Although twice exceptional students are gradually receiving more
recognition and intervention, they are still a grossly underserved
segment of the school population. A Call to Action: Identification
and Intervention for Twice and Thrice Exceptional Students begins
with basic information about twice exceptional students-students
who are both gifted/talented and who also have learning
disabilities-and provides strategies for how educators can identify
these students. It is imperative that classroom teachers provide
intervention to address both exceptionalities since these students
often score at grade level on standardized tests, the giftedness
score lowered by the learning disability raised by the giftedness,
resulting in neither exceptionality being addressed because they do
not qualify for either of the special services. This book discusses
the Informal Reading Inventory, how it should be administered, and
how the information provided by this instrument can enable the
classroom teacher to meet the special needs of these students. It
also presents Stopwatch Spelling, a program that with a fast-paced,
confidence-building approach, helps many students overcome a
frustrating impediment to becoming proficient readers and spellers.
A Call to Action draws upon classroom and clinical experiences,
field work, and interviews with twice exceptional students of all
ages, parents, and community partners.

Banishing Bullying Behavior challenges students, parents,
educators, education support professionals, administrators,
counselors, and policy makers to confront the culture of cruelty
that is devastating our society. This book is filled with insights,
personal stories, anecdotal material, and strategies that are
directed to the widest audience possible. It urges us to become
change agents and empower children to transform their pain, rage,
and revenge to empathy, kindness, and healing. Fried and Sosland
tackle the demanding questions about physical, verbal, emotional,
sexual, cyber, sibling, and even summer camp bullying. What sets
this book apart is Chapter Eleven, "the Student Empowerment
Session," which focuses on giving students ownership of the problem
and the solutions. Anti-bullying legislation and school policies
are essential supports, but we must change the hearts, attitudes,
and behavior of students. President Obama said it well, "Bullying
is not normal and it is not inevitable." The implication of that
statement is daunting but not impossible. Banishing Bullying
Behavior will inspire you to prevent peer abuse and intervene
effectively when necessary.
Fried and Sosland bring their combined experiences together to
present a blueprint to reduce the pain, rage and revenge cycle of
bullying. Their strategies have been captured from hands-on
interaction with educators, parents and students. Their premise
comes from the apocryphal village that is being ravaged by
dysentery. Do you treat each person for their intestinal disorders
or do you put in a sewer system? Do you work with each individual
student or do you change a culture that hosts cruelty. Can you do
both? The core of the book is the Student Empowerment Session that
has been crafted and refined over fifteen years. This carefully
organized, powerful system of questions has effected dramatic
changes in children's insights about their behavior. The book also
explores topics which include cyberbullying, children with
disabilities, "mean girls," teachers who are bullies, parents who
refuse to accept that their children are bullies, and academic vs.
social emotional learning concerns to help readers change the
culture and banish bully behavior.
