Book SynopsisPositive Peace in Schools offers a fresh and challenging perspective on the question of conflict, violence and peace in schools. Drawing on the most up-to-date theory and research from the field of peace and conflict studies, this book provides readers with a strong understanding of the concept of positive peace, and how the dimensions of peace-keeping, peace-making and peace-building can be robustly applied in schools. This accessible book challenges educators everywhere to reconsider the nature of direct and indirect violence in schools, and the structural and cultural factors that sustain it. It engages with global traditions of harmony and balance that are often neglected in Western notions of liberal securitised peace, in order to suggest a model for schools that integrates inner and outer peace. The book also includes practical sections that outline restorative approaches to discipline, peer mediation, circle learning, and classroom activities to promote mindfTrade Review‘The early part of this well researched book addresses the complex issues around the many forms of violence perpetrated in and by schools. This must be understood if we want to achieve real culture change. A restorative approach to problem-solving assumes that there is something to restore to. This is addressed thoroughly through promoting an understanding of and differences between peace-building, peace-keeping and peace-making. From the perspective of a restorative practitioner and trainer, I think it is a must read for schools who are serious about culture change and who believe in a relational approach to school life in general.’ - Margaret Thorsborne, Restorative pioneer, practitioner, author and trainer'Positive Peace in Schools takes up the challenge of engaging with the concepts and practices for peace education in the 21st century. Beautifully written, this book invites facilitators to comprehend that peace education is not only a subject, but a way of relating to students, colleagues and staff, moving beyond ‘doing peace education’ towards ‘being peace educators’ in the classroom and beyond. The iPEACE Model is of great help to translate the keywords of inclusion, humility and solidarity into working concepts in learning environments. I admire the clarity and depth with which Cremin and Bevington take readers from the surface to the epicenter of conflict transformation in an elicitive and safe way. This valuable and stimulating book is a must-read for anyone wanting to engage with current debates on peace education and those committed to embodying it in a holistic way.' - Josefina Echavarría Álvarez, MA Program in Peace Studies. University of Innsbruck, Austria.‘Positive Peace in Schools is a rich resource for building inclusive, dynamic, sustainable peace in ordinary school communities. Its specific examples and guidelines for creating inclusive relationships, skills, and practices for handling issues and welcoming difference are well-grounded in scholarship and experience, organized through a clear, persuasive conceptual framework. The central idea—educating through positive peace—is critically idealistic, yet down-to-earth, justice-minded and demonstrably doable.

Book SynopsisThis beautifully illustrated, therapeutic picture book tells the story of Ava the Elephant. Ava lives in a house where she doesnât always feel happy and safe, but it is a house that Ava loves. One day Avaâs house falls down. Ava is a very determined elephant and sets out in search of a new home. She tries many different houses on her journey, but none seem quite right; none seem stable or safe enough to her. This storybook has been written to support key adults in helping traumatised children to find a way to trust again. The story encourages children to identify with some of Avaâs experience and to explore the feelings she experiences. The book helps promote discussion and reflection; and aims to reassure children that it is possible to find a âhouse that wonât fall downâ. The resource Guide to Re-building Trust with Traumatised Children has been written to accompany the picture book, providing information, guidance and ideas for anyone supporting a traumatised child, in school or at home. Trade ReviewThe House that Wouldn’t Fall Down should be a core text for any professional who is working with children. The accompanying workbook contains a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for those "where do I start moments". Working with traumatised children can be daunting, but ‘The house that wouldn’t fall down’ is a story children will love and professionals will take hope from. Gemma Finley, Children's CounsellorDue to increased waiting times and lack of outside agency support, pressure is being placed on schools to help children cope with what can be an upsetting and stressful world. Supporting with mental health is an area teachers often lack confidence in. These books and resources offer the starting point needed and enable teachers and teaching assistants to feel like this is an area they can support with. Beautifully illustrated and a pleasure to read. After years of searching I know there is nothing quite as good as this out there! Corrin Watson, Assistant Head Teacher and SENCOThese wonderful stories are so easy for children to relate to, and understand the feelings and meanings shared. The resource books are ideal for helping children to explore their emotions, and for parents, carers and school staff to feel equipped to help them to do so.

The guidebook outlines ways to use these beautifully told and visually appealing stories to nurture emotional resilience with children. This set of guidebook and storybooks will be invaluable tools for anyone working to build emotional resilience with children and young people.How Monsters Wish to Feel is a therapeutic story about a journey to develop emotional resilience.

Book SynopsisMental health and wellbeing is a hugely important agenda in education, both nationally and internationally. Promoting Positive Mental Health in the Primary School unpacks scientific and psychological research and evidence to explain positive mental health through the lens of a primary classroom in the language of teaching professionals. Chapter by chapter, the book focuses on specific elements fundamental to positive mental health promotion in the classroom, including developing positive relationships, emotional literacy, empowering children as learners as well as the importance of teacher wellbeing, and illustrates how these can be achieved. It offers: An examination into the connection between positive mental health and good teaching Guidance underpinned by evidence for teachers and school leaders who wish to embed a consistent approach to positive mental health promotion Practical suggestions for whole school profeTrade ReviewTina Stones, EdD student at University of Edinburgh Following the introduction of ‘Getting it Right for Every Child’ agenda in Scotland and ‘Every Child Matters’ in England, there has been an increased interest in wellbeing in education. Further, ‘The Good Childhood Inquiry’ raised the profile of the emotional wellbeing of children and schools have a responsibility to develop the wellbeing of the children. Research suggests the implementation has been complex and not all teachers view the promotion of positive mental health as their responsibility. I would suggest that there is a real need for this book and the markets would include schools, FE colleges and HE institutions. Since the introduction of OECD measurements of the wellbeing of young people the international market will also be a possibility. I expect a sustained interest in the field of positive mental health promotion in education. I believe the topic will grow and evolve as the needs and complexities of childhood and youth grow and change. I don’t believe the book will become quickly out of date so long as it does not focus too strongly on the current policy context. Emotional literacy, wellbeing, resilience, positive mental health, nurture and positive relationships are likely to remain important agendas for primary school teachers. The evidence base for nurturing environments is growing and is likely to further expand in the future. Dr Richard Woolley, University of Worcester Mental health is an area very much to the fore in education at the present time, and will continue to be important. In England, Ofsted will focus increasingly on children’s well-being as a part of inspections, which will further raise the profile of positive mental health. A book that explores issues in way that is accessible to primary school teachers will be beneficial.

