Abstract: This article tracks the attempts of three scholars to deepen the learning of students taking hybrid and on-line courses. The three scholars are in math, occupational therapy, and education - all at different institutions - but found the issues of on-line learning were the same. The question was how to create online courses that were more than boutique courses where you press a button and choose. Each used similar strategies to engage students, using technology, in a way that helped them to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Abstract: This chapter explores the possibilities of returning Dewey's philosophy of place-based, hands-on education back into the classroom as a way to allow students to gain the skills to learn how to learn across disciplines. It charts the "aha" moments of students in an environmental cooking class through the lens of the author as a participant-observer. The question: Does Dewey have a place in today's classroom? is explored via the research on reflection, project-based learning, and education.

Abstract: Every story has a context, and this begins with a general history of women in science, a discussion of what the research says, a statistical review of women in general and African Women scientists specifically, all seen through the lens of critical race theory. The findings were based on surveys and interviews highlighting the academic path for these women. We hope to apply this knowledge and share it with young African American female students who may or may not know that they have a passion and sense of curiosity befitting a future scientist because the resources and support they need are lacking based on racial biases. We embarked on this journey in the hopes that the stories of these African American female scientists would serve as a model for the way families, teachers, counselors and community activists and policy makers can participate in developing a new generation of African American female scientists.

Abstract: There has been a significant increase in the number of children who are culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) who qualify for early childhood special education (ECSE) services (Banerjee & Guiberson, 2012). The current study investigates the challenges and innovative practices in the evaluation and (ECSE) services for preschool aged children who are refugees. Twenty-eight early childhood educators who work in a small refugee resettlement community participated in a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews resulting in themes regarding challenges and innovative practices. Challenges include: lack of validated assessments, wait time for evaluations, different cultural perspectives and family advocacy. Innovative practices include: assessing skills not dependent on language and including caregivers in evaluations. Implications for future research and teacher preparation are discussed.

Abstract: The development and widespread adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) have drawn increased attention to the type of texts used in K-12 classrooms. The CCSS call for opportunities for students to engage with a wide range of complex informational as well as literary texts. In this chapter, we describe the CCSS as they relate to the use of informational texts for classroom instruction. In doing so, we make connections between the CCSS recommendations and research on informational text, and we offer some practical suggestions for implementing the CCSS in K-12 classrooms.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to introduce and explore the narrative strategy of queer blindfolding. Utilizing psycho-discursive qualitative methodology, the authors will demonstrate how some beneficent, well-intended persons who identify as heterosexual adopt the narrative strategy of queer blindfolding as they negotiate the discourse of heteronormativity. Drawing upon a case study, we will map this narrative strategy, compare and contrast it to racial colorblindness, and unpack the accompanying intra-psychic conflict and defense mechanisms that are utilized by participants. We will also demonstrate how this discursive strategy positions participants within systemic heterosexism.

Abstract: Multiple intelligence, cognitive thinking, and sensory theories provide the framework for understanding how to improve learning and learning environments for students. Research involving the use of a multimodal video game to enhance student learning is discussed. It is proposed in the chapter that multimodal and multiplayer video games make use of sensory-rich interactions to engage users, create meaningful experiences, and often facilitate communication between people located all over the world. Multiple learning theories are addressed and evaluated in order to bring to light issues and areas for investigation when designing technology-rich learning environments. Implications of the findings in relation to connections with gaming technologies, capacity for community building, and next steps for investigating ideal designs for 21st century learning environments are discussed.

Abstract: Response to Intervention (RtI) is being applied to early childhood settings for the support of positive behavior and social development through the Pyramid Model (Fox, Carta, Strain, Dunlap & Hemmeter, 2010). This qualitative study assessed the use of the Pyramid Model for preschool aged refugee children living in a refugee resettlement community. Many young refugee children have experienced trauma (George, 2010) and some experience behavior and social challenges (Almqvist & Brandell-Forsberg, 1997). Twenty-five preschool service providers were interviewed about their use of the Pyramid Model for the support of preschool refugee students. Themes to be shared include how ECEs are implementing the practices outlined in the Pyramid Model along with strategies for adapting recommended practices to meet the needs of refugee families.

