Conducting Behavioral and Social-Emotional Assessments in MTSS: Screen to Intervene (Paperback)

In this book David McNeill illuminates Plato s distinctive approach to philosophy by examining how his literary portrayal of Socrates manifests an essential interdependence between philosophic and ethical inquiry. In particular McNeill demonstrates how Socrates s confrontation with profound ethical questions about his public philosophic activity is the key to understanding the distinctively mimetic dialogic and reflexive character of Socratic philosophy. Taking a cue from Nietzsche s account of the problem of Socrates McNeill shows how the questions Nietzsche raises are questions that in Plato s depiction Socrates was aware of and responded to. McNeill also shows how the Republic provides a view of Socratic moral psychology that resembles Nietzsche s account of human psychology: it deals with the internalized ethical narratives and justificatory schemes through which human beings orient themselves to their world. McNeill argues that this moral psychology not only determines Socrates s explicit account of different character types and political regimes but also crucially informs his dialectical engagements with his various interlocutors in the dialogues. In addition to contributing a unique perspective to current debates about Socrates s philosophic methods and the significance of the literary character of Plato s dialogues the book offers a far-reaching interpretation of Plato s presentation of the theoretical and practical activities of the fifth-century Sophists. And in showing how Plato responds to modern theoretical challenges McNeill provides new evidence to question standard views of the differences between ancient and modern conceptions of the self society and nature.

You can t really tell what time it is when you re in the freezer. Every year thousands of migrant children and teens cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The journey is treacherous and sometimes deadly but worth the risk for migrants who are escaping gang violence and poverty in their home countries. And for those refugees who do succeed? They face an immigration process that is as winding and multi-tiered as the journey that brought them here. In this book award-winning Mexican author Juan Pablo Villalobos strings together the diverse experiences of eleven real migrant teenagers offering readers a beginning road map to issues facing the region. These timely accounts of courage sacrifice and survival - including two fourteen-year-old girls forming a tenuous friendship as they wait in a frigid holding cell a boy in Chicago beginning to craft his future while piecing together his past in El Salvador and cousins learning to lift each other up through angry waters - offer a rare and invaluable window into the U.S.–Central American refugee crisis. In turns optimistic and heartbreaking The Other Side balances the boundless hope at the center of immigration with the weight of its risks and repercussions. Here is a necessary read for young people on both sides of the issue.

At sixteen Kenn Kaufman dropped out of the high school where he was student council president and hit the road hitching back and forth across America from Alaska to Florida Maine to Mexico. Maybe not all that unusual a thing to do in the seventies but what Kenn was searching for was a little different: not sex drugs God or even self but birds. A report of a rare bird would send him hitching nonstop from Pacific to Atlantic and back again. When he was broke he would pick fruit or do odd jobs to earn the fifty dollars or so that would last him for weeks. His goal was to set a record - most North American species seen in a year - but along the way he began to realize that at this breakneck pace he was only looking not seeing. What had been a game became a quest for a deeper understanding of the natural world. Kingbird Highway is a unique coming-of-age story combining a lyrical celebration of nature with wild and sometimes dangerous adventures starring a colorful cast of characters.

Pursuing Professional Development : The Self As Source

Clay can be a metaphor for many things. I made it a metaphor for flesh and earth. --Stephen De Staebler Over the course of a fifty-year career Stephen De Staebler (1933-2011) created powerful elegiac figurative sculptures in clay and bronze. Extending and assimilating an artistic lineage that includes Michelangelo Auguste Rodin and Alberto Giacometti as well as the art of the ancient Americas Egypt and Greece De Staebler developed a sculptural vocabulary uniquely his own. A resident of the San Francisco Bay Area since the late 1950s De Staebler was among the first students of the legendary Peter Voulkos at the University of California Berkeley. In conjunction with the Bay Area Figurative movement De Staebler helped to infuse the existentialist agenda of Abstract Expressionism with a profound humanism. Illuminating the significance of De Staebler s practice as never before curator Timothy Anglin Burgard analyzes the artist s major pieces. Poet and critic Rick Newby sketches a biographical portrait of the sculptor and renowned art historian Dore Ashton offers a moving tribute to the artist with whom she was a lifelong friend. Produced in collaboration with the artist and his estate this authoritative volume --published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco--offers an unprecedented glimpse into the sculptor s studio and process.

The boundaries separating Literary Studies from other kinds of humanistic inquiry are more permeable now than at any moment since the Enlightenment when disciplinary categories began to acquire their modern definition. The Forms of Renaissance Thought celebrates scholarship at a number of these frontiers. The contributors address works of the European Renaissance as they relate both to the textured world of their origins and to a modern scholarly culture that turns to the early moderns for methodological provocation and renewal. In this way the volume charts the most important developments in the field since the turn towards cultural and ideological features of the Renaissance imagination.
