Reshaping Remedial Education (Routledge Library Editions: Special Educational Needs #50)
by Geof SewellFirst published in 1982. After the economic crises of the late seventies and early eighties, remedial education was affected particularly badly. Due to lack of funding, a child had to be labelled and diagnosed before they could receive any remedial education. For some children this labelling produced unintended and destructive consequences. The author examines this context of failure, and analyses various approaches to remedial education.

Residential Education as an Option for At-Risk Youth
by Jerome Beker Doug MagnusonResidential Education as an Option for At-Risk Youth explores recent residential programs in Israel, draws comparisons with their European counterparts, and recommends practical approaches for the revitalization of such programs in the United States. This volume refutes the conventional professional “wisdom” in the United States that residential group care programs for children and youth are intrinsically flawed and counterproductive. Instead, it delivers effective models for the implementation of effective residential services. The editors and authors demonstrate the growing need for residential programs, given the overburdened family foster care resources, swelling numbers of “zero-parent” families, and homeless youth. Though the United States helped launch and develop residential services in Europe in the aftermath of World War II and has produced many excellent thinkers in the domain of quality residential group care, American programs have languished in recent decades. This book is designed to accelerate and facilitate progress in revamping and establishing excellent residential group care. The authors examine residential education as a developmentally based alternative to the more clinically and correctionally oriented programs for marginal children and youth dominating this field in the United States.The authors present their material in the context of appropriate theoretical principles, yet in practical ways that will permit program developers and managers to implement it effectively. Some of the specific areas chapters discuss are: exemplary Israeli programs as observed by visiting American professional in social work and allied fields important program variables and the cultural influences that may affect them African American experience for such programs a conceptual model for building successful residential education programs key organizational and management considerationsResidential Education as an Option for At-Risk Youth serves as a vital resource for ambitious program developers and managers wishing to reconceptualize and enrich their programs. It will also benefit advanced students, practitioners, and decision makers who have had, heretofore, few resources to rely on when seeking to promote more effective programs for socially marginal children and youth.

Residential Schools and Indigenous Peoples: From Genocide via Education to the Possibilities for Processes of Truth, Restitution, Reconciliation, and Reclamation (Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education)
by Stephen James MintonResidential Schools and Indigenous Peoples provides an extended multi-country focus on the transnational phenomenon of genocide of Indigenous peoples through residential schooling. It analyses how such abusive systems were legitimised and positioned as benevolent during the late nineteenth century and examines Indigenous and non-Indigenous agency in the possibilities for process of truth, restitution, reconciliation, and reclamation. The book examines the immediate and legacy effects that residential schooling had on Indigenous children who were removed from their families and communities in order to be ‘educated’ away from their ‘savage’ backgrounds, into the ‘civilised’ ways of the colonising societies. It brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia, Greenland, Ireland, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States in telling the stories of what happened to Indigenous peoples as a result of the interring of Indigenous children in residential schools. This unique book will appeal to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of Indigenous studies, the history of education and comparative education.
Residential Schools and Reconciliation: Canada Confronts Its History
by J. R. MillerSince the 1980s successive Canadian institutions, including the federal government and Christian churches, have attempted to grapple with the malignant legacy of residential schooling, including official apologies, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). In Residential Schools and Reconciliation, award winning author J. R. Miller tackles and explains these institutional responses to Canada’s residential school legacy. Analysing archival material and interviews with former students, politicians, bureaucrats, church officials, and the Chief Commissioner of the TRC, Miller reveals a major obstacle to achieving reconciliation – the inability of Canadians at large to overcome their flawed, overly positive understanding of their country’s history. This unique, timely, and provocative work asks Canadians to accept that the root of the problem was Canadians like them in the past who acquiesced to aggressively assimilative policies.
Resilience Enhancement in Social Work Practice: Anti-Oppressive Social Work Skills and Techniques
by Nancy Greene Roberta Greene Connie CorleyAs people around the globe experience more civil unrest and environmental disruption, the difficulties social workers face in their practice are becoming increasingly complex. This textbook deepens and expands the resilience-enhancing stress model (RESM) skill set and techniques so that social workers can more effectively serve clients and constituencies who are trying to overcome the stress of difficult life transitions and challenging environmental demands. It is designed as a companion piece to A Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: A Social Work Multisystemic Practice Approach (Springer, 2022). The intent of the RESM is to further expand social workers' practice skill sets with additional concepts from the anti-oppressive practice (AOP) and coaching literature that aligns with the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards from the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The book's 12 chapters are organized around life transitions and illustrate skills, techniques, and interviews important to the enhancement of resilience. Among the topics covered:The Resilience-Enhancing Stress Model: Articulating Anti-Oppressive PracticeExploring the Role of Cultural Diversity in Resilient Social Functioning: Theory and SkillsCountering Human Rights Violations During Life TransitionsFacilitating Community Development Following DisruptionResilience Enhancement in Social Work Practice: Anti-Oppressive Social Work Skills and Techniques uniquely offers practitioners a knowledge base to exponentiate their efficacy in identifying and fortifying resilience in a time in history when it appears to be imperative. It is written for a student social work audience at the generalist or advanced generalist level for practice across a range of populations and settings. It contains traditional and contemporary human behavior content that supports a social work narrative methodology and a life course perspective. It could be taught with its predecessor across one or two semesters. Practitioners in the field who are new to this content could also find the text a valuable resource.
Resilience In The Team: Ideas And Application Concepts For Team Development (essentials)
by Monika HuberThis essential provides insights into approaches, procedures and ideas on how resilience, understood as resistance, can be promoted and implemented in a team. Most of the time, these concepts are only applied to individuals. But many of the findings from resilience research can be transferred to teams and even extended. Today, resilience is also playing an increasingly important role in teams: whether it is to strengthen the sense of coherence according to Antonovsky's principle of salutogenesis, or to consider other resilience factors that support team capability

