Book SynopsisCultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and other Vygotskian approaches are becoming increasingly popular among social scientists interested in studying human actions, thoughts and emotions in their cultural contexts. Building on non-dualist, dialectical materialist epistemological premises, these approaches, however, can pose important challenges to the scholar and the student aiming at first adopting them in their research. What are the concrete, method-related implications of CHAT perspectives for the way we do research in the field? Showcasing the work of well-established as well as emerging CHAT scholars, this volume presents from-the-field insights of non-dualist CHAT methodology for both newcomers and the initiated. Contributors are: Sylvie Barma, Michael Cole, Patricia Dionne, Philip Dupuis-Laflamme, Ritva Engeström, Beth Ferholt, Alfredo Jornet, Isabelle Rioux, Frédéric Saussez, Chris Schuck, Anna Stetsenko, Marie-Caroline Vincent and Samantha Voyer.

Book SynopsisTrauma affects the lives of many children who we teach in school. It effects the students, teachers who teach them, the administration, and the school community as it is part of the school environment and culture. Teachers and administrators have great potential to set up an environment and adopt an attitude that can help heal the trauma in the lives of their students. Schools need to become trauma-informed to be able to provide for the growing number of refugee children who have experienced terrorism, crime, war, and abuse, to better help some Indigenous children who due to systemic racism and discriminatory policies have been traumatised and live daily with trauma, and the growing number of all children who have experienced various kinds of trauma during their life span. Trauma informed schools means that all students can feel safe enough to learn, succeed academically and thrive after having undergone a traumatic event. Trauma Informed Teaching demonstrates how Play Art Narrative (PAN) can be instrumental in creating trauma informed schools. The authors provide play, art, and narrative techniques and activities that educators can use to safely work therapeutically with traumatised children and youth.Trade Review" In this relatively brief book, Wallace and Lewis offer a comprehensive description of the benefits of play, art, and narrative (PAN) as tools for helping children deal with trauma. The first two sections review the theoretical and research background of the PAN curriculum as well as the nature and sources of trauma. The third section provides examples of specific activities to use with the children in helping them deal with the effects of their trauma. Because one of the authors is an art and play therapist, these suggestions are detailed, varied, and useful. The authors specifically review the fight/flight/freeze responses typical of those traumatized as well as examples of teachers’ reactions to children’s classroom behaviors. They also discuss the need for teachers to examine their own experiences and beliefs, in addition to sources of trauma, such as racism, dysfunctional families, crime, terrorism, and war. The analysis overall clearly describes the impact of traumas on cognitive development. Schools need to understand this problem and change their educational techniques to help children find ways to move beyond traumatic experiences and become competent learners and socially functional people." - S.

Book SynopsisThe Silent Selkie describes a character who is unable to communicate in words and whose only way of communicating is through the weather, which leads to disastrous consequences not only for the Selkie, but also for everyone around her. But behind her golden scales, the Selkie hides a secret wound that even she is unaware of, and it is only when the Selkie's skin becomes uncovered by the force of the sea that she remembers the terrible story of what caused her hurt, long ago. Only then can the Selkie come to terms with her wound and begin a journey of healing that will bring her face-to-face with what she has needed all along. Beautifully illustrated and sensitively written, The Silent Selkie deals with the effects of trauma on a young person including hypersensitivity and emotional reactivity.

