Strengthening Social Connections and Individual Resilience in Adolescence: The Belong and Be You Curriculum
by Peter Mortola Diane GansThis book introduces a group counseling curriculum that provides both a foundation to confidently lead a counseling group for adolescents and inspiration for how a group leader can adapt and modify the text in a range of settings. The curriculum is three-fold, corresponding with the three major sections of the text. In Part One of the text, the authors provide a conceptual and practical way of understanding two matters: first, the critical leadership challenges faced by group counselors as well as the skills they need to navigate those challenges successfully, and second, the critical developmental challenges faced by adolescents and the skills they need to navigate those challenges successfully. Part Two introduces a nine-week social skills curriculum – Belong and Be You – designed and modified over ten years of use to help adolescents be better socially connected as well as confidently independent. Part Three provides an additional resource which is meant to be used in tandem with the curriculum: 40 strategic stories on four different themes contributed by faculty and students. This book will benefit school counselors and group counselors working with adolescents to successfully navigate group leadership and help students embrace themselves and find belonging.
Strengthening Teacher Self-Efficacy for Differentiated Instruction: A Framework for Inclusive Pedagogy (SpringerBriefs in Education)

Additionally, it highlights the importance of support from school leadership and colleagues in implementing differentiation successfully. Featuring extracts from participant interviews to immerse readers in the empirical data, it provides insights into the challenges and opportunities inherent in differentiated instruction. With its focus on developing practical strategies and frameworks for differentiation, the book holds significance for educators worldwide grappling with student diversity.
Strengthening the Connections between Leadership and Learning: Challenges to Policy, School and Classroom Practice
by John MacBeath Neil Dempster David Frost Greer Johnson Sue SwaffieldExamining a decade of research and practice, this book makes the case for a radical reappraisal of leadership, learning, and their interrelationship in educational policy. Discussing whether policy direction is progressively constraining the professionalism and initiative of teachers and school leaders, it challenges conventional understanding and argues the case for thinking differently about the way to lead learning. Based on the Leadership for Learning (LfL) Project, the book clarifies, extends, and refines LfL principles and practices, and their contribution to ameliorating some of the difficult conditions encountered in the contemporary educational policy environment. It starts by discussing the direction and influence of current education policy and its subsequent consequences; chapters then move on to explore the framing values informing the LfL Projects, particularly focusing on what they imply for commitments to social justice, children’s rights and breadth in student learning, and considering how to create favourable conditions for learning. Identifying a disconnect between seminal principles and the nature of day-to-day practice, Strengthening the Connections between Leadership and Learning challenges school policy and practice at national and local levels. It is an essential read for postgraduate students, especially those studying leadership in education, as well as for teachers and policymakers in schools.
Strengthening the Education Sector Response to HIV and AIDS in the Caribbean
by World BankThe Caribbean Region is second only to Africa in the impact of HIV and AIDS. The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has responded to this challenge by promoting a multisectoral response to the epidemic. UNESCO has provided regional leadership in strengthening the education sector component of this response. In 2005, UNESCO launched, with CARICOM and the World Bank, a regioinal dialogue involving representatives of Ministries of Education, national HIV and AIDS coordinating councils, development partners, and regional institutions providing leadership in the HIV response, which led to the development and endorsement of a regional Proposal for Action: Accelerating the Education Sector Response to HIV and AIDS in the Caribbean Region. In June 2006, Ministers of Education and representatives of National AIDS AUthorities met in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, under the auspices of the CARICOM Council on Human and Social Development, and agreed to promote education sector leadership in addressing HIV and AIDS and to create a supportive policy and financial environment at national and regional levels. This report describes the development of these regional processes and how they have led to a stronger education sector response at the regional level. It also focuses on developments in three countries (Guyana, Jamaica, and St. Lucia) as examples of how this regional effort translates into action at the national level.

When leaders are able to strengthen the heartbeat, their schools become stronger and more resilient.? These qualities help leaders to share the burdens of leadership with others, to create collaborative cultures, and to be continuous learners.? Leadership inevitably involves change and change inevitably involves learning.? Using this book, school leaders will have the tools they need to make their schools the best they can be.

The Strengths Approach in Practice: How It Changes Lives
by Avril Bellinger Deirdre FordIn the global emergencies our world faces, the strengths approach is needed now more than ever. Commonly misunderstood, its true power as a whole systems approach to release the potential of individuals, communities and their environments has been neglected. For those brave enough to embrace it, this book offers theoretical and practical encouragement. The authors use a case study of their work with a unique non-governmental organisation in the United Kingdom that combines student placements with support for refugees. They illustrate what it really means to adopt a strengths approach in practice. Chapters include the strengths approach to funding, organisational development, management and governance as well as immigration law, student learning and research. This book will give readers grounds for optimism as well as transferable practices for challenging social injustice.

