Celebrating & Activating The Power Of Picture Books

Rebecca Hinze-Pifer plays an integral research role as part of an influential consortium that has just turned out critical studies on school-based police and the educational impact of living in proximity to violence.

As Chicago Public Schools moves to fully remove police officers from its buildings, education officials are planning a phased-in approach to its new school safety plans.

As Chicago Public Schools prepares to eliminate resource officer positions districtwide, a new study found removing police from city schools has not led to increased disciplinary issues, nor did it make students and staff feel less safe.

The authors describe an English language arts teacher’s approach to incorporating a design analysis framework to support multimodal composition for discourse communities.

Picture this: A group of passionate fans is huddled around their devices. Their favorite outlet has just dropped the latest response to a hotly contested article that has divided their community. As the group reads through, they debate, discuss, inquire, and post in their chosen social network. They make reference to other similar works, cite compelling evidence, and have different perspectives on the future direction of their community. Now, what kind of community did you have in mind during this scene? Were you imagining a group of teens debating the latest controversy from The Real Housewives or Keeping Up With the Kardashians? Or what about a group of literary scholars discussing a new interpretation that challenges the consensus on a canonical texts? What if it was referring to both? That might surprise you, but it’s an overlap that’s incredibly familiar to our guest this week—Assistant Professor of ELA Education and SUNY Empire State College, Dr. Karis Jones. Dr. Jones is a self-styled acafan activist studying the interpretive and discursive practices that happen in fandom spaces. Like me, she believes this broadening of how we conceptualize literacy can have transformative implications for how we frame and teach the discipline. So, whether you’re a literary scholar, Marvel Movie fan, or K-Pop enthusiast, this episode has much to offer. Enjoy! Follow Karis on TwitterCheck out her website here

Adolescence marks a time of increased vulnerability to developing mental health difficulties. Recent literature has pointed towards both risk and protective factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of co-occurring mental health difficulties amongst autistic adolescents. For example, autistic individuals may mask their autistic traits to fit in with neurotypical peers, but prolonged masking may negatively influence the development of one’s autistic identity and increase vulnerability to developing mental health difficulties. In this commentary, we focus our efforts on highlighting how 1) autistic identity and 2) masking behaviours may be considered within a holistic and person-centred formulation to guide treatment for mental health difficulties in autistic adolescents. In current clinical practice, mental health practitioners may not explicitly enquire about potential construct overlap between these autism related factors and other cognitive and behavioural factors that perpetuate mental health difficulties. We propose a series of assessment questions that clinical professionals may use when developing a shared understanding with autistic adolescents of how they perceive the relationship between autism and co-occurring mental health difficulties. Our goal is to support clinical professionals to consider ways of integrating advances in autistic identity and masking literature in autism to inform the assessment and formulation of co-occurring mental health difficulties when supporting autistic children and young people.
