Ackerman, B. (2007). PRAISE - Effectively guiding student behavior. Colorado Springs, CO:
Association of Christian Schools International.
This author provides advice on basic behavior management using a Christian perspective
in a research-based approach. The book uses the acronym PRAISE as being proactive,
using reinforcements, assessing and analyzing the intent of misbehavior, being sincere,
and empowering students with the Holy Spirit in them as the keys to successful
classroom management. This book is a helpful source to encourage students to use
simulation technology in a safe and effective manner.

This article presents a study that proposes, implements, and uses a virtual reality-based
fire training simulator. The simulator provides firefighters with second-hand experiences
to aid in making quick decisions as well as safe and systematized reactions in actual fire
conditions. The safe level-based visualization mapping provided by the simulator allows
students to intuitively experience dangerous fire environments while performing training.
This article is an indispensable source for firefighter education.

increase of simulation technology in higher education starting with the increased

availability of simulation resources, devices, and systems in the virtual reality
environment. The second factor is the proven fact that simulation technologies are
effective tools for competency-based education. This article presents as a helpful source
for an overview of simulation technology.

This article scrutinizes existing literature, techniques, and expertise to construct an
evidence-base for simulation education in medical laboratory science programs. This
provides instructors with paradigms of simulation laboratory education and guidelines for
future research. This research suggests simulations foster seamless educational
experiences. This article is a helpful source for Medical Laboratory Science professional
development.

This article discusses simulation as a technique for practicing and learning when applied
to diverse disciplines. This technique is used to replace and amplify real-life experiences
with guided ones to replicate substantial characteristics of the real-world in an interactive
format. They provide health science knowledge, attitudes, and skills without putting

This article discusses simulators and models used in respiratory therapy ranging from
simple mechanical devices to complex systems using sophisticated computerization.
These devices are very helpful in clinician education to improve understanding of the
cardiorespiratory system. Improved clinician performance in simulated situations
transfer to improved performance in real-life situations. This article is a helpful source
for Respiratory professional development.

Kingdom living-the way God envisioned must saturate every part of ones life and career.
This requires maintaining a vivacious, growing relationship with God reflecting and
modeling Christlikeness for the students and their parents as wells others in the school
community. This book provides valuable discernment and everyday tips on maximizing
ones influence for God everywhere.
