In the decades after World War II, the literary scene in Australia flourished: local writers garnered international renown and local publishers sought and produced more Australian books. The traditional view of this postwar period is of successful male writers, with women still confined to the domestic sphere. In "Nine Lives," Susan Sheridan rewrites the pages of history to foreground the women writers who contributed equally to this literary renaissance. Sheridan traces the early careers of nine Australian women writers born between 1915 and 1925, who each achieved success between the mid 1940s and 1970s. Judith Wright and Thea Astley published quickly to resounding critical acclaim, while Gwen Harwood's frustration with chauvinistic literary editors prompted her pseudonymous poetry. Fiction writers Elizabeth Jolley, Amy Witting and Jessica Anderson remained unpublished until they were middle-aged; Rosemary Dobson, Dorothy Hewett and Dorothy Auchterlonie Green started strongly as poets in the 1940s, but either reduced their output or fell silent for the next twenty years. Sheridan considers why their careers developed differently from the careers of their male counterparts and how they balanced marriage, family and writing. This illuminating group biography offers a fresh perspective on mid-twentieth century Australian literature, and the women writers who helped to shape it.
Here, the authors provide a procedural guide for the practice of conjoint behavioral consultation (CBC)-reviewing its background, procedures, and benefits. This user-friendly handbook provides specific guidelines and procedures to implement CBC; explores contemporary issues surrounding CBC using real-life examples; and offers theoretical and empirical rationales for the CBC procedures described in the book. Noteworthy features include corresponding interview guides, case studies, chapter objectives, and discussion questions.
This reader-friendly second edition of Sheridan and Kratochwill’s important work offers innovative applications of CBC as an ecological, evidence-based approach. In this new edition, the authors combine best practices in consultation and problem-solving for interventions that promote and support children’s potential, teachers’ educational mission, and family members’ unique strengths. A step-by-step framework for developing and maintaining family/school partnerships takes readers from initial interviews through plan evaluation. Practical strategies illustrate working with diverse families and school personnel, improving family competence, promoting joint responsibility, and achieving other collaborative goals.
Dr. Susan Rich Sheridan is a scholar/teacher with degrees in English, Art, and Education. Her book, Saving Literacy, introduces a brain-based theory and a Scribbling/Drawing/Writing practice for children 10 months to six years. Developmental benchmarks, lesson plans, evaluation tools, and research questions are included, designed for professional caregivers: preschool and daycare providers, elementary school teachers, art teachers and therapists, child psychologists, speech pathologists, and researchers in child development, education and brain science. The goals of the program are sustained attention, emotional control and connection, expanded speech and literacy. Autism and the effects of technology are discussed.
This is a resource for school-based practitioners, including psychologists, counselors, social workers, and special education consultants; clinical child psychologists; inservice and preservice teaches; and school administrators. It will serve as a text in courses on school consultation, building home-school partnerships, parent counseling, and parent education."--BOOK JACKET.
HandMade Marks introduces a brain-based theory of early childhood education with an applied Scribbling/Drawing/Writing program. Benchmarks, evaluation tools, and exercises for parents with children 10 months to 6 years support and encourage sustained attention, emotional control and connection, expanded speech and literacy. While adding fun and closeness to language learning, this program also addresses developmental deficits and delays. Autism, technology and a range of research questions are discussed. Dr. Sheridan has published a companion book, Saving Literacy, for professional caregivers, including teachers and therapists.

A program developed specifically for students with classic features of autism, who tend to learn best by participating in activities they find interesting, engaging, and part of their daily lives. As a result, the social skills are embedded in motivating lessons in real-life social situations, involving such things as learning to do something nice for others, working on a classroom project, or waiting in a cafeteria line.--Publisher.
This book describes a drawing-based approach to writing. The first part of the book, "The Reasons Why," provides both background and rationale for the drawing-based literacy program and is in four parts: The Drawing/Writing Experience; Brain Science Informs Education; New Classrooms, New Teachers; and The New Literacy. The second part, "How To Do It," guides the reader through the five steps of the Drawing/Writing process. Part Three, "Hitchhikers' Guide to Brain Science," provides background information from neurobiology useful for understanding Neuroconstructivism as a theory and Drawing/Writing as a practice. Part Four, "The Thinking Child," describes WholeBrain curricular guidelines and strategies, and includes sample English and Fine Arts programs appropriate at the middle, high school, and college levels.
