The purpose of this handbook is to help educators at all levels to recognize potential legal hazards in educational settings and to learn how to negotiate the slick roads safely. The focus is on school and classroom issues, not district-level topics. Legal basics are discussed in the context of both informal anecdotes about actual situations and formal cases. Chapter 1 describes how laws for educators are made. The laws that affect schools and classrooms come from many sources: federal, state, and local. Chapters 2 through 10 focus on basic rights and responsibilities of educators. Topics include speech, conduct, and privacy issues; professional liability; classroom management; censorship, copyright, and the curriculum; supervision and discipline of students; property rights, confidentiality, and reporting requirements; chronic illness and medical emergencies; and sexual misconduct and sexual harassment. Chapter 11 discusses types of legal actions that educators may face and how to defend themselves. Legal citations follow each chapter. (MLF)

Although described as "Part 1," this volume of Vincennes District land records is apparently all that was published. It covers approximately the central third of the Vincennes District, comprising all of the present counties of Daviess, Gibson, Knox, Martin, and Pike; and over half of Monroe and Lawrence. Beginning in 1807 and extending as late as 1877, the records transcribed here give the names of about 12,000 purchasers of land as well as the specific location of their land and the date of the record.
This book provides an illustrative overview of some of the key methodological and technical innovations that form the cutting edge of current research in behavioral medicine. It is divided into three sections. Part I consists of six chapters describing the impact on behavioral medicine research of novel developments in diverse areas such as molecular genetics, neuroendocrine assessment, laboratory radionuclide measurement of cardiac function, and the development of electronic event monitors for measuring compliance with medication regimens. In addition, new applications of long-available assessment techniques in clinical neuropsychology to behavioral issues in cardiovascular disease are revi...
Demonstrating that the magnitude and pattern of cardiovascular response to stress varies markedly between individuals, this work discusses the mechanisms by which the cardiovascular system is mobilized during stress, the determinants of individual differences, and the pathophysiological processes by which responses to stress may lead to cardiovascular disease. Behavioral scientists from a variety of disciplines will find the work pertinent to their research.
Focuses on the latest research on the relationship between bio-behavioral and social factors and heart disease. Examines ethnic differences, psychosocial influences, and proposed behavioral interventions. Appeals to psychologists, physicians, nurses, et
