Let This Mind;
Leadership formed in the soil of followershipJohn 12:26a...If any man serve me, let him follow me: This is where the revolution began for me, and I hope it does for anyone reading this manual for success with God. As I found, It is possible to serve God without truly following Him. When service becomes the measure of our relationship with the Lord, familiarity and reluctance can replace devotion. This book reveals how disciplined followership transforms ambition into integrity, shaping character, purifying motives, and aligning our lives with God's greater purpose rather than self-serving goals.This text highlights the spiritual paradox that true authority in God's kingdom is rooted in the posture of following. Alexander O. Emoghene argues that leadership is not a destination, but a process refined through humility, active listening, and faithful service, guided by both the Holy Spirit and earthly mentors. Using biblical figures like Joshua and Elisha, the book illustrates that greatness is cultivated in the shadows of obedience rather than the spotlight of ambition. Key themes include the necessity of continual repentance to remain teachable and the development of daily habits that transform a follower's character. Ultimately, I will be the happiest if this book, along with the workbook, serves as a guide for the next generation to lead with integrity and lasting impact by first mastering the art of followership.

Photons - The Real Time Lords
About one hundred years ago, new discoveries involving the nature of fundamental particles challenged some of the laws of classical physics and our understanding of reality. Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein became involved in an argument about the nature of reality, epitomised by Einstein's claim that "God does not play dice with the universe," expressing his scepticism about the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics and the concept of inherent randomness in the universe. Today the argument has long been settled in Bohr's favour, and quantum theory is firmly established as the most successful theory in the history of science. At the very core of quantum theory is the wave-particle duality of matter, wherein fundamental particles like electrons and photons can be observed to behave both like particles and also like waves depending on the circumstances. Today there is increasing speculation that all particles and even larger compound objects may also have a quantum wave function. Photons stand at the edge of this new reality because, unlike electrons, they have no rest mass, and yet they are attracted by the force of gravity. Black holes swallow up anything that comes too close, including photons, leading to the idea that nothing can escape their influence, not even light. However, there is evidence that black holes also radiate energy, producing a form of electromagnetic radiation, photons that energise the continual expansion of our universe. Adding to their mystique, photons also appear to manipulate time, as evidenced in the classic "double slit" experiment, during which photons appear to show retrograde action, reversing in time to go backwards and change the images formed on a screen. All this and more has led the author to see photons as "the real Time Lords".
Human Behaviour
The author spent his early childhood in Rainford, a village situated approximately halfway between Liverpool and Manchester in the north of England. It was a time of great uncertainty in Europe as England and her allies resisted the expansion of Nazi Germany. People in uniforms were everywhere, and it was not just those serving in the military, like the Royal Navy and Merchant Marine operating out of Liverpool, the Royal Air Force and flight crew from the USA based at Burtonwood and local members of the Army and Home Brigade. Additionally, there was everyday contact with fire wardens, police officers, railway staff, vicars, priests, doctors, nurses and Land Army girls in what seemed a never-ending parade of different uniforms, hats, assorted weapons and vehicles and other symbols of office. It appeared that the only ones out of a uniform were in his school, too young or too old to be called up to support the war effort. Even as a child, he soon realised that the people wearing a particular uniform were expected to behave in a certain way. Policemen were always around to make sure you behaved in a proper manner when out of the reach of parents or teachers and not inclined to pinch apples from someone's orchard. Anyone serving in the military became the embodiment of the heroes shown on the movie screen and was held in great awe. Religious leaders were around to record births, deaths and marriages and to make sure that in between times you went to Sunday School and attended church. In many ways the situation was surreal; toy soldiers could be put away in a box when you had finished your make-believe war games, along with the policeman, the railway inspector and sundry other tin replicas. The real 'uniforms' were different, of course and they had families and friends, and you couldn't just put them away in a box at the end of the day; they were made of flesh and blood, and then quite suddenly some weren't around anymore.

