Chemical Receptor Sensory Systems explores chemosenses through the lens of pharmacologic theory, and how chemosensory systems, from the molecular level to the behavior of organisms, must behave given that their operations are functions of receptor pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Throughout the book, information on concentration-dependence of chemical stimulation and likely relationship to receptor occupancy is strongly emphasized. In cases where a departure from expected pharmacologic behavior is encountered in the chemosenses, the discussion is directed toward probable explanations for the apparent disconnect.This book provides a new resource that on all chemosenses topics within a unifying conceptual framework of the science of pharmacology. It will be useful to a variety of researchers and graduate students in pharmacology, biology and physiology of sensory systems, researchers in sensory psychology, research scientists in food & nutritional scientists, as well as clinical staff.

Parents and guardians can be a powerful resource for teachers, but it takes skill and confidence to build partnerships, or parentships, and proactively engage in a positive way. Kyle Palmer draws from his experience as both principal of a model PLC school and as a parent to offer practical strategies for including parents or guardians as part of your collaborative culture focused on student learning.

PreK–12 teachers, counselors, social workers, and principals will:Understand the basics of PLCs and parentships.Learn how parentships can integrate into and enhance the PLC process.Create mission and vision statements for parentships in a PLC.Use specific strategies to enhance your parentship and engage effectively with parents.Maintain an effective parentship into the future.Contents:IntroductionPart I: Foundations of Parentships in a PLCChapter 1: Understanding Parentships in a PLCChapter 2: Creating Parentships in a PLCChapter 3: Creating Shared Mission and Vision Statements for Your ParentshipChapter 4: Creating Values and Goals for Your ParentshipPart II: Strategies for Parentships in a PLCChapter 5: Strategies Related to CurriculumChapter 6: Strategies Related to Individual Student ProgressChapter 7: Strategies Related to Parental EngagementChapter 8: Strategies for Building Stronger Parent RelationshipsChapter 9: Strategies for Monitoring and Sustaining Your ParentshipEpilogue: Now What?References and ResourcesIndex
