| |
by Carol L. Weaver |
| |
Pick up any book on "how to teach" and you will see a laundry list of instructional methods – the techniques, activities, and strategies designed to provide the learner with an opportunity to interact with the content.

| |

-- The Ideal Jurist or the Curmudgeon |
| |
by Hon. David Gersten |
| |
A good judge is one who follows the law, treats all with dignity and tries to accomplish justice whenever possible.

| |
Millions of people have decided they cannot write: a self-fulfilling prophecy that strangles confidence. Blame it on bad genes or the school system, this attitude has led to fear and anxiety among workers in a workplace that boasts of computers on every desk. When fear takes over, thinking shuts down, and that’s when the problem begins. more > |
