Structured Literacy - Emily Sharp - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Structured Literacy - Emily Sharp - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This book follows the explicit instructional sequence noted by educational researchers as the most effective means of teaching students new skills and content. It begins by offering a rationale for why students should be interested in learning about structured literacy, and how they can use it in their teaching practice. It provides background knowledge needed to contextualize the book’s content. Then, it takes learners step by step through the process of assessing students and creating effective structured literacy instructional routines. Detailed information about how to implement structured literacy instruction and intervention at all three tiers is provided. This textbook will be a unique and valuable addition to the extant literature because thus far, no book has approached the topic in this way. There are books about structured literacy that include examples of learning activities (Spear-Swerling, et al., 2021), but there is no single comprehensive textbook that can be readily picked up and used by college instructors and their students. This book is not a compendium of the research, nor is it a program with scripted lessons. It is a comprehensive textbook that uniquely provides the background information on structured literacy and the methods related content needed to successfully prepare preservice teachers to assess, plan and implement structured literacy instruction and intervention. The book is designed to be used in the context of a college level one or two semester undergraduate or graduate literacy course. Currently, no similar textbook exists. This book defines structured literacy, describes the history of reading research and the science of reading. Then, the book provides explicit information about how students learn to read and the most effective methods and strategies teachers can use to teach reading to all students. Next, the book provides detailed and specific instruction in specific structured literacy practices to use at Tiers 1 and 2. Intensive assessment, diagnostic and instructional strategies for learners who require individualized Tier 3 intervention are thoroughly explained. Many detailed examples of specific instructional routines and corrective procedures are included, along with reproducibles that support lesson planning, implementation, and assessment. At the end of each chapter, discussion questions and suggestions for hands-on learning activities are provided. Preparing pre-service teachers in the whys and hows of structured literacy instruction and intervention allows them to teach reading effectively according to current understanding of the science of reading. Teachers prepared with this knowledge base will be able to use the resources in this book to create additional materials and adapt materials from any literacy program to individualize instruction according to the needs of their students. This book will be a valuable addition to any college level general or special education reading methods course. The instructional routines taught in the book are designed to be accessible to students with and without disabilities. Effective reading instruction, such as the kind described in this book, increases educational equity for students of color and English learners. Suggestions for differentiating instruction based upon individual student needs are provided.

All cases are realistic, timely, and thought-provoking, supplemented with a series of discussion questions for a school staff or safety group or a university student enrolled in an administrative course of study. Rather than a theoretical approach or one based on scientific investigation or a specific model, the author describes events and circumstances that are present and problematic in many schools here and abroad. Becoming familiar with potential solutions is as important as pinpointing available sources in one''s own school district. School Crisis Case Studies provides readers with the opportunity to anticipate specific crisis situations and suggests responses, using the security measures and personnel available in the schools they are familiar with.

Media & Minorities - Stephanie Greco Larson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Media & Minorities - Stephanie Greco Larson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

"You''re fired!" became the catch phrase in the spring of 2004 as NBC''s The Apprentice captured public and media attention. Even though The Apprentice was not exclusively about race, it communicated and reinforced racial messages that are part and parcel of the dominant American ideology. No matter which minority group is represented, the media in America offer the same bill of fare: first, exclusion; followed by stereotyping that makes a sharp distinction between "good" minority members and "bad" ones; and finally, the telling of stories that justify racial inequality in American society. Media & Minorities looks at all these tendencies with an eye to identifying the "system-supportive" messages conveyed and offering challenges to them. The book covers all major media—including television, film, newspapers, radio, and magazines—and systematically analyzes their representation of the four largest minority groups in the United States: African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Entertainment media are compared and contrasted with news media, and special attention is devoted to coverage of social movements for racial justice and politicians of color. Political communication scholar Stephanie Greco Larson brings sharp insight into how the white-dominated media do a disservice to all their audiences when it comes to their representation of racial and ethnic minorities. She gives us ammunition for decoding the dominant messages and then combating them, whether through political activism, "culture jamming," or the creation and patronage of alternative media. Larson encourages readers to fight the misleading media messengers, saying "you''re fired!" to media that undermine racial equality.

The Cultural Gradient - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Cultural Gradient - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Is there a sharp dividing line that separates Europe into ''East'' and ''West''? This volume brings together prominent scholars from the United States, Canada, France, Poland, and Russia to examine the evolution of the concept of Europe in the two centuries between the French Revolution and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Inspired by the ideas of Martin Malia, the contributors take a flexible view of the ''cultural gradient''—the emergence, interaction, and reception of ideas across Europe. The essays address three dimensions of the gradient—the history of ideas, regimes and political practices, and the contemporary political and intellectual scene. In exploring the movement of ideas throughout Europe, The Cultural Gradient brings a new historical perspective to the field of European studies.

