Founder's Pocket Guide

Researchers in education and social science have worried for decades over how to study multiple cases of the same phenomena and come up with viable conclusions.  Robert Stake's careful analysis lays out the problems, the pitfalls, and the dangers of such an enterprise, and provides masterful, amply illustrated, easily understood, and reproducible solutions.  All of us who study multiple sites will be grateful for this enormous gift, which analyzes and teaches simultaneously.--Howard S. Becker, PhD, author of  Writing for Social Scientists and Tricks of the Trade&#8220;Stake does it again: takes up a murky research problem, such as how to integrate multiple case studies that do or don&#8217;t have a common subject, and shows us how to solve it.  This book could be the basis for a superb graduate seminar or simply the 'manual' for a research team facing a dozen piles of results from case studies.  It would also be excellent supplementary reading for a course in qualitative research methods that would provide students with an appreciation of the difficulties and possibilities of drawing conclusions from words.&#8221;--Les McLean, PhD, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (Emeritus), University of Toronto, CanadaThis book fills a major gap in the qualitative research and evaluation literature.  Although multicase studies are a commonly used strategy, I know of no published work that provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and practical guide to the conduct of such studies.  The book embodies the author&#8217;s extensive experience and deep understanding of this approach, and manages to be both groundbreaking and user-friendly.  The detailed examples of case studies are a major strength of the book.  This book would be appropriate as a textbook for advanced courses in qualitative or case study research, and also as a guide and resource for practicing researchers and evaluators.--Joseph A. Maxwell, PhD, Graduate School of Education, George Mason UniversityStake offers a very detailed, honest, and perceptive account of the methodology of cross-case analysis, and the dilemmas of generating both the 'case' and the 'generalization.'--Research Professor Ian Stronach, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UKStake's book provides the reader with hands-on experience in doing multicase research, offering theoretical insights, useful worksheets, and technical detail. The international Step by Step Early Childhood program implemented in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia is an ideal study area, with rich contextual data furnishing glimpses of the complexities of changing the patterns and ingrained practices of educational systems.--Henriette Heimgaertner, Bernard van Leer Foundation, The Hague, The Netherlands-

Multiple Case Study Analysis

Bringing Words to Life is, without doubt, one of the best and most influential books ever published on the topic of teaching and developing vocabulary. The second edition is even better than the first--it addresses recent issues such as the Common Core and RTI; provides a greater number of helpful, practical examples; addresses vocabulary and writing; takes on the challenge of providing effective vocabulary instruction for struggling readers and English learners; and offers guidance for teaching math, science, and social studies vocabulary in the intermediate grades. This book should be required reading for anyone seeking teacher or reading specialist certification.--John Pikulski, PhD, Department of Educational Development (Emeritus), University of DelawareThis is a book teachers will read, reread, and refer to many times to nurture a love of language through joyful, robust vocabulary instruction. The authors' research-based insights and advice about selecting words and systematically presenting them to learners from all backgrounds are both practical and manageable. Teachers will delight in nurturing a language-rich classroom where students revel in language, read better and deeper, speak effectively, and write with purpose and clarity.--Mary Anne Rossbach, MEd, sixth-grade teacher, Fairfax County (Virginia) Public SchoolsIt's hard to believe, but the second edition of Bringing Words to Life is even more comprehensive than the first. Beck, McKeown, and Kucan have outdone themselves. Containing real-life examples and easy-to-implement strategies, this book is a 'must have' for vocabulary instruction. It will help teachers greatly as they work to meet the Common Core Standards.--Nancy Betler, EdD, Talent Development Facilitator, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, North Carolina; Adjunct Professor, School of Graduate and Continuing Education, Wingate UniversityPerhaps the most distinctive feature of this book is its personal touch--reading it is like having a conversation with the authors about robust vocabulary instruction. The authors share their decision making, offer warnings about potential challenges, encourage thoughtful planning, and insist on follow-through. Teachers are amply supported in their learning by the 'Your Turn' and 'You Try It' features, whether working on their own or in a course on literacy instruction. This is a book designed by teachers for teachers.--Joanne F. Carlisle, PhD, School of Education, University of MichiganThe book offers elementary, middle, and high school teachers concrete suggestions for choosing words and teaching them to students. New chapters in the second edition provide important updates for teachers who are data driven, who have students of varying ability levels and language backgrounds, and who focus on the reading-writing connection. Like the first edition, this book will make a significant contribution to teacher preparation and professional development. Specific recommendations for practice are illustrated with detailed examples of teachers implementing robust vocabulary instruction in their classrooms.--Rebecca Silverman, EdD, College of Education, University of Maryland, College Park-One of the 10 Books Every Teacher Should Read--The Guardian, 8/15/2017

