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

The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative From Asia to Europe

The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative From Asia to Europe

This book merges macro- and micro-level analysis of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to dissect China’s aim in creating an integrated Eurasian continent through this single mega-project. BRI has been the source of much interest and confusion as established frameworks of analysis seek to understand China’s intentions behind the policy. China’s international activity in the early 21st century has not yet been successfully theorised by IR scholars because of a failure to satisfactorily encompass its complexity. In addition the mix-and-match syncretism of the Chinese approach to foreign policy has been under-emphasised or omitted in many analyses. Bringing together complexity thinking and analytic eclecticism to assess the degree to which this scheme can transform international relations Garlick critically examines this large-scale interconnectivity project and its potential impacts. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in the field of international relations and China studies including academics policy-makers and diplomats around the world. | The Impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative From Asia to Europe

Coaching for Professional Development Using literature to support success

Coaching for Professional Development Using literature to support success

Coaching has emerged as one of the most significant aids in developing managers and executives in the professional world. Yet there is a degree of dissatisfaction with performance coaching models and a desire to connect more with creativity and the imagination. In Coaching for Professional Development: Using Literature to Support Success Christine A. Eastman suggests that literary works have a part to play in bringing about a change in coaching culture. Using a series of examples from key literary texts she argues that literature can help coaches enhance their skills find solutions to workplace problems and better articulate their own ideas through innovation and imagination. Eastman argues for literature as a coaching tool detailing how using stories of loss failure alienation and human suffering in a coaching dialogue bring positive results to organisational coaching. Coaching for Professional Development considers how reading fiction helps us to imagine lives outside our own and how this sensitivity of language brings out the unconscious within us and others. Eastman discusses how she guided her students to embrace literature as a positive influence on their coaching practice through literary texts. Chapter 1 begins by exploring how reading Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener allowed her students to understand the importance of metaphor in their own coaching with Chapter 2 illuminating how Cather’s Neighbor Rosicky addresses the role of emotion. After this Eastman considers how John Cheever’s multi-layered story The Swimmer provides rich stimulus for coaching students in understanding failure how Miller’s Death of a Salesman shows how our family relationships are reflected in our office dynamics and how the reactions of her students engaging with Lampedusa’s The Leopard are more effective than the traditional coaching tool Personalisis in revealing their personality. She finally looks at Shakespeare’s The Tempest for exploring themes of power and manipulation in a coaching context. By applying coaching models to fictional scenarios Eastman demonstrates that coaches HR professionals and students can successfully extend the boundaries of their coaching strengthen their interventions and enhance their understanding of theory. Coaching for Professional Development: Using Literature to Support Success is a unique approach to coaching with engaging case studies throughout that brings together higher education and industry. It will be key reading for coaches in practice and in training who wish to enhance creativity in their work advisors and teachers on coaching courses and HR and L&D professionals working in organizations seeking to implement a coaching culture. | Coaching for Professional Development Using literature to support success

The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth

In The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth Inácio Cunha explores the motif of lower limbs by amplifying their symbolism from a wide range of source materials including an intriguing statuette from prehistoric Brazilian culture. Taking a Jungian perspective Cunha gathers and compares rich material from different historical anthropological and mythological viewpoints as well as from fetish dreams fairy tales and physical symptoms. Noticing how often the subject of legs and feet manifested in his analytical practice not only as symptoms but also as dreams and fantasies Cunha set out to deeply scrutinize our symbolic understanding of these body segments. By observing the lower limbs in the context of evolution and their occurrence in mythology he proposes a parallel between the evolution in the manner of walking in different species and the development of consciousness. Cunha also surveys dreams relating to these body parts in multiple manifestations as part of complexes fantasies and fetishes and through the description of physical marks spots and injuries. Mythological icons such as Ulysses Achilles Oedipus Jacob and others are utilized to amplify the meaning of the feet and legs as far as their psychological meaning is concerned. The book also explores the lower limbs as a sign of creativity and projection of creative power before moving to investigate a clay icon from a pre-Columbian indigenous tribe the Tapajó: an ancient statuette of a girl with her left big toe in her mouth. Cunha analyzes the relevance of this image as an archetypal pattern occurring not only in his clinical work— in clients’ dreams and physical and emotional issues related to their lower limbs—but also in other cultures’ depictions of the left toe in stories and images. The utilization of material gathered in his extensive research from multiple sources characterizes the method of amplification advocated in analytical psychology as a possibility to extract symbolic meaning of a given image. The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology: The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth is an original overview of a rarely examined part of analytical psychology and symbolism and will have great appeal to Jungian analysts analytical psychologists and psychotherapists interested in somatic psychosomatic and symbolical understanding. It will also be of interest to academics and students of Jungian studies psychotherapy mythology anthropology history and symbolism. | The Lower Limbs in Jungian Psychology The Girl with Her Big Toe in Her Mouth
