Book Description
Differentiation is a goal for teachers who believe in meeting every child's needs through responsive teaching. Gifted, talented, and exceptionally conscientious adolescents (GTECs) have needs very different from those of other students - as well as from one another. In Ready, Willing, and Able Dagny Bloland describes how to mix proven strategies for differentiation with innovative instruction to help GTECs make the most of their learning, whether your classroom is officially labeled gifted, advanced placement, or honors or sprinkled with extra-capable kids. Teachers and administrators often fall back on the belief that especially capable students can essentially teach themselves, that they don't need careful scaffolding and planning as much as other students do. Ready Willing, and Able explodes that myth and replaces it with practical ideas about how to challenge academically talented teens. Bloland helps you identify the types of students who enroll in honors, gifted, and accelerated classes, tells you what their needs typically include, and suggests ways to best use their diversity of skills and abilities for teaching and learning. Combining the basic tenets of gifted education with student-centered and learning-centered approaches to secondary English, she demonstrates how to create challenging curriculum in reading, literature, writing, language, and discussion, while also providing guidelines for assessment, and, yes, grading. With innovative instruction, a solid grounding in smart, progressive educational practice, and years of experience, Dagny Bloland shows you that teaching high-capacity, high-willingness students requires a careful consideration of your teaching and an equally careful consideration of their needs. Because when it comes to GTEC students, you've got to be as Ready, Willing, and Able as they are to discover the educational heights they can reach.

Book Description
How can an understanding of adolescent development inform strategies and practices for supporting first-generation college goers? In Ready, Willing, and Able, Mandy Savitz-Romer and Suzanne Bouffard focus on the developmental tasks and competencies that young people need to develop in order to plan for and succeed in higher education. These include identity development, articulating aspirations and expectations, forming and maintaining strong peer and adult relationships, motivation and goal-setting, and self-regulatory skills, such as planning. The authors challenge the predominant approach of giving young people information and leaving it to them to figure out how to apply it. They show how well-intended college-access efforts can miss the mark—for instance, by focusing on students who already see themselves as college material, rather than working to help all students develop a “college-going identity.” In addition, most college-access programs and practices focus almost exclusively on providing academic preparation and financial support. In Ready, Willing, and Able, Savitz-Romer and Bouffard call for a new approach: one that emphasizes the key developmental tasks and processes of adolescence and integrates them into existing college-access practices in meaningful ways. Rather than treating young people as passive recipients of services, they argue, adults can engage them as active agents in the construction of their own futures.

Book Description
This volume is part of an effort to review what is known about the determinants of fertility transition in developing countries and to identify lessons that might lead to policies aimed at lowering fertility. It addresses the roles of diffusion processes, ideational change, social networks, and mass communications in changing behavior and values, especially as related to childbearing. A new body of empirical research is currently emerging from studies of social networks in Asia (Thailand, Taiwan, Korea), Latin America (Costa Rica), and Sub-Saharan Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Ghana). Given the potential significance of social interactions to the design of effective family planning programs in high-fertility settings, efforts to synthesize this emerging body of literature are clearly important.

Book Description
Anytime, anyplace, Ethan Crane's your man. An agent's agent, he's tough, smart, and fearless. Exactly the guy you want when the stuff hits the fan--and the kind Beth Whitney avoids like the plague. It took a fiancé in the business to teach her, but she's learned her lesson: Don't. Date. Agents. It's this rule that's kept her employed at the agency, doing her part for world security from behind a desk. So when a case throws the two together, Beth's determined to keep it strictly professional. So far, so good--except for the steamy kisses, the red-hot phone sex, and. . .What was that rule again? To Ethan, Beth couldn't be less his type if her father ran the agency, which, oh yeah, he does. Still he can't help but find her work in the field a total turn on. Off the field it's even better. But hot pursuit of a notorious information broker is what they should focus on--not each other. That can wait until they've accomplished a job well done. Or can it?