Robust Vocabulary Instruction

Bringing Words to Life, Second Edition

The nigger of the Narcissus

This exceptionally comprehensive and accessible volume will be of value as a text in programs preparing early childhood educators, as a basis for professional development, and as a handy resource for early childhood researchers. In addition, it provides a solid research basis for effective arguments to policymakers and the public about the importance of high-quality early childhood programs for children's development and later academic achievement.--Catherine E. Snow, PhD, Henry Lee Shattuck Professor of Education, Harvard UniversityA 'must have' for early childhood educators. This volume helps the reader keep abreast of the diverse knowledge bases that underlie the teaching of young children, and shows how applying research and theory can aid in preparing children for school. Coverage includes basic neural changes in infancy, typical socioemotional development, the effects of relationships and culture, and teaching and learning in specific content areas. The chapters provide a solid framework for novices and a terrific catch-up for seasoned professionals, with excellent bibliographies and cross-references. Barbarin, Wasik, and company have done the field a great service.--Barbara Bowman, MA, Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development, Erikson Institute, Chicago, IllinoisThis handbook fills a unique niche by bringing together the best of developmental science with the best of early education. By taking a biopsychosocial approach, it provides the reader with the latest science relevant to early education. The benefits of this information are amplified by educators proposing specific recommendations for the translation of developmental research into more effective educational practice during the preschool and early school years.--Arnold J. Sameroff, PhD, Center for Human Growth and Development, University of Michigan-The range of this text is tremendous and the scholarship that underpins it is impressive....In an area that is seeing a proliferation of edited collections presented as handbooks this text stands out for its vision in linking through new theoretical developments and theorized pedagogical developments. It will serve as a resource for all engaged with early years professionals, as a standby for academics, and a must for those engaging with early childhood education as students. My students will have to buy their own because mine is staying close to me, it will serve me as a teaching resource and an inspiration for my future professional work.--Educational Review, 7/10/2009ƒƒCohesively and clearly summarizes current research from developmental psychology and also offers concrete suggestions for how to incorporate this information into appropriate learning experiences for young children....The book should be of interest not only to educational psychologists, early childhood educators, and graduate students in these areas, but also to those involved with educational administration and policy making. It is comprehensive, detailed, accurate, and easily understandable—a rare combination. It takes a biopsychosocial approach, bringing together current research from education, psychology, and other developmental sciences.--PsycCRITIQUES, 7/10/2009ƒƒThe editors and contributors address many of the questions, tensions, and controversies in contemporary early childhood education through the synthesis of research in developmental science. A powerful overall theme framed by the editors and echoed by the contributors is that science and education would be served well by more and better engagement; educators would more effectively support children's learning with better understanding of child development theory and research, and researchers would be more adept at defining and studying problems when informed by children in classrooms. This recommendation is more than abstract, however, as each chapter contains specific recommendations based on research evidence....Researchers, graduate students, teacher preparation faculty, and administrators of educational systems would likely appreciate and benefit from what the Handbook has to offer.--Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 7/10/2009ƒƒFills the void for a compilation of empirically validated early learning classroom practices which take into account the individual needs of developing children....Although the chapters are interrelated, each one is self-contained with its own theoretical framework for understanding early learning and development from a socio-cognitive perspective....Makes a good literature review resource for researchers and graduate students in Child Development and Early Education....The breadth of issues covered by this handbook makes it a valuable resource for child related professionals such as K-3 practitioners, reading specialists, developmental and educational psychologists, early education policy makers, early education faculty, researchers, and parents....The handbook may be used as a supplementary text to help teacher-education students understand how research findings and the concepts they learn in their child development classes are applicable to teaching and learning during these early years....Students taking methods courses in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Reading Education, Math Education, and Science Education will find valuable information about effective programs and instructional practices for their respective fields within the handbook. Suggestions for future research are contained within most of the chapters. Hence, graduate students and researchers seeking new directions for research in Child Development and Early Childhood Education would find the handbook a worthwhile read....The rare usage of psycho-social theories to discuss socio-emotional competence in Part III of the handbook was a refreshing change to the mostly socio-cognitive framework.--Education Review, 7/10/2009ƒƒThis authoritative text draws together important research into early childhood development. It would be of value as a text for students specializing in early years as well as teachers and other professionals engaged in higher education programmes.--SEN (Special Education Needs) Magazine, 4/14/2010

