Covering principles of therapy dog team training, assessment,
skills, and ongoing monitoring, Canine-Assisted Interventions
provides guidance on the most evidence-based methods for therapy
dog team welfare, training, and assessment. The authors offer a
linear approach to understanding all aspects of the screening,
assessment, and selection of dog-handler teams by exploring the

handlers to the importance of ongoing monitoring, recredentialing,
and retirement. In addition to reviewing key findings within the
field of human-animal interactions, each chapter emphasizes skills
on both the human and dog ends of the leash and makes
recommendations for research-informed best practices. To support
readers, the book culminates with checklists and training resources
to serve as a quick reference for readers. This book will be of
great interest for practitioners, in-service professionals, and
researchers in the fields of canine-assisted interventions and
counseling.

Cultivating Kindness sheds light on just how children and
adolescents are kind, especially in school. Grounded in
psychological and educational research on kindness and supported
with illustrations capturing the voices of public school students,
this book enhances our understanding of kindness. Written with
educators in mind, Cultivating Kindness draws from surveys and
interviews with more than three thousand children and adolescents.
Author John-Tyler Binfet shares perspectives on kindness from the
very individuals we hope will embrace kindness. Interwoven among
examples from students are findings from peer-reviewed studies on
topics exploring the role of joy and stress contagions on fostering
or thwarting kindness, the concept of kind discipline, and how to
measure kindness in school. This book also includes a kindness
checklist to guide educators wishing to implement and foster
kindness in their classrooms or schools. In addition to practical
scenarios challenging the reader to respond kindly, a repository of
kindness resources to support the continued kindness education of
readers is also included.
Mindfulness and Critical Friendship: A New Perspective on
Professional Development for Educators assembles an international
community of scholar-practitioners from multiple disciplines who
utilize different methodologies and ideological perspectives to
reflect on and interrogate contexts that situate mindfulness and
critical friendship as constructs which support professional
development for educators. Mindfulness and critical friendship
connect critically and creatively like-minded colleagues and enable
the facilitation and promotion of transformative pedagogy and
practice. Supported by a robust set of evidence-based research, the
contributors to this collection consider the ways in which
educators can develop habits of mind and courses of action which
will support them as they cultivate their ability to thrive and
cope with the modern demands of their personal and professional
lives. This edited collection is recommended for educators of all
disciplines and for scholars of education, social science, and
psychology.