Abstract: Children (N = 430) in Kenya's Kisumu District Primary Schools completed three measures of trauma. Respondents completed the My Worst Experience Scale (MWES; Hyman & Snook, 2002) and its supplement, the School Alienation and Trauma Survey (SATS; Hyman & Snook, 2002), sharing their worst experiences overall and specifically in schools. Participants also completed the Trauma and Attachment Belief Scale (TABS; Pearlman, 2003), addressing their experiences of violence. The study examined children's perceptions about themselves and others in the aftermath of violent experiences and the relationship between children's trauma symptoms from experiencing violence and their social and academic functioning. Differences in the presence, frequency, and severity of symptoms emerged, with a large percentage attaining statistical and clinical significance. Research and practice implications are provided.

Abstract: This study examined the nature of science (NOS) views of lower elementary grade level students, including their views of scientists. Participants were 23 third-grade African American students from two Midwest urban settings. A multiple instrument approach using an open-ended questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, a modified version of the traditional Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST), and a simple photo eliciting activity, was employed. The study sought to capture not only the students views of science and scientists, but also their views of themselves as users and producers of science. The findings suggest that the young African American children in this study hold very distinct and often unique views of what science is and how it operates. Included are traditional stereotypical views of scientists consistent with previous research. Additionally, participants expressed excitement and self efficacy in describing their own relationship with science, in and outside of their formal classrooms. Implications for teaching and learning NOS as it relates to young children and children of color are discussed.

Abstract: There have been many reform measures advocated in elementary education over the last several decades. These reforms have led to teachers participating in professional development experiences across the content areas in order to enhance teaching and learning. This article highlights some of the similarities between reading comprehension and mathematical problem-solving strategies. It provides examples of ways that teachers can use a common language to promote learning across subject areas and emphasizes the importance of having teachers understand pedagogical connections between reading and mathematics.

Abstract: Since Emmett Betts first devised a framework of independent, instructional, and frustration reading levels in the 1940s, these levels have played a large role in classroom assessment and instruction. It is important for teachers to have a deep understanding of the research that supports the reading level framework. This paper identifies four key assumptions upon which the reading levels are based: 1) decoding accuracy and reading comprehension are closely linked; 2) independent reading requires nearly perfect oral reading accuracy; 3) oral reading performance is a reasonable proxy for silent reading behaviors; and 4) certain levels of decoding and comprehension difficulty cause frustration. For each of these assumptions, the paper summarizes the relevant research base and discusses implications for classroom practice.

Abstract: Using a case example, the authors explore how the counseling fields participation in the discourse of heterosexist dominance fosters microaggressions toward sexual and gender-transgressive minorities. Specifically, the authors deconstruct four linguistic assumptions of the discourse of heterosexist dominance:(a) the sex/gender binary,(b) decontextualized disposition language of homophobia, (c) hierarchical disposition language of affirmation, and (d) gendered pronouns.The authors will also examine how these assumptions influence egalitarian, well-intended counselors and counseling psychologists to engage in microinvalidations of LGB and transgender clients. Implications regarding more effective practice, training, and research will be discussed.

Abstract: Implementing research-based curricula and instruction in inclusion-oriented schools is helped or hindered by having coherent models of service delivery accounting for the full range of student diversity. The current investigation offers data from 174 participants in 32 schools, analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). The findings offer replication of special education service delivery data from an earlier study, new descriptive data, and HLM analyses that identify special educator school density (the number of special educator full-time equivalents to total school population) and individual special educators Individualized Education Program (IEP) caseload size as variables predictive of special educators ratings of the conduciveness of their working conditions to providing effective special education for students on IEPs.

Abstract: Paraprofessional utilization has steadily risen in an effort to meet the needs of students with disabilities in inclusion-oriented classrooms. To date, no widely accepted processes exist to assist schools in determining when the use of paraprofessional staff is warranted. Many schools have attempted to fill this void by developing local processes designed to justify paraprofessional assignment. This article describes how justification approaches to paraprofessional decision making operate from a reactive posture, include inherently problematic criteria, and perpetuate socially constructed myths that certain students need one-to-one paraprofessionals. An alternative framework for making decisions is offered through a series of school/district- and classroom/team-level concepts and corresponding actions that can be pursed in developing proactive processes and practices tailored to local contexts.

Abstract: This 5-year multisite mixed-methods evaluation study chronicles the field-testing of the planning process Guidelines for Selecting Alternatives to Overreliance on Paraprofessionals in 26 schools (Grades K12) in six states. Evaluation of the utilization and outcomes of the guidelines process was based on data from 472 study participants. Findings highlight (a) rea- sons why schools decided to utilize the process; (b) self-assessment ratings, selected priorities, and actions pursued by the schools; (c) consumer feedback; and (d) the impact of the guidelines process in the schools. Primary areas of impact included changes in special educator caseloads and paraprofessional utilization, extension of inclusive opportunities, and improvement in classroom collaboration and practices. Implications for schools and future research are discussed.

