Youth and Peace in England, 1919-1969 (Palgrave Studies in the History of Childhood)
by Susannah WrightThis book offers an historical analysis of an area of young people's activity which remains significant in the present. It shows that many thousands of young people in England were involved in peace movement activity from 1919 to 1969, in connection with the League of Nations Union before the Second World War, pacifist bodies like the Peace Pledge Union in the 1930s and 1940s, the Council for Education for World Citizenship post-1945, and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament from 1957. Young people engaged with the peace movement at school, at home and in the community, encompassing classroom learning, attending lectures and meetings out of school hours, pageants, international camps and visits, correspondence, and sometimes demonstrations, marches and other direct action protests. Some were engaged briefly, for others this became a long-term focus of time, energy, and ideological commitment. Some followed parents, teachers, and friends. Others rebelled against those around them. Examining the perspectives of those involved as young people, and the adults aiming to involve young people in the peace movement, this book is an important addition to our knowledge about movements and activism (in the peace movement and more broadly), and to our knowledge about young people's agency and its limits.

Effective Multimodal Interaction for Online and Hybrid Teaching: Data-driven Insights (Digital Education and Learning)
by Antonella GiacosaThis book provides educators (including but not limited to those at university level) with data-driven insights into video-mediated interaction. Drawing on extensive research on classroom interaction from a variety of theoretical and analytical perspectives, including four years of observing online university courses that began during the Covid-19 pandemic, the author provides deep insights into video-mediated interaction by comparing direct classroom observations with data provided by teachers and students via online questionnaires. The book clarifies how the newly experienced classroom contexts differ from traditional online and blended classes, then draws on the extensive experience of video-mediated instruction in terms of teacher-learner, learner-content, and learner-learner interaction to decipher what can be challenging and promising about interacting via a screen, specifically addressing multimodal interaction. It also provides practitioners with data-driven suggestions from the perspective of teachers and learners for improving teaching and learning in modern video-based educational contexts that are consistently different from the pre-pandemic idea of e-learning. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers in Applied Linguistics, Language Education and Higher Education more broadly, teachers in higher education institutions worldwide, and teacher education and training and institutional bodies responsible for improving teaching facilities.

Handbook of Evidence-Based Practices in Autism Spectrum Disorder
by Fred R. Volkmar Peter Doehring Brian ReichowThe handbook examines the empirical status of interventions and treatments for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It offers an insightful and balanced perspective on topics ranging from the historical underpinnings of autism treatment to the use of psychopharmacology and the implementation of EBPs. The book reviews the conceptualization of evidence-based practices (EBPs) as well as considerations for implementing such practices across settings. In addition, it describes emerging treatments – though they cannot yet be considered evidence-based – that have produced limited but highly promising results. The book also describes treatments and therapies that have been proved ineffective. It explores ways in which EBPs can be applied in inclusive school settings, pedatric settings, in-patient treatment progams, and college-based programs for transition-aged youth. The volume describes outcomes from the development of EBP guidelines at the national level (in Scotland) and, more broadly, in the United States and outlines how such guidelines can be adapted to offer more individualized intervention. Key areas of coverage include: Comprehensive treatment models, including early intensive behavioral intervention, pivotal response treatment, Early Start Denver Model, and Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions. Focal treatments addressing the core deficits of ASD and its co-occuring conditions. Social skills, communication, and the use of applied behavior analysis (ABA) practices for teaching new skills and decreasing challenging behaviors. Sensory-based interventions, psychopharmacology, cognitive behavior therapy, and parent education programs (e.g., Project ImPACT). The Handbook of Evidence-Based Practices in Autism Spectrum Disorder is an invaluable resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and all professionals working in the fields of developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, pediatrics, social work, behavior analysis, allied health sciences, public health, child and adolescent psychiatry, early childhood intervention, and general and special education.

Equity in School Mentoring and Induction (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Carol A. MullenThis book provides an original mentoring/induction framework that spotlights equity in schools. In it, support-accessibility-collaboration-equity (SACE) is presented as a powerful structure for re-imagining mentoring/induction, especially for busy practitioners. Current mentoring models refer to the three pillars of support, accessibility, and collaboration (SAC). This book introduces an additional perspective, that is, the aspect of equity/justice in regard to career entry and socialization. The SACE framework extends the SAC model and fills a gap in the literature. Schools that integrate equity in mentoring/induction can anticipate the equitable support of new teachers, among other benefits. This research-informed work offers accessible theory on an important issue in the world of practice. The focus is on equity, a much-neglected area in mentoring/induction knowledge. Additionally, practical activities and case studies bring theory to life in everyday professional practice. This reader-friendly book appeals to a wide, global audience and is useful for early career teachers, mentors, teacher educators, and policymakers. It is of particular interest to those with a passion for social justice and equity in professional contexts. Practitioners seeking ways to improve their program design and delivery from an equity perspective can draw on this resource for their own purposes. University teachers and students in educational leadership and teacher education programs and mentoring/induction researchers can explore the book’s social justice ideas to enrich theory and practice.
