"The man does not live who is more devoted to peace than I am. None who would do more to preserve it. But it may be necessary to put the foot down firmly. And if I do my duty, and do right, you will sustain me, will you not?" Abraham Lincoln, 21 February, 1861, in his address to the New Jersey General Assembly.
Whilst Election Day this November is an 'off-year' event with few special elections across the USA, it is a timely reminder of how important it is to choose ones leaders carefully and of course marks a milestone as we move towards the pivotal election in 2012. November is an important month celebrating Thanksgiving, World Peace Day, Native American Heritage Month and Latin American Month, so it provides an opportunity to reflect on how great nations were established and built.
The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Are parents and educators getting it right? The Amazing People Club has announced the development of its educational resources for teachers and students alike. This is delivered via a new and unique BioView® story-telling method, which is a combination of biography and virtual interview. It not only educates but also engages in a very entertaining manner. One of the key aspects of the BioViews® is its emphasis on the importance of role models. The resources have been trialled and tested by educators and students worldwide and received the following endorsement from Dave Jones, awarded the Pearson Head Teacher of the North Award 2008:- "In an age when immediate fame and celebrity are cynically dangled to fuel the hopes and visions of children and young people, the Amazing People Club's resources are a refreshing reminder of the power of role models to inspire the young. These materials represent an invaluable resource for schools. Written in the unique and engaging first person style of the BioView, pupils are invited to explore the exploits, achievements and motivations of remarkable individuals who have informed our thinking and shaped our world. They will be an invaluable stimulus to create dialogue and debate in citizenship work in schools."
The Amazing People Club is an international digital publishing company distributed by Hachette Book Group. Founded by Dr. Charles Margerison, the Company produces educational and inspirational eBooks and Audios about iconic individuals who have made major contributions to our world.
