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’ 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

Grouplised Schools in China Teacher Agency under Neoliberal Influences

Grouplised Schools in China Teacher Agency under Neoliberal Influences

This book presents how neoliberal trends as reflected in the grouplised school structure affect teachers’ professional learning and daily practice and discusses how teacher agency is enabled and constrained at both individual and collective levels. The author interviewed teachers and administrators from eight different grouplised schools. He argues that the neoliberal trends in high-stakes accountability largely constrained teacher agency. School grouplisation was generally top-down and a bottom-up structure is needed to support teachers' professional growth. Collective agency and administrator support could protect students against the neoliberal trends in education by enabling teachers to make conscious moral decisions and take actions in their daily practice. He further identifies principles of invoking collective agency among teachers and proposes suggestions for educational reform implementation in neoliberal contexts. Policymakers school administrators and teachers interested in grouplised schools and collective agency may find this book insightful. | Grouplised Schools in China Teacher Agency under Neoliberal Influences

Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Interdisciplinary Developmental Perspectives on Children and Youth

Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Interdisciplinary Developmental Perspectives on Children and Youth

The Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders explores the factors necessary for successful implementation of interventions that foster productive relationships and ecologies to establish reinforce and sustain adaptive patterns of emotional and behavioral functioning across childhood and into adulthood. Although there has been a concerted focus on developing evidence-based programs and practices to support the needs of children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders there has been less emphasis on the developmental social and environmental factors that impact the implementation and effectiveness of these approaches. Chapters from leading experts tackle this complexity by drawing on a range of disciplines and perspectives including special education; mental health services; school clinical and community psychology; social work; developmental psychology and psychopathology; and prevention science. An essential resource for scholars and students interested in emotional and behavioral disorders this volume crafts an essential framework to promote developmentally meaningful strategies for children and youth with even the most adverse experiences and intensive support needs. | Handbook of Research on Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Interdisciplinary Developmental Perspectives on Children and Youth

Physical Violence in American Families

Physical Violence in American Families

The informative and controversial findings in this book are based on two path-breaking national surveys of American families. Both show that while the family may be the central locus of love and support it is also the locus of risk for those who are physically assaulted. The book provides a wealth of information on gender differences and similarities in violence and on the effects of gender roles and inequality. Two landmark American studies of violence from the National Family Violence survey form the basis of this book. Both show that while the family may be the central locus of love and support it is also the locus of risk for those who are being physically assaulted. This is particularly true for women and children who are statistically more at risk of assault in their own homes than on the streets of any American city. Physical Violence in American Families provides a wealth of information on gender differences and similarities in violence and on the effects of gender roles and inequality. It is essential for anyone doing empirical research or clinical assessment.

Civil Society and International Students in Japan The Making of Social Capital

Civil Society and International Students in Japan The Making of Social Capital

This book explores encounters and interactions between international students and local civil society organizations (CSOs) in Japan. Based on the results of a cross-case analysis this study reveals the possibilities for international students in Japan of creating social capital in the short term in culturally and socially diverse groups. While a conventional approach sees universities as the main support providers this research shows the role of local CSOs as alternative actors offering international student support. Unlike the long-standing paradigm viewing Japanese civil society as top-down and closely following the government this book uncovers many decentralized and bottom-up organizational types. Furthermore it highlights an active part taken by foreign staff and volunteers in Japanese CSOs which challenges the guest–host dichotomy of the previous literature. Presenting a reconsidered insight into the role of international students and their interaction with CSOs in community building this book will appeal to students and scholars of Asian studies and migration studies as well as organizers of CSOs and faculty of international higher education institutions. | Civil Society and International Students in Japan The Making of Social Capital
