Abstract:
People are born with certain temperament traits. Some children are easy going and easy to get along with. Some are not. This article describes the temperament traits of the strong-willed child. The strong-willed is viewed as stubborn to parents and teachers. The child's goal is to always be in control of his own behaviors, regardless of the needs and feeling of people around him. The strong-willed child is resistant to change and has feelings of mistrust of others around him. His many temperament qualities that come across as negative to other people actually can be a catalyst to appropriate behaviors under the consistent care of parents and school teachers. This article describes the characteristics of the strong-willed child and also describes ways to control and guide the child's behaviors. Once viewed negative behaviors can become positive behaviors. Many a strong-willed child has become an important leader in society.

Abstract:
Usability testing has become a routine way for many libraries to ensure that their Web presence is user-friendly and accessible. At the same time, popular subject guide creation systems, such as LibGuides, decentralize Web content creation and put authorship into the hands of librarians who may not be trained in user-centered design principles. At Metropolitan State University, researchers performed usability testing on LibGuides in order to see how patrons interact with guides. Researchers completed two rounds of usability testing on a total of ten students, one alumnus, and one community patron. The results indicate that patrons struggled most when encountering jargon, inconsistent language, and visual clutter. Based on their findings, researchers recommend ongoing usability testing of subject guides as well as the creation of a style guide to help librarians create usable, accessible guides.

Abstract:
"The ABCs of School Choice" is the most comprehensive guide to every private school choice program in America, showcasing the voucher, tax-credit scholarship, education savings accounts, and individual tax credit/deduction programs currently operating in 21 states and Washington, D.C. "The ABCs of School Choice" provides policymakers, advocates, researchers, and reporters data on each program's funding levels, eligibility rates, and participation numbers. The 2013 edition also features personal stories of the students, parents, and schools that benefit from school choice along with "Friedman Feedback" on ways states can expand each program to eventually fund all children, a vision first established by the late Milton Friedman. [For the 2012 edition of this report, see ED528821.]

Abstract:
Objectives: Current research suggests that effective psychotherapies for Self Injurious Behavior (SIB) in the context of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) contain generic common elements which are responsible for their success. Because of the links between BPD, SIB, and child abuse, it is likely that these common elements can also be applied to the psychotherapy of survivors of child abuse who engage in SIB. This article will reviews several common elements which recent literature has suggested are important and suggest techniques by which community practitioners can incorporate these elements into their practice with adult survivors of child abuse who engage in SIB. Methods: This article summarizes recent key articles on common elements in psychotherapy for BPD. It refers to the treatment manuals for the specialized psychotherapies as well as General Psychiatric Management (GPM), a novel and more accessible approach, to further elaborate on these common elements and their potential usefulness in the community. Results: This paper identifies seven common elements which appear both in the recent literature and in GPM: a coherent model to understand SIB, an active therapeutic stance, validation balanced with change-oriented techniques, encouragement of self-agency, establishment of a connection between actions and feelings, a method for assessing lethality, and access to supervision. By referring to current treatment strategies for BPD, this paper suggests methods by which these common elements can be incorporated into practice by community practitioners working with adult survivors of child abuse who engage in SIB. Conclusions: Despite a lack of access to intensive training or the resources required for multimodal treatments, there are many strategies from established treatments for BPD which can be used by community practitioners to address SIB. Because treatments for BPD often focus on addressing SIB, and because adult survivors of child abuse often engage in SIB, whether or not they have BPD, it is likely that these techniques are applicable to practice with adult survivors. Further research is, however, necessary to empirically examine these common elements and their potential utility. (Contains 1 table.)