Abstract: We used the framework identified by the National Implementation Research Networks (NIRN) analysis of 35 years of implementation outcomes literature from diverse fields of endeavor to review the current state of wraparound implementation research. Model definition, model fidelity and intervention outcomes were areas of relatively greater development, while target population, theory base and theory of change, organizational context and readiness, staff selection, training, supervision or coaching, purveyor selection, and program installation were less examined or even overlooked. We conclude with suggestions for building a research agenda on wraparound implementation.

Abstract: We describe the structure for implementation of the wraparound process within a multi-tiered system of school wide positive behavior support (SWPBS) to address the needs of the 15% of students with complex emotional/behavioral challenges. The installation of prerequisite system features that, based on a 3 year demonstration process, we consider critical to full operation of the Tier 3 wraparound intervention within a system of SWPBS is also described. We include examples of system implementation benchmarks that occur concurrently with student outcome data and are logically linked to full operation and sustainability of wraparound implementation. Challenges surrounding implementation and proposed advancements are also discussed.

- Sickle Cell Trait: Practical Considerations in managing at risk athletes! Performance Training Journal: Vol 11(1) Feb, 2012 [abstract]
Abstract: Sickle cell trait is a condition in which a person inherits a normal (Ha) and an abnormal gene (Hs) for hemoglobin (Has) versus two normal hemoglobin genes (Haa). Hemoglobin A is a normal functioning hemoglobin molecule, whereas hemoglobin S is an abnormal molecule. The hemoglobin S molecules change normally round, disc shaped, red blood cells into curved, or sickle shaped cells. These cells have an impaired ability to both flow and transport oxygen and hence the term logjam is often used to describe their clotting or bottle-necking action within the circulatory system. This can lead to rhabdomyolysis (a condition where damaged blood cells release a toxic substance myoglobin that can cause kidney failure and ultimately death). It is important to note that presence of SCT doesnt necessarily mean these events will occur. However, there is an increased likelihood that they can occur. African-Americans are most at risk for SCT and Sickle Cell Trait occurs in 8-10% of the African-American population versus less than .0002% in the Caucasian population.

Abstract: According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, the number of refugees worldwide was 10.5 million in 2009 and this number continues to grow (United Nations Refugee Agency, 2010). There is a shortage of evidence based practices and information regarding the state of service provision for young refugee children and their families in preschools and early childhood special education programs. In this qualitative study, twenty-five early childhood educators participated in semi-structured interviews about the state of service provision for refugee families and their preschool aged children with and without disabilities living in a small New England community. Themes identified were barriers and facilitators related to three main categories: special education services, communication and cultural complexities. Implications for future research, teacher preparation programs, professional development and early childhood programs are discussed.

Abstract: Social validation is the value judgment from society on the importance of a study (Wolf, 1978). The social validity of behavior goals used in the social competence intervention literature was assessed using Q-sort technique. The stimulus items were 80 different social competence behavior goals taken from 78 classroom based social competence intervention studies published between 1970 and 2000 for preschool children. Participants (N = 36) were early childhood special educators, early childhood educators, and administrators. Participants generated three distinct viewpoints concerning valued social competence behavior goals: Factor 1, reduction in negative behaviors, Factor 2, pro-social, and Factor 3, communication and good manners. Recommendations for research in the area of social competence interventions were discussed in light of these findings.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to provide information about what characteristics from the wide variety of inclusive early childhood programs are most and least valued by families and professionals. Participants (N = 20) were ten family members of young children with disabilities being served in inclusive programs and ten early childhood professionals working in inclusive programs. A combination of Q sort and qualitative research techniques were used. Participants generated one general factor solution or viewpoint concerning what characteristics of inclusive early childhood programs are the most and least valuable. Interviews provided qualitative clarification concerning why participants did or did not value certain program characteristics and information about participants beliefs concerning inclusive early childhood programs.

Abstract: We examined delinquents involvement in regrettable behaviours, their meaning-making processes and parental
engagement in preventing these behaviours. After reviewing court-record data for 109 males and females of African
descent (50 South African and 50 American youth) for data on delinquency, we interviewed 11 SA and 29 USA youth
(mean =s 16.7 years). Quantitative and content analyses were utilized to analyze interview data. SA youth engaged in
antisocial regrettable behaviours (100%); US youth engaged in antisocial (65%) and problem (35%) regrettable
behaviours. SA youth accepted responsibility for their behaviours; USA youth were unclear about acknowledging
responsibility. SA parents were more engaged in preventing regrettable behaviours than US parents.

