How confident are you for your retirement? If you’re like the majority of Americans, you are likely trying to navigate the unsettled waters of our nation’s retirement and economic climate. Most people aren’t aware of what is really driving their retirement savings and have little or no control over where their future is invested. Taxes, education and healthcare costs continue to rise and the volatility of the stock market adds an additional layer of uncertainty. This book is devoted to explaining the underutilized concept of investing self-directed IRAs into alternative assets. Self-directed IRAs allow you to have direct control over your retirement by investing into more than traditional investment options such as stocks and mutual funds, and instead investing in areas where you have knowledge, expertise and comfort. Eleven different investment options such as real estate, precious metals, notes, private equity, tax liens and beyond are covered in this innovative book. You will learn the important rules and regulations you need to know, financing options, due diligence and risk assessment and real life examples of investors who have decided to take control of their financial future and self-direct their way to lasting wealth. We’ll also share over 30 case studies of real client investments and will shine a light on the unheralded impact self-directed IRA investors have made on their communities, small businesses, the housing recovery and of course, their own financial future. As an added bonus there are over 40 educational videos, reports, calculators and other resources that coincide with the book! Self-Directed IRAs: Building Retirement Wealth Through Alternative Investing showcases diversification strategies that will change the way you think about retirement investing and could change the course of your retirement forever.

"It's not surprising that schools have the power to either help or hinder students in becoming more self-directed. This book will show you how to teach, plan, and speak in ways that nurture kids to become even more self-directed during writing workshop, as well as pave the way for them to become self-directed adults." -Leah Mermelstein "I'm done. What should I do now?" If you hear this question all too often during the independent work portion of writing workshop, Leah Mermelstein has a solution for making this time more productive for both students and teachers. Along with making time for writing workshop every day, and planning long-term for it, Leah argues that the "third essential element," creating self-directed writers, is key to the success of writing workshops. Using a wealth of classroom anecdotes, student samples and specific teaching language, Leah illustrates how even the youngest students can become self-directed learners. Her explicit strategies include: creating an appropriate physical environment along with daily rituals and routines scaffolding instruction with Write Alouds and Interactive Writing planning units, focus lessons, conferences, and shares that are aimed at helping kids become self-directed. Leah details 10 qualities that teachers can nurture in students to help them meet and exceed the Common Core State Standards in a high quality writing workshop. Give Leah's practical strategies and tips a try, and transform your writing workshop from a chorus of "what next?" to the quiet hum of deeply engaged kids. Download a sample chapter here.

Achieve your life goals with SELF-DIRECTED BEHAVIOR!

More than just a self-help book, this Sixth Edition of Watson and Tharp's highly successful text continues to provide readers with step-by-step instructions for carrying out a program of self-modification. As readers experience behavior modification in the laboratory of their own lives, they learn sound scientific principles and coping skills for personal problem solving that will be with them for the rest of their lives. Although the authors deal with specific topic areas such as improving study habits, managing stress, or overcoming depression, the book does not narrowly focus on overcoming specific problems. Instead, it emphasizes behavior modification principles students can apply again and again...Watson and Tharp guide students through exercises for developing skills in self-analysis and provide them with concrete information on how to achieve personal goals. Case reports of their own students' self-change projects and others solicited from users of previous editions provide models for success. In addition, the authors include data from empirical field testing of the text indicating that students in courses using this book have achieved self-change goals at percentages varying from 66% to 84% (e.g., Clements & Beidleman, 1981; Hamilton, 1980; Rakos & Grodek, 1984).

This effective self-help book presents a workable set of skills that readers can use for tackling their own self-modification programs, whether it be to improve self-confidence in dating, control overeating, implement and exercise program, or give up smoking. The authors' goal is to teach the basic skills necessary for readers to modify the behavior of their own choice, (66%-84% of the students employing these methods have achieved their self-change goals according to published studies in the literature). Once students have applied the principles to a behavior, they'll find it easier to use the skills in different settings.

For nearly two decades, Professors Michael K. Ponton and Paul B. Carr have formulated discussions of self-directed and autonomous learning by building upon the conceptual frameworks provided by Professors Emeriti Gary Confessore (learner autonomy and conation) and Albert Bandura (social cognitive theory, human agency, and self-efficacy). Using an agentic perspective of personal agency to describe learning, the agent as a learner engages in forethought to adopt goals of personal value and formulate learning plans; reacts to this ideation by enacting plans; reflects upon consequences and outcomes; and uses this acquired information to inform future learning plans. Their work and that with their colleagues has included both theoretical discussions and original research. This edited compendium, primarily consisting of previously published articles, is the result of those efforts.

In 1972, an intrepid group of teachers and students at New Trier High School (Winnetka, IL) formed the Center for Self-Directed Learning. Each student would design their own program instead of following the daily grind of standardized courses with off-the-shelf textbooks, canned lectures, and, of course, the all-important final exam. Approximately 600 students took the plunge into the unknown during the Center’s 10 years. Now, more than 35 Center graduates look back on their experience, each of them writing about why they left the standard curriculum and joined the Center, what they did in the Center, and how the Center has affected their adult lives. Among the graduates who contributed memoirs are Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen. “The stories renew our faith in the human drive for self-fulfillment.” Arthur L. Costa Past president of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD)

Having a baby, just like that? Without hospital, midwife or instructions to push? Babies are sometimes born before the midwife can get there and when that happens, everyone involved is usually happy everything went well despite the lack of professionals. But how does it work for women who consciously decide to have a so-called 'freebirth' and decline antenatal care as well as conventional monitoring by birth professionals? Sarah Schmid explains how to make self-directed birth a joyous experience. She also answers important questions around taking responsibility for your own pregnancy and birth, such as: · How can I improve my health during pregnancy? · How can I determine the baby's position myself and optimise it? · Is it possible to know if my baby is well without listening to the heartbeat? · What can I do if my labour does not progress? · What do I do if the cord is around the baby's neck? · What should I do if there is meconium in the amniotic fluid? · Freebirth after caesarean birth or with a breech baby - is it possible? · Can I give birth by myself even if the pregnancy ends too soon? In 'Freebirth' Sarah Schmid provides a healthy dose of basic medical knowledge and dispels scary myths about birth. This also makes 'Freebirth' valuable for those women planning to birth their babies in a conventional setting, as well as for birth professionals. Also in this book: Numerous illustrations · personal stories by over 30 mothers about planned and unplanned freebirths, including photos · helpful tips for the early days with a newborn * 'Trust your feelings and ask 1000 questions when it comes to the birth of your baby.
