Checklists help us work better. They help us manage complex tasks more effectively and ensure we apply what we know correctly and consistently. They've become indispensable for airline pilots and doctors, but can this low-tech approach to planning and problem solving demand a place in the teacher's toolkit? Teaching is complicated, with challenging decisions and important consequences, but it's in the most complex situations that a straightforward checklist can be the most useful. Goodwin and Hubbell present 12 daily touchstones simple and specific things any teacher can do every day to keep classroom practice focused on the hallmarks of effective instruction and in line with three essential imperatives for teaching: * Be demanding: Align teaching with high expectations for learning. * Be supportive: Provide a nurturing learning environment. * Be intentional: Know why you're doing what you're doing. If there were one thing you could do each day to help one student succeed, you'd do it, wouldn t you? What about three things to help three students? What if there were 12 things you could do every day to help all of your students succeed? There are, and you'll find them here.

So many women leading in higher education have stories to tell and advice to give - but don't yet have a platform. This book is our first foray into providing that platform.Throughout this collection of 34 essays, you will hear voices from every level of leadership and across every sector of higher education. You will read stories of strength, advocacy, and support as well as be privy to the pain, anger, and resilience that is part of being a woman in higher education. Most importantly, you will hear their advice for moving forward - whether it's during those pivotal moments in meetings ... to making career-impacting decisions ... to launching campus-wide initiatives. The contributors, ranging from faculty and mid-level directors in offices across the institution to past and current university presidents, offer strategies for: <ul><li>Risk taking and authentic leadership</li><li>Confronting the imposter syndrome</li><li>Conflict management</li><li>Influencing without authority</li><li>Leading and thriving as women of color</li><li>Relationship building and opening the door for others</li><li>Making the case for yourself and your initiatives</li><li>Advocating for equity in hiring and allocation of work</li><li>Negotiation</li><li>Defining your success</li></ul>We hope our contributors' stories and advice will be useful to you and yourcolleagues!"No matter where you are in your leadership journey, there is something here for you.

I highly recommend this book." - Kyra Lobbins, Deputy Chief of Staff, Clemson University

Vinyasa and vino. Women, Wine, and Warrior 2. No matter where you look, alcohol is everywhere, even pervading sacrosanct health and wellness venues. While the harms of tobacco and "hard" drugs are well-known, alcohol has somehow gotten a pass in modern society. Until very recently, it was even recommended to drink a glass of wine per evening for heart health. We are finally awakening to the harms of even small amounts of alcohol, but this presents a new challenge for people dedicated to making healthful choices. How can we omit something that has become such a celebrated part of our everyday lives?In this book, Elizabeth Ross Hubbell uses the time-honored principles of Ashtanga Yoga to help you rethink that nightly glass (or three) of wine. We'll explore some of the most recent findings on the harms of alcohol and how Patanjali's teachings from 2,000 years ago remain relevant in our pursuit of living our healthiest, happiest lives.
