Week # 5 Find 5 Friday

1- I would like to add my voice to Christina's to thank "Lost History: Mathematics in the Muslim World". In addition to his writing, I am going to recommend a book  about the many important and far-reaching contributions to the development of our shared scientific knowledge and technologies have created by Muslims, "1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World", ISBN 978-0-9552426-1-8. Also, "1001 Inventions and The Library of Secretes" is a very interesting short movie to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZDe9DCx7Wk.

2-  The "Journal of Effective Teaching" is an online journal devoted to teaching excellence. One of its articles was about the four aces of  effective teaching: outcomes, clarity, Engagement, and Enthusiasm. Please read more at http://uncw.edu/cte/et/articles/bulger/

3- As a member of ACTFL, I get their weekly newsletters. Some interesting research I did for this week says that OECD offers four recommendations for teacher professionalism. Please see the following. https://thejournal.com/articles/2016/02/16/oecd-teacher-professionalism-needs-improvement-worldwide.aspx   

4- "The Effect of the Love and Logic Program on Student Motivation" is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the  Master of Science in Education degree by Courtney V. Coffin. It is a great piece of work to read.