Book SynopsisWidely recognized as a gold-standard resource, this authoritative book has been revised and expanded with 50% new material. It provides a complete introduction to functional behavioral assessment (FBA), complete with procedures, forms, and tools that have been piloted and refined in both general and special education settings. Numerous vivid examples illustrate how to use the authors' behavior-analytic problem-solving model (BAPS) to synthesize assessment results and guide the design of individually tailored interventions. Practitioners and students enjoy the engaging, conversational tone. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes 17 reproducible checklists and forms. Purchasers get access to a companion webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials. New to This Edition *Revised BAPS model reflects the latest research and offers a more comprehensive approach to FBA. *Chapters on professional and ethical standards; analyzing how bioloTrade Review"With this third edition, Steege and associates have once again brought the state of the art (really science) of FBA to a wide range of readers, with new tools and great examples. This is a perfect text for psychology courses in applied behavior analysis as well as education courses in positive behavior support."--Wayne Sailor, PhD, Department of Special Education and Co-Director, SWIFT (Schoolwide Integrated Framework for Transformation) Education Center, University of Kansas "The third edition of this well-respected book not only clearly describes the steps and strategies of FBA--a hallmark of previous editions--but also expands the conversation to include nuanced topics rarely covered in other FBA resources. These topics include the influence of students’ thoughts, emotions, medical issues, and executive skills on school behavior. Through the use of real-life examples involving a variety of students and behavioral challenges, Steege and colleagues effectively convey the compassionate, individualized nature of FBA and the practical idea that the approach is only as good as the interventions and outcomes that result from it."--John J. Murphy, PhD, Department of Psychology and Counseling, University of Central Arkansas "The book offers a very good balance of 'how to' and 'why to.' It is strong in evidence-based research support, and conveys complex theory and praxis in a conversational voice. The ready-to-use, downloadable forms offer outstanding value. The updates in the third edition are important, given the ever-changing populations of students that we see in the practice of school psychology. In a field that prioritizes best practices, I appreciate that the book addresses circumstances where behavioral assessment is completed 'as best as possible' given the multitude of factors in play. This is one of those books I encourage my students to have on their shelves for its timeless tips, tools, and information."--Kelly Dean Schwartz, PhD, RPsych, School and Applied Child Psychology Program, University of Calgary, Canada "This book is organized in a very understandable way. The third edition is even more user-friendly than the second edition; I think my students will find the content easier to grasp and apply. The book is not too prescriptive--it makes clear that every child's individual strengths and needs must be considered. It contains wonderful resources, such as downloadable forms and templates, with filled-out examples to ensure understanding. As a school psychologist for 12 years, one of my favorite parts of the book is the authors' anecdotes and personal stories--they are familiar, illuminating, and entertaining. This book is very applicable for those who conduct FBAs in schools or train other professionals. It really works on both levels."--Elizabeth Willis, MS, EdS, NCSP, Lecturer, Educational Specialist in School Psychology Program, Eastern Washington University "The third edition contains much new material, particularly around executive skill delays and the behavior-analytic problem-solving model. This book is particularly useful for graduate students in school psychology and/or applied behavior analysis programs who have future goals of becoming school-based practitioners. The templates and examples of FBAs contained within the text alone are invaluable resources for both graduate students and early-career professionals."--Robyn B. Bratica, PhD, Department of School Psychology, William James College -A comprehensive handbook for school-based practitioners with updated formatting for thorough function-based evaluations and interventions….It encompasses the classic components of FBA while providing a format for practitioners to incorporate the increasingly significant impact of internalizing emotions, trauma, and skill deficits on behavior. In doing so, it expands upon the traditional components of the FBA and increases its relevance and utility….A user-friendly reference guide that provides the opportunity for practicing school psychologists to brush up on their knowledge of FBA and behavioral theory, increase the specificity and utility of their FBAs, and conduct FBAs that are better suited to the increasingly complex needs of our students.--NASP Communiqué, 05/01/2021Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIn a Nutshell - This book helps in-service and pre-service teachers understand how students with mild to significant autism can be perceived as literate and then supported to participate in literacy activities both in and out of school.Synopsis - In addition to discussing reading and writing within the formal academic curricula, this practical volume considers how students with autism may use literacy to enhance other areas of their lives (e.g., to research and understand their own disability, to pursue social relationships online). Drawing upon classroom and school observations, the authors' own experiences as elementary and high school teachers, autobiographies of people with autism spectrum disorders, and recent research in the areas of significant disabilities and education, the book explores why students with these labels are often excluded and offers ideas for planning lessons, creating curricular adaptations, and designing a classroom environment that promotes literacy learning for students with autism.
