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' Letters of Support to Enoch Powell (1968-1969)

Inside the Black Box of 'White Backlash' Letters of Support to Enoch Powell (1968-1969)

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.

Development of an Environmental Impact Assessment and Decision Support System for Seawater Desalination Plants

Development of an Environmental Impact Assessment and Decision Support System for Seawater Desalination Plants

Seawater desalination is a coastal-based industry. The growing number of desalination plants worldwide and the increasing size of single facilities emphasises the need for greener desalination technologies and more sustainable desalination projects. Two complementing approaches are the development and implementation of best available technology (BAT) standards and best practice guidelines for environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies. While BAT is a technology-based approach which favours state of the art technologies that reduce resource consumption and waste emissions EIA aims at minimizing impacts at a site- and project-specific level through environmental monitoring evaluation of impacts and mitigation where necessary. This book contains a comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of the potential environmental impacts of desalination plants with emphasis on the marine environment and aspects of energy use followed by the development of strategies for impact mitigating. A concept for BAT for seawater desalination technologies is proposed in combination with a methodological approach for the EIA of desalination projects. The scope of the EIA studies are outlined including environmental monitoring toxicity and hydrodynamic modelling studies and the usefulness of multi-criteria analysis as a decision support tool for EIAs is explored and used to compare different intake and pre-treatment options for seawater reverse osmosis plants. | Development of an Environmental Impact Assessment and Decision Support System for Seawater Desalination Plants

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
