"Emotional disturbance is arguably the most subjective IDEA disability category and one of the most difficult to assess. In this unique resource, a school attorney and a school psychologist combine relevant case law with legally aligned assessment practices -- leading to sound identification and evaluation decisions."--

Art in the Primary School is an introductory textbook, and a second edition to Teaching Primary Art, exploring the underpinning philosophy and pedagogy of teaching and learning art, including how and why digital tools and technologies can be integrated. This book considers practical aspects of teaching art, focusing on key processes of art making that children might experience in primary schools. It is based around the idea that digital tools and technologies can and should be integrated into the learning and teaching of art, exploring: What art is like in the primary school, why it should be taught and what is included in the curriculum How learning is planned, assessed, taught and supported in the classroom Learning about and from artists and how digital technology can be part of the art curriculum Key processes such as drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and textiles, working in three dimensions and making digital art Uniquely incorporating the use of digital devices, tools and technologies into the subject of art, this book will be essential reading for those training to teach and support learning in art in the primary school.

Gorman Cave in Colorado Bend State Park, Texas is a hibernaculum for a population of nearly 500 eastern pipistrelles (Perimyotis subflavus). This study conducted from 1995-98 addressed different stages of torpor during winter hibernation by eastern pipistrelles. The effects of gender and environmental variables on the internal temperature and sex ratio were assessed. Bats in hibernation are known for leaving and returning to stages of torpor. Gender had no apparent effect on the internal temperature of eastern pipistrelles and any variation in internal temperature was more of a synergistic effect of environmental variables of which the strongest effects were distance from entrance of the cave, ambient temperature of roost site, and sampling time. The sex ratio of eastern pipistrelles in the hibernaculum was determined to be 1:1 and occasionally was disproportionately skewed toward females--Abstract.

This comprehensive, quantitative assessment of how injury sustained by service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan affects their subsequent labor market earnings also explores the extent to which retirement and disability payments compensate for any resulting earnings losses. The analysis controls for a rich array of individual-level characteristics, including labor market outcomes prior to deployment.

Improving teacher quality in P-12 mathematics is a national need, and many universities and schools are working to address it. With the support of the National Science Foundation (NSF), twelve math and science institutes across the country are helping P-12 teachers strengthen their capacity to support students' learning. These NSF Institutes operate under the leadership of STEM university faculty, representing colleges of arts and science as well as colleges of education. The strategy is to build capacity by improving teachers' content knowledge, pedagogy, and leadership skills. One such venture is The Math in the Middle Institute Partnership (M2) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). As part of their efforts to understand the place of rural in M2, the research team systematically interviewed the 63 rural participants from the first three cohorts in summer 2006. During those 30-60 minute interviews they asked participants about the contexts in which they teach, their professional roles and responsibilities, and circumstances that influence their teaching. They soon found that teachers they called "rural" did not necessarily refer to themselves that way, and sometimes even teachers from the same town did not agree on whether or not to call themselves rural.
