Trauma-Informed Practice in Montessori Classrooms
Trauma-Informed Practice in Montessori Classrooms provides important historical and contemporary evidence of the potential for Montessori schools to act as “healing” environments for children and young people. Drawing upon fascinating archival evidence and contemporary trauma theory, it shows how authentic Montessori schools already have the infrastructure to promote and embed trauma-informed practice (TIP) in their classrooms. The book provides cutting-edge, interdisciplinary knowledge on trauma and highlights its potential to negatively impact the emotional, social, and cognitive functioning of children and young people. It explains clearly and precisely the principles of TIP and how h...

International Perspectives on Parenting Support and Parental Participation in Children and Family Services

The Emotionally Intelligent College
In recent decades, there has been increasing focus on the role of formal education in empowering students’ social and moral development. A wealth of research evidence has shown that helping students to develop their social and emotional competencies can encourage students’ personal growth and can also yield benefits including increased student engagement and decreased levels of drop-out. However, much of what has been previously published in this field has focused on younger students, and there has been a lesser focus on third level students and educators. Therefore, there is a notable need for a single volume that synopsises the research that has been conducted pertaining to emotional a...
Living with Ageing and Dying
Ageing populations mean that palliative and end of life care for older people must assume greater priority. Indeed, there is an urgent need to improve the experiences of older people at the end of life, given that they have been identified as the 'disadvantaged dying'. To date, models of care are underpinned by the ideals of specialist palliative care which were developed to meet the needs of predominantly middle-aged and 'young old' people, and evidence suggests these may not be adequate for the older population group. This book identifies ways forward for improving the end of life experiences of older people by taking an interdisciplinary and international approach. Providing a synergy bet...