Abstract: Literature on international experiences highlights their significant impact on the
development of cross-cultural knowledge and awareness. Using practical examples derived
from literature on multiculturalism, the multifaceted dimensions of international experi-
ences are critically reviewed as an essential process for counselors dedicated to utilizing
such experiences to enhance their cross-cultural awareness. The authors explore the
dimensions of interpersonal and intrapersonal processes, as well as the expanded sense of
identity that derives from international experiences. Using materials from the literature and
findings from research, the authors expand dialogue on the efficacy of international
experiences in contributing to cross-cultural competence.

Abstract: This study compares sexually victimized and nonsexually victimized male adolescent sexual abusers on a number of variables. Self-report measures were administered to 325 male sexually abusive youth (average age 16) in six residential facilities in the Midwest, 55% of whom reported sexual victimization. The results of this project indicate that the sexually victimized sexual abusers have more severe developmental antecedents (i.e., trauma, family characteristics, early exposure to pornography & personality) and recent behavioral difficulties (characteristics of sexual aggression, sexual arousal, use of pornography, and nonsexual criminal behavior), than the nonsexually victimized group. Results are contrasted with recent typological research, which found no relationship between sexual victimization and subtype membership. Treatment, research and theoretical implications are discussed.

Abstract: In recent years, positive organizational behavior and scholarship has emerged as a new lens for organizational analysis. The construct of organizational virtuousness, a part of positive organizational scholarship, has been examined in for-profit entities and was found to be positively linked with organizational outcomes. This case study sought to determine if organizational virtuousness was a useful construct for continuing higher education units and also to examine any relationships between organizational culture and organizational virtuousness. A quantitative case study of two university continuing education units indicates that organizational virtuousness is a useful construct for continuing education organizational analysis and is also related to organizational culture. Implications for continuing education leaders are included as well as suggestions for fostering organizational virtuousness in their organizations.

Abstract: Organizational life increasingly shapes and is shaped by the moral life of individual employees. This paper offers a fresh approach to understanding the interactions among individual moral identity, the stated and unstated organizational values, and moral development of both the individual and the organization. A new theoretical framework, The Moral Cascade Model, posits that moral stress can have outcomes that enhance both the individual and the organization (moral eustress) or be a pernicious and destructive influence through a moral distress pathway that results in moral residue. The model provides new insights into why organizations would embrace moral dissonance as a means toward an increasingly virtuous organization. Implications for individual moral identity, including the intrapersonal experiences of moral prehension, moral stress, moral distress, and moral eustress are detailed, as are organizational manifestations and consequences. Avenues for further research are explored.

Abstract: Research presented in this manuscript explored and reported student feedback concerning advisement currently provided within the professional development programs in the College of Education and Social Services (CESS) at University of Vermont. The guiding question for this research was; what do students from all four cohorts (freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors) have to say about their experiences with advisement. Results indicated awareness on the part of students regarding their developmental needs over time. In addition, respondents highlighted the importance of both relationships with advisors and a belief in the integral role advisement plays in their collegiate success. Furthermore based on student recommendations, the authors present information defining a new paradigm of advisement intended to mentor and support emerging professionals.

Abstract: Research cannot be conducted without the conscious or unconscious use of underlying theoretical perspectives. These perspectives inform methodology, guiding theory, questions pursued, and conclusions drawn. The relationship between the philosophy, theory, and methods of different research paradigms is explored in this article. Specific theoretical perspectives, critical theory, postmodernism, critical race theory, queer theory, and feminist theory are explored in the context of their political values and implications for qualitative research.

Abstract: Educational researchers who work in practice oriented fields face an obligation to widely disseminate their research findings to both practitioners and fellow researchers. The means to achieve this dissemination are varied: case studies, refereed journal articles, books, reports of empirical research, and popular press. The authors discuss the various dissemination choices and the ethical obligations connected to this activity.

Abstract: An etiological model of sexually abusive behavior including dissociation could have utility for researchers and treatment providers working with sexually abusive youth with trauma histories. This article explores relationships between dissociation, victimization, and juvenile sexual offending. Self-report data of dissociation and five types of abuse were collected from two racially/ethnically diverse groups of sexually abusive and general delinquent male adolescents (n=503). Bivariate analysis showed significant correlations between all types of child abuse and dissociation, with the exception of emotional neglect. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis indicated that dissociation was significant in predicting sexual offender status. Moreover, dissociation, sexual victimization, and physical abuse showed significant effects in predicting membership in the sexual offender group. The results confirmed the need for additional research in the areas of assessment and treatment of dissociation among sexually abusive youth.

