This revised new edition of The Movement Environment Rating Scale (MOVERS) offers a brand-new method of measuring the quality of environment and pedagogy in which young children are encouraged to move and be physically active. As physical development is a key component of an educational curriculum, MOVERS offers practitioners the opportunity to accurately assess the quality of a child’s physical experiences, and the environmental and pedagogical quality of these experiences. The MOVERS is placed firmly in the family of CLIQRS – Curriculum, Leadership and Interaction Quality Rating Scales; which includes, the Early Childhood Quality Rating Scale – Emergent Curriculum (ECQRS-EC) (Sylva, Siraj, Taggart & Kingston, 2024); the Sustained Shared Thinking and Emotional Well-being Scale (SSTEW) (Siraj, Kingston & Melhuish, 2023) and the Pedagogical Leadership in the Early Years (PLEY) (Siraj & Kingston, 2024) scale, all of which have a similar format to previously mentioned scales, making it easy for educators already familiar with these well-established scales to adopt them and adapt them to their own unique settings. MOVERS has four sub-scales: - Curriculum, environment and resources for physical development - Pedagogy for physical development - Supporting physical activity and critical thinking - Parents/carers and staff This book will be an invaluable tool for research, self-evaluation and improvement, audit and regulation. With additional notes derived using the feedback from extensive use of this resource by practitioners in hundreds of settings and early years specialists around the world, it has also been rigorously updated according to latest research, practice and policy.

After the death of their father, Colleen O'Shea and her sister Kaitlyn are dragged from their home just in time to escape the invading English. Living in hiding chafes at Colleen, however, and when a foolish decision nearly leads to her capture, she must leave her native Ireland in the company of an old family friend. Then another naive choice on her part forces her to flee for her life once again, this time all alone in the hard, unfamiliar world of the Scottish Highlands. It is there, lost and desperate, that Colleen is found by Duncan MacGregor, carried back to the village of this tall, handsome highlander, and given a place to stay. As Colleen starts to adjust to her new life, her defiant nature puts her in constant conflict with Duncan, who has declared himself her guardian. To Colleen's horror, Duncan is more than prepared to take her over his knee for firm chastisement as often as he feels it is necessary, and she discovers that more serious misbehavior will earn her a much more thorough, embarrassing punishment than just a spanking. Nonetheless, Colleen finds that her feelings for Duncan are growing deeper every day, and she longs for him to claim her as his woman and his wife. Duncan has been enamored with Colleen since he first set eyes upon her. Each time he is forced to discipline her he can barely contain his desire to take her and take her hard, but he will not bring a woman to his bed without first making her his wife. When a rival lays claim to her, though, he is forced to act quickly, and he soon finds himself the husband of a beautiful, feisty woman-one who he knows will need both his love and guidance and also quite frequently his firm hand applied to her bare bottom. Publisher's Note: The Highlander's Maiden is a full-length adventure and erotic romance novel that includes both consensual and non-consensual spankings, anal play and punishments, exhibitionism, graphic sexual scenes, and more.

Thirty-four-year-old reporter Lindsay Jeffries is surprised to be told by her editor one day that she must go and see a local debt-management councilor, accountant George West, who is allegedly spanking his clients. Her editor also believes that Lindsay's own debts are so bad that she might benefit from George's advice. Lindsay's job for the story is to bait George into spanking her and thus get proof that he is abusing his position with his clients. At her first session Lindsay certainly gets the spanking she is looking for, but she ends up finding George's firm methods very helpful. She's torn between giving her editor the story he wants, which may in turn secure her the promotion she desires, and accepting George's help, which could turn her life around. Lindsay begins to develop strong feelings for George and begins to wonder what it would be like to have him as much more than just a mentor. But does he have similar feelings for her? How will he feel about her if he finds out her original reason for seeing him? And if she doesn't write the story she is expected to write, will she be able to keep her job? Publisher's Note: Financial Discipline is an erotic novel that includes spankings, anal play, enemas, graphic sex scenes including threesomes, and more.