Strengths-Based School Counseling: Promoting Student Development and Achievement
by JohnP. GalassiDespite calls for a more preventive and developmental mode of functioning, school counseling has tended to be driven by a reactive and sometimes crisis orientation. Like social workers and school, counseling, and clinical psychologists, school counselors typically function to alleviate deficits, often in a small percentage of the students they serve. Although this orientation has served school counselors well in many instances, it is not empowering, it does not serve all students, and it does not replace those deficits with the type of positive characteristics and abilities that schools are attempting to develop. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive look at the theory, research, and intervention strategies that comprise a strengths-based, developmental approach to school counseling. In keeping with ASCA recommendations, the Strengths-Based School Counseling (SBSC) framework discusses academic, personal/social and career development outcomes for all students at the elementary, middle and secondary school levels. Other key features include: integrative framework�SBSC builds upon contemporary research from a variety of areas: school counseling, developmental psychology, school psychology, education, positive psychology, resiliency, and social work. evidence-based interventions�detailed examples of successful evidence-based interventions and environments are presented at the elementary, middle, and high school levels for each major developmental area (academic, personal/social, and career) identified in ASCA�s National Model. readability and pedagogy�beautifully written, the text includes lists of key points, tables of student strengths, illustrative examples, and student exercises.

Stress, Bewältigung und Persönlichkeit: Forschungsüberblick und Anwendungsperspektiven
by Heinz Walter KrohneDieses Buch liefert einen Brückenschlag zwischen den Erfahrungen von Menschen mit Stress und Stressbewältigung, der neuesten Forschung in diesem Bereich und den Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Praxis. Sein wesentliches Thema ist die Bedeutung von Unterschieden zwischen Menschen im Erleben und Bewältigen von Belastungen. Daraus folgt die Notwendigkeit, die präventive und therapeutische Praxis im Hinblick auf das Erreichen einer wirksamen Stressbewältigung an diese Unterschiede anzupassen. Betrachtet man diese (relativ stabilen) Unterschiede zwischen Menschen, so ergibt sich für die Praxis eine wesentliche Konsequenz: Eine generell (also für alle Betroffenen) empfohlene und praktizierte Form der Bewältigung (z.B. Ablenkung, Entspannung, Achtsamkeit auf Prozesse im eigenen Körper) kann zwar bei bestimmten Personen hilfreich sein, bei anderen Menschen aber eher negativ wirken. So lassen sich Personen prinzipiell in zwei Gruppen einordnen: Vermeidende Personen haben die Tendenz, belastenden Ereignissen bzw. Erlebnissen aus dem Weg zu gehen, etwa indem sie die Schwere der Belastung herunterspielen oder sich gar nicht erst mit ihr befassen. Überwachern geht es hingegen darum, möglichst viel Information über eine Belastung (z.B. eine bevorstehende Operation) zu erhalten, um sich so sicherer zu fühlen und die Situation besser kontrollieren zu können. Methoden zur Messung dieser Merkmale werden beschrieben sowie Forschungen vorgestellt, die die jeweils optimale Bewältigung bei vermeidenden bzw. überwachenden Personen beschreiben. Auf der Grundlage dieser Thematik werden Möglichkeiten zur praktischen Anwendung vorgestellt, die auf Erkenntnissen aus diesen Forschungen beruhen. Dabei konzentriert sich das Buch auf drei Felder: • Gesundheit mit den beiden Themen Bewältigung und körperliche Gesundheit sowie psychologische Behandlung von Patienten bei medizinischen Eingriffen • Stressbewältigung und Leistungsverhalten • Prävention im Hinblick auf den Einfluss der Sozialisation (speziell der elterlichen Erziehung) auf die Entwicklung der Stressbewältigung beim Kind Die Zielgruppen • Studierende, Lehrende und Praktiker der (Gesundheits-)Psychologie, Sozial-, Gesundheits- und Erziehungswissenschaften, die Informationen zu hier bedeutsamen wissenschaftlichen Themen (u.a. Gesundheitsverhalten und -erziehung, Leistungsanforderungen, Sozialisationsprozesse) suchen. • Personen, die für die Bewältigung ihrer alltäglichen Belastungen das Angebot der vielen hierzu vorliegenden Ratgeber nicht befriedigt und nach auf neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen basierenden, Informationen suchen

Stress in Teaching
by Dr Jack Dunham Jack DunhamThe stress involved in a career in teaching has increased considerably in recent years. In England and Wales the implementation of the Education Reform Act has led to a whole range of organisational and curricular changes to add to the existing pressures of discipline problems, poor working conditions and low pay. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and even physical illness are just some of the symptoms that result. This established guide, now wholly updated for teachers and managers in the 1990s, shows how to recognize the signs of stress and how to develop strategies to control it. Its practical advice, field-tested in numberous workshops for teachers and heads, should help scholls to reduce pressures on their staff by the development of satisfactory whole-school policies and teachers to be more effective in the management of their own stress levels.
