Can the Ketogenic diet be an effective and safe therapy or aid to treat Alzheimer's Disease?This book, written in simple common-day language, is a comprehensive research and recompilation of the most currently available scientific research, to answer this question, which could potentially represent the most important recent breakthrough in the treatment of this terrible personality, mind and soul destroying disease. You are invited to learn, question and dig deeper in order contribute to the ongoing discussion always sharing and contrasting your findings and what you learn with your professional MD and other health practitioners. The actions you promptly take could significantly impact the quality of life of your loved one, yourself and all other's around.

Project-Based Learning PLUS Social and Emotional Learning equals student and educator successImagine not only helping kids reach their potential academically but as citizens in society as well. In this groundbreaking new book, you will learn how!Take project-based learning (PBL)-in which students develop educational skills like research, critical thinking, and teamwork-to the next level by enhancing it with personal competencies like self-management, social awareness, and responsible decision-making. Written by an expert in PBL, student well-being, and technology with different levels of educator PBL experience in mind, this guide to harnessing the power of these approaches provides: The five elements of the PBL+ Framework Tools and rubrics that help you engage all students and assess their projects Ways to align PBL with the five SEL competencies outlined by CASEL Tips for putting PBL+ into practice to facilitate your own teaching plansThe framework described in this book, grounded by research and supported by practical steps, is replicable in any classroom and provides educators guidance for strengthening their instructional practice to create an empowering student experience.

"Social and emotional learning has been proven to advance equity, but many educators still do not have the resources actively engage with it. In his new book Raising Equity Through SEL, Jorge Valenzuela unveils his five step Equity and SEL Integration framework and dives into research-backed strategies for engaging with students of all backgrounds and building classrooms safe for all learners. Using ideas like restorative justice and culturally responsive teaching, educators will learn how to help students develop emotional intelligence, improve students' knowledge, and confront personal biases in order to help all learners succeed"--

This guide gives educators a five-step framework to implement social-emotional learning (SEL) with their students to help them achieve success in school and life. Not all educators teach in districts where training in SEL and related topics such as restorative justice, trauma-informed teaching and culturally responsive teaching is readily available. In this six-page guide, author and educator Jorge Valenzuela introduces educators to the Equity and SEL Integration Framework that will help them understand core SEL competencies and design lessons that activate SEL in their curriculum. The guide features: Online videos that explain each element of the Equity and SEL Integration Framework.Clear explanation of SEL and the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning's (CASEL) five core competencies.Resources for understanding and addressing implicit bias.Links to templates for empathy maps and emotions planners.Information on edtech tools that can be used to integrate SEL.Additional resources for understanding SEL and developing an SEL integration plan.(ISTE Jump Start Guide, 8.5" x 11", 3 laminated panels, 6 pages, 25-pack bundle)

This six-page laminated reference guide shares practical strategies, tools and lesson ideas for incorporating robotics and computational thinking into your teaching. Robotics is an excellent tool for teaching vital computational thinking (CT) and programming skills by allowing students to see and interpret results in real time. Not only are robots highly motivating for students, they can be easily incorporated into the subjects you teach or as part of an after-school club. Based on the book Rev Up Robotics: Real-World Computational Thinking in the K-8 Classroom by Jorge Valenzuela, this guide will quickly get you up to speed on how to introduce CT and robotics in elementary and middle school classes. The guide features: An overview of computational thinking and resources for teaching CT concepts.Ideas for weaving robotics into math, science, social studies and English language arts.Advice for creating an after-school robotics club or getting started with competitive robotics.>

Provides practical guidance for teachers, along with examples of technology-rich, learner-centred student projects covering a range of timely and cross-curricular topics such as endangered animal populations, maintenance of oceans, rebounding of bee populations and urban air quality.

Unlike other robotics books and curriculum, Rev Up Robotics takes a cross-curricular approach, showing educators how to begin incorporating robotics into their content area lessons and in conjunction with other subjects. Jorge Valenzuela lays out the foundational skills of computational thinking required for programming with robotics.
