David Busch’s story of relationship building and teaching strategies is a wonderful resource for young or aspiring teachers. In a time of negativity toward the profession, his outlook and anecdotes offer a refreshing alternative. Parents and students will also be able to gain insight into the importance of fostering communication and relationships with teachers. Teaching - A Journey of Trust, is the story of a very successful teaching career. As the title implies teaching is a journey. It is a journey in which teachers develop strategies and tactics that prepare students for their future. “We do not teach subjects, we teach people. Few students remember the formulas, character plots, and political theories they learn in school. If we’re successful however, they learn to think critically, collaborate, and solve problems - skills that will last the rest of their lives. In order to accomplish this we must nurture trust. Parents and students must learn to trust teachers, and teachers must trust their students and parents. We’re all on the same side.” (David Busch) This is the impetus behind Teaching – A Journey of Trust. David Busch wants the reader to see what is possible if we work on relationships, and make them part of teaching. Negativity is contagious, and there is far too much of it in Education. The reader will find no negative stories within these pages. New or struggling teachers will find insight and strategies to help overcome obstacles and difficult situations. Humorous anecdotes and heartwarming stories help the reader to experience a first person account of a teaching career. This collection of stories and strategies illustrate what is possible if you remain positive and believe in yourself. “As a small town teacher, my community and career were intertwined. I developed a relationship first approach. Teaching American History was entwined with teaching about life. We also had a lot of fun.” (David Busch)

Available immediately from USA sellers! Finally, my Canon EOS 7D II Fast Track Guide is available as a 568-page full color Print On Demand book! Note that to keep the cost for this book as low as possible, it was converted directly from the ebook version, so there is no index. However, a detailed table of contents should help you find the information you need. (Hiring a professional indexer would have raised the price of the book significantly, and readers have told me they'd prefer a full-color book at a price they can afford, rather than no book at all or a black-and-white book.) If you've invested in a camera as sophisticated as the Canon EOS 7D II, you're looking for more than good pictures -- you demand outstanding photos. After all, the 7D II is the most advanced APS-C format camera that Canon has ever introduced. It boasts 20 megapixels of resolution, blazing-fast automatic focus, and cool features like full high-definition movie shooting. But your gateway to pixel proficiency is dragged down by the slim little book included in the box as a manual. You know everything you need to know is in there, somewhere, but you don't know where to start. In addition, the camera manual doesn't offer much information on photography or digital photography. Nor are you interested in spending hours or days studying a comprehensive book on digital SLR still photography that doesn't necessarily apply directly to your 7D II.What you need is a guide that explains the purpose and function of the 7D II's basic controls, how you should use them, and why. Ideally, there should be information about file formats, resolution, exposure, and special autofocus modes available, but you'd prefer to read about those topics only after you've had the chance to go out and take a few hundred great pictures with your new camera. Why isn't there a book that summarizes the most important information in its first two or three chapters, with lots of illustrations showing what your results will look like when you use this setting or that? Now there is such a book. If you want a quick introduction to the 7D II's focus controls, wireless flash synchronization options, how to choose lenses, or which exposure modes are best, this book is for you. If you can't decide on what basic settings to use with your camera because you can't figure out how changing ISO or white balance or focus defaults will affect your pictures, you need this guide.

Let me be your mentor and guide to all the features of the a99 II in this full color printed and Kindle book. Note that traditional publishers felt the installed base of the a99 II didn't justify a conventional book, but I love this camera so much I elected to publish it at my own expense. Although similar guides have been published in black-and-white versions at this price point, I felt that serious photographers deserved a full-color book. That was only possible by converting directly from the ebook version, so there is no index. However, a detailed table of contents should help you find the information you need. Hiring a professional indexer would have significantly raised the price of the book, and most readers have said they'd prefer color Print on Demand hard copies. If you feel you must use an index rather than browse the Table of Contents, don't buy this book -- or use the Kindle version instead, which allows you to search for specific content that is presented in context. In a few short years, Sony has gone from being a Nikon and Canon competitor to an acknowledged innovator with a lineup of cameras that are smaller, lighter, faster to focus, and loaded with cutting-edge features that many of us have been dreaming about. So, it's no wonder you're excited about your new Sony a99 II, a powerful camera with professional features, including an improved sensor, rugged body, and Ultra High Definition 4K video. With all these features at your disposal, you don't expect to take good pictures with such a camera -- you demand and anticipate outstanding photos. However, your gateway to pixel proficiency is dragged down by the limited instructions provided by Sony. Over the years, Sony has reduced the amount of useful information included in its printed guidebooks, often to a scant few pages, and relegated more detailed instructions to online HTML-based guides and PDF versions that are difficult to navigate. And, sad to say, not everything you need to know is included. What you really need is a guide that explains the purpose and function of the cameras' basic controls, how you should use them, and why. That's what I am giving you in this book. If you want a quick introduction to focus controls or which exposure modes are best, this book is for you. If you can't decide on what basic settings to use with your camera because you can't figure out how changing ISO or white balance or focus defaults will affect your pictures, you need this guide.
