Many educators and researchers view the Common Core State Standards
as very high standards for schools to achieve. In truth, the
standards are the basic standards for the 21st Century. Educators,
at every school, need to learn how to redesign their curriculum and
their instructional strategies so that the common core state
standards are absorbed into the local curriculum. Inside the
authors discuss: " How to merge the Common Core State Standards and
local curriculum in English Language Arts and Mathematics " The
challenges that educators face at local schools and in their
communities " A way for school district and school leaders to take
advantage of the diversity among faculty, parents and students to
differentiate instruction and achieve higher levels of mastery for
all students " Multicultural issues, school improvement systems and
public policy changes that must be addressed This book provides
practical advice, examples, and design considerations that are
modifiable for any culture, school, or district that is serious
about being part of the new age of American achievement and
prosperity.
This volume contains protocols specifically designed for studying
programmed cell death, and also discusses recent advances in
techniques that span broader areas of biology that have been

This book examines the role of race in athletic programs in the
United States. Intercollegiate athletics remains a contested
terrain where race and racism are critical issues often absent in
the public discourse. Recently, the economic motives of
intercollegiate athletic programs and academic indiscretions have
unveiled behaviors that stand to tarnish the images of institutions
of higher education and reinforce racial stereotypes about the
intellectual inabilities of Black males. Through the lens of
Critical Race Theory (CRT), this volume analyzes sport as the
platform that reflects and reinforces ideas about race within
American culture, as well as the platform where resistance is
forged against dominant racial ideologies.

In Sports and the Racial Divide, Volume II: A Legacy of African
American Athletic Activism, Michael E. Lomax and Billy J. Hawkins
draw together essays that examine evolving attitudes about race,
sports, and athletic activism in the US. A follow-up to Lomax’s
Sports and the Racial Divide: African American and Latino
Experience in an Era of Change, this second anthology links
post–World War II African American protest movements to a range
of contemporary social justice interventions. Athlete activists
have joined the ongoing pursuit for Black liberation and
self-determination in a number of ways. Contributors examine some
of these efforts, including the fight for HBCUs to enter the NCAA
basketball tournament; Harry Edwards and the boycott of the 1968
Olympic Games; and US sporting culture in the post-9/11 era. Essays
also detail topics like the protest efforts of San Francisco 49ers
quarterback Colin Kaepernick; the link between the Black Power
movement and the current Black Lives Matter movement; and the
activism of athletes like Lebron James and Naomi Osaka.
Collectively, these essays reveal a historical narrative in which
African Americans have transformed the currency of athletic
achievement into impactful political capital.
Designing School Systems for All Students provides a clear
methodology for school leaders, teachers, and school board members
to follow as they redesign their schools for the benefit of
students. The authors demonstrate how school leaders set the
expectations for all students to learn and grow as important
contributors to the culture. In the effective schools that the
authors describe, students deliver performances, discuss and
conduct important inquiries, and lead profound learning activities.
The book explains how curriculum can be redesigned to engage
students in advanced cognitive and social and emotional
development. Additionally, several barriers to great schools that
include assessment practices, false testing procedures, poor
governance, ineffective leadership and staff development are
described in stark detail. Throughout the book are examples of
effective practices that make it possible for all students to
prosper in school. This book is filled with practical ideas that
are compiled into a toolkit to fix America's schools.
Much of contemporary scholarship on fathers comes from a deficit
model, focusing on men's inadequacies as parents. This edited
volume assembles a group of prominent scholars who go beyond a
deficit model of fatherhood to what the editors call a generative
fathering perspective. The generative fathering approach, inspired
by the developmental theories of Erik Erikson and building on the
pioneering research of John Snary, sees the work fathers do for
their children in terms of caring for and contributing to the life
of the next generation. The editors describe generative fathering,
placing it in contrast to the role-inadequacy perspective of
fatherhood. Contributors then elaborate on generative fathering in
terms of gender, ethnicity, and historical perspectives and present
research that helps us understand generative fathering in
challenging life circumstances, such as special-needs children,
teenage fathering, and divorce and remarriage. Applications for the
generative fathering perspective are presented in terms of family
life education, clinical work, and scholarly discourse. The editors
conclude the volume with a chapter on ways to teach about
generative fathering in college courses. Supported by both
qualitative and quantitative research, this book goes beyond the
frequent identification of fathers as primarily absent, abusive,
deadbeat, deficient, or unnecessary, and helps us to understand
fathers as men working to build caring bridges across generations.
The effect of manmade activities is primarily local but can extend
far away from the location of intervention. This underlines the
importance of establishing coastal zone management plans covering
large stretches of coastlines.
In recent years, interest in Low Crested Structures (coastal
defense structures with a low-crest) has been growing together with
awareness of the sensitivity to environmental impacts produced by
coastal defenses.
The relation between wave climate, beach erosion, beach defence
means, habitat changes and beach value, which clearly exists based
on EC research results, suggests the necessity of an integrated
approach when designing coastal protection schemes. In accordance
with this need, the present design guidelines cover structure
stability and construction problems, hydro and morphodynamic
effects, environmental effects (colonisation of the structure and
water quality), societal and economic impacts (recreational
benefits, swimming safety, beach quality).
Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structures
is specifically dedicated to Low Crested Structures, and provides
methodological tools both for the engineering design of structures
and for the prediction of performance and environmental impacts of
such structures. A briefing of current best practice for local and
national planning authorities, statutory agencies and other
stakeholders in the coastal zone is also covered.
Presented in a generic way, this book is appropriate throughout the
European Union, taking into account current European Commission
policy and directives for the promotion of sustainable development
and integrated coastal zone management.
* Fills the gap between engineering and ecology in coastal defense
planning
* Shows the reader how to perform an integrated design of coastal
defense schemes
* Presents latest insights on hydro-morphodynamics induced by
structures
* Provides directly applicable tools for the design of low crested
structures
