Over the last decade, significant changes have occurred in how
schools are organized, how educators are prepared and certified,
how accreditation policies have shifted both curriculum and
content, as well as changes to the demographics of middle school
classrooms. This volume, Preparing Middle Level Educators for 21st
Century Schools: Enduring Beliefs, Changing Times, Evolving
Practices provides a review of current research focused on middle
level educator preparation at all levels. Our enduring beliefs
about young adolescents have not changed (e.g., need for
developmentally responsive instruction, caring adults who
understand them and are prepared to teach them, opportunities to
explore their interests) but the political and sociocultural
climate of schools and schooling has. In light of changing times,
this volume allows researchers and teacher educators to share
research from their context and inform the evolving practices of
educator preparation for the middle level. The research presented
in this volume is organized into three sections, with an
introduction provided for each. The authors grounded their work in
the Association for Middle Level Education's teacher preparation
standards (2012) and tenets of This We Believe (NMSA, 2010). By
doing so, they examine topics that hold potential for meeting the
learning needs of teachers and students in middle level schools.
The first section includes chapters from individuals working to
ensure that the enduring beliefs of middle level education continue
to guide the structures of their middle level teacher preparation
programs. The second set of chapters closely examines how changing
times are shaping the work of teacher educators. Finally, the last
section spotlights evolving practices that continue to develop in
response to the changes impacting our classrooms, schools, and
communities. This text provides readers with researched-based
practices and information to help them continue the tradition of
middle level teacher education. The enduring beliefs of preparing
teachers who understand, respect, and honor the many talents,
gifts, and contributions of the young adolescent student will guide
teacher educators as they respond to the changing times of
education and the evolving practices of teachers, teacher
educators, and schools.

The phenomenon of child trafficking holds a unique position as an
issue of significant contemporary relevance, occupying a principal
place in debates about human rights today. The interchangeable
terms trafficking and modern slavery evoke emotive responses and
proclamations about abolition of contemporary ills, viewed as the
ultimate aberration when a child is involved. The classification of
children under legal frameworks marks them as different, as
‘other’, and in the context of laws implemented to address
trafficking, slavery, and children on the move more generally, this
distinction is complicated. This book charts the emergence, decline
and re-emergence of child trafficking law and policy during the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It provides a systematic and
comprehensive overview of the historical origins of child
trafficking by utilising the wealth of information located within
the non-digitised archives of the League of Nations. It focusses
upon the Committee on the Traffic in Women and Children to engage
with League of Nations policy to provide an insightful and original
contribution to the current body of literature. This is a book that
seeks to critique the entanglements of children’s rights and
colonialism in relation to the mobility and exploitation of
children. It centralises the legacy of colonialism, the
undercurrents of race, white supremacy, patriarchy, and their
ongoing influence upon contemporary anti-trafficking legal and
policy responses. Through utilizing what the author identifies as
the ‘anti-trafficking machine’ as a theoretical framework, the
book challenges contemporary law and policy responses to child
trafficking. This theoretical framework has been adopted to
illustrate a central hypothesis of the book – that the
contemporary anti-trafficking agenda is both imperialist and a
continuity of colonial attitudes.
Domestic violence in Asian-American communities remains a rarely
discussed, yet pervasive problem. With eight chapters each
dedicated to a different Asian-American community, the essays in
this volume follow the same general format. Contributors present an
overview of the culture, including topics such as migration
history, demographics, religious heritage, and views on gender and
mental health; they discuss existing research on the prevalence of
domestic violence; they present information on typical patterns of
help-seeking behavior and coping styles; and, finally, they discuss
treatment and policy implications. This unique project will provide
an indispensable tool for scholars and researchers in social work
and family studies who want to better understand the complexities
of serving this growing and diverse population.
