On Their Own?

Making the Transition from School to Work in the Information Age

By: Stewart Crysdale,Alan J. C. King,Nancy Mandell

Uses a sample of 324 young adults in four Canadian urban centers who left high school in the mid-1980s, as well as interviews with their parents, former teachers, and employers, to identify factors that ease the transition from school to work. Looks at factors such as level of education, social class, gender, and motivation, with emphasis on the importance of cooperative education. Suggests closer relations between school and work, such as exist in the UK and Sweden, to facilitate transition into the labor market. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Historical Dictionary of Chinese Culture

By: Lawrence R. Sullivan,Nancy Liu-Sullivan

Covering wide-ranging topics from the arts and entertainment to customs and traditions from the ancient imperial and modern eras, Historical Dictionary of Chinese Culture provides more than 300 separate entries along with a comprehensive chronology, glossary of Chinese cultural terms, and an extensive bibliography of Western and Chinese-language sources. Dictionary entries of the decorative and fine arts include ceramics and porcelains, handicrafts, jade and seal carving, jewelry, and painting. The literary subjects range from fiction to non-fiction, but especially poetry. Major entertainment venues of cinema and film, classical puppetry, and theater, both ancient and modern are also covered. In addition to the arts, the authors include major customary practices from childbirth and childrearing to marriage and weddings to funerals and burial practices. Other aspects of the culture are also examined, including crime, foot-binding, pornography, and prostitution, and the government policies aimed at their eradication. Throughout the text, Chinese-language translations of key terms are presented in italics and parenthesis, along with biographies of figures central to the creation of China’s magnificent cultural heritage.

Rethinking Small-group Instruction in the Intermediate Grades

Differentiation that Makes a Difference

By: Nancy N. Boyles

Small-group instruction becomes a strategic, differentiated tool for Response to Intervention in Dr. Nancy N. Boyle's new resource, Rethinking Small-group Instruction in the Intermediate Grades. In this complete and ready-to-go resource, Dr. Boyles answers key questions about transforming small-group instruction to meet RTI objectives: How can I teach comprehension strategies during small-group instruction?; How do I align high-stakes standards with comprehension objectives?; Where do fluency, vocabulary, and author's craft fit in small-group discussion?; How can I explicitly teach skills and promote meaningful discussions?; and How do I effectively include intermediate-grade students who function at a primary level? Rethinking Small-group Instruction in the Intermediate Grades provides sixteen options to differentiate small-group instruction. Teachers focus on reinforcing comprehension skills and strategies while explicitly teaching students how to construct basic meaning about both literary and informational texts and master the art of discourse, which leads to higher-level critical and creative thinking. Boyles shows intermediate teachers how to embed the Common Core State Standards into small-group instruction and provides all of the rubrics, checklists, planning templates, and prompts necessary to implement these instructional formats in both the book and the included CD. The useful CD also contains target sheets matched to each objective that explain how to find the best evidence to meet the objective. Let Rethinking Small-group Instruction maximize the power of your small-group instruction to differentiate your teaching and efficiently meet RTI goals and national standards at the same time.

My Nana Was A Free-Range Kid

By: Nancy Peek Youngdahl

In the 1940s and ’50s, children were allowed to run free, play outside, and use their imaginations—without parents constantly hovering over them and fearing for their safety. In her own small town in North Carolina—with very little traffic, and neighbors who actually knew each other—Nana was no exception to the free-range kid phenomenon. But as an outrageously mischievous child that was left to her own devices, she sure got into some amazing and hilarious adventures.It was a glorious time to be a child! Both of Nana’s parents worked, so she and her brother were often unsupervised.They wreaked havoc most of the time, thus living an exciting childhood. Nana’s stories—told to her great-grandchildren—are all true. She relates how her family and neighbors survived in spite of her and is quick to let her great-grandchildren know what not to do. As she says, if she had lived as a child today, she’d probably be locked up in a juvenile home!
