Sommario/riassunto

This volume powerfully conveys the pilgrimage of a singular spirit through adversity, equanimity, immanence and eventually, transcendence. It grapples with a range of emotions, topics and sensations. Christopher Okigbo achieved similar results but in an entirely different manner. Okigbo's vision is epical in its dimensions while Osha's work is infused with a sustained lyricism, mutedness or even more appropriately, quietude. Osha's poetry unveils a multi-layered journey from artistic infancy to complete aesthetic maturity. Most of this journey dwells upon the poet's inner states in which vast geographical vistas are revealed.

Sommario/riassunto

This title offers practical strategies to help primary and secondary



educators coach and mentor their students to become co-teachers, decision-makers, and advocates. In this resource for educators who are attempting to meet the needs of a diverse student population in mixed-ability classrooms, the authors anchor practical examples within the current theories of learning and evidence-based research on these non-traditional student roles.
