Why is it that so many students see high school as a prison sentence to be endured rather than a time to learn and grow? According to DiMartino and Clark, many high school students feel invisible and isolated. They don t see the relevance of what they are being taught, and they don t see how their classes are preparing them for success as adults. This book offers a new vision for high schools--a vision that puts students at the center of their learning. Personalized high schools engage students by allowing them to plan and develop their own pathways through school based on their talents, interests, and aspirations. The book describes six promising practices that are emerging in high schools: --Guided Personalized Learning. Teachers act as advisors to small groups of students over two to six years to review personal learning plans, assist in course selection, and discover opportunities in the community. --Personal Learning Plans. Students meet regularly with parents, advisors, mentors, and peers to review progress and plan next steps. --Personalized Teaching. Teachers differentiate instruction to allow students to explore different aspects of the subject and produce authentic work that shows their understanding. --Community-Based Learning. Active involvement in the community helps clarify a student s purpose and defines the steps necessary to achieve successful adult roles. --Personalized Assessment. Rather than grades and tests scores, the work itself--portfolios, exhibitions, and student-led conferences--shows what the students have learned. --Personalizing school systems. Some schools are moving past the Carnegie unit and focusing instead on helping each student achieve specified competencies, often through learning experiences that the students themselves have helped design. These six practices can improve learning for all students by engaging them in shaping their own high school experience and discovering how the academic skills they learn in school can have meaning in the world they will negotiate as adults.

Personalizing the High School Experience for Each Student

THIS work is designed primarily for the beginner in homceopathic practice, as a handy book of reference, to enable him to find speedily the most suitable remedy for a given case, with hints as to the best attenuation to employ, and how frequently to repeat.The second edition of THE PRESCRIBER, comprising double the number of copies issued in the first, has naturally taken a longer time to exhaust. This has afforded the author an opportunity of making many annotations in his interleaved copies; and the most important of these have been embodied in the present edition. Several entirely new headings have been added, and in deference to suggestions an attempt has been made to classify the large chapters, "Cough" and "Headache." The difficulty in satisfactorily classifying these, or any other disorders which ha,e many varieties, lies in the fact that the divisions are necessarily more or less artificial and partial. For instance, "spasmodic" may be taken to describe one kind of cough; ,"dry" may describe another class; "hacking" another, and so on; but many medicines will cause coughs having all these characteristics, and, consequently, it will be of little use to classify the same medicine under each of the heads, whilst it would be misleading to place it only under one. To meet this difficulty the leading features in the symptoms of the drugs mentioned in these two chapters have been italicized, so that they will more readily catch the eye; and under subsidiary headings peculiar conditions of the diseases have been added, with their corresponding drugs, so that they may be moreeasily found. In order to enable those who use the book to avoid the practice of alternating medicines, greater precision in differentiating their indications has been aimed at. Where formerly two remedies were advised to be given in alternation, the particular indications when to give the one and when the other are now supplied. The indications for the remedies generally will be found to be more symptomatic and less pathological than formerly. Medicines have no regard to the names of diseases, either pathological or nosological, but only to the symptoms of each individual patient. A reportorial work, whose basis of arrangement is clinical or nosological, has, in strict logic, no raison d'etre in Homeopathy; but practically it has a by no means unimportant place. Names of diseases correspond to well-defined groups of symptoms, which find analogous groups in the symptom-record of the various medicines. A clinical repertory like THE PRESCRIBER shows at a glance what these medicines are, and how they are to be distinguished from each other.If the most similar remedy is not found under any of the medicines named, recourse must be had to the Materia Medica itself and the Repertories of its Symptomatology. THE PRESCRIBER IS not intended to be a substitute for a knowledge of the Materia Medica, but only as a help to the successful use of it. For the benefit of non-professional readers who may :find the book of service when professional advice is not available, the Glossary compiled by the late Mr. HENRI HUSSON for the second edition has been retained.
