Educators, parents, and those who work with middle school students
in various settings will find this book to be a valuable addition
to their library. Early adolescence is a time of tremendous change
with the potential for positive development in the academic,
social, and emotional domains; yet, often this age group struggles
to adjust to the transition of middle school and the tasks that are

germane to positive development. These include social and emotional
development, current research on the adolescent brain, and the
academic challenges of entering middle school. There are also
chapters on contemporary issues such as bullying, social media, and
inclusive leadership. Parents will find suggestions for how to
support their middle school child, and educators will discover a
wealth of best practices to incorporate into their interactions
with early adolescents and their families.

administrators, student services personnel, higher education
faculty, and students studying education and psychology. Mainly
though, this is a book for those who are committed to seeing all
boys grow and thrive while avoiding what has been termed as toxic
male culture in this, and other, countries. While this book largely
focuses on understanding the roles that schooling and upbringing
play on boys’ development, it explores this complex topic with a
clear belief that there are myriad factors that influence each
boy’s developmental trajectory and that there are many ways to
promote healthy, prosocial development among all young men.

and best practices for promoting student health and well-being. It

The Soul of the Schoolhouse: Cultivating Student Engagement's

of education and the techniques that skilled educators use to
enhance the learning process; such information is contained in
chapters on motivation and models of thinking about how to engage
those in our schools. This tome also reflects the essential and
interrelated nature of emotional, social, spiritual, and relational
elements of engagement in the learning process. As such, chapters
of this book cover such topics as educational leadership for
engaged learning, school-community connections, co-curricular
activities, models of curriculum design, and school law and
policies that bolster student learning, as well.

From Floundering to Fluent: Reaching and Teaching Struggling
Readers was written for educational practitioners and specialists,
particularly classroom teachers and school administrators, as well
as family and community members who are firmly committed to the
reading development and academic success of all students, but
particularly those who struggle with the act of reading. This book
primarily focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of the kinds of
difficulties that can attend the reading process, especially for
at-risk readers and those with reading disabilities.
Beyond the Bedtime Story: Understanding and Promoting Reading
Development During the Middle School Years was written for
educators, parents, and all who care about promoting the reading
development of middle school students. The book fills a much-needed
void in scholarly literature by considering the unique
developmental nature of early adolescence. Although the authors
highlight many of the challenges with promoting reading achievement
during the middle school transition years, their hope is that this
user-friendly book will suggest ways that reading can remain a
critical part of middle school students' lives, both in and out of
school, so that we can create a nation of life-long readers. This
book also encourages practitioners and family members to accept the
challenge of creatively engaging reluctant readers so that all
middle school students will share in the literacy legacy begun in
preschools and elementary schools and offers practical strategies
to build this legacy.

Contemporary society has imposed a set of unrealistic and confusing
rules for men over 18 to follow. With post-adolescent men
experiencing lower rates of academic success at the post-secondary
level and escalating rates of violence perpetrated by this age
group, jobs, careers and life itself are in crisis. These men in
transition have emotional, social, academic, and career struggles
that affect every aspect of their lives. Masculinity in the Making:
Managing the Transition to Manhood; therefore, will examine these
issues and offer strategies and examples of what is possible for
the post-adolescent male; more specifically, attention will be paid
to theories and health issues specific to this population, social
and cultural issues, academic and career interventions, aggression
and violence, and media portrayals. The reader will be left with a
deep and clear understanding of the needs of men as well as how
mentoring and counseling can provide them with the support needed
to be successful and productive members of society.
