Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Colleges Worth Your Money
Book SynopsisUnlike existing college guidebooks, which contain easy-to-Google admissions statistics and anecdotal generalizations about campus life, Colleges Worth Your Money reveals where graduates work, salaries, grad school acceptances, internships and research opportunities, career services ratings, and data-rich, school-specific admissions strategies. Trade ReviewPrevious edition praise: A top guide to higher education choices, Belasco’s book is a succinct, affordable, and highly readable resource to suit the individual student looking for the perfect collegiate match. Candid summations identify the most sports- and Greek-crazy campuses and the prime majors for academic depth and future earnings. Coverage of student aid, counseling and recruiting services, top employers, and retention rates point high school seniors and transfer students to the best deals. Tidbits of data—the high crime rate around Wake Forest University, Notre Dame’s Catholic background, Yale’s music and drama opportunities, Memphis biking lanes, immense enrollment of the University of Washington at Seattle, progressive perspective of Oberlin College—enlighten families to peripheral aspects of campus life. Lacking from overviews are details of gender safety programs, especially the size of security forces. A superb choice for high school libraries and counseling offices, homeschoolers, and public libraries.YA/Curriculum Support: College-bound teens will find well-presented information to help inform their decisions * Booklist *Table of ContentsIntroduction & MethodologyAgnes Scott College American University Amherst CollegeArizona State UniversityBabson College Bard CollegeBarnard CollegeBaruch College (CUNY)Bates CollegeBaylor UniversityBentley UniversityBerea CollegeBinghamton University (SUNY)Boston CollegeBoston UniversityBowdoin CollegeBrandeis UniversityBrigham Young University Brown University Bryn Mawr CollegeBucknell UniversityCalifornia Institute of TechnologyCalifornia Polytechnic Institute, San Luis ObispoCarleton College Carnegie Mellon UniversityCase Western Reserve UniversityCentre CollegeClaremont McKenna College Clark UniversityClarkson University Clemson UniversityColby CollegeColgate UniversityThe College of New JerseyCollege of the Holy CrossThe College of WoosterCollege of William & Mary Colorado College Colorado School of MinesColumbia UniversityConnecticut CollegeThe Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and ArtCornell University Dartmouth CollegeDavidson CollegeDenison UniversityDePauw UniversityDickinson CollegeDrexel UniversityDuke UniversityElon University Emerson CollegeEmory UniversityFairfield University Florida State University Fordham UniversityFranklin & Marshall CollegeFranklin W.

University of Massachusetts Press Cutting and the Pedagogy of Self-disclosure
Book SynopsisThis is a candid look at a form of self-injury that is increasingly prevalent but rarely discussed. Cutting, a form of self-mutilation, is a growing problem in the United States, especially among adolescent females. It is regarded as self-destructive behavior, yet paradoxically, people who cut themselves generally do not wish to die but to find relief from unbearable psychological pain. ""Cutting and the Pedagogy of Self-Disclosure"" is the first book to explore how college students write about their experiences as cutters. The idea behind the book arose when Patricia Hatch Wallace, a high school English teacher, wrote a reader-response diary for a graduate course taught by Professor Jeffrey Berman in which she revealed for the first time that she had cut herself twenty years earlier. At Berman's suggestion, Wallace wrote her Master's thesis on cutting. Not long after she finished her thesis, two students in Berman's expository writing course revealed their own experiences as cutters. Their disclosures encouraged several students in another writing class to share their own cutting stories with classmates. Realizing that so many students were writing about the same phenomenon, Berman and Wallace decided to write a book about a subject that is rarely discussed inside or outside the classroom. In Part 1, Wallace discusses clinical and theoretical aspects of cutting and then applies these insights to several memoirs and novels, including Susanna Kaysen's ""Girl"", ""Interrupted"", Caroline Kettlewell's ""Skin Game"", and Patricia McCormick's ""Cut"". The motivation behind Wallace's research was the desire to learn more about herself, and she reads these stories through her own experience as a cutter. In Part 2, Berman focuses on the pedagogical dynamics of cutting: how undergraduate students write about cutting, how their writings affect classmates and teachers, and how students who cut themselves can educate everyone in the classroom about a problem that has personal, psychological, cultural, and educational significance.Trade ReviewIn addition to its broad appeal to educators, this book will also be of great interest to all people interested in educational issues - students, parents, and administrators. It should join Professor Berman's other books as foundational texts for those educators who wish to help students to mature in literary proficiency and their own emotional growth. - Marvin Krims, M.D., lecturer in psychiatry, Harvard Medical School ""A sensitive and, at times, gripping discussion of an issue not discussed in educational literature.... The book is personal, written with sensitivity and a great deal of hope that thinking and writing about self-destructive behaviors in educational settings allow for catharsis and self-insight."" - Deborah Britzman, author of Novel Education: Psychoanalytic Studies of Learning and Not Learning.

