Schools and the Health of Children - Jennie Kronenfeld - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Schools and the Health of Children - Jennie Kronenfeld - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

With school budgets seeming to be inexorably contracting, and with welfare reform looming, the future of school health programs is both important and uncertain. Jennie Jacobs Kronenfeld begins by clearly defining the key issues in the debate and outlining the history of school health programs. She then turns to more contemporary examples of school health care delivery, with a special emphasis on the Arizona model—crucial due to its being the first state to go to a managed care Medicaid program. Finally, she theorizes on the likely future of school health care in the light of proposed changes to Medicaid and other welfare initiatives. Schools and the Health of Children will be of great interest to scholars and professionals in the area of public health, educational administration, as well as social work and public policy.

Review of Research in Education - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Language Policy, Politics, and Diversity in Education Edited by Kathryn M. Borman, University of South Florida, Terrence G. Wiley, Center for Applied Linguistics, David R. Garcia, Arizona State University, and Arnold B. Danzig, San José State University Review of Research in Education (Volume 38) explores the important role of educational language policies in promoting education as a human right. Even in English-dominant countries, such as the United States, it is important to understand the role of educational language policies (ELPs) in promoting educational access through the dominant language, and its impact on educational equity, achievement, and students’ sense of identity. This volume addresses whether language minorities have a right not only to linguistic accommodations but also to the promotion of their languages as a means for developing a positive identification with their languages and cultures. With language diversity in flux due to large-scale trends with widespread implications, this timely volume offers a solid background to inform and influence policies and programs for millions of students worldwide.

Minimalism, Scope, and VP Structure - Thomas Stroik - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Minimalism, Scope, and VP Structure - Thomas Stroik - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The book is very well organized. It argues for a particular shape of the VP and manages to do that consistently and tightly. It pulls together lots of data on the structure of the VP and on adverbials. This book would be very useful for graduate courses on wh-movement, argument-structure, and the structure of VP or any that combine these topics. --Elly van Gelderen, Department of English, Arizona State University In this scholarly book, author Thomas Stroik furthers recent directions in generative grammars. Bringing together Chomsky′s minimalist assumptions of syntactic representation with Aoun and Li′s theory of scope, Stroik investigates what the logical representation of a sentence can tell us about the structure of verb phrases (VPs). Claiming that scopal relations provide the clearest view of the structural relationship between noun phrase (NP) arguments, he uses scopal data to explore and expose the base argument structure of VPs. In his analysis of VP structure, Stroik discusses double-object constructions, multiple interrogatives, bare NP adverbials, and psych-verb constructions. Minimalism, Scope, and VP Structure will interest researchers, scholars, and advanced students in linguistic theory and is suitable for advanced courses in linguistics and syntax.

Evaluating America’s Teachers - W. James Popham - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Evaluating America’s Teachers - W. James Popham - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

When teacher evaluations are fair, everyone wins. Poor evaluation systems don’t just hurt teachers—they hurt students, too. That’s why America can’t afford to wait for the teacher-evaluation problem to be solved. To provide balanced, accurate, and rigorous evaluations that take into account each teacher’s particular circumstances, only one system can work: evidence-governed collegial judgment. As states and schools scramble to find workable responses to accountability mandates, well-informed educators can make key contributions. Start here with - - A discussion of common evaluation systems, including testing, value-added models, and observations - - Analysis of federal guidelines and state responses - - Action steps teachers and school leaders can take to influence policy - - A clear rationale and strategies for implementing a teacher evaluation model based on human judgment - Evaluating America’s Teachers demonstrates that the vision is possible: effective teacher evaluations that benefit schools as a whole. "Teachers, administrators, and policy makers rejoice! Here is a single book, from a nationally recognized scholar, that makes sense of the issues involved with the evaluation of teachers." —David C. Berliner, Regents’ Professor Emeritus Arizona State University "Once again Jim Popham has brought insight and clarity to a complex topic that only a person of his stature and expertise could provide." —Robert J. Marzano, CEO Marzano Research Laboratory "In an effective and diplomatic manner, Jim suggests concrete ways policymakers, along with local school leaders and teachers, can make sure our students are protected from summative teacher-evaluation systems that do more harm than good. No one should make policy at any level or strive to build a defensible teacher evaluation system without studying this book." —Rick Stiggins, Retired Executive Director Assessment Training Institute

Confessions in the Courtroom - Lawrence S. Wrightsman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Confessions in the Courtroom - Lawrence S. Wrightsman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

When the prosecution introduces confession testimony during a criminal trial, the effect is usually overwhelming. In fact, jurors′ verdicts are affected more by a confession than by eyewitness testimony. While eyewitness studies are massive in numbers, the topic of confession evidence has been largely ignored by psychologists and other social scientists. Confessions in the Courtroom seeks to rectify this discrepancy. This timely book examines how the legal system has evolved in its treatment of confessions over the last half century and discusses, at length, the U.S. Supreme Court′s decision regarding Arizona v. Fulminante which caused a reassessment of the acceptability of confessions generated under duress. The authors examine the causes of confessions and the interrogation procedure used by the police. They also evaluate the process for determining the admissability of confession testimony and provide excellent research on jurors′ reactions to voluntary and coerced confessions. Social scientists, attorneys, members of the criminal justice system, and students will find Confessions in the Courtroom to be an objective and readable treatment on this important topic. "In this short volume, the authors seek "to describe and evaluate what we know about confessions given to police and their impact at the subsequent trial." It is a comprehensive review of the social psychological literature and legal decisions surrounding confessions. One of the primary strengths of the manuscript is the interplay between social science and law fostered by the authors′ clear understanding of the boundaries between these disciplines and appreciation of the substantive areas they share. . . . [The authors] have produced a comprehensive and imminently readable legal and psychological treatise on confessions, valuable for established scholars and for students." --Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice

Teacher Assessment and the Assessment of Students with Diverse Learning Needs - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Teacher Assessment and the Assessment of Students With Diverse Learning Needs Edited by Jamal Abedi and Christian J. Faltis, both at University of California, Davis Assessments play an integral role in instruction, placement, promotion and efforts to ensure that students and teachers receive the support they need for success. At the same time, serious consequences can result if assessments are not constructed and used properly. If, for any reason, the assessment report results are not dependable due to unreliable or invalid tests, this can jeopardize the very population they were intended to serve. In Review of Research in Education (Volume 39), the authors bring awareness to specific considerations necessary in the use of high-stakes assessments, shed light on the decisions made based on the results of assessments and explore the implications of using high-stakes assessments for students with diverse learning needs. As the nation moves toward the development and implementation of a new generation of assessments, attention to teacher assessment and the assessment of students with diverse learning needs is of paramount importance.
