Brad Wilcox – författare

Here is a comprehensive view of all of the elements that are essential to developing effective literacy and providing the necessary gradual release of responsibility for reading and writing from teachers to students. Developing Literacy by Morrison and Wilcox gives teachers the “big picture” and helps them consistently implement what they know about reading and writing. It shows the connections with the Common Core State Standards and the IRA Standards, includes unique “Try This for Teaching” and “Try This for Professional Development” boxes to help apply the concepts, and features samples of teacher and student work to further illuminate the concepts.

Christianity is facing great opposition. No one is being thrown to the lions, but many followers of Christ face persecution because of their beliefs. At the very least, most know how it feels to end up on the wrong side of a politically correct conversation. More than ever before, we need believing and behaving disciples, men and women who are ready to stand up and stand together to change the world as early Christians did: one righteous choice at a time.

Filled with personal experiences and insightful stories, this book emphasizes the importance of living in accordance with our values every single day, with practical suggestions for how to actually pull it off. Christ does not just want people to acknowledge his grace, writes Brad Wilcox. He wants them to be transformed through it. Christ does not just want people to come to him. He wants them to become like him, a process that takes place seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year, and throughout all the years of our lives.
