Shadows in the Rain is based on a true story. In this dynamic novel, Liza Rawlings tells her tale of love, greed, and the ultimate tumble from her lofty legal perch. Liza is a woman who has it all: a successful law practice, a stunning beach house, and a new Lexus in the garage, but none of it can erase the fact that her once-in-a-lifetime love is dead and she’s facing the brutal consequences. Just how did this all go down? Was it greed, ambition, horrible timing, or all of the above? Set against the glittering backdrop of Newport Beach, California, nationally recognized attorney Liza Rawlings climbs the legal ladder, only to find herself facing a murder one charge that threatens everything she’s earned. The murky world of international money laundering has its talons deeply embedded into Liza’s life and now threatens to infect her soul. She finds herself at the mercy of a world-class money kingpin. Attorney J. Gregory Gold wages an uphill battle to learn the truth behind what appears to be yet another of America’s fascinations with Ponzi-like schemes, and Liza possesses a list of solid gold investors who stand to lose millions. Where did the money go? How did the funds transfer across international borders so effortlessly and so completely undetected? More importantly, who’s holding the purse strings? Because Liza figured out the answers, she and her lover were put in mortal jeopardy. Furious and helpless over the ugly turn of events, Liza realizes the only person she can truly trust is herself.
Kendall and Braswell have designed and developed specific procedures that can improve children's self-control and reduce their impulsivity. In this second edition, the authors both expand and focus the application of their program, involving parents and teachers to a greater extent, making greater use of hands-on workbook materials, and adapting and implementing procedures for children with a wide range of behavior problems linked to impulsivity. The present edition also provides, in greater detail, descriptions of treatment strategies, in'session therapy materials, case examples, and illustrative transcripts. This book will be of great value to child and family psychologists, social workers, educators, and psychiatrists, as well as parents, pediatricians, classroom teachers, and others who frequently encounter impulsive children. This book also serves as an excellent ancillary text for courses in clinical child psychology, school psychology, educational interventions, applied developmental psychology, and other mental health related classes.
Curriculum at Your Core is a practical guide to designing curriculum that meets standards, serves personal and institutional values, and intentionally leads to successful student learning. Identifying which understandings, knowledge, and skills are “most important” for students to learn is always a question of values, so getting clear on values gives teachers a starting place to design cohesive units, courses, and programs. Written by a teacher for teachers, Curriculum at Your Core includes stories, examples, and case studies from across grade levels and subjects, as well as exercises, protocols, and templates teachers can use when writing values-congruent curriculum. Some key features include: stories of failures and successes in designing curriculum metaphors from everyday life to help teachers understand curriculum design as a process rooted in values and culminating in meaningful learning examples of essential questions, assessment guidelines, lesson calendars, unit plans, and curriculum maps exercises and templates teachers can use to create and assess curriculum protocols designed to encourage inclusive participation and critical reflection when colleagues look at curriculum together
