For the Children’s Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School (Child-Life Book) (Child-Life Book)

For the Children's Sake: Foundations of Education for Home and School (Child-Life Book) (Child-Life Book) For the Children’s Sake is a book about what education can be–for your child, in your home, and in your school. It is based first on a Christian understanding of what it means to be human–to be a child, a parent, a teacher–and on the Christian meaning of life. At the same time it is deeply practical. Many of the central ideas have been tried and proven true over a century in almost every kind of educational situation. The ideas are in fact so true that they can be applied equally at home, in different schools, in Africa, in the inner city, and in your own community. But they are also ideas which Susan and her husband Ranald Macaulay have tried and proven in their own family and school experience.

In addition to the expense associated with buying consumable workbooks annually, there is also the issue of relevance. While some workbooks are superior products that truly do enhance learning, most experienced teachers know that the best educational approaches do not all come from a single source. Most educators like to use certain worksheets from certain books when teaching a particular lesson. Oftentimes, they will use different materials from different sources for other lessons. They also like to use worksheets and activities they have created themselves.
With all of the administrative responsibilities that teachers have on top of their teaching assignments, time can be scarce. Making copies can be time-consuming, especially for those who choose to make a few copies everyday so that loose papers do not accumulate in the classroom. Wouldn’t it be great to have your own consumable workbooks designed by you […]
