Your guide to grow and flourish as a science teacher!The past two decades have seen a paradigm shift in science education, thanks in large part to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which advocate a move away from procedural lab investigations and direct instruction and toward increased emphasis on reasoning, sensemaking, phenomena exploration, problem solving, and collaboration. Under this new paradigm, students are learning real science as scientists practice it, so that more and more students are actively investigating questions and pursuing solutions of their own making. As part of the Five to Thrive series for early-career educators, this comprehensive guide provides those who are new to teaching science, as well as seasoned teachers looking to enhance their practice, the fundamentals to develop best teaching practices that reflect their students' experiences and requirements.Written by experienced science educators, Answers to Your Biggest Questions About Teaching Secondary Science provides practical guidance on successful strategies and techniques for teaching science in a way that gives every student the opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve at high levels, while providing opportunities to develop their agency and authority in the classroom, ultimately resulting in a positive science identity.The book is organized around five overarching questions and answers that will help you most thrive in your secondary science classroom: How do I build a positive science community? How do I structure, organize, and manage my science class? How do I engage my students in science? How do I help my students talk about science? How do I know what my students know and how can I use that information to plan and move them forward?The book concludes with a sixth question-Where do I go from here?-that provides guidance for growing your practice over time, including discussions on self-care, advocating for students, and an extensive discussion on growing your professional network.Woven throughout, yoüll find helpful sidebar notes on fostering identity and agency; access and equity; teaching in different settings; and invaluable resources for deeper learning.Strive to become the best science educator you can be; your students are counting on it!
Chronicling the polarized partisan environment during the President Donald Trump's term, Congress and the Nation 2017-2020, Vol. XV will be the most authoritative reference on congressional lawmaking and trends during the 115th and 116th Congresses. Congress and the Nation is a unique reference product, rivaled only by the annual editions of the CQ Almanac in its coverage of the legislative and policymaking activities of the U.S. national legislature. After its original publication in the mid-1960s in a one-volume work covering 20 years (1945-1965) of lawmaking, the succeeding editions (vols. II - XIII) have been focused on 4 years of lawmaking activity under succeeding presidential administrations. Each new quadrennial edition is organized into 14 policy-centered chapters (economy, homeland security [since vol. XI], foreign policy, defense policy, energy and environment, health, etc.) and two chapters that cover matters internal to Congress and the presidential administration. The policy chapters cover the major legislative activities in the two numbered congresses convened during the four year period. The result is a narrative and analytical account of the lawmaking by the U.S. Congress that provides students, scholars and journalists with a digestible and accurate retrospective accounts difficult to find or reconstruct from news media, as well as longer term historical perspective of congressional lawmaking. This is a landmark series for CQ Press that has proven its value among librarians for decades

In this book, Di Gammage & Robert Dighton explore the fundamental question - what is play? Drawing on the theories most relevant to the therapeutic uses of this powerful healing medium and elucidated with vivid case studies, An Introduction to Play Therapy arrives at a working definition of person-centred play therapy. An ongoing, in-depth case study of the healing journey of a child is studied throughout the book, demystifying the therapeutic relationship and process of change that occurs. Particular attention is given to defining this approach as person-centred rather than child-centred in recognition of the therapist's own process of change and its effect upon the child. The supervision of a play therapist is included, illustrating the need for transparency, humility and enquiry in this professional endeavour. Finally, the authors look to the future of play therapy, its wider potential for improving the quality of children's lives and the areas ripe for research and development. This is an inspiring introduction to play therapy. Its clarity makes it accessible and highly relevant to all professionals and trainees concerned with the well-being of children. It also has much offer the experienced play therapist or child psychotherapist in its respectful provocation of current practice.