Research to Practice

Handbook of Child Development and Early Education

"This volume represents an important departure from narrow manuals for treating DSM-diagnosed disorders and deals with what the therapist actually needs to do in clinical practice. Grounded both in empirical evidence and good clinical judgment, it provides invaluable guidelines for therapists."--Marvin R. Goldfried, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Stony Brook University "Promoting Emotional Resilience presents a powerful, detailed, evidence-based brief intervention program designed to help clients both experience and cope with life stress and negative emotions. The session-by-session chapters are beautifully written, with excellent patient handouts and clinical dialogues used to demonstrate key treatment principles. Smith and Ascough are among the founders of emotional processing treatments, and their approach reflects their unparalleled breadth and depth of knowledge. This book is a perfect fit for clinicians who wish to obtain superior clinical outcomes in as few sessions as possible. Highly recommended!"--Kirk D. Strosahl, PhD, cofounder of acceptance and commitment therapy "This outstanding book by Smith and Ascough provides a set of vivid, step-by-step guidelines for delivering a brief, empirically supported stress management and emotion regulation program that is widely useful not only for psychotherapists, but also for others coaching individuals with high stress or dysfunctional fear. The book is a really valuable clinical and training resource with easy-to-follow instructions and examples. Particularly notable is the induced affect technique, a powerful skills rehearsal procedure that is unknown to many clinicians, but applicable in many forms of therapy to address emotional avoidance and dysregulation. I was so excited about the strategies that I have incorporated them into my DBT skills book, and I am sure this book will be an important training resource in our DBT workshops and in the training of our graduate students. Likewise, the theoretically derived Stress and Coping Diary is an invaluable collaborative assessment and outcome tracking tool. This book is amazing and you wont want to pass it by."--Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director Emeritus, Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, University of Washington; developer of DBT-

Praise for Triple Crown &#160; &ldquo;Felix has proven a champion storyteller. . . . Triple Crown is an engaging thriller that bursts out of the gate and maintains a good place throughout. Francis pulls back the curtain on American horse racing, giving readers what goes into getting a thoroughbred ready for the starting gate, as well as the stark differences between racing, and law enforcement, on either side of the Atlantic.&rdquo;&mdash;Mystery Scene &#160; &ldquo;Felix Francis continues the run of his &ldquo;Dick Francis novels&rdquo; (after his father) with this sixth solo racetrack mystery, and it&rsquo;s another well-crafted nail-biter&hellip; Felix Francis has his father&rsquo;s gift for deft plotting and for creating memorable characters, but his prose is much more expansive&hellip; As in all novels in the Francis line, readers will learn a great deal about horses, racetracks, and, here, the tough life of grooms.

"The term 'sex offender' has become a demonizing pejorative, depriving those who have been so labeled of even a modicum of humanity. While fully appreciating the importance of maintaining public safety, Laws and Ward rightfully and courageously remind us of the decency that is still inherent in many who have committed such an offense. The book reviews a wealth of theories and data about how best to assist such persons in their efforts to remain safe and productive citizens."--Fred S. Berlin, MD, PhD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine"Researchers and treatment specialists have long been waiting for a book on desistance from sexual offending. Laws and Ward's book is well worth the wait. From two of the most respected practitioner/researchers in the field, Desistance from Sex Offending is a paradigm changer in sex offender treatment and reintegration."--Shadd Maruna, PhD, Professor and Director, Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom"In an era of harsher sentences and stricter punishments, especially for sex offenders, this book is a breath of fresh air. Drawing on extensive clinical expertise and wisdom that comes from years of working with sex offenders, Laws and Ward provide an excellent guide to what needs to be done to help sex offenders change their lives and decrease recidivism. The Good Lives model is the future of sex offender treatment, and its concepts need to be incorporated into correctional programming. This book is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers. It would serve as a great text for courses on offender rehabilitation from a psychological or criminological perspective. Students would benefit from the excellent integration of research and theory into clinical practice, and would find the fresh perspective on rehabilitation to be eye opening."--Elizabeth L. Jeglic, PhD, Department of Psychology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice "It is rare to find a book that integrates the psychological and criminological literature, particularly in the area of sex offender treatment. This important work offers a unique analysis of current treatment methods and proposes a promising model of offender rehabilitation. The authors acknowledge the complexity of factors that lead to offending and that motivate an individual to desist from offending. Their holistic, strengths-based approach, grounded in positive psychology, addresses the needs of both the offender and the community. This book will enhance the current practice of professionals who treat sex offenders, and holds promise for shifting the focus of the field."--Pamela M. Yates, PhD, Cabot Consulting and Research Services, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada-A well-written text that advances the discussion of what we, as a society, can and should do with sex offenders....In their present work, Laws and Ward have accelerated the pace of our exploration into the study of desistance from sex offending.--PsycCRITIQUES, 10/1/2010ƒƒProvides an excellent, readable survey of the criminological literature on desistance, the age-crime curve, and offender reintegration research....This is a trailblazing book, and essential reading for clinicians, researchers, academicians, attorneys, and anyone interested in the application of desistance theory to sex-offender rehabilitation.--Open Access Journal of Forensic Psychology, 10/1/2010ƒƒPractitioners will welcome the more applied nature of the second half of this work with its focus on what the interview and interventions skills and approaches might look like if they adopted a more integrated GLM and desistance approach. The bringing together of theory and practice relies heavily on the work related to the use of life course interviews. Readers will find clear and specific links back to the underpinning theory that informs what is being put forward. They will also find three short case studies used to illustrate how the model might work....Makes an important contribution to theory and policy and should help promote much needed debate about what works with such offenders and what harm some current approaches may be causing offenders and wider society.--Probation Journal, 10/1/2010ƒƒProvides an accessible introduction to cutting-edge efforts to rehabilitate sex offenders.--California Lawyer, 6/3/2011
