Discover the keys to successful bullying prevention!
No Place for Bullying describes the paradigm shifts a school administrator needs to create in order to develop and lead a schoolwide bully prevention program. Preventing and counteracting bullying should be a top priority for every school leader, but anti-bullying efforts often fail because they do not have full support from all stakeholders, including parents.
This accessible book makes it easy to implement the three critical components of effective leadership for bullying prevention:

The WILL to address the problem
The SKILL to lead others to help reduce and prevent bullying
The FOLLOW-THROUGH to ensure that anti-bullying policies are established and sustained

Filled with activities and examples, No Place for Bullying provides the tools to inspire the cultural shift necessary to combat bullying in schools. Ensure that bullying prevention becomes an ongoing and established part of your school’s culture and climate by becoming an instrument of change!

One of the most important developments in the modern history of the Middle East, the so-called Arab Spring began in Tunisia in December 2010, and has since surpassed anything imagined. It has brought down dictators, sparked a civil war in Libya, and ignited a bloody uprising in Syria; its repercussions in Egypt and elsewhere remain unclear. Now one of the world's leading Islamic thinkers examines and explains it, in a searching, provocative, and necessary book. Click on image for more information

Kristine Barnett's son Jacob is today, at age thirteen, working on extending Einstein's theory of relativity, and is a paid researcher in quantum physics. Yet at three, after an autism diagnosis, Jacob was assigned to life-skills classes, his parents told to adjust their expectations. The goalpost was to be tying his own shoes at sixteen. The Spark is a testimony to Kristine's belief in the power of hope, and the dazzling possibilities that can occur when we keep our minds open and learn how to fuel the potential that exists in every child.