Built on a solid foundation of research and experience working with schools, Christine Mason and her colleagues offer readers key principles and actionable strategies, stories that illustrate and inspire, exercises to reflect upon and apply lessons to one’s own school, and references to numerous additional online sources. The heart and soul of this book are clear and present on every page—the centrality of caring, compassion, and community to the ability of students to thrive in school. I would highly recommend this book in ordinary times. In this period of uncertainty, unrest, and distress, it is indispensable. -- Mark A. Smylie, Professor EmeritusThis outstanding contribution to the literature on our students′ mental health and well-being provides an exemplary blend of cutting-edge research, step-by-step practical interventions, and a true humanistic vision for the future of our schools and society. Before COVID-19 this book would have been important; today it is indispensable. Wherever you are teaching or working in the education sector, Compassionate School Practices is essential reading for all of us, both during the pandemic and in the years to come. -- Dennis Shirley, Duganne Faculty Fellow and ProfessorAs schools begin to shift away from the industrial model of education, we see many implementing student-centered and inquiry-based practices that are designed to help students develop their curiosity and become more proficient thinkers and problem solvers. While these practices are laudable, the unaddressed mental health needs of many students will stand in the way of desired progress for all. Thankfully, Compassionate School Practices offers an easy-to-follow four-phase model and a series of nine principles to help school personnel, parents, and psychologists better support students’ social and emotional well-being. Simply put, the authors’ approach puts much needed structure into what for many educators may otherwise be just a vague directive. This book’s compassionate voice and sound tools unlock the promise that successful schools going forward will balance students’ acquisition and the demonstration of knowledge with proper attention to their social and emotional needs. -- Jeff Ikler and Kirsten RichertI started my career as a teacher in the New York City neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant where many students came to class hungry, sick, abused, homeless, or all of the above. It was then when I first realized the health and welfare of our students surpasses the importance of their academic achievement. That was 1968. Fast forward to today. Suicides rates are the highest they’ve ever been. Drug use is just as alarming, which begs the question, "What’s more important, scores on a test or keeping kids alive?" Compassionate Schools Practices unpacks a myriad of informative principles that can help school systems build a framework to enhance their social and emotional programs. The well-being of a child is of the utmost importance, especially during this public health crisis. The demand for quality SEL is at an all-time high. I applaud the authors for creating this resource. -- Daniel A. Domenech, Executive DirectorQuality education cannot exist in the absence of compassion. And even if it could, it would be difficult - if not impossible - for such "education" to be applied in a way that would move humanity forward. This book provides a comprehensive and evidence-based blueprint for how to create a heart centered and compassionate school environment that allows all children - especially our most vulnerable - to heal, learn, and thrive. -- Steve Gross, Chief PlaymakerWhen it comes to children′s mental health, school is among the biggest stressors that kids have to deal with. Compassionate Schools Practices is the bridge that we need to redesign the school system in a way to meet the needs of youth. If we are able to implement at least some of the recommendations, all of us stand to substantially benefit! -- Akeem N. Marsh, PsychiatristCompassionate School Practices captures our imagination, with principles and action steps to strengthen student mental health and well-being. The authors offer a practical approach that goes beyond screening and identification as it promotes collective kindness and caring. Their blueprint for schools shows how to embed compassion into everyday interactions between teachers and students to bolster student self-esteem, while strengthening self-care practices. They show us how to uplift our neighbors and our communities so that schools first and foremost address what is most important -- the lives, the hearts, the souls of students, families, and ourselves. An inspirational work that is so needed today! -- Paul Liabenow, Executive DirectorAn important new look at how we can foster mental health in schools. Educators have the capacity to buffer against adversities their students face, and schools can lessen the impact of trauma and toxic stress. At the same time, teachers themselves face unique stressors. Mason, Asby, Wenzel, Volk, and Staeheli present numerous practical suggestions for promoting mental health and well-being among students and teachers alike. -- Kimberly Noble, Professor of Neuroscience & EducationIn the midst of this horrific pandemic, there’s more than learning on the minds of educators. Many youth depend on teachers and their schools to connect with peers and caring adults. Mason and her co-authors provide valuable insights as they tell the story of the New England Childhood-Trauma Learning Collaborative - stories from principals, social workers, teachers and school psychologists, about how they are building student self-esteem and resiliency, and how they are teaching while addressing the critical needs of students who are most at-risk. Whether learning is virtual, hybrid, or in-person, caring leaders will be inspired by the network of practices, guidelines, and resources that Compassionate School