This brief highlights issues relating to military service members’ expression of violence outside of the military due to the constant readiness for or the exposure to organized violence. It investigates how service members are affected by these experiences, considering both the exacerbation of aggressive traits and the impact it has on mental health.

Most students who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) struggle with acquiring literacy skills, some as a direct result of their hearing loss, some because they are receiving insufficient modifications to access the general education curriculum, and some because they have additional learning challenges necessitating significant program modifications. This second edition of Literacy Instruction for Students who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing updates previous findings and describes current, evidence-based practices in teaching literacy to DHH learners. Beal, Dostal, and Easterbrooks provide educators and parents with a process for determining which literacy and language assessments are appropriate for individual DHH learners and whether an instructional practice is supported by evidence or causal factors. They describe the literacy process with an overview of related learning theories, language and literacy assessments, and evidence-based instructional strategies across the National Reading Panel's five areas of literacy instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The volume includes evidence-based writing strategies and case vignettes that highlight application of assessments and instructional strategies within each of these literacy areas. Crucially, it reviews the remaining challenges related to literacy instruction for DHH learners. Educators and parents who provide literacy instruction to DHH learners will benefit from the breadth and depth of literacy content provided in this concise literacy textbook.
The Grammar of School Discipline examines how seemingly discrete school discipline policies and practices constitute a particular grammar: Removal, Resistance and Reform. Weaving numeric data with portraits of students and school practitioners, the authors detail a nuanced landscape of school discipline in Alabama and its anti-Black foundations. The removal of Black students can be traced to the antebellum construction of Blackness as criminal, deviant, and deserving of punishment. A focus on resistance centers the agency that students and practitioners exercise despite anti-Black removal. An exploration of specific reform efforts emphasizes that even the most well-intentioned and well-organized reforms are limited when the removal of students remains an option for practitioners. The authors end with an appeal to educational stakeholders to repair the harms that these anti-Black policies and practices inflict on students and communities, and thus move towards repairing the damage that white supremacy inflicts on everyone’s humanity.

Durante la festa di fine anno accademico a Maple Hills, Russ Callaghan e Aurora Roberts prendono parte a un gioco alcolico che li porta a trascorrere insieme una notte di passione. Ma al mattino Aurora scappa via prima ancora che Russ abbia la possibilità di chiederle il nome completo. Nessuno dei due poteva immaginare che presto si sarebbero incontrati di nuovo al campo estivo, dove entrambi hanno deciso di prestare servizio sperando di sfuggire alle loro complicate vite domestiche. Russ non vuole affrontare le ripercussioni della dipendenza dal gioco d'azzardo del padre; Aurora è stanca di reclamare attenzioni e di essere considerata l'ultima ruota del carro in famiglia. Russ sa che infrangendo la rigida regola del campo "non si fraternizza con il personale" rischia di tornare a Maple Hills prima che l'estate sia finita, ma sfortunatamente per lui Aurora non è mai stata brava a rispettare le regole. Sapranno imparare a convivere pacificamente? O la loro unica notte insieme ha innescato un incendio che non possono spegnere?
Henry Turner har altid vidst, at hans mange overspringshandlinger ville gøre livet på college udfordrende. Og det var endda før, han blev kaptajn for ishockeyholdet og fik indskrevet sig på et af skolens sværeste fag. Her møder han heldigvis Halle Jacobs, elitestuderende og introvert people-pleaser, og hun kan selvfølgelig ikke sige nej til at hjælpe Henry med at bestå. Til gengæld lover Henry at gøre hendes collegetid lidt mere inspirerende – lige hvad en desperat forfatterspire med skriveblokering har brug for. Der er meget på spil for dem begge ... men det betyder ikke, at de ikke kan lade sig distrahere.
