A longstanding misconception surrounding the term French noir suggests that the post-war French thriller and film noir were a development of, or response to, a pre-existing American tradition. This book challenges this misconception, examining the complexity of this trans-Atlantic exchange and refocusing debate to include a Franco-French lineage.

Drawing on a wide literature that ranges from Dewey to Duckworth, the authors demonstrate the conceptual basis for constructivist theory, extend that analysis to the literature on educational leadership, and apply that knowledge in case studies of administrative practice. The text redefines leadership, distinguishing it from both historical and current notions, and describes strategies that will enable educators to make fundamental changes in schools.

''I can do the lesson myself. It helps me talk to my parents about Jesus." -Ryder C.- youth "This simple practical Bible study method introduces an easily learned, sound way to study the scriptures well suited for church youth groups as well as those of other ages." -Dottie C., MS in School Psychology Timothy, Walking By Faith As A Youth is an 11-week Bible Study with Leaders Discussion Guide on 1st & 2nd Timothy. A daily study about 15 minutes a day with Bible reading, answering a few questions, how it applies in today's challenging world, and space to write a prayer. Practical and applicable for youth and adults alike as it helps develop a daily personal time with God. Over 250 questions in the study. Here's a sneak peak of some questions: Paul chose Timothy to join him, would Paul choose you? What does it mean to deny one's faith? Are you afraid to face God? How does one guard their heart? Are you ashamed of your faith in Jesus Christ around others? A Christian wife, mother and grandmother from the Northwest. I enjoy piano, quilting, cooking, gardening, my dogs and working with Childrens Ministry in my church. I studied at Moody Bible College Northwest, graduating from Grace Bible College. Through Childrens Ministry, the LORD laid on my heart to write material helping students grow in understanding God's Word. Starting with Bible lessons on doctrinal truths I witnessed their faith deepen and understanding grow. My writing includes daily Bible reading plans with questions and application. My passion comes from Matthew 13:19, with my prayer for today's youth to be strong in the LORD and stand firm.
