Group Analytic Supervision uses group analytic concepts to cast
light on how group supervision works, covering history, theory and
practice. Margaret Gallop and Margaret Smith illustrate the
benefits that supervision can provide for post-qualification group
supervision. This book offers a model of group analytic
supervision, the clinical hexagon, to support supervisors of groups
in thinking about their supervision group and its process. Gallop
and Smith use vignettes to illustrate how supervision groups work
together to broaden and deepen their understanding of their
clients, including examples that demonstrate the benefits of this
multi-perspective approach for therapists providing dyadic therapy.
Group Analytic Supervision addresses several of the key tasks for
supervisors of groups, including establishing and maintaining
boundaries around the work, establishing good working
relationships, working with parallel process, transference and
countertransference. It describes using difference and diversity to
enrich learning and it stresses the importance of self-care. Group
Analytic Supervision will be essential reading for anyone who is
providing group supervision, particularly therapists who undertake
group analytic training. It will also be of great interest to
counsellors and therapists, social workers, probation officers and
healthcare staff who both provide and receive group supervision.

This book is intended to help language teachers to work effectively
and successfully with students who have Specific Learning
Differences (SpLDs). It enables teachers to gain a thorough
understanding of the nature of SpLDs and how these affect both
general learning processes and the mechanisms of second language
acquisition. In addition, the book explores the particular
inclusive methods and techniques of teaching and assessment that
foster success in language learning. Language teaching is embedded
in a wider social and educational context, and therefore the book
also provides an in-depth discussion of general educational issues
related to identifying and disclosing disabilities and to making
transitions from one institution to the other. The content has been
thoroughly updated and revised for the second edition, particularly
in the areas of inclusive pedagogies, new evidence-based methods
and tools for identifying SpLDs, and new conceptualisations of
neurodiversity. The book also includes the latest research on
assessment, transition and progression, and the impact of SpLDs on
additional language learning.

The permanent effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are not
limited to the person who suffers the injury. People who care for
the individual, particularly family members, suffer in various
ways. Family members are often confused as to the behavioral and
neuropsychological changes that they see in a brain-injured rela
tive. They can become frustrated and angry when the individual does
not return to premorbid levels of functioning. They can become
tired and worn down from repeated problems in trying to manage the
individual's difficulties while having only fragmented information
regarding them. Drs. Smith and Godfrey have provided a useful
service for family members by summarizing important
neuropsychological changes associated with TBI and providing
practical guidelines for coping with these problems. While the
neuropsychological problems they describe are not completely
understood, the authors provide a useful description of many of the
neuro behavioral problems seen following TBI in young adults. They
attempt to provide guidelines for family members that have
practical utility in understanding and managing these patients.
Theirs is a cognitive-behavioral approach that can have utility for
this group of individuals. I applaud their efforts to provide
something systematic and practical for family members."
This book is intended to help language teachers to work effectively
and successfully with students who have specific learning
differences (SpLD) such as dyslexia. The book takes an inclusive
and practical approach to language teaching and encourages teachers
to consider the effects that an SpLD could have on a language
learner. It suggests strategies that can be implemented to enable
learners to succeed both in the classroom and in formal assessment.
The book places issues of language teaching for learners with an
SpLD in a broad educational context and, in addition to practical
advice on methodologies and classroom management, also discusses
discourses of the field, the identification of SpLDs and
facilitating progression.
`Browning really comes back to life in the marvellous third volume
of the new Oxford Browning', wrote John Bayley, choosing it as one
of his Books of the Year for 1988. While Volume III included six of
the eight Bells and Pomegranates pamphlets, the present volume
completes the series and includes the most remarkable of all,
Dramatic Romances and Lyrics. Here we find `Pictor Ignotus', `The
Lost Leader', `The Bishop orders his Tomb', `The Laboratory', `The
Boy and the Angel', and the first part of `Saul'. Also included are
Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day and the essay on Shelley. As the Times
Literary Supplement reviewer of the earlier volumes commented,
`readers of a poet like this need all the help they can get; and
Jack and Smith have provided it in abundance.' Each poem is fully
annotated, and accompanied by a detailed introduction which
provides information on the chronology of composition and on
Browning's sources.
Preparing the Next Generation of Oral Historians is an invaluable
resource to educators seeking to bring history alive for students
at all levels. The anthology opens with chapters on the
fundamentals of oral history and its place in the classroom, but
its heart lies in nearly two dozen insightful personal essays by
educators who have successfully incorporated oral history into
their own teaching. Filled with step by step descriptions and
positive student feedback, these chapters offers practical
suggestions on creating curricula, engaging students, gathering
community support, and meeting educational standards. Lanman and
Wendling open each chapter with thoughtful questions that guide
readers, whether unfamiliar with oral history or seeking to refine
their approach, in applying the examples to their own classrooms.
The bibliography of further resources at the anthology's close
provides interested educators with all the information necessary to
transform their lessons and show their students' history's power as
a living force within their own lives and communities.

