Sounding the Alarm in the Schoolhouse: Safety, Security, and
Student Well-Being was written as a resource guide for educational
and mental health professionals and policymakers, as well as
families and communities seeking to develop programming to reduce
school violence and promote safe, engaging, and effective schools.
This book explores the growing crisis in school safety and security
through the lens of the roles that mental health and student and
community well-being play in creating environments that are
resistant to violent and antisocial behavior. The book gives
practical information and research on school, classroom or
community applications, the latest trends and issues in the field,
and best practices for promoting student health and well-being. It
also covers violence prevention measures and protocols to follow in
crisis intervention situations. Issues of culture, gender and
society are specifically addressed.
The Soul of the Schoolhouse: Cultivating Student Engagement's
primary focus is to help readers understand the many, diverse
factors that make up engaged learning and students' motivation to
learn. The authors acknowledge the importance of cognitive aspects
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.

Ask teachers why they have pursued a career in education and they
are likely to mention a strong desire to make a difference in the
lives of children or suggest that teaching was a calling not just a
job. Research shows that in addition to these reasons, teachers
also indicated that they joined the academic ranks to share a deep
interest in a particular subject area, to work with students of
different backgrounds and abilities, or to engage students in
creative ways. For these reasons, and many more, Guardians of the
Next Generation: Igniting the Passion for High Quality Teaching,
addresses the very heart of what helps teachers to make learning
meaningful to children.
