Betty C. Tang

Heavy Paperback (2 to 4 lbs)

From New York Times bestselling comic artist Betty Tang comes an extraordinary story filled with humor and heart about three kids living on their own as undocumented new immigrants, inspired by the author's childhood experiences as a parachute kid. Ten-year-old Feng Li Lin is so excited for her family's first trip to the United States! Their amazing whirlwind tour of Los Angeles--including Disneyland and meeting Mickey Mouse!--is sure to make her the envy of her friends back home. But after an action-packed two weeks, she and her siblings--16-year-old sister, Jia Xi, and 14-year-old brother, Ke Gang--learn that they will remain indefinitely in California while first their father and then their mother returns to Taiwan. Suddenly Feng Li and her siblings are thrust into an alien world where even the local Chinese restaurant tastes nothing like home and the fear of being discovered by Immigration become a daily reality. As they navigate a new school, new names, a new language, and making new friends, they also contend with bullies and racism, the pressures of running a household, and the challenges of getting along with one another. But there are funny times too, as well as the generosity of neighbors and the kindness of new friends. With humor and insight, Parachute Kids digs deep into the hardships and psychological challenges of being left to fend for yourself in an unfamiliar place, while celebrating the comical moments and the incredible strength and courage it takes to make a life on your own.

How to Create Rigorous and Engaging Learning Experiences

It's no secret that in today's complex world, students face unparalleled demands as they prepare for college, careers, and active citizenship. However, those demands won't be met without a fundamental shift from traditional, teacher-centered instruction toward innovative, student-centered teaching and learning. For schools ready to make such a shift, project-based learning (PBL) offers a proven framework to help students be better equipped to tackle future challenges.

Project Based Teachers encourage active questioning, curiosity, and peer learning; create learning environments in which every student has a voice; and have a mastery of content but are also comfortable responding to students' questions by saying, ""I don't know. Let's find out together.""

In this book, Suzie Boss and John Larmer build on the framework for Gold Standard PBL originally presented in Setting the Standard for Project Based Learning and explore the seven practices integral to Project Based Teaching:
 * Build the Culture.
 * Design and Plan.
 * Align to Standards.
 * Manage Activities.
 * Assess Student Learning.
 * Scaffold Student Learning.
 * Engage and Coach.



For each practice, the authors present a wide range of practical strategies and include teachers' reflections about and suggestions from their classroom experiences.

This book and a related series of free videos provide a detailed look at what's happening in PBL classrooms from the perspective of the Project Based Teacher. Let's find out together.

Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel...and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.
