Assessing Competencies for Social and Emotional Learning explores the conceptualization, development, and application of assessments of competencies and contextual factors related to social and emotional learning (SEL). As programs designed to teach students social and emotional competencies are being adopted at an ever-increasing rate, new measurements are needed to understand their impact on student attitudes, behaviors, and academic performance. This book integrates standards of fairness, reliability, and validity, and lessons learned from personality and attitude assessment to facilitate the principled development and use of SEL assessments. Education professionals, assessment developers, and researchers will be better prepared to systematically develop and evaluate measures of social and emotional competencies.

Measuring the spin distribution of supermassive black holes is of critical importance for understanding how these black holes and their host galaxies form and evolve over time, yet this type of study is only in its infancy. This brief describes how astronomers measure spin in supermassive black holes using X-ray spectroscopy. It also reviews the constraints that have been placed on the spin distribution in local, bright active galaxies over the past six years, and the cosmological implications of these constraints. Finally, it summarizes the open questions that remain in this exciting new field of research and points toward future discoveries soon to be made by the next generation of space-based observatories.

This book explores current research on young children's beliefs and knowledge about the biological world - otherwise known as 'folkbiology'. Contributors discuss factors that shape the development of folkbiological knowledge, as well as possible interventions designed to counteract cognitive biases that can interfere with the development of scientifically informed reasoning about natural phenomena. Taken together, the papers provide insights into the contributions of cognitive biases to the development of biological misunderstandings and into the life experiences and contexts that can contribute to or impede accurate learning of biological concepts. As part of a wider literature, the insights provided by the authors are relevant to the design of educational experiences that will foster children's exploration and further their understanding of life science ideas. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Early Education and Development.

This completely revised new edition not only interweaves updates and refinements throughout but also adds two entirely new chapters, on Jonah, Job, and Daniel; and on the Psalms. As was true of the first edition, God's Healing Strategy, Revised Edition, portrays God's persevering love as the heart of the Bible's message. Without losing sight of the details, this short but thorough book identifies God's healing love as the central theme of the Bible and challenges Christians to let that love shape lives today. Lynn Jost, Vice President and Dean of Fresno Biblical Seminary, says that "The revisions are spot-on for contemporary issues. How do Christian believers relate to other faiths? Where is God when life falls apart? The Bible wrestles with those questions without pat answers. This book puts us in touch with that biblical struggle." Commenting on the first edition, Douglas B. Miller, Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Tabor College, observes that "Grimsrud has written an excellent introduction to the Bible from an Anabaptist/liberationist perspective. The studied breadth and depth of the book make it ideal as an introductory high school or college text or for use in adult Christian education."
