  Every child should be able to manage their anger. Uncontrolled anger can destroy relationships and even stunt growth. You have to be deliberate when teaching your children about emotions and anger management. We have compiled beginner-friendly guides and tips in this book to assist parents in explaining emotions to their young children. The earlier children learn about their emotions, the better equipped they will be later in life. 
  Are you a guardian or parent who is unsure how to explain feelings and emotions to your children? Do you have trouble understanding and labeling your emotions? Do your children always throw tantrums? Is your child feeling left out because of a lack of emotional intelligence? Perhaps they are unaware of what triggers them or how to avoid a meltdown. This book has been written to answer all of your questions. 
  You will learn about emotions and the most basic ways to explain them to children aged 5-8. Children who struggle with their emotions, especially anger, benefit greatly from learning self- control.

  Rooted in examples from their own and others' classrooms, the authors offer discipline-specific practices for implementing antiracist literature instruction in White-dominant schools. Each chapter explores a key dimension of antiracist literature teaching and learning, including designing literature-based units that emphasize racial literacy, selecting literature that highlights voices of color, analyzing Whiteness in canonical literature, examining texts through a critical race lens, managing challenges of race talk, and designing formative assessments for racial literacy and identity growth.Book features: specific classroom scenarios and transcripts of race-related challenges that teachers will recognize to help situate suggested strategies; sample racial literacy objectives, questions, and assessments to guide unit instruction; a literature-based unit that addresses societal racism in A Raisin in the Sun; assignments for exploring Whiteness in the teaching of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; questions teachers can use to examine To Kill a Mockingbird through a critical race lens; techniques for managing difficult moments in whole group discussions; and exploratory essay assignments to build understanding of race-based concepts and racial identity development.

  Booker T Washington Rediscovered

  A new take on this icon of African American educational reform, drawing on previously unpublished materials. 
   
  Booker T. Washington, a founding father of African American education in the United States, has long been studied, revered, and reviled by scholars and students. Born into slavery, freed and raised in the Reconstruction South, and active in educational reform through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Washington sought to use education to bridge the nation’s racial divide. This volume explores Washington’s life and work through his writings and speeches. 
   
  Drawing on previously unpublished writings, hard-to-find speeches and essays, and other primary documents from public and private collections, Michael Scott Bieze and Marybeth Gasman provide a balanced and insightful look at this controversial and sometimes misunderstood leader. Their essays follow key themes in Washington’s life—politics, aesthetics, philanthropy, religion, celebrity, race, and education—that show both his range of thought and the evolution of his thinking on topics vital to African Americans at the time. Wherever possible, the book reproduces archival material in its original form, aiding the reader in delving more deeply into the primary sources, while the accompanying introductions and analyses by Bieze and Gasman provide rich context. A companion website contains additional primary source documents and suggested classroom exercises and teaching aids. 
   
  Innovative and multifaceted, Booker T. Washington Rediscovered provides the opportunity to experience Washington’s work as he intended and examines this turn-of-the-century pioneer in his own right, not merely in juxtaposition with W.E.B. Du Bois and other black leaders.

  Tracing Your Ancestors in County...

  A detailed handbook to the English and Welsh Quarter Sessions records, their background, and how they can be used by genealogists and historians. 
   
  For over 500 years, between the fourteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Justices of the Peace were the embodiment of government for most of our ancestors. The records they and other county officials kept are invaluable sources for local and family historians, and Stuart Raymond's handbook is the first in-depth guide to them. He shows how and why they were created, what information they contain, and how they can be accessed and used. 
   
  Justices of the Peace met regularly in Quarter Sessions, judging minor criminal matters, licensing alehouses, paying pensions to maimed soldiers, overseeing roads and bridges, and running gaols and hospitals. They supervised the work of parish constables, highway surveyors, poor law overseers, and other officers. And they kept extensive records of their work, which are invaluable to researchers today. 
   
  As Stuart Raymond explains, the lord lieutenant, the sheriff, the assize judges, the clerk of the peace, and the coroner, together with a variety of subordinate officials, also played important roles in county government. Most of them left records that give us detailed insights into our ancestors’ lives. 
   
  The wide range of surviving county records deserve to be better known and more widely used, and Stuart Raymond’s book is a fascinating introduction to them. 
   
  Praise for Tracing Your Ancestors in County Records 
   
  “This is invaluable stuff: while other books may mention the records, this volume provides a useful understanding of the processes and public philosophies that led to them in the first place. There are plenty of references for further reading, too. . . . An excellent textbook exploring the mechanics of local record-keeping.” —Your Family History (UK) 
   
  “This great introduction to county records will soon have you chomping at the bit to head to your nearest archive to begin exploring beyond the records available online. Well-known family and local historian (and Family Tree contributor) Stuart A. Raymond provides a concise and easy guide to the rich seam of records you can expect to find (and those you can't), going back 500 years to when Justices of the Peace were the embodiment of local government for our ancestors. There’s a wealth of information to get your teeth into.” —Family Tree (UK)
