  Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer...

  A successful former defense attorney exposes the raw truth about the courtroom “game” and a career spent defending the guiltyAs an advocate for the accused in Newark, New Jersey, criminal lawyer Seymour Wishman defended a vast array of clients, from burglars and thieves to rapists and murderers. Many of them were poor and undereducated, and nearly all of them were guilty. But it was not Wishman’s duty to pass moral judgment on those he represented. His job was to convince a jury to set his clients free or, at the very least, to impose the most lenient punishment permissible by law. And he was very good at his job. Reveling in the adrenaline rush of “winning,” Wishman gave no thought to the ethical considerations of his daily dealings . . . until he was confronted on the street by a rape victim he had humiliated in the courtroom. A fascinating, no-holds-barred memoir of his years spent as “attorney for the damned,” Wishman’s Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer is a startling and important work—an eye-opening, thought-provoking examination of how the justice system works and how it should work—by an attorney who both defended and prosecuted those accused of the most horrific crimes.

  A timely guide to online teaching strategies from bestselling author Doug Lemov and the Teach Like a Champion team School closures in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic resulted in an immediate and universal pivot to online teaching. More than 3.7 million teachers in the US were suddenly asked to teach in an entirely new setting with little preparation and no advance notice. This has caused an unprecedented threat to children's education, giving rise to an urgent need for resources and guidance. The New Normal is a just-in-time response to educators' call for help. Teaching expert Doug Lemov and his colleagues spent weeks studying videos of online teaching and they now provide educators in the midst of this transition with a clear guide to engaging and educating their students online. Although the transition to online education is happening more abruptly than anyone anticipated, technology-supported teaching may be here to stay. This guide explores the challenges involved in online teaching and guides educators and administrators to identify and understand best practices. It is a valuable tool to help you and your students succeed in synchronous and asynchronous settings this school year and beyond.

  How can applied behavior analysis improve social and learning skills? 
  It is a systematic manipulation of behavioral concepts to change behavior at any moment during a child's day. 
  Many ABA methods require teaching, which is driven in a highly structured manner by parents, while others use the innate desires of the learner to obey his or her initiations. In the sense of current operations, certain methods teach skills. Both abilities are broken down into small steps or parts, and many regular chances are given for learners to acquire and exercise skills in a variety of settings with ample positive reinforcement. 
  Cognitive behavioral training is used to teach children with ASD to control and regulate their own actions by modifying their attitudes, self-understanding, and values, based on the assumption that improvements are most likely to occur whenever a person becomes actively involved in their own behavior. 
  Neurofeedback includes tracking brain activity while a person engages with computer programs created specifically to facilitate focus or other skills. Sleep therapies educate parents and children in strategies for dealing with challenging sleep patterns typical in children with ASD and for developing schedules for sleep. 
  Throughout comparison to the ABA, ABA-based, and EIBI strategies mentioned previously, all such therapeutic techniques are used. In this audiobook, you'll learn:What is autism and how it can be handled with applied behavioral analysis (ABA)How behavioral analysis can be used with autismHow to link operant behaviors with ABAHow to analyze behavioral change and pay attention to even the slightest changesHow to use procedures basic reinforcement to increase a behavior