Abstract: This article makes the case that placing the professional preparation portion of undergraduate teacher programs in a public school context benefits all personnel involved, especially when university personnel appear front and center in public school sites. Students, especially, learn to understand the context and reality of public school teaching being immersed in the actual setting in which instruction prevails. This article helped to advance the idea of professional development schools at the time of its publication.

Abstract: The authors were two members of a three person interdisciplinary methods block teaching staff. They carried out an interdisciplinary teaching project with a local alternative middle level program called The Paradise Project. University students and middle school students teamed to carry out a study of the history of selected buildings bordering City Hall Park in Burlington, VT. The study integrated content objectives from social studies, science, and mathematics. This article reports the meaningful learning that came from that study for the pre-service teachers, especially in the area of mathematical content and method.

Abstract: This article makes the case that unless the classroom learning environment is safe and comfortable and challenging, most children's learning of mathematics will be at risk. Classroom meetings are encouraged as a proven method for math teachers to establish and maintain a proper and facilitative climate for learning in the classroom. Several classroom examples are unpacked to make the point.

Abstract: This 5-year multisite mixed-methods evaluation study chronicles the field-testing of the planning process Guidelines for Selecting Alternatives to Overreliance on Paraprofessionals in 26 schools (Grades K-12) in six states. Evaluation of the
utilization and outcomes of the guidelines process was based on data from 472 study participants. Findings highlight (a) reasons
why schools decided to utilize the process; (b) self-assessment ratings, selected priorities, and actions pursued by the
schools; (c) consumer feedback; and (d) the impact of the guidelines process in the schools. Primary areas of impact included
changes in special educator caseloads and paraprofessional utilization, extension of inclusive opportunities, and improvement
in classroom collaboration and practices. Implications for schools and future research are discussed.

Abstract: Effective collaboration with paraprofessionals is an important and growing aspect of providing special education services in inclu- sive schools. We reviewed recent research on special education paraprofessional issues and practices in U.S. schools between 2000 and 2007. Major findings of 32 identified studies were summa- rized in 9 topical categories: (a) hiring and retention of parapro- fessionals, (b) training, (c) roles and responsibilities, (d) respect and acknowledgment, (e) interactions of paraprofessionals with students and staff, (f) supervision, (g) students perspectives on paraprofessional supports, (h) school change, and (i) alternatives to the use paraprofessionals. Implications and future directions are offered, including those focusing on clarifying the collabora- tive relationships among paraprofessionals and other educational team members.

- Jewiss, J. & Clark/Keefe, K. (2007). On a personal note: Practical pedagogical activities to foster the development of "reflective practitioners." American Journal of Evaluation, 28, 334-347. [abstract]
Abstract: The necessities and benefits of reflexivity are now well laid out in the broader social
science literature, and the American Evaluation Association's (2004) Guiding Principles for Evaluators identify reflective practices that evaluators are expected to carry out. This article uses
the context of the university classroom and a writing sample to demonstrate how disciplined self-reflection can help students examine personal perspectives that surface during the research process and monitor bias. Failure to develop and maintain a reflective stance can result in a variety of ethical and practical dilemmas. Fortunately, written reflections and classroom discussions can help screen for potential dilemmas and point the evaluation in more appropriate directions. A preliminary list of readings and classroom activities is included to help faculty guide students in their exploration, monitoring, and constructive use of personal perspectives.

Abstract: This chapter attempts to define the down low as a social justice issue and identify some of the causes for the phenomenon. Critical social justice theory and anti-oppressive practice (Healy, 2005; Millar, 2006) is utilized to analyze these causal factors and construct an action plan. The social work literature has been particularly active in developing antiracist paradigms, and although its integration into practice is largely an unfinished project, the robust discussion contained in these paradigms about the way racial identities have been constructed has applicability to understanding African-American men on the Down Low. The chapter also draws a correlation between the phenomenon and the rising H.I.V./AIDS infections in the African American community. One of the main challenges associated with the analysis of the Down Low phenomenon is conceptualizing a place in society where African American men can feel acknowledged and accepted, regardless of their sexual orientation. This chapter concludes with an action plan based on anti-oppressive pedagogy and practice, and a case study, for understanding and addressing the issue of the Down Low phenomenon.

