This book examines the historical context of African Americans' educational experiences, and it provides information that helps to assess the dominant discourse on education, which emphasises White middle-class cultural values and standardisation of students' outcomes. Curriculum violence is defined as the deliberate manipulation of academic programming in a manner that ignores or compromises the intellectual and psychological well being of learners. Related to this are the issues of assessment and the current focus on high-stakes standardised testing in schools, where most teachers are forced to teach for the test.

With the growth of threats and violence in higher education settings, college campuses are increasingly expected to have systems in place to identify potentially aggressive individuals and intervene to ensure the safety of the campus population. This book will be useful for student affairs professionals as well as college counselors, psychologists, social workers interested in the practical management of aggression and violence on a college campus. It will also be a valuable resource for those involved in creating and running behavioral intervention teams and threat/risk assessment teams. Ten case studies from both the community and residential college settings provide a comprehensive overview of campus violence and how to intervene to prevent it. Pertinent background information is discussed as an introduction to these narratives, such as the fundamentals of aggression and violence on campuses; how these behaviors can impact students, faculty, and staff; and what can be learned from past campus violence. Along with discussion questions and a review of ways to approach each situation, experts in higher education, forensic risk assessment, law enforcement, and legal issues weigh in on each case study. Their perspectives offer a context and broad base of opinions and ideas on how each case could be handled. Additional examples for further training of the college counselor are given through a detailed look at almost 100 incidents of violence, including thwarted attacks, rampage shootings, and hostage situations.

On December 13, 2013, in Centennial, Colorado, yet another tragic school shooting devastated a community. In the wake of the tragedy that ended the life of student Claire Davis, the public went through their typical round of shock, blame, and demand for better laws and heightened school security. Educator and author Jonathan J. Doll, PhD, on the other hand, set about writing a book that would help schools, districts, and states create a prevention program to diffuse violent thoughts and feelings before they're acted upon. Approaching the problem pragmatically, Ending School Shootings considers the fact that right now there are students in our schools, from elementary on up, who might later commit a violent act. So, what are we doing to identify them, ground them with a sense of positive purpose, encourage their strengths, and teach them nonviolent problem-solving behaviors? This, rather than a stronger police presence, is the key to stemming the flood of violence that is harming our students. Whether you're a teacher, administrator, parent, or concerned community member, this guide presents practical steps that everyone can take to become part of the solution, from the school level to the national level. Note: 100% of proceeds from August 11-September 15, 2015 go to the following two charities:The Arapahoe High School Community Fund, in honor of Claire Davis, andThe Alma Stallworth Scholarship Fund in Michigan.
