Best practices related to assessment, consultation, and
intervention have been well-documented throughout the school
psychology literature, with ample empirical support. Unfortunately,
despite this vast knowledge base, many practitioners continue to
use outdated and ineffective assessment practices, educational
interventions, and therapies, many of which lack research support.
The Desk Reference's editors aim to change that by providing
practitioners, academics, and students with a compendium of
current, evidence-based, and state-of-the-art best practices in
education and psychology. The Desk Reference's comprehensive
coverage of diverse populations and important niche matters
confronting school personnel are systematically addressed in a
uniform step-by-step manner replete with evidence-based practices
that can be implemented immediately by practicing professionals.
Doing “what works” is the basis of evidence-based best
practices, and when services work, they lead to consistent,
efficacious, and documented benefits. Composed of contributed
chapters from leading school psychology authors, the Desk Reference
emphasizes sound application and comprehensive coverage within five
topical sections: Assessment and Intervention (Cognitive, Academic,
Social Emotional, Neuropsychology); Consultation; Medical Problems;
Diversity in Learning; and Crises, Conditions, and Responses. This
comprehensive, detailed, and empirically supported resource renders
the Desk Reference an ideal, practical go-to guide for all
school-based professionals, including classroom teachers,
counselors, social workers, and school psychologists.
With its roots in clinical and educational psychology, school
psychology is an ever-changing field that encompasses a diversity
of topics. The Oxford Handbook of School Psychology synthesizes the
most vital and relevant literature in all of these areas, producing
a state-of-the-art, authoritative resource for practitioners,
researchers, and parents. Comprising chapters authored by the
leading figures in school psychology, The Oxford Handbook of School
Psychology focuses on the significant issues, new developments, and
scientific findings that continue to change the practical
landscape. The handbook's focuses include: - allegiance to the
reciprocal relationship between science and practice to promote
problem-solving and enrichment models - service delivery designed
to improve competencies of all students - the relationship between
general cognitive ability and important life outcomes - the
development of viable and enduring educational, family, and
community systems to support students - increasing student
diversity and the necessity of increased sensitivity to the
influences of social, cultural, political, and legislative
variables of schooling - outlining tenable reasons why, since the
end of World War II, children from kindergarten through the
secondary grades have generally not been the recipients of a
superior or efficient educational system - all relevant
legislation, including the No Child Left Behind Act, and the
ongoing question of who or what is responsible for the inadequate
academic preparation of inner-city children - building a cumulative
knowledge base to better facilitate students' academic, social, and
personal competencies including the promotion of positive mental
health and subjective well-being The scholarship compiled here is a
must-read for practitioners, students, and faculty, and an ideal
resource for parents seeking a scientific approach to the efficacy
of school psychology practices. In both breadth and depth, this
handbook promises to serve as the benchmark reference work for
years to come.
