This text for preservice and in-service teacher education courses
shows how schools can educate girls and promote their positive
self-esteem at the same time. Its purpose is to help teachers
facilitate the development of gender-equitable schools and
classrooms. Taking a feminist developmental approach, the text
draws on an interdisciplinary knowledge base, synthesizing research
from psychology, anthropology, sociology, and education. While it
is rooted in scholarly research, the focus is on clarifying the
connection between theory and practice, with an emphasis on
practical applications. The text is organized in two
sections--"Growth and Development" and "Teaching and Learning"--and
includes a variety of engaging pedagogical features. Underscoring
the need for teachers, school administrators, and parents to become
aware of the intersection of development and education, Educating
Young Adolescent Girls: *combines gender, growth, and development;
*demonstrates how schooling can facilitate the total development of
young adolescent girls; and *addresses a multiplicity of issues,
including adolescent girls of color and young adolescents girls'
sexuality.

Gregory Inwood, Carolyn Johns, and Patricia O'Reilly offer unique
insights into intergovernmental policy capacity, revealing what key
decision-makers and policy advisors behind the scenes think the
barriers are to improved intergovernmental policy capacity and what
changes they recommend. Senior public servants from all
jurisdictions in Canada discuss the ideas, institutions, actors,
and relations that assist or impede intergovernmental policy
capacity. Covering good and bad economic times and comparing
insiders' concerns and recommendations with those of scholars of
federalism, public policy, and public administration, they provide
a comparative analysis of major policy areas across fourteen
governments. Intergovernmental policy capacity, while of increasing
importance, is not well understood. By examining how the Canadian
federation copes with today's policy challenges, the authors
provide guideposts for federations and governments around the world
working on the major policy issues of our day.
