The 'Get to Know Me' resources aim to support children, along with
those around them, who may have additional/special educational
needs. They are designed to empower the professionals and adults
who support those with identified needs, and encourage empathy and
understanding. Developed by child psychologist Louise Lightfoot,
the Guidebook, Picture book and Draw-along book in this three-part
set will help key adults support children with depression.
Practical guidance, tools and strategies are supported by a
narrative picture book and a draw-along version, which explore the
thoughts, feelings and sensations experienced by many children with
depression.
When children with learning challenges are identified, the
educational community in the United States diligently applies a
well-established model of remediation that has, for the most part,
yielded positive results. Research, however, has demonstrated that
the American perception of disability may vary from those in
Eastern cultures. These cultural differences can play a significant
role in the failure to achieve learning success on behalf of
children from the Middle East, North Africa, and Southwest Asian
(MENASWA) families. It is critical for the school community to
recognize and acknowledge these differences and bring them into
alignment in order to meet these students' learning needs. Learning
Challenges for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Students
With Disabilities is an essential reference publication that
identifies ways in which CLD families can be involved with schools
to help build educators' cultural competence and explores the idea
of disabilities as a social model with a focus on strengths rather
than a medical model focused on needs and weaknesses. Featuring
coverage on a wide range of topics including racial identity,
leadership wisdom, and family-school collaboration, this book is
ideally designed for educators, principals, administrators,
curriculum developers, instructional designers, policymakers,
advocates, researchers, academicians, and students.
When bad behaviour threatens to derail lessons and undermine
teaching, it's easy to feel like you've run out of solutions.
Enter: Nikki Cunningham-Smith. With her comforting sense of humour,
wealth of experience and ability to see positives in even the most
nightmarish of classroom scenarios, Nikki encourages early career
teachers to reflect on their practice, take care of their mental
health and implement behaviour management strategies that really
work. Feel Free to Smile draws on anecdotes from Nikki's time as a
teacher in alternative provision settings, as well as contributions
from fellow professionals and current NQTs such as Ross Morrison
McGill, Vivienne Porritt, Kemi Oloyede and Sarah Mullin. It
provides practical strategies, tips and quick fixes for dealing
with difficult behaviour and keeping your cool in testing
situations. With advice on all aspects of behaviour, as well as
reflective questions and space to jot down your thoughts, this book
is the perfect companion if you're feeling daunted by challenging
behaviour and looking for an experienced voice to help lead the
way.
