Great Teaching
Amid the ‘high-stakes’ climate of public education today, DiGiulio’s book reminds us of far more important outcomes than politicized test scores. Plain and simple, the book resonates with common sense.
Living with the Aftermath
This very moving book on the shifting patterns of mourning and grief focuses on the experiences of Australian women who lost their husbands during the Second World War and the wars in Korea and Vietnam. The book makes use of extensive oral testimonies to illustrate how widows internalised and absorbed the traumas of their husband's war experience. Joy Damousi is able to demonstrate that a significant shift in attitudes towards grieving and loss came about between the mid century and the later part of the twentieth century. In charting the memory of grief and its expression, she discerns a move away from the denial and silence which shaped attitudes in the 1950s towards a much fuller expression of grief and mourning and perhaps a new way of understanding death and loss at the beginning of the new century.

Crossing Boundaries
This book brings in the focus on the borders between different contexts that need to be crossed, in the process of education. Despite the considerable efforts of various groups of researchers all over the World, it does not seem that traditional educational psychology has succeeded in illuminating the complex issues involved in the schoolfamily relationship. From a methodological perspective, there is no satisfactory explanation of the connection between representations and actual practice in educational contexts. Crossing Boundaries is an invitation to cultural psychology of educational processes to overcome the limits of existing educational psychology. Eemphasizing social locomotion and t...
Autumn Wisdom
""Compelling . . . a rare find . . . a very special gift. This book of growing older stories is must reading for all ages, especially older adults. Written in fascinating style, these stories can do more to combat ageism than any book I have read in recent years."" -- Miriam Dunson, former Associate for Older Adult Ministry, Presbyterian Church (USA) ""Most older people we have known may not have made the history books, but they have made the history--of our families, our churches, our communities, our nations. Richard Morgan teaches us to once again listen to the stories of our elders because they are our history, our real history. Morgan helps us see--through the stories and words of those...
Positive Classroom Management
This clearly written volume offers comprehensive guidance to new and student teachers on how to become more effective in classroom management and instruction. From his extensive experience as a teacher, principal and teacher trainer, Robert DiGiulio proposes a positive, constructive approach to instruction as opposed to the use of blame, threats, rules, rewards or punishments. Topics discussed include: how positive classroom management promotes prosocial behaviour; strategies which foster respect and cooperation; instructional methods which promote student success; and what to do (and not do) when faced with student misconduct. The book also features useful checklists and exercises to improve teaching skills.
Educate, Medicate, Or Litigate?
This book explores factors that contribute to antisocial behavior among students and reviews the literature on preventing and responding to antisocial behavior. Chapter 1, "A Culture of Violence," links the widespread perception that school violence is increasing to a broader culture of violence. Schools are increasingly turning to medication and litigation to respond to antisocial behaviors. Chapter 2, "Myths and Realities: Schools, Violence, and Antisocial Behavior," examines prominent myths about school violence, including the views that schools are violent and unsafe, violence is increasing, only punitive solutions work, and security measures alone can effectively control violence. Chapt...
