Karen Quinn has successfully taught hundreds of parents how to prepare their children for testing, and "Testing For Kindergarten" is her ultimate, comprehensive guide to having fun while teaching to the underlying abilities every test assesses.
Whether your child is going to a private kindergarten or a public school, he or she will most likely be tested--and placed in classrooms according to those results. But information about intelligence tests is closely guarded, and it can be difficult to understand what your kids need to know.
As an expert who has successfully taught hundreds of parents how to work with their own children, Karen Quinn has written the ultimate guide to preparing your child for kindergarten testing. The activities she suggests are "not "about "teaching to the test." They are about having fun while teaching to the underlying abilities every test assesses.
From the "right" way to have a conversation to natural ways to bring out your child's inner math geek, Quinn shares the techniques that every parent can do with their kids to give them the best chance to succeed in school and beyond. It's just good parenting--and better test scores are icing on the cake.

K-12 Career Development: An Integrative Social Justice Approach provides school counselors-in-training with a clear and comprehensive theoretical model to help them build and maintain a K-12 career development program within schools that feature a holistic focus on applied social justice principles.

Later chapters focus on practical applications, presenting the steps, actions, and programming involved in implementing and sustaining an effective and social justice-oriented K-12 career development program, with interventions provided for specific grade ranges. Closing chapters examine advanced considerations, including social justice and community partnerships, anti-racist practices, trauma-informed career development, data collection for program maintenance and evaluation, and more. An innovative and essential text, K-12 Career Development is an exemplary resource for school counselors-in-training and in practice.
