Schools do matter. There is a direct correlation between what schools teach, and what students learn and achieve. With this important study you'll explore the curriculum-learning connection, and the prospects for improving educational outcomes for all kids. Why Schools Matter emerged from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)--the largest ongoing educational research effort. TIMSS results have been widely reported in the popular press to underline how far the U.S. lags behind other Western countries in math and science achievement. This important study is the first comprehensive analysis of curriculum for teachers, school and district administrators, directors of curriculum, and educational policy makers.

We see them everywhere. Trolls hiding under bridges and on the internet. Great beasts creeping in the darkness or striding across the battlefield. Slithering in the depths of space. If you're really unlucky, you might even see one in the mirror. Inside these pages you'll find sixteen stories that range from the funny to the spine-tingling for your enjoyment.

A fresh take on a legendary tale, this anthology of thirteen short stories is a testament to just how eternal and timeless the story of King Arthur truly is. One recurring aspect of Arthurian literature is the notion that he will one day return as a messiah to save his people. Another hallmark of the King Arthur legend is that Merlin—wizard, prophet, and Arthur’s most trusted advisor—lives backwards through time. What if Merlin was actually advising multiple reincarnations of King Arthur during various points, and places, in time and history? And what if this all began at the end of time? King of Ages is an anthology like no other, showcasing stories that re-imagine King Arthur at several points in history, from the end of days all the way to the beginning of mankind. Featuring thirteen all-new stories by Paola K. Amaras • Patrick S. Baker • Josh Brown • Dale W. Glaser • Doug Goodman • Joanna Michal Hoyt • Philip Kuan • David W. Landrum • P. Andrew Miller • Mike Morgan • Alex Ness • C.A. Rowland • David Wiley "KING OF AGES is a fascinating and fitting testament to the endless versatility and creativity of Arthurian legend." --Lavinia Collins, author of The Guinevere Trilogy and The Morgan Trilogy "A wonderful collection of short stories, with many vivid imaginings of different Merlins and Arthurs across space and time. A must read for fans of the Arthurian legend, as well as anyone who loves good story." -- Katherine Sparrow, author of The Fay Morgan Chronicles