Book Synopsis'It was hard in the beginning; I didn't think I was going to like it' - Student. 'This ain't even a real school, man. This is for discipline' - Student. 'I want to go to college and become a paramedic' - Student. 'Know what you learn in this program? You learn to suck up' - student. 'The school district would not like what I'm doing here, but I think these kids need it' - History teacher. 'This is my real ministry' - Community liaison. These are only some of the voices in Law and Order and School, Shira Birnbaum's riveting study of an education and rehabilitation program for troubled teenagers in a Southern city. Locally acclaimed as one of the better programs of its kind in the region, "Academy" exemplifies a new kind of institution, providing transitional school services under contract with both educational and juvenile justice agencies. Birnbaum's narrative focuses on curriculum, teaching, behavior management, and the social organization and culture of the program, offering a close-up view of the everyday classroom interactions that frame student achievement and, ultimately, program outcomes. What do students learn? What do teachers teach? What educational and rehabilitative goals are embedded in official and unofficial policy? What processes inside and outside the building help or hinder the attainment of those goals? As educational and justice agencies look increasingly to private subcontractors to deliver an array of services and growing numbers of young people are channeled into non-traditional educational settings and correctional institutions, it is imperative that educators and the general public understand how these institutions work and what problems their students and staffs encounter. This on-the-ground examination of education within the juvenile justice system will open your eyes to how we educate some of our neediest children. Author note: Shira Birnbaum is an educational consultant working in New York and New Jersey.Trade Review"Shira Birnbaum's brilliant new book, Law and Order and School, offers an insider's look at an educational institution for troubled teenagers. It is a work of careful and thoughtful scholarship, yet its ethnographic approach makes it read like a novel as the students and teachers come alive and you see inside the 'Academy' with them. While the book's strength is its in-depth look at this institution, it provides a recognizably authentic picture of what is being faced throughout our nation, and how, in the best of our programs, with idealistic and mostly very competent teachers, we too often still fail our troubled youth. This should be required reading for anyone studying or working with the juvenile justice system and for all of us concerned with the problem." --Steven J. Klees, University of Maryland "Law and Order and School is well written and informs readers about an institution that most of us know nothing about. It is extremely rich in detail and includes many scenes and conversations that bring the 'Academy' to life. The stories of the students and teachers are presented respectfully. With the accelerating privatization of both the educational and penal systems, this book is especially important at this time." --Doreen J. Mattingly, Associate Professor of Women's Studies and Geography, San Diego State University "Law and Order and School is a gripping and compelling story. In this ethnographic study of the 'Academy,' Birnbaum lets the story tell itself, without hand-wringing or sermonizing, without stating the obvious, and without upstaging the material. This is in every respect a model of what good writing should be: carefully conceived, theoretically informed and rich in insight, yet unburdened by pretense or jargon. The result is both a beautifully rendered, and a heart-rending, story told in page-turning style." --Robert Lake, Center for Urban Policy Research, Rutgers UniversityTable of Contents1.

Astra Publishing House My School in the Rain Forest: How Children Attend
Book SynopsisAt a school that sits on the edge of the Sahara, students are learning to speak English from a teacher who stands in front of a Webcam in North America. These students are learning in a virtual classroom. In another part of the world, kids aren't waiting to ride the bus to school—they are waiting to hop in a boat that will take them to a school that floats on a river. And some kids don't mind heights, especially those who attend a school on the slope of a mountain in the Himalayas, in one of the most remote corners of the earth. Margriet Ruurs contacted teachers and volunteers, many of whom took cameras in hand to photograph their schools and students. In this lively photo-essay, readers get to know students—from the arid plains of southern Afghanistan to the rain forests of Guatemala—who are pursuing their dreams of a brighter future.Trade Review"Accessible and inspiring. . . . Impressive in scope. . . . An excellent choice for the classroom and a strong introduction to such topics as global diversity and the importance of education." —Kirkus Reviews"Gives a good sense of the vastly different educational experiences of children around the world." —Booklist

Book SynopsisAn up to date overview of one of the longest-running home visiting programs, emphasizing school readiness and early literacy in infants and toddlersTrade Review"Messages From Home is a fascinating book, documenting this important program from the inspiration and the needs it meets to the nuts and bolts of the ethical issues it raises." Marsha Weinraub, Laura H. Carnell Professor, Chair of the Psychology Department at Temple University, and investigator on the NICHD Study of Early Child Care "Messages from Home is an important resource for those interested in child development and education. For researchers and for those who are beginning their careers in research, it demonstrates what can be learned through a well-thought out and well-conducted longitudinal investigation. Further, it provides insights about how Phyllis Levenstein and her colleagues grappled with issues of randomization, adequacy of research measures, fidelity of implementation, and the ethics of working with families. For practitioners and others who might want to replicate the Parent-Home Program, there is enough detail provided to make that decision. Finally, policy makers can learn about a very low cost intervention that has had a long-term impact on children who are at risk for educational disadvantage and their families."
