2021 PROSE Award Finalist, Education Practice and Theory Category In the thoroughly revised second edition of Start Where You Are, But Don’t Stay There, H. Richard Milner IV addresses the knowledge and insights required on the part of teachers and school leaders to serve students of color. Milner focuses on a crucial issue in teacher training and professional education: the need to prepare teachers for the racially diverse student populations in their classrooms. The book, anchored in real world experiences, centers on case studies that exemplify the challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities facing teachers in diverse classrooms. The case studies—of teachers in urban and suburban settings—are presented amid current discussions about race and teaching. In addition, the second edition includes a new chapter dedicated to opportunity gaps in education and an expanded discussion of how Opportunity Centered Teaching can address these gaps. Start Where You Are, But Don’t Stay There strives to help educators in the fight for social justice, equity, inclusion, and transformation for all students. It is a book urgently needed in today’s increasingly diverse classrooms.

"I've spent much of my career writing about sports as well as the civil rights movement. In Mike Banzhoff's new book, Friday Afternoon Courses: A Coach, Two Teams, and a University--which, like Friday Night Lights, takes place in Odessa, Texas--injustice is found on the golf course. A skilled, well-liked, and big-hearted coach from Pennsylvania, Banzhoff becomes the pawn of University of Texas of the Permian Basin officials who, for questionable or bizarre reasons, strive to bring him down. Based on such crimes as his "chicken soup" comment, the affable Banzhoff finds himself suspended, fired, jailed, and plastered on the TV news--the scandalized golf coach at UTPB. This book is Mike's side of the story. It's riveting reading for anyone touched by this scandal--and anyone who despises injustice." --David Aretha, award-winning author and editor of such books as Arnold Palmer: A Tribute to an American Icon and Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1963 March on Washington

Child soldiers remain poorly understood and inadequately protected, despite significant media attention and many policy initiatives. This Research Handbook aims to redress this troubling gap. It offers a reflective, fresh and nuanced review of the complex issue of child soldiering. The Handbook brings together scholars from six continents, diverse experiences, and a broad range of disciplines. Along the way, it unpacks the life-cycle of youth and militarization: from recruitment to demobilization to return to civilian life. The overarching aim of the Handbook is to render the invisible visible – the contributions map the unmapped and chart new directions. Challenging prevailing assumptions and conceptions, the Research Handbook on Child Soldiers focuses on adversity but also capacity: emphasising the resilience, humanity, and potentiality of children affected (rather than ‘afflicted’) by armed conflict.

However, in the end, they still had to face reality."This is the society of today. Everyone is a common man, and no one can avoid the vulgarity."
