During the past two decades, Chris Confer and Marco Ramirez have worked to deepen and improve mathematics instruction at schools around the country. Wherever they go, they find the raw ingredients for success already present: The potential for positive change lies within each school. Abundance is present in the form of capable children, teachers, coaches, and principals. Potential energy -- what can be -- transforms into kinetic energywhat will beonly when a force is accurately applied to move a school in the right direction. In'' Small Steps, Big Changes: Eight Essential Practices for Transforming Schools Through Mathematics, the authors identify eight tested principles that transform what can be an overwhelming process into a set of comprehensible and concrete steps. Each phase of the change process is brought to life through the stories and perspectives of teachers, coaches, and principalsstories that will strike familiar chords for every educator. When teachers make sense of math, students learn to make sense of math, and that can profoundly change the entire culture of a school. In one vivid illustration, the authors tell the story of Pueblo Gardens Elementary School in Tucson, Arizona, where Marco, as principal, and Chris, as instructional coach, worked alongside a group of dedicated teachers. A few years into the change process, Pueblo Gardens -- a school with 96 percent of its students at the poverty level and a high percentage of English language learners -- had 94 percent of students meeting or exceeding state standards in third-grade mathematics. Over time, other grades achieved similarly high scores. And once the test scores rose, they were sustained at high levels.

Narrativas del miedo: Terror en obras literarias, cinemáticas y televisivas de Latinoamérica es una colección de ensayos escritos en inglés y en español en los que se analizan distintas representaciones del miedo como un elemento estructural y simbólico en obras literarias, teatrales y visuales de Argentina, Chile, Brasil, Colombia, Costa Rica, República Dominicana y Venezuela. Este libro ofrece una coherente y comprensiva visión de conjunto que abre una discusión sobre una de las más problemáticas consecuencias de la violencia: el miedo. A los largo de los últimos dos siglos, los países de América Latina han experimentado numerosos conflictos tales como guerras, revoluciones, dictaduras, narcotráfico, desplazamientos, exilios, etc. Existen abundantes estudios críticos sobre estas problemáticas, así como también sobre sus representaciones literarias y cinematográficas. Sin embargo, es muy poco lo que se ha dicho sobre el miedo que distintos tipos de violencia infligen en la sociedad, los individuos y sobre cómo estos fenómenos condicionan las representaciones artísticas y literarias. El valor y la originalidad de este volumen yace en el hecho de que enfoca su atención en esta fuerza emocional tan profundamente integrada en la producción de novelas, cuentos, teatro, películas y cómics en América Latina.