Abstract: Social capital theory has become a subject of strong interest for a wide variety of academic disciplines. However, the theory has often been used in sweeping generalizations to describe accessing resources. This has created a diluted or simplified version of the original theories. In the first section of the paper, some of the leading theories of social capital and their proponents are presented to better conceptualize social capital. In the second portion of the paper, a developmental model of social capital in youth is advanced, and implications for social work practice are offered.

Abstract: This article describes the process and outcome of a qualitative exploration of group
co-leader relationships over a 16-week period. Results from this investigation gen-
erated theoretical conceptualizations regarding how co-leaders experience and per-
ceive their relationships as they lead groups. The descriptions of these co-leaders
illuminated the influences of complex reflective processes on co-leader reactions
and interactions and on processes in which co-leaders engage to evaluate the
quality of their relationships. Five themes emerged in the data relative to group
co-leader relationship development. These themes are outlined, their implications

Abstract: Wraparound is a team-based service planning and coordination process intended to improve outcomes for children and youth with serious emotional and behavioral disorders and support them in their homes, schools, and communities. Given the substantial resources devoted to implementing wraparound, a meta-analysis of outcome studies was conducted to better understand current empirical support for this process. A literature search identified seven studies between 1986 and 2008 that documented the effects of youth receiving wraparound compared to control groups. Mean treatment effects across outcome domains ranged from medium for youth living situation (0.44) to small for mental health outcomes (0.31), overall youth functioning (0.25), school functioning (0.27), and juvenile justice related outcomes (0.21). The overall mean effect size across studies was 0.33. Interpretation of results was complicated by the lack of consistent documentation of implementation fidelity across studies and conditions, variations in target population and intended outcomes, and methodological concerns. The authors conclude that, though the published wraparound research base is expanding and findings are largely positive, it continues to be in a preliminary state of development. However, there are insufficient data to support calls for wraparound's acceptance or dismissal based on the strength of existing studies.

Abstract: Objective: Abnormalities of attention are considered the fundamental deficits in cognitive function manifested by patients with schizophrenia. The authors administered variations of two types of cognitive tasks to patients with schizophrenia (N=20) and normal comparison
subjects (N=30) to test four possible cognitive mechanisms that might account for such abnormalities.
Method: Variations of the Continuous Performance Test were used to test the four mechanisms. Stimulus-response mapping was explored by comparing results on a task in which subjects were to make a response if the word "nine" was preceded by the word "one" with results
on a task in which the required response was made explicit by the stimulus (the word "ready" followed by the word "press"). The building up of a prepotent response tendency was tested by manipulating the probability with which the cue and imperative stimulus appeared (17% or 50%). The amount of working memory required to maintain contextual information was tested by using different delay intervals (1000 msec and
3000 msec). The extent to which problems in vigilance might be attributable to problems in the "motoric" component of response readiness was operationalized by having subjects perform a secondary motor task concurrent with the attentional task.
Results: Patients with schizophrenia performed significantly worse than the normal comparison subjects on all tasks. However, none of the four manipulations of the Continuous Performance Test tasks had a differential impact on the patients' performance speed or accuracy. In contrast, there was a significant interaction of group, delay interval, and target probability in which patients made disproportionately more omission errors at short delay intervals and at low target probabilities.
Conclusions: The findings may call into question the explanatory power of certain well-known contemporary mechanistic accounts of performance on the Continuous Performance Test in patients with schizophrenia. The findings suggest that a difficulty in rapidly encoding information (i.e., constructing a representation) in certain "unengaging" situations may be at the core of deficits on tasks associated with this attentional test.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 71, 587-600. doi: 10.1037/0022-006X.71.3.587 [abstract]
Abstract: This article presents an experimental evaluation of the Family Bereavement Program (FBP), a 2-component group intervention for parentally bereaved children ages 816. The program involved separate groups for caregivers, adolescents, and children, which were designed to change potentially modifiable risk and protective factors for bereaved children. The evaluation involved random assignment of 156 families (244 children and adolescents) to the FBP or a self-study condition. Families participated in assessments at pretest, posttest, and 11-month follow-up. Results indicated that the FBP led to improved parenting, coping, and caregiver mental health and to reductions in stressful events at posttest.
At follow-up, the FBP led to reduced internalizing and externalizing problems, but only for girls and those who had higher problem scores at baseline.

Abstract: In this article, the authors describe the development, psychometric characteristics, and potential utility of the Wraparound Fidelity Index (WFI), a multi-informant measure designed to assess providers adherence during service delivery to the essential elements of wraparound. Results from 408 families across 16 sites in nine states indicated adequate psychometrics for use of the WFI as an overall fidelity measure. The psychometrics for individual element scores were less reliable, however. The authors discuss the implications for research and practice, identifying specific items to be revised and potential uses for the WFI. They also cover policy implications, including how to overcome challenges observed in implementing the wraparound approach nationally.

