Every trainee teacher and NQT needs to know about the importance of attachment in schools. So many children and young people arrive in class every day who are unable to settle to learn. Many are coming from previous or current home environments which have not provided them with the necessary consistent security and reliable warmth for them to be relaxed, confident and trusting. Some have experienced trauma, loss, neglect and abuse. They communicate their distress through their challenging behaviour in school. What is needed first and foremost for such pupils of all ages is an authentic relationship of attachment with school staff who can get to know them, genuinely empathise and enable them to settle securely and begin to feel safe. Then, and only then, can the task of learning begin. This handbook first explains succinctly why an understanding of attachment theory is vital for all teachers. It then provides practical examples of how a teacher can recognise what the pupil's behaviour is communicating and how the teacher can then effectively intervene to enable the pupil to settle to learn and the teacher achieve freedom to teach.

Western Coastal Insurance ("WCI"), an affluent and prominent California liability insurance company, is enjoying a tide of prestige and profits generated from manipulated public and judicial opinion. Then, on a LA crosswalk adjacent to a hotel building site, a blue sedan crashes into construction worker Tony Alvarez. The driver of the car is a claims agent for WCI. With Tony left a paraplegic from the crash and unable to support his young family, he and his wife, Anna Lisa, find themselves in the fight of their lives for both their marriage and their family's future. When WCI employs its vast legal muscle to escape responsibility, Tony's attorney Matt Macado is pitted against hardened defense attorney Simon LaFollette and LaFollette's co-counsel, rookie defense attorney Karen Killebrew. Matt knew of WCI's "scorched earth" policy in dealing with claims, but is not prepared for the fiery battle that ensues. Facing a culture of corruption and greed willing to protect itself at any cost, Matt and Karen find themselves first adversaries, then allies, as they put their careers and their lives at risk to battle the beast behind the fabricated image of WCI. "John Cotton has written a great legal thriller in the best tradition of John Grisham and Scott Turow. Image of the Beast is well thought-out and researched. The behind-the-scenes machinations of the civil legal system are fascinating and presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Image of the Beast is a real page turner - I couldn't put it down." Chris Yurko, Editor Author John Cotton holds a Juris Doctorate from the University of Wyoming, and is currently in private practice.
