Handsome is the brains behind the operation; Sammy, his best
friend, is the muscle; Victor is the tough guy; and Applebee writes
'crazy small' crib notes. They're the four best cheaters North
Point Academy has ever seen, but their day is over. When their
newest plot is uncovered, the guys decide to go straight. But how
long can they be good when every test provides new opportunity?
In this timely and thoughtful call to action, author and educator
Starr Sackstein examines the critical intersection between
assessment and social and emotional learning (SEL), particularly as
it affects students of color and other marginalized groups. The
book addresses the five SEL competencies identified by the
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning
(CASEL)-self-awareness, self-management, social awareness,
relationship skills, and responsible decision making-and explains
how teaching students to develop their abilities in these areas can
help them improve their learning and assessment
experiences.Sackstein also raises important considerations for
educators, urging them to * Examine their implicit biases to
improve their relationships with students. * Deepen their
understanding of the impact of grades and assessments on students'
self-image and their ability to reach their full potential as
learners. * Develop personalized assessment systems that ensure an
accurate, fair, and equitable portrayal of what students know and
can do. In addition to presenting the relevant research, Sackstein
draws from personal experience and the reflections of students,
teachers, and administrators to present a compelling case for
approaching assessment through the SEL lens. Educators at all
levels who have witnessed the devasting effects that testing can
have on students' beliefs in themselves as learners will find
Assessing with Respect to be an invaluable guide to ensuring better
outcomes-and better emotional health-for all students.

Mental health has become the principal concern as adolescents
struggle with a host of issues such as anxiety, academic pressures,
gender, substances, social media, complicated family compositions
and a vulnerable planet. This book provides psychotherapists with a
clear theoretical understanding and practical application for
navigating the increasingly complex adolescent experience as young
people adjust and respond to the present-day world. Starrs presents
a contemporary understanding of adolescence, identifying three
principal character styles and offering experience-near
descriptions of the modern-day adolescent. The author demonstrates
how each configuration style in adolescence elicits a predictable
response in parents and examines the challenges and dilemmas facing
parents in today’s world, highlighting the patterns and pitfalls
which often render parental interventions ineffective.
Developmentally attuned parenting strategies are outlined,
pertaining to each configuration style. The in-depth analysis of
adolescent process and parental response has implications for the
therapeutic encounter. Intervention focuses both on one-to-one work
with the adolescent and parental involvement. The complexity of
working with adolescents and parents who demonstrate psychological
entrenchment is also outlined. This highly readable, original and
exceptional contribution is suitable for psychotherapists, allied
professionals and parents alike.

Delve into the world of fourteenth-century England in this
thrilling historical mystery, the fifteenth in the brilliant
Chronicles of Hugh de Singleton. Edmund Harkins has gone missing.
Few in Bampton liked him, knowing him to be a wife-beater and
distinctly unsavoury character, so when some hungry pigs unearth
his corpse from a shallow grave, there is hardly an outpouring of
grief. As bailiff, it is Hugh de Singleton's duty to bring Edmund's
killer to justice. But where is he to start investigating when
almost everyone in the village has a motive? And when everyone is
pleased to see the scoundrel dead, who knows how far they might go
to help someone get away with murder? To further complicate Hugh's
life, the Bishop of Exeter has appointed his nephew as Bampton's
new vicar. But as well as an obsession with discovering any
heretical views Hugh might hold, he could not be more unpriestly -
he not only acts appallingly with Lady Katherine's maid, but is
contributing to the unhealthy atmosphere of suppression and
suspicion that has come to pervade the village . . . Fast paced and
full of twists and turns, Suppression and Suspicion is a brilliant
medieval murder mystery perfect for fans of Susanna Gregory and
Peter Ellis. Mel Starr paints an immersive and atmospheric picture
of fourteenth-century England, and weaves a compelling mystery that
will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. The
fifteenth volume in the Chronicles of Hugh de Singleton,
Suppression and Suspicion will be thoroughly enjoyed by long time
fans of the series but can also be read as a standalone novel.

The microeconomic foundation of the theory of money has long
represented a puzzle to economic theory. Why is there Money?
derives the foundations of monetary theory from advanced price
theory in a mathematically precise family of trading post models.
It has long been recognized that the fundamental theoretical
analysis of a market economy is embodied in the Arrow-Debreu-Walras
mathematical general equilibrium model, with one great deficiency:
the analysis cannot accommodate money and financial institutions.
In this groundbreaking book, Ross M. Starr addresses this problem
directly, by expanding the Arrow-Debreu model to include a
multiplicity of trading opportunities, with the resultant
endogenous derivation of money as the carrier of value among them.
This fundamental breakthrough is achieved while maintaining the
Walrasian general equilibrium price-theoretic structure, augmented
primarily by the introduction of separate bid and ask prices
reflecting transaction costs. The result is foundations of monetary
theory consistent with and derived from modern price theory. This
fascinating book will provide a stimulating and thought-provoking
read for academics and postgraduate students focusing on economics,
macroeconomics, macroeconomic policy and finance, money and
banking. Central bankers will also find much to interest them
within this book. Contents: Introduction: Why is There No Money? 1.
Why is There Money? 2. An Economy Without Money 3. The Trading Post
Model 4. An Elementary Linear Example: Liquidity Creates Money 5.
Absence of Double Coincidence of Wants is Essential to Monetization
