Book Description
This book presents a collection of papers offering practical strategies that teachers can use to enhance student performance at all levels. The authors identify and describe the most effective teaching approaches for helping students learn history, civics, geography, and science. The book extends the notion of diversity by examining different populations that have been underserved by schools (e.g., homeless and immigrant students). After a "Foreword" (Gene R. Carter) and "Preface" (Robert W. Cole and Helene Hodges), the eight papers are: (1) "Overcoming a Pedagogy of Poverty" (Helene Hodges); (2) "Diverse Teaching Strategies for Homeless Children" (Evelyn Reed-Victor and James H. Stronge); (3) "Diverse Teaching Strategies for Immigrant Children" (JoAnn Crandall, Ann Jaramillo, Laurie Olsen, and Joy Kreeft Peyton); (4) "Strategies for Increasing Achievement in Civics" (Mary Ellen Bafumo and Burton Cohen); (5) "Strategies for Increasing Achievement in Geography" (Mary E. Haas); (6) "Strategies for Increasing Achievement in History" (Virginia E. Causey and Beverly J. Armento); (7) "Strategies for Increasing Achievement in Science" (Charles Watson, Alvin Pettus, and Steven Fairchild); and (8) "ASCD Talks Back" (educators respond to papers in this volume). (Papers contain references.) (SM)

Book Description
It's no fun when you have to wait. And Hanna has to wait for her little brother Peter a lot. She waits at the speech-language pathologist's office, at story time-will it ever be her turn? Many brothers and sisters of children with a speech-language disorder have a hard time understanding why their sibling is getting extra attention. It's no surprise when they feel left out. This engaging story shows how Hanna, with a little help, learns to understand her feelings and find a way for both Peter and her to have their turn. The endearing illustrations bring the story to life and make this a warm and accessible story for sharing at bedtime-or anytime. This book can be used by parents, speech-language pathologists, and educators as a springboard for more conversations. It includes a section of helpful and practical communication tips for the whole family. Discussion starters help children understand and communicate their feelings.

Book Description
Nearly two-thirds of American women with children under age six are in the labor force. It should be no surprise that child care is one of the most serious and widespread concerns of parents today. They worry constantly, wondering if they can afford a particular arrangement, dreading that their favorite provider will quit, and, mostly, questioning whether or not they're doing the best they can for their children. Although these concerns are usually considered a private headache, William Gormley argues that child care is a social problem of critical importance, aggravated by weak institutional supports, and that there are compelling reasons for government intervention. In this important new book, Gormley offers a balanced and comprehensive analysis of the market, government, and societal failures to ensure available, affordable, high-quality child care in the United States. Unreliable child care, he says, contributes to family stress and undermines efforts to achieve educational readiness, welfare reform, and gender equity. Neither regulators nor family support agencies distinguish sharply enough between good and bad child care facilities. Meanwhile, government and businesses provide inadequate financial and logistical support. Children suffer as a result, as does society as a whole. Gormley presents evidence on how different states and communities have responded to child care challenges and he prescribes the roles to be played by federal, state, and local governments, for-profit and non-profit child care providers, churches, schools, and family support agencies. Gormley recommends a number of reforms, including information sharing, flexible enforcement, targeted subsidies, and family-friendly workplaces. He contends that different levels of government and societal institutions must work together to achieve the goals of efficiency, justice, choice, discretion, coordination, and responsiveness.