Practices provides. An ideal book for book studies, an ideal blueprint for a brighter future, an ideal resource for transforming education and transforming lives! -- Mark Terry, Deputy Executive DirectorThe social and emotional health of students is interdependent with that of teachers and school leaders. But one-size-fits-all or piecemeal programs won′t improve true resilience. Compassionate School Practices provides the tools you need to be intentional about identifying your learning community′s current needs and your capacity to influence, no matter your position. And you′ll discover research-based strategies for self-care, for assessing student needs, for increasing needed staff knowledge--and more--to create the safe and supportive environments that lead to serving and educating the whole child. -- Jane Kise, Ed.D., PrincipalThis publication is a timely contribution to promote child and youth’s social emotional development. It provides a useful ecological framework and specific practices that educators and specialists may incorporate into their daily work. -- Songtian (Tim) Zeng, Assistant ProfessorCompassionate School Practices exemplifies Mason’s expertise in the field of Mindful Education, and creates real-world learning for "whole educators" who truly wish to address social emotional issues with their students. Mindfulness, restorative justice, equity, trauma informed care—it’s all wrapped into a single cohesive message here with practical applications for the modern teacher. This is a book every educator must own. -- Jeffrey DonaldTeaching the facts of mental illness in schools is comparable to teaching students rote math facts without understanding the systems that numbers function in and how this is applied to solve problems. Having basic knowledge of a subject does not lend itself to deeper thinking to promote both individual and systemic growth. Without analyzing our data, identifying areas of need, and altering how we navigate mental illness we will inevitably continue to repeat the same pattern of misunderstanding and inadequate treatment. Compassionate School Practices provides thoughtful exercises to guide your district in identifying specific areas of need, integrating these into your district vision, and developing comprehensive professional development. This is not an expensive initiative that is implemented and forgotten, but rather a process to shift the collective understanding and treatment of mental illness. Building protective measures of resilience and compassion helps to vaccinate your students and staff against complacency and despair that affects generations. -- Rachel Santa, Ed.D * Cumberland School Department *Our schools, our children, our society face a profound moment of reckoning with global pandemic, climate crisis, political polarization, systemic and structural racial and social injustice, and more. These times call for a mindshift of being, thinking, and acting, and that begins with centering compassion, mindfulness, empathy, and kindness within our schools. This book is rich in solid research and practices that supports teaching and learning through mindfulness, trust building, cultivating belonging and awareness, and more. It is a must-read for educators seeking to meet the challenges of our time with evidence-based, equity-centered practices that support growth and learning to heal our school communities and our world. -- Valerie Brown, Leadership CoachThe authors conceive of a heart-centered, compassionate learning community bound together by trusting, safe, authentic relationships that include the child, family, educators and the broader community. Central to their vision is a single caring adult who supports each student, and is embedded in both the school and surrounding community. This approach builds a trauma informed school culture that enhances children’s health and well-being. Their strategy is supported by tools and tips that makes the implementation of this creative vision possible. This visionary book would be transformative and is a must-read for everyone involved in helping children grow and thrive. -- Ellen L. Bassuk, FounderWho better to guide our children’s mental health than our educators? Compassionate School Practices gives a comprehensive blueprint to managing our mental health inadequacies in a 2020 pandemic/post pandemic world. Beyond medical diagnosis and pharmaceutical treatment, the book focuses on our most at-risk and underserved children. I have firsthand experience with a child who has thrived through services provided at school. As a physician who has worked with diverse communities, I recognize how compassionate public schools can be a healing force for vulnerable children. -- Alex ThackerFinally! As crisis after crisis threatens the future of our children, we have a book that outlines specific and deeply researched ways to approach children’s mental health and wellbeing from a truly holistic, heart centered, community-based perspective. Never has the need for inspiration and resources to change the future of education been greater than now. -- Adam Grove, PhysicianCompassionate Schools Practices provides useful tools for confronting the complex nexus of mental health, education and trauma. Importantly, the authors realize that educators cannot pour from an empty glass and must maintain their own well-being in order to effectively support their students in the long term. Mason reassures her audience that while there are aspects of our reality that we may be out of reach for improvement (teacher budgets, state curriculum policies, etc.), there are specific practices and strategies we can implement both on an individual and community level to combat teacher stress and burn out. The suggested resources and insights are invaluable, particularly in this era of wide-spread social instability. -- Norrell Edwards, Assistant DirectorTable of ContentsOnline Resources Foreword Preface Why Is This Book Important Now?

