The foundational tenets of household archaeology were established more than three decades ago by anthropological archaeologists seeking multiscalar approaches to the archaeological record. The study of the household as the basic unit of society and as a window to larger social, economic, and political change reflected in the everyday actions of ......
Build a lasting foundation for math proficiency right from the startThe 'math' is on the wall: unless we can instill in our youngest mathematicians a solid understanding of number sense, they have little hope of mastering the more rigorous fractions and algebra that lie ahead. A key piece is identifying precisely where students are likely to struggle, then intervening with smart, targeted instruction. That's where Witzel and Riccomini's Building Number Sense Through the Common Core fits in.Grounded in research-supported instruction with aligned assessments to ensure comprehension, this essential resource provides:aTeaching strategies that build number sense skills, including quantity and cardinality, numeral/number recognition, fact fluency, math language, and moreAdaptations for students with specific needs, including English learners and students with disabilities, based on an RTI approachGuidance on measuring number sense through assessments and preparing students for standardized testingUser-friendly charts, tables, and sample math problems for planning curriculum and lessonsDiscover strategies that enable your students to develop a fundamental sense for numbers and create a lasting foundation for math proficiency! 'The authors describe how each common standard should be taught, which makes this a quick and immensely useful resource. I've already begun using the strategies with my fellow teachers.'uDeborah Gordon, Third-Grade TeacherMadison School District, Phoenix, AZ'This is an evidence based, accessible manual on how, why, and what to teach. Well written with effective examples and scenarios to illustrate key points, this book should be read by anyone interested in improving outcomes for children in mathematics.'uAnnmarie Urso, Assistant ProfessorState University of New York at Geneseo
Compassionately written by an experienced team of professionals, this book offers parents and families essential information about the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of sex development, or DSD.DSD refers to medical conditions, usually discovered at birth, in which there is disagreement between a person's genetic sex (i.e., ......
This encyclopedia covers response to disasters around the world, from governments to NGOs, from charities to politics, from refugees to health, and from economics to international relations, covering issues in both historical and contemporary context. The volumes include information relevant to students of sociology, national security, economics, health sciences, political science, emergency preparedness, history, agriculture, and many other subjects. The goal is to help readers appreciate the importance of the effects, responsibilities, and ethics of disaster relief, and to initiate educational discussion brought forth by the specific cultural, scientific, and topical articles contained within the work. Including 425 signed entries in a two-volume set presented in A-to-Z format, and drawing contributors from varied academic disciplines, this encyclopedia also features a preface by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton of the 9/11 Commission. This reference resource examines disaster response and relief in a manner that is authoritative yet accessible, jargon-free, and balanced to help readers better understand issues from varied perspectives. Key Themes - Geography - Government and International Agencies - History - Human-induced Disasters - Infrastructure - Local Response - Major Disasters (Relief Case Studies) - Medicine and Psychology - Methods and Practices - Mitigation - Natural Disasters (Overviews) - Politics and Funding - Preparedness - Recovery - Response - Science and Prediction - Sociology - U.S. Geographical Response
Widely praised in its first edition fourteen years ago and now thoroughly updated in a new edition, Judicial Policies assesses the implementation, impact, and consequences of judicial rulings. It systematically explores the effects of judicial decisions on the people who carry them out, and the individuals and organizations who feel their impact. This second edition discusses and responds to the significant research that has been published since the first edition appeared.Arguing that judicial policies in the United States are substantially influenced by how the courts and other political actors respond, authors Canon and Johnson employ a heuristic model of different populations and their responses to judicial decisions as a means of: explaining the implementation of judicial policies as a political process, examining the events that usually follow judicial decisions, and organizing the literature in the field. The concluding chapter addresses the important question of whether the judiciary actually makes a difference in the American political system. Canon and Johnson delineate examples where the courts have clearly had an impact and those where they have had little influence.
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a relatively new system for assessment and instruction that has promising potential for teaching mathematics. This book presents a discussion about RTI in mathematics and offers guidelines for teachers responsible for the planning, designing, and delivering of mathematics instructional programmes that reach all students. Each chapter begins with a brief description of how RTI can be implemented in various areas of maths and presents multiple examples of RTI procedures that are illustrated by various case studies. Guidelines in each chapter address common concerns and provide suggestions for multiple interventions related to the specific maths areas. The authors explain the need for effective interventions and include: - The types of interventions that are appropriate within an RTI system for mathematics - Intervention examples in the context of small group instruction - A call for increased research
In 1968-69, Columbia University became the site for a collision of American social movements. Black Power, student power, antiwar, New Left, and Civil Rights movements all clashed with local and state politics when an alliance of black students and residents of Harlem and Morningside Heights openly protested the school's ill-conceived plan to ......
