The District
"Deliciously subversive and packed with suspense, The District is a chillingly accurate portrayal of our broken education system, and a call to dismantle unchecked institutional power."—Tyler B. Perry, author of Plausible Wrong Answers"Refreshingly original with a cast of characters who are as endearing as they are empowering."—Dana Goldstein, author of Katya Noskov's Last Shot
City Hall
"There's plot twisting, nail biting suspense held in these pages, where Ada and Pilar may become the unlikely heroines of the whole city.
- Micheline Maylor, Post Laureate, City of Calgary"Lisa Bush's imagined Calgary Feels at one familiar and fantastical—the perfect setting for a mystery in which nothing is exactly as it seems."
- Sam Hester, Calgary Comics Artist
Teaching Well
How can teachers balance the needs of busy classrooms with the needs of their own health and well-being? This remarkable book illustrates that embracing a healthy lifestyle is not only beneficial for teachers, but for students, classrooms, and schools, too. It suggests that teachers can reduce the work they do outside the classroom and still be a motivated and engaged teacher. Promoting a healthy work―life balance, the book explores how to avoid burnout while still creating an effective learning community. The conversational tone and a wealth of anecdotes will make this an invaluable guide for every educator.
