Secondary schools are continually faced with the task of preparing students for a world that is more connected, advanced, and globalized than ever before. In order to adequately prepare students for their future, educators must provide them with strong reading and writing skills, as well as the ability to understand scientific concepts. The Handbook of Research on Science Literacy Integration in Classroom Environments is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the importance of cross-curriculum/discipline connections in improving student understanding and education. While highlighting topics such as curriculum integration, online learning, and instructional coaching, this publication explores practices in teaching students how to analyze and interpret data, as well as reading, writing, and speaking. This book is ideally designed for teachers, graduate-level students, academicians, instructional designers, administrators, and education researchers seeking current research on science literacy adoption in contemporary classrooms.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone - but, for some, existing social inequalities were exacerbated, and this created a vital need for research. Researchers found themselves operating in a new and difficult context; they needed to act quickly and think collectively to embark on new research despite the constraints of the pandemic. This book presents the collaborative process of 14 research projects working together during COVID-19. It documents their findings and explains how researchers in the voluntary sector and academia responded methodologically, practically, and ethically to researching poverty and everyday life for families on low incomes during the pandemic. This book synthesises the challenges of researching during COVID-19 to improve future policy and practice. Also see 'A Year Like No Other: Family Life on a Low Income in COVID-19' to find out more about the lived experiences of low-income families during the pandemic.

Rev. Ben Jennings of Campus Crusade for Christ Prayer Team writes: "Have you ever wondered how you will think and feel if you get cancer? Laura Robertson gives you an experiential perspective in her diary from those very days in her life. This book is full of guideline material that she found to be victoriously helpful in her adventure with that dreaded disease. She found Jesus Christ to be, indeed, her Great Physician." "When the specialist confirmed the diagnosis of uterine cancer, and prescribed surgery with an uncertain outcome, Laura and her husband unknowingly had the same thought: God is still in charge and this does not change the number of her days." This faith was a product of many years of struggle and practice. When Laura began to express their faith in her almost daily e-mails to family and friends the response was immediate and almost universal: This is so encouraging, you need to put it in a book." So she did. This is both Laura's journey through cancer and her praise and thanksgiving to a great and wonderful Lord and Savior.
