Classroom Behavior Management for General and Special Educators: Holistic and Inclusive Approaches

Addressing the interconnected crises of falling academic standards, rising teacher turnover, and growing student behavioral and emotional challenges, the book presents a comprehensive, actionable strategy for accurately identifying classroom deficiencies and effectively responding to them in a student-centered way. Applicable to both special education and general educational contexts, Classroom Behavior Management for General and Special Educators is key reading for pre-service teachers in classroom and behavior management courses, as well as in-service teachers, teacher educators, and school administrators seeking new ways to address student behavior.

Her book provides the most helpful information I have seen for regular classroom teachers who are concerned with the realities and the nitty-gritties of helping LD children. My only regret is that the book has not been available for the last 20 years." DR. BARBARA BATEMAN University of Oregon "Stevens' book should be on the desk of every elementary and middle school teacher in every English-speaking country of the world. Stevens must have been an excellent classroom teacher, for she obviously understands both good elementary education and the learning-disabled child. Her book will go far to assist learning-disabled children toward a greater realization of their potentials." WILLIAM M. CRUICKSHANK, Ph.D. University of Michigan Between ten and twelve percent of the children in the U.S. are learning disabled. With such a large proportion of the population affected, the problem is not simply the concern of parents, LD individuals, and their teachers. It is the concern of society as a whole. In Classroom Success for the Learning Disabled, Suzanne Stevens discusses ways that we can help these children succeed in school and grow into productive adults. She offers practical suggestions on: Recognizing the LD child Adjusting teaching techniques Adapting texts and other materials Using LD specialists and psychologists effectively Adjusting classroom management procedures Testing and grading fairly Mainstreaming the LD child Stevens, a learning disabilities expert and a former classroom teacher, is the author of The Learning-Disabled Child: Ways That Parents Can Help.

Classroom Tales: Using Storytelling to Build Emotional, Social and Academic Skills across the Primary Curriculum
by Jennifer EadesStories and storytelling help children to develop emotional literacy, make sense of their world and appreciate different points of view. Fox Eades shows how storytelling is a crucial element of children's education that can enrich the school curriculum and encourage social and thinking skills. The author discusses the different kinds of story that are useful in the classroom context, including traditional stories, fairy tales and sacred stories, and explores the impact of individual and group dynamics on the telling and reception of these stories. She also considers recognised therapeutic uses of storytelling. She provides a series of sample stories and gives practical tips on adapting these to suit different situations and meet different needs. She also advises on a range of techniques such as using props, allowing `reflection' time and prompting interaction. Sections on collective stories and the child as storyteller explain how children can be inspired to compose their own tales that offer opportunities to practise self-expression and negotiation. This practical and engaging book provides all the tools and techniques needed to use storytelling effectively, and will be an essential resource for primary school teachers and others working with children in educational contexts, social workers and parents.

Close Calls: Voices of Love and Fear
by Elisa BuschClose Calls: Voices of Love and Fear is a creative nonfiction memoir spanning the life of a blind woman from childhood to middle age. <P><P> Lisa, the main character, undergoes a shock when separated from her family at age five. Totally blind since her birth in 1954, well before mainstreaming in classrooms is accepted, only a special school in Pittsburgh, a hundred miles away from her rural hometown, is suitable for her education. This separation, along with her shyness at school and her mother's preoccupation with housework when Lisa is at home, creates in Lisa a feeling of sadness that comes to permeate her life. At age seven, her grandfather dies on Good Friday. When he isn't resurrected on Easter as she innocently expects, Lisa's disillusionment with God sets her on a course of mistrust that intensifies years later after a failed love affair. By the time she meets Jerry, who showers her with the attention she has always craved, Lisa cannot feel secure. <P><P> The book describes their marriage, Jerry's struggle with diabetes, the joys and challenges of being a wife and mother, and Lisa's spiritual highs and lows. Throughout the narrative, Lisa keeps asking the question: If God loves me, why does He allow me to suffer such loneliness and loss? This inquiry haunts many a heart and mind, but Close Calls delves into its depth in surprising ways. The author dares to imagine voices of those who travel with her on this journey as well as the voice of an unseen narrator. <P><P> This approach to the narrative seeks to widen the readers' perspectives as well.

Cochlear Implants: Evolving Perspectives
by Raylene Paludneviciene Irene W. LeighThe cochlear implant debate has changed, as evidenced in this cogent collection that presents 13 chapters by 20 experts, including several who communicate through sign language but also utilize cochlear implants. The impetus for this change stems from recognition that both visual and aural input can enhance the education of deaf children. Divided into four sections, Cochlear Implants: Evolving Perspectives first focuses on the impact of implants in the Deaf community. Chapters in this section examine the issues driving the cochlear implant debate, the ethics of genetic engineering, experiences of implanted adult deaf signers, reflections of deaf mothers who have had their children implanted, and the effects of implants on deaf identity. The second section delves into the mechanics of bimodal processing, including listening strategies that can benefit signing children with cochlear implants. The third section surveys combined aural/visual educational approaches, such as teaching implanted children in an ASL/English bilingual classroom, and applying auditory rehabilitation to a signed communication context. The final section challenges readers to reframe the debate first by exploring sensory politics, then by envisioning an emerging world that requires the Deaf community to connect with it to secure its future. With this information, readers will reach their own conclusions about cochlear implants and auditory and visual approaches to the mastery of both spoken and signed languages.

Cognitive Disability Aesthetics: Visual Culture, Disability Representations, and the (In)Visibility of Cognitive Difference (Toronto Iberic)
by Benjamin FraserCognitive Disability Aesthetics explores the invisibility of cognitive disability in theoretical, historical, social, and cultural contexts. Benjamin Fraser’s cutting edge research and analysis signals a second-wave in disability studies that prioritizes cognition. Fraser expands upon previous research into physical disability representations and focuses on those disabilities that tend to be least visible in society (autism, Down syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia). Moving beyond established literary approaches analyzing prose representations of disability, the book explores how iconic and indexical modes of signification operate in visual texts. Taking on cognitive disability representations in a range of visual media (painting, cinema, and graphic novels), Fraser showcases the value of returning to impairment discourse. Cognitive Disability Aesthetics successfully reconfigures disability studies in the humanities and exposes the chasm that exists between Anglophone disability studies and disability studies in the Hispanic world.
