"Exceptional Educational Leadership" is grounded in the author's personal experience of developing an experiential philosophy of exceptional educational leadership. Indeed, after the quality of teaching, leadership is the second most influential factor in the quality of education. For this reason, the educator who seeks to fully develop their capacities as a leader will be eager to engage with the bold idea that forms the central argument ...

Chileans love freedom. 200 years ago, Chile won her freedom. 500 years ago, Lautaro, a young Araucanian man, led his people to freedom. The Araucanian are the only Indian tribe on the American continent that forced Spain (1641), and Chile (1825) to recognize, and respect, their territory. They are free men and free women. It is this inheritance that has stood by Chile in her darkest hours. Across the centuries of recorded time, Chile is undefeated on the field of battle. I Love Chile.

Christmas. The birth of Christ. The first gifts of the Magi: Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh.

With the election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the USA, America once again is forced to realize that the real threat to its liberties has always come, not from its foreign enemies, but from its enemies within. As the case for President Trump’s treason and impeachment is laid before the American public daily, the time has come to re-examine the treason of Benedict Arnold (Patriot-turned-Traitor), by using a comparative analysis with Donald Trump.

For more than 400 years, the personal essay has fused elements of the critical essay with personal discovery. Through adopting a first-person narrative I am able to use a loose conversational tone whichallows me the possibility to situate the role of "Caller" or "Storyteller as a dialogic one. The "Response" to the various essays is then a shared one, within a number of constructs, including one in which both Caller and Responder are the same person, as demonstrated by various art forms in song, in speech and in the church liturgy tradition, both from African American church, Catholic ...

The International Baccalaureate education system is the best in the world. The global search for high-quality education, embedded in high-performing education systems, has taken on mythical proportions, almost resembling the alchemists’ quest to turn common metals into gold. It is my hope that the present day search for global education, equitable and providing equality of opportunity for all, shall not cease until the “gold” we seek, has been found. I therefore dedicate this book to all the educators, researchers, parents and students the world over, who strive to achieve this ...

Place yourself in the "shoes" of the speaker. You become Cato, ...
