Understanding Twice-Exceptional Learners offers an in-depth look at
the needs and lived experiences of students who are
twice-exceptional. This book: Includes detailed examinations of
co-occurring disabilities commonly found in twice-exceptional
populations. Features studies of ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia,
autism spectrum disorders (ASD), anxiety, OCD, and more. Bridges
the divide between research about and practical strategies for
teaching gifted students with learning challenges. Is Ideal for
university teacher preparation courses and graduate programs.
Provides strength-based strategies that focus on students' unique
gifts and talents. Each chapter includes a comprehensive literature
review, suggested interventions, resources for further exploration,
and vignettes that highlight experiences of twice-exceptional
students and the behaviors and needs that practitioners might
commonly see in the classroom.
A completely revised and expanded fourth edition of this
best-selling pocket guide. Engineers' Data Book provides a concise
and useful source of up-to-date essential information for the
student or practising engineer. * Updated, expanded edition * Easy
to use * Handy reference guide * Core technical data
Culturally Responsive Teaching in Gifted Education is a
professional learning tool for practitioners who are working to
create more culturally responsive school and classroom
environments. This book: Focuses on gifted and talented students
from special populations, including those who are culturally,
linguistically, and economically diverse. Is presented as a
collection of essays written by educational advocates. Aims to
increase the cultural competence of teachers and school leaders. Is
organized in three sections: Culturally Responsive Practices; Race,
Ethnicity, and Culture; and Gender, Sex, and Sense of Self.
Provides readers with personal insights into the implicit biases
that exist within the educational system and gifted programs. Each
chapter illustrates the lived experiences of students from special
populations and includes reflection questions for continued
conversations and planning. Finally, an Educator Inventory is
provided that tasks educators with reflecting on their own personal
implicit biases and classroom practices related to the diverse
populations of gifted and talented students in our schools.
The HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is designed to help guide teachers in
identifying gifted students for programming. It is unique in
several ways. First, it is short, with only 11 items that measure
academic and social/affective components of giftedness, making it
easy to use. Second, it is invariant when used to identify students
from low-income and culturally diverse families. Third, it can be
used across grade levels, K-12. Finally, local norms ensure that
the data are relevant to the specific school populations. With
multiple measures and multiple pathways crucial for reversing the
inequities in identifying culturally, economically, and
linguistically diverse students, a teacher-nomination instrument
like the HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is an important component of
identification systems. The HOPE Teacher Rating Scale items have
been well-developed and subjected to research using more than
12,000 diverse students in five validity studies to date. This
manual is useful in understanding and interpreting the electronic
scores generated from teachers' ratings of their students. This
instrument is a must-have for any administrator or gifted-program
coordinator involved in student identification. To explore the full

This comprehensive sister volume to Cliff Matthews' highly
successful "Handbook of Mechanical Works Inspection" gives a
detailed coverage of pressure equipment and other mechanical plant
such as cranes and rotating equipment.
Key features: Accessible source of information Lavishly
illustrated with numerous diagrams, photographs, and tables A
wealth of valuable information Detailed, comprehensive coverage
Written in easily accessible style A 'must buy' reference book
The "Handbook of Mechanical In-Service Inspection" is a vital
source of information for: plant owners and operators maintenance
engineers inspection engineers from insurance companies and
'competent bodies' who perform in-service inspection health and
safety operatives engineers operating pressure systems and
mechanical plant all those concerned with the safe and efficient
operation of machinery, plant, and pressure equipment.
All engineering pressure systems and other types of mechanical
equipment must be installed, operated, and maintained properly. It
must be safe and comply with standards, regulations, and
guidelines. In-service inspection is more formally controlled by
statutory requirements than other types of inspection. The
"Handbook of Mechanical In-service Inspection" puts a good deal of
emphasis on the 'compliance' aspects and the 'duty of care'
requirements placed on plant owners, operators, and inspectors.
The book is suitable for those who operate pressure systems,
lifting equipment, and similar mechanical plant are subject to
rigorous inspection from external bodies as a matter of course. All
operators have a duty to conduct in-service checks and internal
inspection procedures to ensure thesafe, reliable, and economic
running of their equipment.
"A Practical Guide to Engineering Failure Investigation" has been
written with the specific purpose of helping those involved in
serious engineering failures. When mechanical plant fails, the
technical, legal and contractual issues become very involved and
complicated, and deciding causation can be difficult and prolonged.
The principles and methodologies explained here will help
engineers to link their technical knowledge to the commercial
realities of working with insurers, loss adjusters and their
representatives.
This book is essential reading for consultants, expert witnesses
and all engineers who may become involved in commercial failure
investigations.
CONTENTS INCLUDE: How to use this book Professional roles and
responsibilities Strategy and tactics of failure investigation The
inspection visit Doing a design and operation appraisal Mechanisms
of failure Deciding causation How to present your conclusions
Insurance investigations - deferring failure 'events' and proximate
cause - subrogation.
From the pages of Teaching for High Potential, a quarterly
publication of the National Association for Gifted Children, this
collection of articles is sure to be of use to any educator of
high-ability students. Topics included range from instructional
methods across all content areas, including tips and tools for
reading and vocabulary instruction, integrating STEM content, and
engaging students in math, to identification, differentiation, and
addressing gifted students' social-emotional needs. Articles also
delve into current issues pertinent to the field of gifted
education and this unique group of students, including
underachievement and underrepresented minority populations, as well
as new classroom strategies such as Makerspaces and teaching growth
mindset. This resource can be used to enhance a classroom lesson,
guide curriculum development, or supplement professional
development. The featured articles are unique, well written for the
audience, and selected by reviewers who understand what teachers
need.
This indispensable book systematically guides you through Pressure
Relief Valves and how they work. It shows how protective devices
perform an important function in preventing the accumulation of
overpressure that can result in failure and the uncontrolled
release of stored energy. They are therefore categorised as safety
critical items of engineering equipment. The book goes on to show
that their design and testing is heavily controlled by published
technical standards because many countries are covered by statutory
legislation.
The content of the book shows that service damage and
degradation mechanisms are outlined for various applications - PRVs
and bursting discs are used in a wide variety of process
conditions, ranging from clean service to heavily corrosive process
fluids. This results in a correspondingly large number of damage
mechanisms that can prevent them from working if they are not
inspected and tested correctly. Risk based inspection procedures
are introduced in this book as a method of minimising the chances
of failure, and therefore maintaining high levels of safety.
This "Quick Guide to Pressure Relief Valves" is intended to
provide easily accessible technical information for engineers and
technicians involved in the operation, testing and maintenance of
pressure systems. It also covers other types of protective devises
such as bursting discs.
