The rest of the world is also preparing to incorporate online teaching into their education system to some extent. In both cases, teachers will need to step out of their comfort zone and dive straight into the alien world of online teaching. If you’re a teacher, or someone aspiring to become one, this prospect might scare you, especially if you’re not tech-savvy or haven’t had experience with online teaching tools.

Number One Amazon Best Seller!
College-bound? College Bound Organizer is your step-by-step comprehensive guide to organize every step of the college application process, from college search through college admission.
College admissions is tougher than ever. Between now and 2020, about 90 million high schoolers in the US will try to get into college. And, nearly three million students are expected to enroll as first-time freshmen in degree-granting institutions in the United States this school year. Each of these students will apply to many schools - five, 10, perhaps as many as 20 - and each of those applications has a daunting number of T’s to cross and I’s to dot. With standardized test-taking and school visits, the college application essay to write and forms to fill out, there is so much to do. Applying to college is intimidating and overwhelming for both teenagers and parents.
If you intend to be college-bound, the challenge is to be well informed, prepared, focused, and organized throughout the multi-step college search and admission process. Your solution is The College Bound Organizer, the ultimate guide to help students effectively navigate this very complicated and stressful process.
"Using The College Bound Organizer is one way to help you stay focused on what is really important." (Edward B. Fiske, best-selling author of Fiske Guide to Colleges)

Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their PhDs. And each year only a small percentage of them will land jobs that justify and reward their investments. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts and many more who simply give up in frustration. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help job seekers join the select few who get the most out of their PhDs.

Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their PhDs. And each year only a small percentage of them will land jobs that justify and reward their investments. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts and many more who simply give up in frustration. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help job seekers join the select few who get the most out of their PhDs.

Americans are taught to believe that upward mobility is possible for anyone who is willing to work hard, regardless of their social status. Yet it is often those from affluent backgrounds who land the best jobs. Pedigree takes listeners behind the closed doors of top-tier investment banks, consulting firms, and law firms to reveal the truth about who really gets hired for the nation's highest-paying entry-level jobs, who doesn't, and why.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Worksheets not Available in Audible Version
The performance is appropriate to the content and the content is good. However, the WHOLE book is worksheet based and the Audible version does not make the worksheets available to print or even view. Not worth the price or the time to listen without the worksheets.
