A Research Reader in Universal Design for Learning
"This book considers the major research areas that underlie UDL and call out for further exploration in the years ahead."--p. 4 of cover.
Universal Design for Learning in the Classroom
The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework has grown from its origins in special education to being widely used to support all students, making the fully rewritten second edition of this indispensable guide more relevant than ever. Filled with practical, vivid examples and tips, the book demonstrates the power of UDL when applied to particular content areas. Specific teaching ideas are presented for literacy, STEM, project-based learning, career and technical education, and the arts. The editors and contributors describe practical ways to create thriving learning environments that use UDL to meet diverse learners' needs. New to This Edition *Entirely new content. *Coverage expanded from elementary and middle grades to secondary and beyond. *Innovative approaches embracing the growth of UDL and the ubiquity of digital technologies in today’s classrooms. *Spotlight on issues of equity and inclusion. *Chapters on antiracism, social–emotional learning, career and technical education, journey mapping, and curriculum design. *Compelling discussions of advances in UDL principles and research directions.
Social and Emotional Learning in Action
Just because a school has adopted a social and emotional learning (SEL) program does not mean it will work. This book explores the conditions needed to implement, strengthen, and sustain effective SEL, and identifies paths that schools, districts, and states have taken to create those conditions. Major themes include equity of access to high-quality SEL, promoting interracial understanding in all school interactions, and enhancing the well-being and SEL skills of teachers and school leaders as well as students. Chapters describe exemplary initiatives that infuse SEL into classroom instruction, administrative decision making, school–family–community partnerships, and teacher training. End-of-chapter discussion questions enhance the book’s value for professional learning and course use.
Human Behavior, Learning, and the Developing Brain
Thoroughly examining brain-behavior relationships in atypically developing children, this important volume integrates theories and data from multiple disciplines. Leading authorities present research on specific clinical problems, including autism, Williams syndrome, learning and language disabilities, ADHD, and issues facing infants of diabetic mothers. In addition, the effects of social stress and maltreatment on brain development and behavior are reviewed. Demonstrating the uses of cutting-edge methods from developmental neuroscience, developmental psychology, and cognitive science, the contributors emphasize the implications of their findings for real-world educational and clinical practices. Illustrations include eight pages in full color. This book will be important reading for practitioners and researchers in developmental and cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, developmental psychology, clinical psychology, education, and psychiatry; also of interest to advanced students. It will also serve as a text in graduate-level courses on learning and the brain, developmental and cognitive neuroscience, neurodevelopmental disorders, and related topics.
Living with Learning Disabilities and Disorders
Although learning disabilities are believed to affect a significant number of children, not all of those children receive an actual diagnosis. While school officials, teachers, and parents continue to improve education for these children, the general public still has misconceptions about learning disabilities and how to help those affected by them. This detailed look at learning disabilities aims to educate readers through relatable text and engaging sidebars. Annotated quotes from experts, up-to-date statistics, and new technologies are explored, as well as the causes of and common misconceptions about life with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, and more.
Why Love Matters
Why Love Matters explains why loving relationships are essential to brain development in the early years, and how these early interactions can have lasting consequences for future emotional and physical health. This second edition follows on from the success of the first, updating the scientific research, covering recent findings in genetics and the mind/body connection, and including a new chapter highlighting our growing understanding of the part also played by pregnancy in shaping a baby’s future emotional and physical well-being. The author focuses in particular on the wide-ranging effects of early stress on a baby or toddler’s developing nervous system. When things go wrong with relationships in early life, the dependent child has to adapt; what we now know is that his or her brain adapts too. The brain’s emotion and immune systems are particularly affected by early stress and can become less effective. This makes the child more vulnerable to a range of later difficulties such as depression, anti-social behaviour, addictions or anorexia, as well as physical illness.

The Impact of Poverty, Relationships and Social Context on Stress System Functioning in Childhood
The last two decades of research in developmental psychobiology have yielded many results in support of the idea that the development of stress system functioning is socially regulated. However, evidence in support of the social regulation hypothesis has been limited by its focus on the mother-child relationship as an organizing force. In this dissertation I addressed this limitation both empirically and theoretically. First I conducted a study to examine the effects of relationship conflict, social context and social condition on cortisol regulation in young children in the context of childcare. My results indicate that the cortisol levels of young children living in poverty decrease while ...
Crisis-Proofing Today's Learners
Sadly, many of our kids today are just not adequately prepared to make informed, confident decisions about what they want to do after high school. A thought-provoking examination of today’s education system and workforce preparedness, Crisis-Proofing Today’s Learners: Reimagining Career Education to Prepare Kids for Tomorrow’s World explores the career readiness pathways our youth take and how a different educational approach could prepare them for the detours life presents. It offers insights into the types of skills young people need to be successful in today’s workforce and prepare them for careers that we might not even have imagined in 2023.
