Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest social change in Europe during the last twenty years is that almost half of Europe's young people now attend college. Yet despite these unprecedented levels of university attendance, the lived experiences of students remain largely undocumented. Focusing on the effects of the financial crisis and austerity, this empirically grounded analysis compares the lives of university students from three very different European welfare systems: Italy, England, and Sweden. By contrasting access to welfare support--in connection with the role of families, the state, and the labor market postgraduation--Student Lives in Crisis exposes the students' often overlooked social realities, as well as the impact of their shared experience of financial uncertainty. Drawing on questionnaires and first person interviews, Lorenza Antonucci reveals the misconceptions behind many higher education policies in Europe, demonstrating that university participation exacerbates rather than ameliorates inequalities among young people from different social backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking with Students in Conflict: Life Space Crisis Intervention-Third Edition offers professionals and parents a brain-based, trauma-informed, relationship-building set of skills to turn problem situations into learning opportunities for young people who exhibit challenging behaviors in schools, communities, and in the home. This book offers a six-stage verbal framework to de-escalate youth crisis situations, foster self-awareness and insight in young people, improve their social-emotional skills, and bring about long-term behavioral change. The result is stronger adult-child connections, better emotional regulation, improved peer relationships, lower suspension rates, and fewer juvenile justice system referrals.LSCI skills are important because they enable any caring adult to step into a young person's life space-the heat of a stressful moment-and intervene effectively. The six-stage LSCI process helps adults de-escalate the emotional intensity of a crisis, gain an understanding of the conflict from the young person's point of view, offer new ways to think about the incident, and ultimately promote the youth's personal responsibility for behavior.This book is a must-have for educators, school administrators, counselors, psychologists, mental health workers, social workers, juvenile justice workers, paraprofessionals, and anyone working with children and adolescents who exhibit challenging behaviors.This revised edition features dozens of brand-new examples of the use of LSCI with children and adolescents from diverse backgrounds and in a variety of settings. The authors share suggestions for applying LSCI skills in real life and offer troubleshooting guidelines to make LSCI work in even the most challenging of circumstances. This edition features all new applications of LSCI skills, including as a tool with staff who inadvertently perpetuate conflicts with students, as a group intervention for building social-emotional skills, as a way to change passive aggressive behavior, and as a parenting strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From two leading child and adolescent mental health experts comes a guide for the parents of every college and college-bound student who want to know what’s normal mental health and behavior, what’s not, and how to intervene before it’s too late. “The title says it all...Chock full of practical tools, resources and the wisdom that comes with years of experience, The Stressed Years of their Lives is destined to become a well-thumbed handbook to help families cope with this modern age of anxiety.” — Brigid Schulte, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author of Overwhelmed and director of the Better Life Lab at New America All parenting is in preparation for letting go. However, the paradox of parenting is that the more we learn about late adolescent development and risk, the more frightened we become for our children, and the more we want to stay involved in their lives. This becomes particularly necessary, and also particularly challenging, in mid- to late adolescence, the years just before and after students head off to college. These years coincide with the emergence of many mood disorders and other mental health issues. When family psychologist Dr. B. Janet Hibbs's own son came home from college mired in a dangerous depressive spiral, she turned to Dr. Anthony Rostain. Dr. Rostain has a secret superpower: he understands the arcane rules governing privacy and parental involvement in students’ mental health care on college campuses, the same rules that sometimes hold parents back from getting good care for their kids. Now, these two doctors have combined their expertise to corral the crucial emotional skills and lessons that every parent and student can learn for a successful launch from home to college.

Download or read book Quarterlife Crisis written by Alexandra Robbins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-05-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the midlife crisis has been thoroughly explored by experts, there is another landmine period in our adult development, called the quarterlife crisis, which can be just as devastating. When young adults emerge at graduation from almost two decades of schooling, during which each step to take is clearly marked, they encounter an overwhelming number of choices regarding their careers, finances, homes, and social networks. Confronted by an often shattering whirlwind of new responsibilities, new liberties, and new options, they feel helpless, panicked, indecisive, and apprehensive. Quarterlife Crisis is the first book to document this phenomenon and offer insightful advice on smoothly navigating the challenging transition from childhood to adulthood, from school to the world beyond. It includes the personal stories of more than one hundred twentysomethings who describe their struggles to carve out personal identities; to cope with their fears of failure; to face making choices rather than avoiding them; and to balance all the demanding aspects of personal and professional life. From "What do all my doubts mean?" to "How do I know if the decisions I'm making are right?" this book compellingly addresses the hardest questions facing young adults today.
Download or read book Rhetoric and Sociolinguistics in Times of Global Crisis written by Hanc?-Azizoglu, Eda Ba?ak and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crises often leave people in vulnerable situations in which a moment in time can function as a turning point of a catastrophic situation for the better or worse. From another perspective, the concept of crisis signifies losing control of everyday privileges, such as that of a pandemic. Therefore, the interaction of rhetoric and sociolinguistics in times of crisis is inevitable. It is crucial to internalize how rhetoric, an effective skill from ancient times to make meaning of sociological breakthrough events, changed the course of events as well as the fate of humanity. Within the same context, research should focus on diverse disciplines to explore, investigate, and analyze the concept of “crisis” from global, sociolinguistic, and rhetorical perspectives. Rhetoric and Sociolinguistics in Times of Global Crisis explores and situates the concept of global crisis within rhetoric and sociolinguistics as well as other disciplines such as education, technology, society, language, and politics. The chapters included bridge the gap to initiate a discussion on understanding how rhetoric and sociolinguistics can create critical awareness for individuals, societies, and learning environments during times of crisis. While highlighting concepts such as rhetorical evolution, political rhetoric, digital writing, and communications, this book is a valuable reference tool for language teachers, writing experts, communications specialists, politicians and government officials, academicians, researchers, and students working and studying in fields that include rhetoric, education, linguistics, culture, media, political science, and communications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.
