Grades 2-4

Primarily Problem Solving: Creative Problem Solving Activities (Grades 2-4)
by Sharon EckertCreative Problem Solving (CPS) is a process that allows people to apply both creative and critical thinking to find solutions to everyday problems. It is a way to enhance creative behavior and also a systematic way to organize information and ideas in order to solve problems. The overall goal of CPS training is to improve creative behavior and problem-solving behavior. The skills involved are: ability to select relevant information ability to summarize information ability to analyze social situations, ability to think creatively to generate possible solutions, ability to evaluate options based on given criteria, ability to plan activities to accomplish a goal, and ability to make inferences. Primarily Problem Solving allows you to give your younger students a head start on problem solving. This book presents creative problem solving in a step-by-step manner young children can understand and enjoy. Use the CPS process to solve the problems of the Three Little Pigs, Rapunzel, and the Frog Prince, as well as more common family problems. Each problem includes illustrated worksheets to take students through each step of the problem-solving process. Teaching notes give instructors additional ideas for using creative problem-solving techniques in the classroom.Fun problems and step-by-step guides will take students successfully from the fuzzy beginning to an effective end. The end result is confidence in being able to think through a solution, rather than just latching on to the most obvious solution. Use these exercises as a part of your thinking skills class or creativity training, as supplementary reading assignments, or as a technique to solve conflicts in the classroom.Expand your knowledge of CPS even more with Primarily Creativity.Grades 2-4

Primary and Secondary Education During Covid-19: Disruptions to Educational Opportunity During a Pandemic
by Fernando M. ReimersThis open access edited volume is a comparative effort to discern the short-term educational impact of the covid-19 pandemic on students, teachers and systems in Brazil, Chile, Finland, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the first academic comparative studies of the educational impact of the pandemic, the book explains how the interruption of in person instruction and the variable efficacy of alternative forms of education caused learning loss and disengagement with learning, especially for disadvantaged students. Other direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic diminished the ability of families to support children and youth in their education. For students, as well as for teachers and school staff, these included the economic shocks experienced by families, in some cases leading to food insecurity and in many more causing stress and anxiety and impacting mental health. Opportunity to learn was also diminished by the shocks and trauma experienced by those with a close relative infected by the virus, and by the constrains on learning resulting from students having to learn at home, where the demands of schoolwork had to be negotiated with other family necessities, often sharing limited space. Furthermore, the prolonged stress caused by the uncertainty over the resolution of the pandemic and resulting from the knowledge that anyone could be infected and potentially lose their lives, created a traumatic context for many that undermined the necessary focus and dedication to schoolwork. These individual effects were reinforced by community effects, particularly for students and teachers living in communities where the multifaceted negative impacts resulting from the pandemic were pervasive. This is an open access book.