Instilling Ethical Excellence Vol 2
The question is: What kind of world do we want to live in? The question appears time and again in the pages that follow. It is not a trifling one. We make the world we live in one act and one decision at a time, small and not so small. Few of us pause long enough to think deeply as we go about our everyday lives, busily meeting our everyday needs. It has taken far longer than it should have, but finally the field of applied ethics has expanded its horizons to return to the teaching of ethics across the age spans of elementary school-age children. In the early to mid-1800s, William Holmes McGuffey created a series of books (McGuffey's Readers) that taught character development lessons to lay a foundation of moral and ethical precepts in very young hearts. Several generations of teachers fed the lessons of the Readers into several generations of their students, only to find their Readers falling into subsequent disuse. We are returning to the old to do something new. Taking ethics education farther and farther back into younger and younger student cohorts is no longer out of fashion. Philosopher ethicists are stepping out of their academic ivory towers to create new and innovative age-correlated ethics teaching resources. Education has gotten increasingly technical to the abandonment of the ethical. But all is not lost. Research in early childhood development shows that kids as young as two years old possess rudimentary forms of "morality" relating to judgements such as good/bad, right/wrong, and fair/unfair, among others. As publications multiply, focusing on the expanding domain of applied ethics, educational resources are needed to assist teachers in their classroom ethics teaching activities. Today, more than ever, we need resources to raise ethically minded adults-in-the-making able to stand well above today's cultural currents, see dangers, and make fine-grained decisions as to the right and wrong of things.

Bridging Worlds
Heritage languages do more than connect us to the past-they shape the fabric of our shared future.Bridging Worlds: The Power of Heritage Languages in Social Cohesion brings together leading scholars, educators, and community advocates from around the globe to explore how heritage languages strengthen identity, foster belonging, and build inclusive societies. Through research, case studies, and lived experiences spanning North America, Europe, Africa, and beyond, this volume reveals the profound role that ancestral languages play in civic participation, intergenerational solidarity, and community resilience.From bilingual classrooms and immigrant families to policy frameworks and grassroots initiatives, the contributors show that heritage languages are not relics to be preserved but dynamic resources that evolve with each generation. They illuminate how multilingual learners negotiate hybrid identities, how families sustain emotional and cultural ties across continents, and how communities mobilize language as a tool for equity and social cohesion-even in times of crisis.Whether examining the Seal of Biliteracy in the United States, European multilingual policies, Portuguese and Korean heritage education, diasporic youth experiences, or innovative digital language communities, Bridging Worlds calls for a fundamental shift: to recognize heritage languages as powerful public goods that enrich our civic life, promote cross-cultural understanding, and strengthen the bonds that hold diverse societies together.A vital resource for educators, policymakers, researchers, community organizers, and anyone committed to multilingualism, equity, and the cultural vibrancy of our interconnected world.

Facing Tomorrow
Facing Tomorrow: This book is a journey through profound loss, enduring love, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when life asks the impossible. In September 2014, Tonya Jones lost her husband, the man who had been her partner, her anchor, and the foundation of their family. As she and her son struggled to navigate a world forever altered by grief, Tonya did what many mothers do: she pushed her own pain aside to help her child survive his. Just as she began to find a fragile rhythm in this new life, tragedy struck again. In May 2023, Tonya lost her son, shattering her heart in a way no parent should ever experience. As she struggled to stand beneath the weight of unimaginable grief, life delivered yet another blow. In April 2024, Tonya lost her mother: her source of wisdom, comfort, and unconditional love. With each loss, the ground beneath her shifted, forcing her to grieve not just the people she loved, but the version of life she once knew. Written with honesty, vulnerability, and faith, this book does not offer easy answers or quick healing. Instead, it explores what it means to mourn deeply while still choosing to love, to remember, and to live. It captures the rawness of grief, the strength found in family, and the sacred ways memories keep those we love close. It also shines a light on the realities of mental health, hidden pain, and the importance of speaking openly about loss, especially when silence can be deadly. This is not a story about "moving on." It is a story about learning how to carry love forward: through heartbreak, through faith, and through the long journey of healing that follows loss. Written for anyone who has lost a spouse, a child, a parent, or a part of themselves along the way, this book is both a testimony and an offering: a reminder that grief does not mean the absence of love, and that even in the deepest sorrow, love remains.