Download or read book Working and Living in Student Crisis written by Laura Jean Shell and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Live-in residence life professionals have unique responsibilities on college campuses because they live amongst the students in order to be available around-the-clock for crisis situations. Crises can include a wide variety of issues, ranging from facility issues to mental health concerns. To assist the increasingly diverse students who attend college, the skill sets of residence life professionals are expanding. Assisting students can require a variety of response, but almost all responses have one thing in common -- they have emotional labor expectations in place. Emotional labor expectations are communicated through onboarding, training, policies, and professional development. Existing research has not studied live-in residence life professionals and how they experience emotional labor. Furthermore, emotional labor research has not examined the lived experience of professional staff who live in their work environment. Using the oral history methodology, a narrative qualitative research study was completed to investigate the emotional labor of live-in residence life professionals. In this study, 9 live-in residence life professionals from 2 campuses shared their experience working and living in campus residence halls. Data from the 27 hour-long interviews and 16 journal entries were analyzed using a combination of inductive and deductive coding. Data analysis led to the development of five themes characterizing the emotional labor experienced by live-in residence life professionals: role ambiguity and unpredictability, no escaping without being away, support or lack thereof, routinized work, and carrying and sustaining the effort. Findings in this narrative qualitative study reveal that the burden of emotional labor expected of residence life professionals is contributing to trauma. Recommendations supported by the findings of this study include the need to clarify the job of live-in residence life professionals to reduce role ambiguity and related stress, establish boundaries between professional and personal spaces (physically and emotionally), and strengthen support for live-in professionals in their work. This study offers insights for university administrators and residence life professionals who seek to improve the emotional labor experience for residence life professionals working and living in the midst of student crises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a global crisis impacts nearly every industry, education is always one of the most impacted as students and faculty must frantically try to maintain their educational programs throughout uncertain times. Beyond the educational courses themselves being shifted online or to hybrid approaches, there must be a focus on the impact on students as well. With newfound ways of learning, new online environments, and new methods for teaching, students are greatly impacted by the changing face of education. The traditional ways in which students have been served and assisted have changed rapidly, and to make matters even more challenging, students must handle both living in a time of crisis while adapting to swift educational transformations. The dissemination of best practices and maintaining student success during global crises is an area of research that is not only growing in interest but is critical in pandemic times. Strategies for Student Support During a Global Crisis reflects on how educational professionals have worked with students during global crises, how serving and teaching students have been impacted, and the best practices for student success in both online education and hybrid formats. The chapters will include topics such as mentoring models, teaching methods, educational technologies, teacher insights, academic support services, and more. This book is ideal for educational professionals, leaders, school administration, teachers, teacher educators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the best strategies for supporting students and promoting student success during global crises.

Download or read book Student Debt Crisis written by Matthew Gumke and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is suffering from a debt crisis, cased by insane levels of student loans. Wages have only increased 67% since 1970, yet student loans are exploding to record levels, year after year. This, along with soaring cost of living, has made it nearly impossible for ordinary millennials who go to college, to become financially independent in the richest country on earth. If you go to college and study most degrees and use the information you learned in your degree in the workforce, the American dream is dead. As an entrepreneur who's looking to hire millennials, I can tell you that most graduates don't have a clue how to help my businesses.Not only that, they're in a constant state of fear and panic. Even if I pay them a great wage, they can't afford to make ends meet due to their obscene student loans, often at high interest rates. They're trying to get married, buy a house and have kids, yet their crippling loans makes it impossible.Many millennials are ostracised from the dating scene, because they're simply too poor from student loans to date. It's affecting their self-image, self esteem and confidence. 1.Total student loan debt is over $1.5 Trillion2.College tuition has increased 213% since 19803.More than 3 million people aged 65+ are still paying off their student loans4.As of May 2018, 101 people owe at least $1m in unpaid student loans5.Black families carry more debt than white families and they're more likely to default on their loans.6.40% of student will default on their loans by 20237.49% of total loan value in bankruptcies are student loans. They're unforgivable by bankruptcy 8.13% of of Americans surveyed last year said they've decided not to have kids because their student loan debt is so high9.Student loan defaults are higher than the 2008 mortgage crisis10.50% of millennials think college wasn't worthwhileThis message is for concerned parents who worry about the future of their children/teenagers. It's also for people worried if going to college/university in the 21st century will help them get ahead in life. It's also for people stuck in a student loan crisis, looking to finally learn how to create a high income. I'm writing this because I wish someone gave me this advice when I was 16 and I was being shouted at for not going to university. I was told that I'd never be successful. I was told that my life would be so miserable, it wouldn't be worth living. I believe that college died a painful death this century. No longer does a child need a formal education to get ahead in life. College in the United States of America has turned into a horrible scam, enriching a few at the top of the pyramid, while the teachers and students suffer. Do you think the children of the people that own these colleges go to university? The children of people making 10's of millions of dollars per year?It's turned middle class children of the future into debt slaves. Unless these debt slaves somehow find a way to produce an exceptionally high income, they'll never be able to create the levels of upward social mobility seen before in previous generations. Parents know it, kids know it, college has turned into a scam. Unless you want to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, accountant, nurse, or something that needs a degree, you're better off not signing the dotted line on a 6-figure loan. From the statistics you'll see and learn about in this book, even a high income career isn't enough. Not only do I show the problems, I provide solutions. This could be the book that helps you finally sell them on the idea that you don't need to go to college/university to become successful. I was able to become successful without crippling loans. I want the same for you too.