Seven Ways to Fix Policing NOW - Kathleen O'toole - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Seven Ways to Fix Policing NOW - Kathleen O'toole - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This practical guide to policing reform presents a call to action to address a threefold crisis in policing – a catastrophic loss of trust between police and the communities they serve; a sharp increase in violent crime after decades of decline; and a serious recruitment and retention challenge depleting police departments across the United States. The authors also recognize that, while these issues are now top of mind, policing needs far-reaching reform in order to respond to changes in society and its expectations, changes in crime and other threats to public safety, new technologies, and developments in best practice. Most reform to date has been piecemeal, as the book describes. The time has come to take a comprehensive look at every aspect of policing.

Stormy Passage - Eric Van Young - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In this engaging book, Eric Van Young traces the political, economic, and social development of Mexico through the crucial one hundred years of its remarkable transition from a relatively prosperous Spanish colony to a violently unstable republic marked by economic stagnation, political confrontation, and burgeoning efforts at modernization. Featuring primary sources from figures of the period, Van Young discusses the political instability of the period—internal warfare, military uprisings, intermittent dictatorships, sharp conflicts among political groupings—and attributes them to a belief by political actors in the fundamental lack of legitimacy in central government institutions after the sweeping away of the Bourbon imperial structure and its replacement first with a very short-lived Mexican empire followed by a series of increasingly authoritarian aspirational republican constitutions.

Black Valor - Frank N. Schubert - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

They were U.S. Army soldiers. Just a few years earlier, some had been slaves. Several thousand African Americans served as soldiers in the Indian Wars and in the Cuban campaign of the Spanish-American War in the latter part of the nineteenth century. They were known as buffalo soldiers, believed to have been named by Indians who had seen a similarity between the coarse hair and dark skin of the soldiers and the coats of the buffalo. Twenty-three of these men won the nation''s highest award for personal bravery, the Medal of Honor. Black Valor brings the lives of these soldiers into sharp focus. Their remarkable stories are told in the collected biography. Derived from extensive historical research, Black Valor will enrich and inspire students with its tales of trials and courage.

Political Influence Operations - Darren E. Tromblay - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Russian interference with the 2016 U.S. elections brought the problem of foreign influence on American politics into sharp relief. However, externally-sponsored subversion of U.S. decision making has been a shadowy threat to American policy for the better part of a century. Political Influence Operations provides an incisive examination of how external actors have infiltrated American society—from lobbyists, to academia, to the media—in order to further their own objectives. Tromblay draws upon historical examples to demonstrate how U.S. adversaries – and sometimes its ostensible allies – have used the openness of American society against the country’s best interests. By identifying vulnerabilities and exposing the underlying dynamics of foreign influence, the book provides a roadmap for U.S. governmental and private sector entities to navigate the currents of international engagement.

The Myth of Aristotle's Development and the Betrayal of Metaphysics - Walter E. Wehrle - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Myth of Aristotle's Development and the Betrayal of Metaphysics - Walter E. Wehrle - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In this radical reinterpretation of Aristotle''s Metaphysics, Walter E. Wehrle demonstrates that developmental theories of Aristotle are based on a faulty assumption: that the fifth chapter of Categories (''substance'') is an early theory of metaphysics that Aristotle later abandoned. The ancient commentators unanimously held that the Categories was semantical and not metaphysical, and so there was no conflict between it and the Metaphysics proper. They were right, Wehrle argues: the modern assumption, to the contrary, is based on a medieval mistake and is perpetuated by the anti-metaphysical postures of contemporary philosophy. Furthermore, by using the logico-semantical distinction in Aristotle''s works, Wehrle shows just how the principal ''contradictions'' in Metaphysics Books VII and VIII can be resolved. The result in an interpretation of Aristotle that challenges mainstream viewpoints, revealing a supreme philosopher in sharp contrast to the developmentalists'' version.

Reconcilable Differences - Michael Brenner - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

" The U.S.-French relationship is unique in mixing elements of rivalry and cooperation. Historical allies and comrades in arms, the United States and France are often fractious and quarrelsome. Their promotion of competing visions for a post-Cold War Europe gives a sharp edge to disputes over security and trade issues. Yet their mutual interests as partners in multiple collective enterprises compel them to find ways to put their relations on a surer footing. Doing so is also the key to meeting the larger challenge of reconciling America''s dominance as the global superpower with the aspirations of a strengthening European Union. The authors of this study examine how national identity, political culture, and diplomatic style strain ties between Washington and Paris. They prescribe a set of policy and procedural remedies and lay out a strategy for sustaining more constructive collaboration. "
