- Public Faces, Private Places
"Public Faces, Private Places" by photographer and photography educator Carley Stevens-McLaughlin
highlights images of teens who dress differently in public. She enables us to better understand and value their "differentness", through images also captured during unguarded private moments and by asking them to describe in their own words why they choose to look differently. What emerges are powerful portraits of creative, intelligent youths seeking to find their way. In this NICI publication, Stevens-McLaughlin hopes to provide teachers, guidance counselors, school leaders and all those who care about the well-being of youths with valuable insights for understanding and affirming them.

Toward Digital Equity helps educators understand the current state

how schools acquire hardware, software, and connectivity, and

others are left heartbreakingly behind. Most importantly, it examines
the most current research in the effectiveness of technology and
pedagogy in diverse settings to make suggestions on how teachers
can create powerful learning environments for all students.
