Frank M Gresham Libri

Schools often resort to ineffective, punitive interventions for the 10% of K-8 students whose challenging behavior interferes with their own and their classmates' learning. This book fills a crucial need by describing ways to provide meaningful supports to students with disruptive behavior disorders. Prominent authority Frank M. Gresham weaves together current research, assessment and intervention guidelines, and illustrative case studies. He reviews a broad range of evidence-based practices and offers recommendations for selecting, implementing, and evaluating them within a multi-tiered framework. Coverage includes school- and home-based approaches, multicomponent programs, prevention strategies, and social skills training.

Quando Anne inizia il suo diario, nel giugno 1942, ha appena compiuto tredici anni. Poche pagine, e all'immagine della scuola, dei compagni e di amori piú o meno immaginari, si sostituisce la storia della lunga clandestinità: giornate passate a pelare patate, recitare poesie, leggere, scrivere, litigare, aspettare, temere il peggio. «Vedo noi otto nell'alloggio segreto come se fossimo un pezzetto di cielo azzurro circondati da nubi nere di pioggia», ha il coraggio di scrivere Anne. Obbedendo a una sicura vocazione di scrittrice, Anne ha voluto e saputo lasciare testimonianza di sé e dell'esperienza degli altri clandestini. La prima edizione del Diario subí tuttavia non pochi tagli, ritocchi, variazioni. Ora il testo è stato restituito alla sua integrità originale, e ci consegna un'immagine nuova: quella di una ragazza vera e viva, ironica, passionale, irriverente, animata da un'allegra voglia di vivere, già adulta nelle sue riflessioni. Questa edizione, a cura di Frediano Sessi offre anche una ricostruzione degli ultimi mesi della vita di Anne e della sorella Margot, sulla base di testimonianze e documenti raccolti in questi anni.
