The name "Historical Society" or "Historic House" has a bad rap.
Before potential visitors even know your museum, they may assume
it's not for them, even if you lead progressive, inclusive tours
and host innovative programs. If you're part of the leadership team
of a historic house museum or historical society, you may have
considered rebranding -- either renaming your organization or
developing a new look - to be more appealing to a younger, more
diverse audience or to reflect changes to your mission,
interpretation, site, etc. Using examples from museums of all sizes
across the country, this book helps you decide whether to move
forward with a rebranding effort and give you a concrete outline to
work from. The book will help you: -Decide if you should rebrand
(and that you're not just putting lipstick on a pig) -Nitty-gritty
details about how to go about it -How to react when someone says
you're making a huge mistake -How much it will cost and where you
can cut corners -How to evaluate what you've done. Rebranding: A
Guide for Historic Houses, Museums, Sites and Organizations is a
step-by-step guide that helps Executive Directors, Board members,
and staff at history organizations decide if it's time to rebrand
and, if so, how to go about it. The book will guide readers through
the process of deciding if a rebranding is in order, testing ideas,
developing a plan and budget, implementing the launch, and even
handling naysayers. It's an essential guide for anyone rebranding a
history organization.

Facilitating Practitioner Research: Developing transformational
partnerships addresses the complex dilemmas and issues that arise
in practitioner inquiry. It recognises that facilitating
practitioner research is far more than providing advice about
method adoption, important as that contribution is; or even
modelling research practices and drawing attention to appropriate
resources and theories. It also requires the evolution of strong
reciprocal partnerships that will contribute to professional
knowledge formation in both the academy and the field.
When such engagement is undertaken then matters associated with
authentic praxis development for field based and academic
practitioners emerge. The authors explore:
- how praxis, as practice that can always be judged in terms of
what is and what ought to be, can be analysed in terms of
functional and substantive rationality as well as life, world and
system issues.
- how a transformative partnership requires particular
professional attitudes of practitioners and academic
- the underlying potential of practitioner inquiry where agency
is afforded as a democratic principle to all who participate,
including the consequential stakeholders; the students in our
schools and universities.
It draws upon extensive case studies from The Netherlands,
Sweden and Australia which not only illustrate and illuminate, but
also highlight contradictions and tensions. The case studies
exhibit issues related to the quality of the partnerships between
the academy and the field and the ways in which quality impacts
upon practice. Additionally, the varying social geographies allow a
discussion of different intellectual traditions, belief systems,
problem settings, questions, and discourses.
Facilitating Practitioner Research: Developing transformational
partnerships will appeal internationally to academics involved with
practitioner research. It will also prove useful to practitioners
across the education sectors, including researchers, teachers and
those involved in education policy.

The moving story of a Kashmiri boy soldier, from a prize-winning
Irish author. It's an ordinary morning at nine-year-old Rafiq's
school in rural Kashmir when the silence of dawn prayers is ripped
apart by gunfire. Soldiers of the Kashmir Freedom Fighters have
raided the village in search of new recruits - they scrawl a line
in chalk across the schoolroom wall, and any boy whose height
reaches the line will be taken to fight. Rafiq is tall for his age
- the first boy to cross the chalkline into a life of brutality and
terrorism. This is the story of Rafiq's transformation from child
to boy soldier, as he is indoctrinated into the cause of fanatical
belief. But his family have not forgotten him; when he can no
longer recognize himself, they remember the boy he was, and reach
out a hand of redemption as he spirals towards a final act of
atrocity.

find time and space for self-care. With experience, professional
expertise, and text features to aid learning throughout, this book
is the one-stop shop for everyone wanting to truly understand every
aspect of therapeutic parenting and trauma.

Designed as a professional complement to Sarah Naish's bestselling
A-Z of Therapeutic Parenting, this tried and tested resource offers
practical tools for all professionals supporting therapeutic
families. Based on the latest research, and with photocopiable
worksheets, pro formas and charts to use with parents, these tools
will help you to build supportive and stable relationships with
families and reduce family breakdown. The resource is structured
into three parts: 1. The Trauma Tracker Tool - designed to support
the stability of the family and to predict possible incidents by
providing an understanding of the presenting behaviours in the
context of the child's history 2. The Developmental Foundation
Planner - to help professionals to identify and address unmet
developmental needs in a structured way as soon as a child is
placed with a family and thereby help reduce instances of family
breakdown 3. The Behaviour - Assessment of Impact and Resolution
Tool (BAIRT) - which enables practitioners of most levels to engage
in a step by step intervention, breaking down the most complex
behaviours with a problem solving supportive process, thereby
reducing the effects of blocked care and enabling engagement with
parents in an honest, positive process. Simple to use, and easy to
implement, these tools will enable you to create therapeutic,
trauma-informed assessments, intervention and support.
All families of children affected by trauma are on a journey, and
this book will help to guide you and your family on your journey
from trauma to trust. Sarah Naish shares her own experiences of
adopting five siblings. She describes how to use therapeutic
parenting - a deeply nurturing parenting style - to overcome common
challenges when raising children who have experienced trauma. The
book describes a series of difficult episodes for her family,
exploring both parent's and child's experiences of the same events
- with the child's experience written by a former fostered child -
and in doing so reveals the very good reasons why traumatized
children behave as they do. The book explores the misunderstandings
that grow between parents and their children, and provides comfort
to the reader - you are not the only family going through this!
Full of insights from a family and others who have really been
there, this book gives you advice and strategies to help you and
your family thrive.
