Bullying is a contemporary wildfire of a social problem that
continues to burn, scar, and even kill U.S. schoolchildren on a
daily basis. Not only do the targets of bullying suffer in their
abilities to grow, learn and succeed; so do bystanders, and even
the bullies themselves. Generation BULLIED 2.0 details the nature
of bullying as a tremendously negative force in schools today and
offers practical, research-based strategies for constructing and
cultivating cultures that support learning, safety, and dignity for
everyone. Analyzing the nature and inadequacy of current
anti-bullying policies, Generation BULLIED 2.0 explores how
stereotyping and other negative behaviors are reinforced and
sustained in both large and small ways at school. Its critical
narratives of commonly bullied individuals and groups are
representative of events that transpire every day across the
country's education system. Focusing on the most common targets of
bullying: race, gender, sexual orientation, physical appearance,
physical and mental disability, and cyber-abuse, this book does not
offer simplistic solutions. Instead, it offers empowerment to
readers while providing tools for elevating social justice and
preventing bullying from taking root as a supposedly "normal" part
of life in our society.

Great teaching is not just a matter of talent or creativity or
passion. Teachers are made, not born, and great teachers know why
they do what they do in their classrooms. They do it strategically
and purposefully based on technique. Teach on Purpose! demonstrates
a highquality research-based and practical approach to teaching
that focuses on how to use data about students' identities,
experiences, and knowledge to design responsive curriculum and
instruction that ensures learning. The authors provide secondary
school teachers with scientifically proven strategies for creating
learning environments that increase student motivation, engagement,
and academic achievement. The text features model units authored
and taught by practicing classroom teachers in math, science,
social studies, and language arts to demonstrate key principles
that can be used in any classroom to be a true professional
educator. Teach on Purpose! will show secondary teachers how to:
Respond to diverse learners' needs while also meeting academic
standards across content areas. Help youth actively apply what they
learn to purposes in their lives beyond school. Use information
about students' out-of school knowledge to enhance academic
engagement and motivation to learn. Use evolving technologies to
enhance traditional curriculum. Use multiple media and multimodal
texts to reach students and engage them for success in contemporary
ways.