by Salvatore R. MADDI Deborah M. KHOSHABAThis useful resource gives you the knowledge, tools, and encouragement you need to embark on your journey to becoming a hardier, more successful person. More than experience or training, resilience in the face of stressful situations and rapid changes determines whether you ultimately succeed or fail in the workplace. It allows you to thrive even in tumultuous conditions, to turn potential disasters into growth opportunities. The good news for the legions of other workers who become overwhelmed by stress is that resilience in the face of life&’s problems is not an inborn personality trait, but a set of skills and attitudes that you can learn and develop.Packed with insightful examples, case studies, and self-assessment tools, Resilience at Work explains how to:Approach change as a meaningful challenge no matter how stressful the circumstances, and stay committed to your work, rather than detaching and giving up.Gain control by understanding the upside and the downside of change, and take actions to influence beneficial outcomes.Turn stressful changes to your advantage and map out sound problem-solving strategies.Resolve ongoing conflicts and build an environment of assistance and encouragement between you and your coworkers.Decrease feelings of isolation and powerlessness by understanding the 3Cs that give you the ability to thrive amid disruptive changes: commitment, control, and challenge.Reorganization, downsizing, mergers, budget pressures, transfers, job insecurity, and more are producing today&’s unpredictable, pressure-cooker conditions, and making it harder for less resilient people to achieve the success they deserve. Resilience at Work supplies insights and strategies you can use to combat your fear of change and uncover the opportunities that can be found in even the most stressful situations.

Faculty, staff, and administrators were also interviewed.
Resilient Teachers, Resilient Schools: Building and sustaining quality in testing times (Teacher Quality and School Development)
by Christopher Day Qing GuThis book unpicks the complex, dynamic blend of individuals’ psychological and professional assets, workplace conditions and leadership support which enable teachers who stay in teaching to continue to make a difference in their careers, regardless of shifts in policy, workplace, professional and personal circumstances. Whilst much has been written over the years about teacher stress and burnout, there is very little research which reports on the conditions which are essential for teachers to sustain their commitment and effectiveness over their professional lives, in contexts of challenge and change. Drawing upon a range of educational, psychological, socio-cultural and neuro-scientific research, together with vivid accounts from teachers in a variety of primary and secondary schools internationally, and from their own research on teachers’ work and identities, the authors discuss the dynamic nature, forms and practices of teacher resilience. They argue that resilience in teachers is not only their ability to bounce back in extremely adverse circumstances but that it is the capacity of teachers for everyday resilience which enables them to sustain their commitment and effectiveness in responding positively to the unavoidable uncertainties inherent of their professional lives. The authors conclude that resilience in teachers can be nurtured by the intellectual, social and organisational environments in which teachers work and live, rather than being simply a personal attribute or trait, determined by nature. Resilient Teachers, Resilient Schools will be of key interest to policy makers, head teachers, teachers and training and development organisations who wish to improve quality and standards in schools.
Resilienz im Team: Ideen und Anwendungskonzepte für Teamentwicklung (essentials)
by Monika HuberDieses essential gibt Einblicke in Ansätze, Vorgehensweisen und Ideen, wie sich Resilienz, verstanden als Widerstandskraft, im Team fördern und umsetzen lässt. Meist werden diese Konzepte nur auf Einzelpersonen angewendet. Doch viele der Erkenntnisse aus der Resilienzforschung lassen sich auf Teams übertragen und sogar erweitern. So spielt Resilienz heute auch in Teams eine immer größere Rolle: Sei es, um das Kohärenzgefühl nach Antonovskys Prinzip der Salutogenese zu stärken, oder um andere Resilienzfaktoren in Betracht zu ziehen, die die Teamfähigkeit unterstützen.
Resilienz und Kultur: Wie kulturelle Kontexte Resilienzprozesse bei jungen Geflüchteten prägen
by Corinna Bettina BeckersDie Monographie analysiert das Verhältnis der wissenschaftlichen Konstrukte „Resilienz“ und „Kultur“ und postuliert auf Basis ihrer empirischen Befunde wichtige Interdependenzen im Sinne einer Cultural Resilience. Kulturelle Aspekte von Bewältigung wurden in mehr als 50 Jahren Resilienzforschung nur wenig beachtet. In Abgrenzung hiervon lässt sich die Masterarbeit einordnen in eine innovative Forschungswelle, die Resilienz als kulturell eingebettet definiert. Kulturelle Resilienz wird als basaler Referenzpunkt für Interventionsdesigns bewertet, die auf effektive Förderung der Resilienzfähigkeit (junger) Geflüchteter abzielen. Die qualitative Studie, die spätestens mit dem „Sommer der Migration“ 2015 von besonderer Relevanz für Sozialarbeitswissenschaft wie Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit ist, leistet so einen Beitrag zur Bearbeitung des Forschungsdesiderates zur kulturellen Kontextabhängigkeit von Resilienz