Abstract: Maintaining fidelity to the principles of the Wraparound process in serving children with emotional and behavioral disorders is a high priority. However, the assumption that greater adherence to the model will yield superior outcomes has not been tested. The current study investigated associations between adherence to Wraparound principles, as assessed by the Wraparound Fidelity Index, second version (WFI), and child and family outcomes in one federally funded systemof-care site. Results demonstrated that higher fidelity was associated with better behavioral, functioning, restrictiveness of living, and satisfaction outcomes. No associations were found for several additional outcomes making interpretation difficult. Our study provides initial support for the hypothesis that maintaining fidelity to the philosophical principles of Wraparound is important to achieving outcomes. The study also provides support for the construct validity of the WFI as a service process measure.

Abstract: Previous literature on pornography indicates that pornography use for men at risk for aggression may result in sexually aggressive behavior, but very little research has been reported on juvenile sexual abuser's exposure to pornography. The current study compares pornography exposure between male adolescent sexual abusers (n = 283) and male nonsexually offending delinquent youth (n = 170). Sexual abusers reported more pre- and post-ten (years of age) exposure to pornography than nonsexual abusers. Yet, for the sexual abusers, exposure is not correlated to the age at which the abusers started abusing, to their reported number of victims, or to sexual offense severity. The pre-ten exposure subscale was not related to the number of children the group sexually abused, and the forceful exposure subscale was not correlated with either arousal to rape or degree of force used by the youth. Finally, exposure was significantly correlated with all of the non-sexual crime scores in the study. Implications are discussed.

Abstract: This book will explore the role of qualitative inquiry within prominent evaluation approaches and describe key practice considerations for evaluators engaging in qualitative inquiry. Although it is geared toward students and evaluators who are relatively new to qualitative inquiry, this is not a how-to book. It is meant to serve as a practice introduction for students and new evaluators, a reference and resource for practicing evaluators, and a dialogue among evaluators. Part I will cover foundations and core concepts. Part II will explore the real world of qualitative inquiry in evaluation through examples and lessons learned by practicing evaluators. This section will provide a window on the actual practice of evaluation. The editors' reflections on the content of the book and key points that resonate with their experiences as evaluators will be synthesized in a concluding chapter.

Abstract: This article reports on analyses examining contextual influences on parenting with an ethnically and geographically diverse sample of parents (predominantly mothers) raising 387 children (49% ethnic minority; 51% male) in high-risk Communities. Parents and children were followed longitudinally from first through tenth grades. Contextual influences included geographical location, neighborhood risk, SES, and family stress. The Cultural variable was racial socialization. Parenting constructs created through the consensus decision-making of the Parenting Subgroup of the Study Group oil Race, Culture, and Ethnicity (see Le et al., 2008) included Monitoring, Communication, Warmth, Behavioral Control and Parenting Efficacy. Hierarchical regressions on each parenting construct were conducted for each grade for which data were available. Analyses tested for initial ethnic differences and then for remaining ethnic differences once contextual influences were controlled. For each construct, some ethnic differences did remain (Monitoring, ninth grade; Warmth, third grade; Communication, kindergarten Behavioral Control, eighth grade; and Parenting Efficacy, kindergarten through fifth grade). Ethnic differences were explained by contextual differences in the remaining years. Analyses examining the impact of cultural influences revealed a negative relation between racial socialization messages and Communication or Monitoring.

Abstract: In order for a diagram to be useful for solving a problem, it must be constructed so that its perceptual features facilitate inferences relevant to that problem. In Experiment 1, we established the construction conventions, which relate to how information is assigned to different parts of the diagram, for three spatial representations-networks, hierarchies, and matrices. In Experiment 2, participants solved problems using diagrams that either followed or violated these conventions. As
hypothesized, participants took longer to draw inferences from convention-violating matrix and network diagrams than from their convention-following counterparts, and these inferences were less accurate. Convention adherence did not affect reasoning time or accuracy for hierarchy diagrams. The authors concluded that the construction conventions are related to perceptual features that facilitate certain types of inferences for matrix and network diagrams, and they
discussed why this might not have been the case for the hierarchy.

