Reconceptualizing Curriculum, Literacy, and Learning for School-Age
Mothers offers a portrait of classroom literacy practices and
learning opportunities that are provided for school-age mothers in
two different schools. Through a series of case studies of school
sites, teachers, and students, this book presents evidence of how
these at-risk students use literacy in complex ways in the
classroom and in their everyday lives. Attuned to the struggle for
school-age mothers' access to meaningful and challenging curriculum
in public schools, as well as to the relative dearth of scholarly
research on the topic, this volume demonstrates how educators can
rethink the issue of schooling for this population of students.

Overcoming Student Apathy: Succeeding with All Learners provides a
candid look into the hearts and minds of many of today's struggling
learners. Frustrated teachers and administrators typically stop at
labeling the symptoms shown by these students: apathetic,
unmotivated, lazy. Overcoming Student Apathy clarifies the issues,
while proposing solutions to move forward with each student. The
second edition has added three additional chapters that focus on
critical issues surrounding today's learners: a look at keystone
habits that influence student behavior, addressing standards that
frame learning and technologies that can accent learning, and
creating highly engaged learning environments to achieve success
with all. Undoubtedly apathy currently plagues many of our middle
and high school classrooms. This book starts the conversation on
how to move beyond "they just don't care" by focusing on solutions
that help to eradicate this nemesis to learning.
