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 Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

This book argues that China’s Belt and Road Initiative should be seen more as a geopolitical project and less as a global economic project with China aiming to bring about a new Chinese-led international order. It contends that China’s international approach has two personas – an aggressive one focusing on a nineteenth century-style territorial empire which is applied to Taiwan and the seas adjacent to China; and a new-style persona based on relationship building with the political elites of countries in the Global South relying on large scale infrastructure projects to help secure the elites in power a process often leading to lower democratic participation and weaker governance structures. It also shows how this relationship building with elites leads to an acceptance of Chinese norms and to changes in states’ geopolitical preferences and foreign policies to align them with China’s geopolitical interests with states thereby joining China’s emerging international order. Overall the book emphasizes that this new-style non-territorial “empire” building based on relationships is a major new development in international relations not fully recognized and accounted for by international relations experts and theorists. | The Geopolitics of China's Belt and Road Initiative

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.

The Politics of Time in China and Japan Back to the Future

Drawing on a wide range of texts and using an interdisciplinary approach this volume shows how Chinese and Japanese intellectuals mobilized the past to create a better future.

This volume explores a broad range of subjects such as premodern and early modern attempts to conjure a politics of Confucianism twentieth-century Japanese Marxist interpretations of Buddhism and Japanese and Chinese endeavors to imagine a new world order. In sum this book shows us why understanding East Asian pasts are essential to making sense of ideological trends in contemporary China and Japan.

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

More than Bouncing Back Examining Community Resilience Theory and Practice

More than Bouncing Back Examining Community Resilience Theory and Practice

As the concept of community resilience moves from the margins of practice and theoretical research to more mainstream scholarship critical issues of conceptualization and use emerge. This is particularly true at the intersection of community development practice and community resilience theory. This book teases out limitations with current conceptualizations of community resilience offers enhanced and alternative conceptualizations and presents compelling case studies of new conceptualizations in action. This book is a starting place for scholarly conversations about the role of community resilience in community development practice. The frameworks presented here will continue to gain more support in academic and non-academic arenas as resilience rhetoric increases in popularity. However it is crucial for community practitioners to use these frameworks to actively cultivate resilience in their communities by building adaptive capacity in systematic ways. To move the field of community resilience forward it is critical to understand the nuances of context and conditions in communities and how broader conceptualizations of resilience account for and utilize context to build adaptive capacity. This book was originally published as a special issue in the journal Community Development. | More than Bouncing Back Examining Community Resilience Theory and Practice

The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations

The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations

This title was first published in 2002: This field guide assesses two views of human error - the old view in which human error becomes the cause of an incident or accident or the new view in which human error is merely a symptom of deeper trouble within the system. The two parts of this guide concentrate on each view leading towards an appreciation of the new view in which human error is the starting point of an investigation rather than its conclusion. The second part of this guide focuses on the circumstances which unfold around people which causes their assessments and actions to change accordingly. It shows how to reverse engineer human error which like any other componant needs to be put back together in a mishap investigation. | The Field Guide to Human Error Investigations