Abstract: This study explores key indicators of special education service delivery based on responses from 92 special educators and 36 administrators in 19 Vermont schools. Special educators reported on their work, the work of paraprofessionals they supervised, and 103 students with disabilities who were receiving one-to-one paraprofessional supports within general education classes. Findings indicate that (a) many special educators have large caseloads, (b) there are substantially more paraprofessionals than special educators, and (c) more than half of all special education paraprofessionals are assigned to students with disabilities one to one. Combined, these factors indicate that schools employed models of service delivery for students with disabilities that are primarily supported by paraprofessionals, thus raising concerns about students' access to a free, appropriate public education.

Abstract: The construct of social privilege is ubiquitous within the multicultural and social justice literature. However, the group work literature has yet to integrate the construct into group theory, processes, and training. In this article, we review the group literature on multicultural and diversity issues. Also, we examine the multicultural and social justice literature for an operational definition of social privilege. Finally, we make an argument for the impact of social privilege on group work and for the necessity of integrating social justice competencies into group work.

Abstract: Counselor educators (N = 167) in programs accredited by the Council
for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs
were surveyed regarding research training received during their doc-
toral studies. Respondents shared perspectives regarding the quality
and quantity of their research course work as well as suggestions on
how to enhance research training in counselor education programs.
Differences in the amount, type, and attitudes toward research were
found according to programs from which educators were graduated and
year of graduation. The influences of mentoring as a critical practice
in research training also emerged. Implications for research training
in counselor education are discussed.

Abstract: Group co-leaders descriptions of their experiences and perceptions of each other as
they led groups together illuminated competency concerns as a factor that strongly
influenced their relationships and performance. Based on their narratives, group
co-leaders perceptions of their ability to form intimate relationships and beliefs
regarding their interactions with their groups and group members also emerged
as significant aspects of their co-leadership experiences. Discussion presents impli-
cations for training, supervision, and future research.

Abstract: The authors investigated whether college students possess abstract rules concerning the applicability conditions for three spatial diagrams that are important tools for thinking-matrices, networks, and hierarchies. A total of 127 students were asked to select which type of diagram would be best for organising the information in each of several short scenarios. The scenarios were written using three different story contexts: (a) neutral, presenting a real-life situation but not cueing a particular representation; (b) abstract, presenting only variable names and relations; and (c) incongruent, in which the context and informational structure cued different representations. The results indicated above-chance performance on the abstract scenarios, as well as comparable performance on the abstract and neutral context scenarios. In a follow-up study in which eight students thought out loud while selecting diagrams for the abstract scenarios, there were almost no references to concrete examples. The results of these studies suggest that students possess abstract rules concerning the applicability conditions for matrices, networks, and hierarchies.

Abstract: The wraparound process has increasingly been used as a mechanism to plan and coordinate
services for children with behavioral health needs and their families. This has led to growing interest in assessing wraparound implementation against standards for quality. However, there has been little consideration of how best to establish such benchmarks or guidelines. Using both a norm-referenced and criterion-referenced approach, this study established preliminary criteria for assessing the adequacy of wraparound implementation using the Wraparound Fidelity Index, version 3, a multi-informant interview that assesses conformance to wraparound principles. The evaluation system was then applied to ten wraparound programs and 11 different study samples assessed via the Wraparound Fidelity Index version 3 in research studies. The system was constructed to discriminate
different wraparound conditions assessed in research studies while still being attainable by the ten established wraparound programs. Implications for evaluating wraparound programs and for setting
delity benchmarks in behavioral health services research are discussed.

Abstract: Objective: Past research and experience have indicated that characteristics of organizations and service systems influence the quality of mental health services delivery. The study aimed to illuminate such associations by examining the relationship between a set of program- and system-level variables and fidelity to the wraparound model for children and families. Methods: A measure of fidelity to the wraparound process for children and families (the Wraparound Fidelity Index) was administered to families receiving services in eight mental health agencies across the United States. Program administrators at each agency also completed by telephone a standardized interview for assessing program and system conditions hypothesized to influence quality of implementation (Program Administrator version of the Wraparound Fidelity Index). Regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between program and system variables and fidelity. Results: Results of interviews with program administrators revealed substantial variation across programs in the number and type of program and system supports for wraparound implementation. Regression analyses found a significant association between the number of organizational and system supports and Wraparound Fidelity Index scores. Conclusions: Results support the hypothesized relationship between program and system conditions and the quality of service delivery. Results also highlight the importance of engineering the system and organizational context (maintaining low caseload sizes, establishing interagency partnerships, and implementing accountability mechanisms) in order to provide a solid foundation for high-quality wraparound to children and families.