This book documents the "brave new world" of teacher,
administrator, school, and student accountability that has swept
across the United States in recent years. Its particular vantage
point is the perspective of dozens of new teachers trying to make
their way through their first months and years working in schools
in the New York City metropolitan area. The issues they grapple
with are not, however, unique to this context, but common problems
found today in urban, suburban, and rural schools across the United
States. The stories in this book offer a compelling portrait of
these teachers' encounters with the new culture of accountability
and the strategies they develop for coping, even succeeding, within
such demanding settings.
"Learning to Teach in an Age of Accountability: " *introduces
research on teaching and engages the "big ideas" concerning teacher
research, highlighting what we know and where that leads us;
*offers a rich set of teacher narratives that are organized to
widen the angle of vision from biography, to classrooms, schools,
and society; and
*includes questions and activities to encourage discussion and
further research about the ideas raised; and
*addresses the possibilities for best practice and curricular
decision making in light of the issues and ideas presented in the
book.
This volume--unique in its portrayal of new teachers' encounters
with issues of accountability--makes a singular contribution to the
educational literature on new teachers. It is relevant to everyone
interested in the contemporary world of teaching, and is
particularly appropriate as a text for preservice and in-service
students. All readers who believe that the key to agood school lies
in attracting and keeping good teachers will find the issues
presented here both personally engaging and deeply troubling.

"Gentle reader, may you never feel what I then felt!" Throughout
the hardships of her childhood - spent with a severe aunt and
abusive cousin, and later at the austere Lowood charity school -
Jane Eyre clings to a sense of self-worth, despite of her treatment
from those close to her. At the age of eighteen, sick of her narrow
existence, she seeks work as a governess. The monotony of Jane's
new life at Thornfield Hall is broken up by the arrival of her
peculiar and changeful employer, Mr Rochester. Routine at the
mansion is further disrupted by mysterious incidents that draw the
pair closer together but which, once explained, threaten Jane's
happiness and integrity. A flagship of Victorian fiction, Jane Eyre
draws the reader in by the vigour of Jane's voice and the novel's
forceful depiction of childhood injustice, of the restraints placed
upon women, and the complexities of both faith and passion. The
emotional charge of Jane's story is as strong today as it was more
than 150 years ago, as she seeks dignity and freedom on her own
terms. In this new edition, Juliette Atkinson explores the power of
narrative voice and looks at the striking physicality of the novel,
which is both shocking and romantic.

It encourages students to reflect critically upon the issues in order to develop their understanding of these issues and to consider the implications for their classroom practice.
A blend of theory and counseling techniques, this comprehensive
text provides readers with an overview of several major counseling
theories and their application to substance use disorders and
addiction counseling, along with related techniques and
interventions. Chapters incorporate cutting edge evidenced-based
research on neuroscience, psychological and sociocultural theories
explaining the biopsychosocial influences of substance use
disorders, and examine how substance use disorder risk factors can
be utilized when assessing someone who may have a substance use
disorder. The text additionally helps apply theory to practice,
offering intervention techniques and using accessible case studies.
Throughout the text, highlighted learning opportunities and key
terms further help students to practice and apply the theories,
interventions and techniques that the book discusses. Mental health
professionals, undergraduate and graduate students alike will
benefit from this deft mix of prominent theory, innovative research
and accessible case studies.
Wilma Rudolph was born into a large family and struggled with
health problems for the first several years of her life, including
polio. Though she had trouble even walking, her love of sport and
movement motivated her to rehabilitate her legs. Rudolph would
blossom into athletic talent and after earning a scholarship to
Tennessee State, qualified for the 1960 Olympic Games where she
became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track
and field. Throughout her life, Wilma Rudolph faced many barriers
and yet she was able to overcome the odds to become an Olympic gold
medalist. After hanging up her spikes, Wilma would teach second
grade and coach track at her former high school. This work
describes her life in detail, and includes a timeline of
significant events in her life.

'I am only just returned to a sense of the real world about me, for
I have been reading Villette, a still more wonderful book than Jane
Eyre.' George Eliot Lucy Snowe, in flight from an unhappy past,
leaves England and finds work as a teacher in Madame Beck's school
in 'Villette'. Strongly drawn to the fiery autocratic schoolmaster
Monsieur Paul Emanuel, Lucy is compelled by Madame Beck's jealous
interference to assert her right to love and be loved. Based in
part on Charlotte Bronte's experience in Brussels ten years
earlier, Villette (1853) is a cogent and dramatic exploration of a
woman's response to the challenge of a constricting social
environment. Its deployment of imagery comparable in power to that
of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, and its use of comedy-ironic
or exuberant-in the service of an ultimately sombre vision, make
Villette especially appealing to the modern reader. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
