UPDATED FEBRUARY 2015 with Current NCAA &amp; NAIA Rules. Written by Rick Allen, an NCAA Rules Expert with 25+ years experience working directly with the NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA rules and Founder of Informed Athlete™ - www.informedathlete.com, this book could save you time and THOUSANDS of dollars. Each year, parents spend thousands of dollars on lessons, equipment, competitive sports teams, and travel in the hopes that their son or daughter will be noticed by college athletic recruiters and offered an athletic scholarship. Their journey is often complicated by making costly mistakes due, in many cases, to not knowing or understanding the NCAA, NAIA, or NJCAA rules. Decisions made during the recruiting process can have HUGE and lasting impact both emotionally and financially later on. This book provides real-life advice and experiences that are typical of the many situations you will encounter if you are actively pursuing an athletic scholarship. In this book, you will learn how soon you should get started in the recruiting process, what you should do if you're not getting recruiting interest, what to look for and questions to ask on your campus visits, what academic requirements are needed to be eligible for an athletic scholarship, what to do if things don't work out and you need to transfer to another school, and what you should know BEFORE you go through the recruiting process. Some of the stories shared are based on situations I've encountered throughout my years on campus. Some of these stories include mistakes that were made in our own son's recruitment process despite my years of NCAA experience and expertise. <li>Rick Allen, Founder </li>

Where is U.S. secondary-level science education heading today? That's the question that The Essentials of Science, Grades 7-12 sets out to answer. Over the last century, U.S. science classes have consistently relied on lectures, textbooks, rote memorization, and lab demonstrations. But with the onset of NCLB-mandated science testing and increased concern over the United States' diminishing global stature in science and technology, public pressure is mounting to educate students for a deeper conceptual understanding of science.
Through lively examples of classroom practice, interviews with award-winning science teachers and science education experts, and a wide-ranging look at research, readers will learn
 * How to make use of research within the cognitive sciences to foster critical thinking and deeper understanding. * How to use backward design to bring greater coherence to the curriculum. * Innovative, engaging ideas for implementing scientific inquiry in the classroom. * Holistic strategies to address the complex problems of the achievement gap, equity, and resources in the science classroom. * Strategies for dealing with both day-to-day and NCLB assessments. * How professional learning communities and mentoring can help teachers reexamine and improve their practice.
Today's secondary science teachers are faced with an often-overwhelming array of challenges. The Essentials of Science, Grades 7-12 can help educators negotiate these challenges while making their careers more productive and rewarding.
