With Doing Poorly on Purpose, veteran educator James R. Delisle
dispels the negative associations and stereotypes connected to
underachievement. By focusing on smart kids who get poor grades not
because they're unable to do better in school but because they
don't want to Delisle presents a snapshot of underachievement that
may look far different from what you envision it to be. There is no
such thing as a ""classic underachiever."" Students (and their
reasons for underachieving) are influenced by a wide range of
factors, including self-image, self-concept, social-emotional
relationships, and the amount of dignity teachers afford their
students. Helping ""smart"" students achieve when they don't want
to is not an easy task, but you can reengage and inspire students
using Delisle's insights and practical advice on these topics:
Autonomy. Access. Advocacy. Alternatives. Aspirations. Approachable
Educators. Smart, underachieving students need the reassurance that
they are capable, valuable, and worth listening to despite their
low academic performance. If these students who are otherwise
academically capable don't feel they are getting respect from those
in charge of their learning, then the desire to conform and achieve
is minimized. In a word, they want dignity. Don't we all? This book
is a joint publication of ASCD and Free Spirit Publishing.

Examining the past, current, and potential future roles of the
Communist Party in governing China The Chinese Communist Party and
its polices touch nearly every aspect of life in China and dominate
some. An often-quoted current phrase-one with roots in the era of
Mao Zedong-says "the Party leads all." Under the leadership of Xi
Jinping, the Party determines much of what is permitted and
prohibited in the country's social, economic, and political
activity, as well as China's increasingly consequential foreign
relations. Even so, the Communist Party always has faced limits on
what it can control, and it may encounter new obstacles ahead. This
book addresses important questions about the current and future
roles of the party: Has Xi's tenure brought a qualitative increase
in the pursuit, or achievement, of party control? How is party rule
shaped and exercised by internal party dynamics, the party's
control over the state, society, economy, foreign affairs,
government institutions and rules, and ideology? How serious are
the threats to party strength and success posed by Xi's approach to
power, corruption in the party's ranks, a rapidly changing society,
a fraught international environment, or a possibly overly ambitious
agenda for party control? Leading scholars examine these questions
from several disciplinary perspectives, each focusing on a key area
of the party and its efforts to lead, control, or influence the
world around it. This book offers the most comprehensive and
up-to-date assessment of the party's roles in China's economy,
government, civil society, legal system, military affairs, and
foreign policy. It does so at a critical moment, with the full
contours of the Xi Jinping era in China becoming more evident and
as the CCP reaches its 100th anniversary and nears three-quarters
of a century in power. It will be essential reading for all
scholars, students, and policy-makers interested in contemporary
China.
