Problematic sexual behavior in children can be challenging to
understand, difficult to talk about, and hard to manage in school
and community settings. Without a systemic approach for addressing
these behaviors, communities run the risk of exposing their
children to harm and their organizations to liability. In
Problematic Sexual Behavior in Schools, Wilson Kenney lays out a
comprehensive school and community-based model for identifying and
addressing problematic sexual behavior in children that is based on
best-practice models for threat assessment. The reader will find
practical and fiscally sensitive recommendations regarding school
and community supervision, ideas for accessing consultation,
information about Title IX, and advice regarding how best to
approach these topics with families. Additionally, this book
contains all the necessary paperwork and guidance needed to
establish a formal school-based process for addressing problematic
sexual behavior in children, regardless of the size of one's
community. It is a comprehensive how-to guidebook for keeping both
schools and communities safe.
This book feasibly translates validated research and best practices
in assessment so that the reader can incorporate the best practices
of assessment into practical routines in schools and the classroom.
Readers of this book will strengthen their knowledge and skills in
selecting, designing, and using assessments that enable all
learners to actively participate and monitor their own progress
towards learning objectives. This book is intended to be a hands-on
guide for educators and students on the best and most effective
practices for supporting students in their role as self-assessors.
It develops sequentially from ensuring that students are assessment
ready, to engaging students in assessment, and ultimately
empowering students as assessors. Readers can also rely on the book
to help them improve specific aspects of self-assessment that are
most important in their setting and for their students.
White teachers in multiracial schools are looking for ways to
understand how to make a difference with their students of color in
their classrooms. This book will help teachers make that
difference.
In recent years hundreds of high-profile 'free speech' incidents
have rocked US college campuses. Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Ann
Coulter and other right-wing speakers have faced considerable
protest, with many being disinvited from speaking. These incidents
are widely circulated as examples of the academy's intolerance
towards conservative views. But this response is not the
spontaneous outrage of the liberal colleges. There is a darker
element manufacturing the crisis, funded by political operatives,
and designed to achieve specific political outcomes. If you follow
the money, at the heart of the issue lies the infamous and
ultra-libertarian Koch donor network. Grooming extremist
celebrities, funding media platforms that promote these
controversies, developing legal organizations to sue universities
and corrupting legislators, the influence of the Koch network runs
deep. We need to abandon the 'campus free speech' narrative and
instead follow the money if we ever want to root out this dangerous
network from our universities.
