Dancer Melanie Brooks had escaped small-town Oklahoma, giving up the country for Broadway's bright lights. Yet after her mother's funeral called her back, her own health issues forced her to stay. Now her tenant, too-hot-for-his-own-good Adam Benson, is giving her a reason to dance again. But has a killer set his sights on her, too? Adam knows a little something about fresh starts. As for his beautiful neighbor, he doesn't see a wheelchair--he sees a woman who understands. But as the heat grows...

"Jotham is a mentally challenged man-child who, like the other apostles, follows Jesus as Christ carries out his ministry and experiences death by crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Yet the other apostles--the dedicated Mary, Peter, Thomas, and the rest--while they care for Jotham and look out for him, don't understand why Jesus loves him so"--Page 4 of cover

Both Pre-K and K-3rd grade exceptional or talented children/students not only want but need more of an "accommodative" ambiance where their senses are given novel multiple-intelligences data so that they can continue to intellectually grow with respect to Piaget, Erickson, and Vygotsky's developmental schemes. Thus, to do this requires us to answer their queries in depth and then provide them with techniques that engage their curiosity daily.

The intent of this study was to gain a better understanding of the academic and social transition experiences of students with disabilities who had a faculty mentor in their first year of college. Although research has been conducted on...

Joe Pardee was hardheaded, trigger-quick, and the closest thing to a father Will Beeson ever had. When Joe was gunned down defending the Box P Ranch against land-hungry settlers, Will stepped in and tried to fill Joe's shoes. But Will hadn't bargained with the women in Joe's life. Sarah, Joe's widow, had lost the use of her legs in a riding accident, but she was ready to take back control of her life, starting with making Will the new foreman of the Box P. But with his dying breath, Joe had...

Inspired by a social studies unit on our country's biggest social movements, and perhaps prompted by the cafeteria's overflowing garbage cans, Arlene and her friends launch a campaign to reduce their school's carbon footprint. Like most rebellions, they face stiff opposition, in this case from principal Musgrove. While leading this revolution, Arlene finds herself marching farther away from the friend she always thought would be there

During initial instructional sessions, the teacher introduces four comprehension strategies: summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting. Then, the teacher and student read several passages that include narrative or informational text. The teacher thinks aloud while reading to model the four strategies, and the teacher also leads...

The relationship between school culture and successful inclusion has been demonstrated in the literature. Furthermore, the structure of whole school programmes in inculcating inclusive values and practices reflect evidenced based research for sustainability in professional learning and development. Research indicates that change is more sustained when...

The term "multiple disabilities" is general and broad. From the term, you cannot tell how many disabilities a child has; which disabilities are involved; or how severe each disability is. Many combinations of disabilities are possible. The different disabilities will also have a combined impact. That is why it is also important to ask: How does the combination of these disabilities affect the child's learning, balance, use of the senses, thinking, and so on? The answer will help...
