But time and again those reforms have failed, and each set of standards, no matter how new and different, has had little impact on improving student achievement. Why? The textbooks. Textbooks sell based on design and superficial features, not because they are based on the latest research on how children learn and how well they promote student achievement. In Tyranny of the Textbook, Beverlee Jobrack, retired from educational publishing, sheds light on why this happens. She gives an engaging and fascinating look behind-the-scenes of how K-12 textbooks are developed, written, adopted, and sold. And, perhaps most importantly, she clearly spells out how the system can change so that reforms and standards have a shot at finally being effective.Did you Know?—Reform efforts have focused on writing and rewriting standards and tests, but these rarely have any effect on the core curriculum that is published.—School districts and states don't use effectiveness as a criterion for evaluating and purchasing textbooks.—Publishers don't offer textbooks with better content or the latest teaching methods because teachers don't want textbooks that require them to change their practices.—Teachers report that they don't rely on a textbook in their class, but research shows that they do.—Three companies publish 75 percent of the K-12 educational materials.—Those three companies are producing similar programs with the same instructional strategies, none of which require teachers to change their practices significantly.—Publishers write textbooks for California and Texas. All the other markets have to make do with books only superficially adjusted for their states.

Exploring Theological English is an ESL/EFL textbook designed for high-intermediate to advanced learners of English, whether studying at an academic institution or independently. It is written from an evangelical view of Christianity.

During the course of study each student develops his own Latin-English handbook. All information concerning grammar and vocabulary is presented in a balanced combination of oral and written work. Students will hear, say, see, read, and write Latin and English constantly. In this way all students can learn with their strengths and yet also practice their weaknesses. This multisensory method of learning does far more to instill the information in the student s mind than a mere workbook method. Everything is clearly defined, and, equipped with the essential components, any student is able to analyze both English and Latin. Over 200 new Latin words are introduced which are derivatives for more than 1000 English words pronunciation of Latin accents and diphthongs Latin syntax, inflection, declension, conjugation, derivatives introduction to the 5 declensions and 4 conjugations function of noun cases: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, vocative first and second declension nouns in detail 4 principal parts of a verb all tenses of verbs of the first conjugation, indicative mood: present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect and future perfect synopsis of a verb the irregular verb sum in all 6 tenses enclitics and interrogative particles Latin prepositional phrases: ablative of place where, accusative place to which, ablative place from which, ablative of means, ablative of accompaniment, ablative of manner adjectives of the first and second declension, agreement and position of adjectives Latin prefixes and suffixes.The readings this year are primarily for pronunciation, flow of the Latin language, word identification, and optional memorization.