Book SynopsisEvery year, large numbers of American young people who are not terribly interested in attending a four-year college reluctantly enroll anyway, effectively pressured by combinations of parents, peers, teachers, guidance counselors, and the normative air they breathe. More than occasionally, they wind up confirming that collegiate life is not for them and, sooner or later, drop out. From there, again more than occasionally, they find themselves unemployed or underemployed, in big-time student debt, and quite possibly feeling like a failure.Cratered paths like these routinely stunt entries to middle-class jobs and careers. These are often needless delays and losses, because other education and career routes are primed to better serve millions of young men and women, especially those who enjoy working with their hands. Taking advantage of these routes also simultaneously enriches our economy.Digging deeply into issues like these is the book's main aim. Helping teenagers think through what Trade ReviewMitch Pearlstein is correct, a four-year college isn’t for everyone. Every parent who thinks that’s’ true for other people’s kids, but not their own, should read this critically important book. Pearlstein’s data-driven examination shows why current norms and notions that nearly everyone should go to college are recipes for disappointment for millions and serious impediments to economic growth. -- Randy Ahlm, CEO, Imperial Plastics, Inc.Mitch Pearlstein knows how to make a convincing case. This time it is about why we should expose more young Americans to the many educational opportunities and career pathways that exist outside of the traditional four-year college route. -- Robert Doar, former commissioner for human services in both New York City and New York StateIt’s a miracle that such an important book is also such a joy to read. It is the key to improving millions of lives, financially and in terms of self-respect, and to strengthening our country as well. Pearlstein sees a major crisis that has been overlooked for far too long. And he tells us, wisely, how to overcome it. His message is brilliant—and urgent. -- David Lebedoff, author, "The Uncivil War"; founder, SwanStaff, a company helping those without four-year-degrees to achieve highly rewarding careersMitch Pearlstein is on to something very important: college education is not for everyone--but everyone should enter adulthood with a skill that can earn them a decent income, and help them support a family. If we are serious about making America into a country of prosperity for all, we need to give a serious listen to what Mitch has to say. -- Nicholas Eberstadt, American Enterprise InstituteMitch Pearlstein has penned a timely and very useful book about why many now find college to be more obstacle than opportunity. Notably, in an era when many are quick to demonize higher education or rush to its defense, he manages to do neither. Instead, he thoughtfully examines the landscape, suggest practical options, and sketches a promising path forward. -- Frederick Hess, author of Letters to a Young Education Reformer; director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise InstituteTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Chapter 1: The Four-Year College Bias Chapter 2: Underemployed Paths to Great Jobs Chapter 3: The Growing Power of Debt Chapter 4: Potential Economic Detours Chapter 5: Potential Social Detours Chapter 6: The Art of Craft Chapter 7: Conclusion Index About the Author

Trauma Informed aims to create increased therapeutic and empathetic understanding of adolescents and their traumas. Part One addresses four types of trauma - acute, chronic, complex, and historic or transgenerational - through a series of case studies. The author uses the voice of the teen, the voice of the parent or carer and the voice of the educator to present each case in detail, complete with suggested interventions. Part Two focuses on simplifying therapeutic concepts such as attachment theory and the stages of grief, and the final chapter offers strategies for ongoing management in the form of a 'trauma toolbox'. This comprises grounding techniques for calming down or boosting energy, advice for self-care via good sleep and nutrition, and guidance for enabling troubled young people to feel secure, open up and begin the healing process by cultivating an attitude of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy).

Book SynopsisPart of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and at school, Building Wellbeing and Resilience offers a complete introduction to these critical yet frequently misunderstood topics. Often confused with mental health or physical wellness, wellbeing fuses aspects of both and wider elements into a general sense of 'how we are'. Resilience, meanwhile, is the ability to deal with adversity and move forward. High wellbeing fosters resilience and, in a virtuous circle, resilience is linked to high levels of wellbeing. Exploring these topics along with related issues such as measuring wellbeing, using positive psychology approaches to boost strengths and the impact of neurodiversity, Rob Long considers the importance and impact of wellbeing and resilience at home and in the classroom - and how parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.Table of ContentsSeries Preface; About the Author; Author's Preface; How to Use This Book Part 1: Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisEste marco pretende apoyar el aprendizaje mutuo para la adaptación y expansión de modelos exitosos de alimentación escolar con productos locales (AEPL). Los principales objetivos son aclarar los conceptos, el alcance y los objetivos de los programas de alimentación escolar con productos locales; armonizar los materiales existentes; y proporcionar una referencia técnica a los gobiernos para apoyar el diseño, la implementación y la ampliación de programas de alimentación escolar con productos locales eficaces, eficientes y sostenibles. Se han probado y aplicado con éxito varios enfoques innovadores de AEPL en diversos contextos nacionales en diferentes etapas del ciclo de programación y ejecución. Sin embargo, muchos programas de AEPL se han enfrentado a barreras financieras, institucionales y tecnológicas que han limitado su reproducción. Por lo tanto, es necesario un enfoque proactivo de la innovación y el aprendizaje para adaptar y ampliar los programas exitosos existentes.En el contexto de los esfuerzos colectivos para lograr la Agenda 2030 –incluyendo el desarrollo del capital humano para promover un crecimiento económico sostenible e inclusivo y ofrecer resultados tangibles en la educación y el desarrollo de la infancia, así como la cobertura sanitaria universal– los programas de AEPL pueden contribuir de manera significativa a la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en materia de agricultura, seguridad alimentaria, nutrición, educación y salud.
