The Hike

Beschreibung

Ashley James and Tucker Lee have been friends for years. They are city boys but long for life on the open trail. During a three-hundred-mile hike from the Southern California desert to the mountains around Big Bear Lake, they make some pretty amazing discoveries. One of those discoveries is love. A love that has been bubbling below the surface for a very long time. But love isn't all they find. They also stumble upon a war-a war being waged by Mother Nature and fought tooth and claw around an epidemic of microbes and fury. With every creature in sight turning against them, can they survive this battle and still hold on to each other? Or will the most horrifying virus known to man lay waste to more than just wildlife this time? Will it destroy Ash and Tucker too?

Autor

Dr. Inman has been blessed with both gifted and deficit exceptionalities. He grew up believing he was broken and in need of fixing, a frame of mind that has haunted him his whole life. He did not realize he had gifts until conducting research for his doctorate in education. Rather than just experience the impact of being 2e, Dr. Inman decided to do something about the experience other children have growing up feeling broken and in need of fixing. This work is the outcome of that mission. With a deep understanding of how humans organize into communities, how humans communicate through dialogue to create meaningful and lasting change, and how humans of all ages learn, grow and contribute to the world, he helps educators of all types come together to craft their unique paths forward to transform how children and adults learn. Dr. Inman grew up unable to read the way his school system taught, methods unchanged in 55 years, and understands how so many children wither in the predominant education systems. His work is founded on the concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and any strategy that helps move a school system toward teaching the way children learn vs. forcing children to learn how the teacher teaches is of interest. Dr. Inman embraces learning strategies that include traditional Indigenous learning, andragogy, flipped classrooms, cognitive processes design, green inspired classrooms (SEED), multiple pathways, systems thinking, cluster-grouped classrooms, technology-assisted learning, situated learning, and scenario-based learning. He helps education communities design their transformation approach based on these and any number of other strategies. Dr. Inman earned his doctorate in educational leadership for change from Fielding Graduate University in 2015 and currently is the founding faculty for the applied management bachelors' program at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma Washington.