Ten Lives
What nobody honestly explains during your PhD or postdoc is this: there isn't one "real" academic career. There are dozens-and most of them are invisible.You've absorbed a hidden curriculum without realizing it. Research beats teaching. Permanent beats temporary. Staying means success; leaving means failure. These unspoken rules shape how you evaluate your options and judge yourself.But some of the most fulfilled academics have never held a tenure-track position. And some of the most miserable have achieved everything the standard path promised.The problem isn't you. The problem is the map you were given.This book offers a different map.Ten fictional early-career academics. Ten different paths through the academic landscape. Set across seven Moroccan cities-because specific places make universal patterns vivid-and grounded in real conversations with hundreds of researchers, educators, and clinicians worldwide.Why fiction? Because invented characters can be honest in ways real people, with reputations to protect, cannot. The characters are fictional. The patterns are real.Inside, you'll meet: The teaching-focused academic who finds her deepest meaning in work that the metrics don't reward, and how she made peace with that trade-off.The clinician-educator building simulation programs between emergency shifts in a role that doesn't officially exist; and why he wouldn't trade it.The researcher watching his grant expire while questioning what discovery even means, and the simple framework that clarified his next move.The scientist who left academia for EdTech and discovered her skills traveled further than she imagined, and what she lost in the exchange.The policy-linked researcher translating evidence into legislation on timelines no journal comprehends-and the identity tension that never fully resolves.This book won't tell you which path is right for you. That would be a lie-I don't know your values, your constraints, or your history. Only you can discover what fits.But I can make the invisible paths visible. I can help you feel what different academic lives are actually like-not the CV version, but the Tuesday afternoon version-so you can try them on before you stake years on a direction you've never truly seen.About the author: Nabil Zary has built an academic career across four countries and three continents-from Morocco to Sweden to Singapore to Dubai. Now Professor of Medical Education, he wrote this book after watching hundreds of early-career academics struggle with the same question he once faced: What kind of scholar do I actually want to become?Ten Lives is the first book in the Designing Your Academic Life trilogy. Designed for use in faculty development programs and postdoc career workshops.If you're a PhD student wondering what comes next... a postdoc on your third temporary contract... a clinician with teaching work no one recognizes... someone sensing there's more to the landscape than you've been shown...You're not alone. And you're not broken for wanting something different.

That's Not Strategy
That's Not Strategy challenges the idea that busyness and planning equal progress in schools. Michael Parsons draws on two decades of international experience to show that real strategy begins with clarity, purpose, and intentional choices. Through relatable stories from classrooms and leadership rooms around the world, and through the lens of the Bullseye Strategy Model, he illustrates how values-aligned decisions create measurable impact.At its core, this book reminds us that strategy is not a document but a discipline. It is the ability to choose what truly matters, to say no when needed, and to build schools where people feel a sense of direction and meaning. Parsons argues that when schools align their identity, their reality, and their actions, they create cultures where teachers can thrive, students feel known, and growth becomes inevitable rather than accidental.This book is for anyone who has ever sat in a staff meeting wondering, "What are we actually doing here?" and for anyone who has looked at students like Caroline, a curious and wide-eyed second grader, and questioned the future we are preparing them for. A guide for teachers, leaders, and parents who want their work to truly matter.

Culture of Excellence
Culture of Excellence is a deeply practical leadership book for school leaders who want to build high-performing learning cultures without sacrificing trust, wellbeing, or sustainability.Drawing on decades of work with principals, leadership teams, and education systems around the world, Lee Crockett reframes excellence as something far more than improvement plans, initiatives, or performance metrics. Instead, excellence is shown to be a cultural outcome-shaped daily by leadership presence, decision-making under pressure, professional relationships, and the way learning is experienced by both staff and students.This book offers a clear and coherent pathway for leaders navigating complexity, change, and rising expectations. Crockett challenges the dominant myths that excellence is driven by overwork, compliance, or individual heroics, and replaces them with a research-informed, experience-tested framework focused on intentional leadership, shared responsibility, and sustainable practice. Through real-world school contexts, reflective prompts, and applied insights, readers are guided to examine how their leadership behaviours either strengthen or erode the culture they are trying to build.Written specifically for principals, superintendents, system leaders, and educators with leadership responsibility, Culture of Excellence bridges strategy and lived practice. It supports leaders who are tired of surface-level reform and are ready to engage in the deeper cultural work required to improve learning, strengthen professional trust, and restore meaning to leadership.This is not a book about doing more.It is a book about leading with clarity, intention, and humanity-so that excellence becomes sustainable, collective, and deeply embedded in the life of a school.

We discussed how shared values, reflective listening and living for the sake of others nurture harmonious relationships.

We also addressed the impact of popular culture on relationships and affirmed the importance of lifelong, comprehensive sexuality education.Pillar Three: Managing our Natural Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentWe considered the interconnectedness of human and natural systems, and how human activities shape ecosystems.
