Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Of the many issues facing special education (and general education) today it is difficult to imagine one more important or timely than response to intervention (RTI). Almost overnight RTI has become standard practice across the nation. Unfortunately RTI remains ill-defined falls far short of its evidence-based practice goal is almost invariably misused and often results in more harm than good. Nevertheless as a conceptual framework RTI has great potential for ensuring that students with disabilities receive appropriate evidence-based instruction. The mission of this handbook is to present a comprehensive and integrated discussion of response to intervention (RTI) and its relation to multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) in both special education and general education. Although the two terms are currently used interchangeably distinct differences exist between them. Therefore chapters are dedicated to distinguishing the two concepts—RTI and MTSS—and describing each one’s unique role in both general and special education. In addition the authors recommend a third term Multi-Tiered Instruction to differentiate the practices related to the purpose of the specific intervention. | Handbook of Response to Intervention and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

Inside the Black Box of ‘White Backlash’ researches the contents of the letters of support sent to British politician Enoch Powell in the wake of his so-called ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech of April 20 1968. Never has a politician received so much written support in so short a time. This book takes a thematic approach to investigate the way British whites used Powell’s speech to vent their frustrations anger hostility against (non-white) immigrants and the evolution of British society in the late 1960s. Each chapter unpacks one facet of a 10 000-letter sample out of the approximately 100 000 letters Powell received: Race State War Empire America Class Gender Elites Parties ‘Against’ - with this last chapter analysing letters of protest against Powell. This extraordinary archival material provides an altogether unique window into British society in the late 1960s and reads like a (white) anthropology of nativist Britons in times of swift change. The book will be of interest to both students and academics of race immigration and ethnicity as well as by the general public.

Offender Care and Support by Families in Contemporary Japan The Nexus of Gender Shame and Ambivalence

Offender Care and Support by Families in Contemporary Japan The Nexus of Gender Shame and Ambivalence

Because people’s contact with the criminal justice system comes in different shapes and forms scholars are now broadening their analytical scope and examining the overall repercussions of criminal justice contact on families of offenders. Compared to Western societies Japan is known for its lower crime rates and more pronounced use of informal social control. Thus it offers a useful research site for examining how families in a low-crime society experience criminal justice contact and how they function as an integral part of the nation’s crime control mechanism. This book considers the role of the family in the lives of offenders and the criminal justice system in Japan. Looking particularly at gender and patriarchal power relations it reveals how cultural notions of femininity prompt the criminal justice system to rely on women as its proxy. This book explores how families of offenders often step in to fill the voids left by criminal justice institutions and social services to provide offenders with all-inclusive care. The burden of supervising and rehabilitating offenders on top of the expectation to atone for the crimes also renders families ambivalent and ashamed. Whereas the state and criminal justice authorities tend to see offenders’ families as a crucial resource for prisoner reentry this book highlights the necessity for addressing families’ needs before automatically assuming their support. It also pushes the boundaries of feminist criminology by showing how women can be affected by male criminality and male-dominated criminal justice institutions other than as victims and offenders. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology gender studies Japanese culture and all those interested in learning more about the criminal justice system in Japan. | Offender Care and Support by Families in Contemporary Japan The Nexus of Gender Shame and Ambivalence

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics instructors are always looking for ways to engage students in meaningful and authentic tasks that utilize mathematics. At the same time it is crucial for a democratic society to have a citizenry who can critically discriminate between “fake” and reliable news reports involving numeracy and apply numerical literacy to local and global issues. This book contains examples of topics linking math and social justice and addresses both goals. There is a broad range of mathematics used including statistical methods modeling calculus and basic algebra. The range of social issues is also diverse including racial injustice mass incarceration income inequality and environmental justice. There are lesson plans appropriate in many contexts: service-learning courses quantitative literacy/reasoning courses introductory courses and classes for math majors. What makes this book unique and timely is that the most previous curricula linking math and social justice have been treated from a humanist perspective. This book is written by mathematicians for mathematics students. Admittedly it can be intimidating for instructors trained in quantitative methods to venture into the arena of social dilemmas. This volume provides encouragement support and a treasure trove of ideas to get you started. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal PRIMUS: Problems Resources and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies. | Mathematics for Social Justice

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning (1981) examines the ability of books and broadcasts to change lives. The combination of print radio television and group meetings – distance teaching – can transform education in developing countries. Effective distance teaching requires effective teaching materials and up to now there has been a lack of guidance about how to produce such materials and how to do so for different cultures. Materials for Learning aims to supply this need by suggesting guidelines for action and where evidence is mixed or lacking defining questions that still require answers. It is a practical book aimed at people actively involved in nonformal education and will be particularly useful for the developing world educators.

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book explores the effectiveness of governance networks on the design and implementation of sustainability strategies. European cities are actively developing sustainability strategies to address the impact of climate change. One recent approach many cities have taken is the creation of ‘governance networks’: groups of public private and third sector organisations which collaborate to support urban sustainability efforts. Drawing on two case studies in Glasgow and Copenhagen this book explores the concept of governance networks in theory and practice revealing how stakeholder collaboration leadership and innovation within these networks can help or hinder the process. It also highlights the many benefits of these networks including increased participation in the decision-making process increased levels of resources and expertise on sustainability issues as well as stakeholder buy-in for sustainability policies. This book provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of governance networks and will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in the areas of urban governance and sustainability. | Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Methodological Approaches for Workplace Research and Management

Methodological Approaches for Workplace Research and Management

This book explores a wide range of methodological approaches to examining various forms of workplace physical environments. It focuses on pressing questions regarding the relationship between the spatial component of the workplace including its progressive hybridisation with other physical and virtual places and its users be they public organisations private companies or start-up businesses and solopreneurs. International contributors address a range of methods that are applicable both in research and practice to confront the most cutting-edge workplace-related issues. The assumption is that work has been changing thanks to the virtualisation of many activities and that homeworking and hybrid working modes are expected to increase significantly after Covid-19. Thus spaces hosting work need to adapt accordingly. Researchers and practitioners have been struggling to determine how much space will be needed by companies what kind of space will better host different work activities which workers are more suited for working from home and which instead are more productive if they have an office-based working arrangement. The necessary evolution of the office should follow evidence-based decisions on the abovementioned matters which are only possible through rigorous investigations. This volume aims to support these investigations which call for inventive applications of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. By doing so the book will encourage solid practices and thorough research agendas in workplace design management and use. Contributions come from different disciplines including facilities management real estate management psychology design architecture sociology and organisation studies. Chapters highlight the importance of appropriate methodologies borrowed from different fields in addressing contemporary questions and developments in workplaces. By analysing the challenges and opportunities for conducting rigorous research in different workplace settings this book will be critical reading for both academics and students as well as for decision-makers and professionals who deal with workplace design and management.

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.
