MIT Press Ltd Nightwork A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT
Book SynopsisA lively introduction to MIT hacks, from the police car on the Great Dome to the abduction of the Caltech cannon.An MIT hack is an ingenious, benign, and anonymous prank or practical joke, often requiring engineering or scientific expertise and often pulled off under cover of darkness—instances of campus mischief sometimes coinciding with April Fool's Day, final exams, or commencement. (It should not be confused with the sometimes non-benign phenomenon of computer hacking.) Noteworthy MIT hacks over the years include the legendary Harvard-Yale Football Game Hack (when a weather balloon emblazoned “MIT” popped out of the ground near the 50-yard line), the campus police car found perched on the Great Dome, the apparent disappearance of the Institute president's office, and a faux cathedral (complete with stained glass windows, organ, and wedding ceremony) in a lobby. Hacks are by their nature ephemeral, although they live on in the memory of both perpetrators

Cambridge Scholars Publishing Enriching the Lives of Children
Book SynopsisEnriching the Lives of Children is an exploration of innovations in teaching and learning. The book reflects scholarship, synthesis and creativity as the author reviews decades of research and practice on educational and instructional reforms designed to enrich learning and life for children, through novel and stimulating experiences.Trade Review“International comparisons, national test scores and parental anecdotes all indicate the same thing: America’s educational system is stagnating. And that stagnation threatens our ability to compete globally. In Enriching the Lives of Children, Dr. Rosalyn King gives us a much needed starting point for talking about what’s needed to elevate our approach to teaching.”—Glenn DuBois, Ph.D., Chancellor, Virginia’s Community Colleges“Pendulum swings in education are sometimes hard to see until after they have swung. Rosalyn King detects that there may, finally, be the beginning of a swing back from the grim pursuit of higher test scores to a more balanced, humane, and vital approach to education emphasizing creative learning and exploration. Professor King samples theory and research widely, including new brain research, and summarizes numerous exciting, stimulating programs from around the world for students of all ages. Truth be told, Professor King is pushing that pendulum for all she's worth, and one can only hope she succeeds in reversing momentum; the children of the world are counting on it.”—David Henry Feldman, Ph.D., Professor, Tufts University, Author: Beyond Universals in Cognitive Development"Dr. Rosalyn King has provided the educational community with a pedagogical and insightful approach to enriching the lives of students. Both professors and their students will find her book extremely useful and practical when teaching or learning how to teach. I am very excited to have such a powerful resource to recommend to other professionals."—Catherine Stower, Ph.D., NCC, LMHC, Headmaster, Academy Schools, WA“This is an excellent guide for teachers and educators of teachers who seek to nurture children's full possibilities. During a period of extensive testing which narrows our vision of human potential and of the teacher's role, Dr. Rosalyn King opens the vistas for whole child development, validating varied approaches, enriching strategies, and multipleexperiences. Her book expands our thinking about dynamic modes of fostering learning.”—Susan Riemer Sacks, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology, Barnard College, Columbia University

Guilford Publications Integrated MultiTiered Systems of Support
Book SynopsisMany schools have implemented academic response to intervention (RTI) and schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) as separate initiatives. This book provides keys to making these programs more effective, seamless, efficient, and sustainable by combining them into a single multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). Steps and strategies are outlined for integrating data structures, practices, teams, and district systems. Contributing authors present detailed case examples of successful MTSS implementation in three states. In a large-size format, the book features 27 reproducible checklists and evaluation tools. Purchasers get access to a companion website where they can download and print the reproducible materials plus other helpful resources. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.Trade Review“If you want to improve the impact of your academic and behavioral strategies for all your students, then follow McIntosh and Goodman's expert guidance on using the MTSS framework and logic. This book does a superb job of addressing the 'why,' 'what,' 'how,' 'when,' and 'where' of aligning and integrating leadership teaming, data-based decision making, explicit academic and behavior instruction, universal screening, continuous progress monitoring, and evaluation and coaching. And, it provides the empirical support, self-assessments, and applied examples for making MTSS contextually relevant and doable for you and your students."--George Sugai, PhD, Professor and Carole J. Neag Endowed Chair, Neag School of Education, University of Connecticut "A 'must read' for those interested in learning how to construct, implement, evaluate, and sustain integrated three-tiered models of prevention. McIntosh and Goodman have produced an easy-to-access guide for developing data-driven systems to meet students’ academic and behavioral needs, including very practical information on systematic screening efforts."--Kathleen Lynne Lane, PhD, BCBA-D, Department of Special Education, University of Kansas "The publication of this volume has been eagerly awaited. McIntosh and Goodman provide the most comprehensive lens to date for integrating academic and behavior systems of support. They clearly articulate the critical features and attributes that support implementation and sustainability of an MTSS at both the district and building levels. The authors have succeeded in writing a very reader-friendly book, complete with practical examples and tools for moving teams at all stages of implementation forward. This is an essential practitioner’s handbook and should be required reading for all preservice educators."--Dawn Miller, PhD, SWIFT Center (Schoolwide Integrated Framework for Transformation), University of Kansas "At a time when educational systems are under constant financial strain, the ability to integrate systems in school districts is crucial. By using an MTSS, K-12 educators can become more efficient and effective. This book details how to work toward integrating current processes and support systems to facilitate student learning. I encourage school personnel who want to understand an integrated approach to educational systems to read this book."--Gustavo Balderas, DEd, Superintendent of Schools, Eugene School District, Oregon "Well written, understandable, informative, and relevant. McIntosh and Goodman have created a great resource that is useful for those just embarking on an MTSS journey as well as those who have been working toward an integrated MTSS for some time. Not only does this book provide guidance about how and why integration of academic RTI and PBIS is important, but it also gives us tools to help us all in our work."--Justyn Poulos,Assistant Director, Wisconsin RTI Center -Table of ContentsI.

Guilford Publications Spectrum of Independence
Book SynopsisFor parents of neurodiverse children, milestones that many families take for granted--like graduating from high school or college, getting a job, and, eventually, leaving the nest--may be fraught with uncertainty. How can kids who need loads of support to get through the day ever learn to take care of themselves? This motivating, practical book gives worried parents concrete strategies for maximizing the independence of their child or teen with autism, intellectual disabilities, or other forms of neurodiversity. Exercises and downloadable worksheets are rooted in scientifically based behavioral principles and illustrated with vivid, relatable examples. By breaking down tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, and making a sandwich into manageable micro steps, parents learn to phase out assistance gradually and systematically as kids take ownership of their routines. Daily life skills truly can be improved with the right tools--and they are vital stepping stones for the challenges of

Harriman House Publishing The Learning Game: Teaching Kids to Think for
Book SynopsisHow did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into classrooms by age and grade, forcing them to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, seven hours a day, five days a week, for twelve years? We trust the school system to prepare our kids for the future. We get excited when they get good grades, or disappointed if they don't. But we rarely stop to question whether school is teaching our children the right things in the right way. Kids could get good at playing the game of school, but are they really learning? Teacher-turned-edupreneur Ana Lorena Fabrega, known by her students as Ms. Fab, invites us to rethink education. In The Learning Game, she reveals how traditional schooling has gone wrong, and proposes a series of actionable strategies to help kids learn. What if we guide kids to think for themselves? Should we encourage kids to take risks and tackle projects of their own? How do we help kids learn to love learning? Answering these questions and many more, The Learning Game will arm you with practical tools to design a new approach to learning-one that leaves behind the game of school and prepares your kids for the game of life.

Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd Building Wellbeing and Resilience: How to Help
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.
