Understanding the factors that encourage young people to become
active agents in their own learning is critical. Positive
psychology is one lens that can be used to investigate the factors
that facilitate a student's sense of agency and active school
engagement. In the second edition of this groundbreaking handbook,
the editors draw together the latest work on the field, identifying
major issues and providing a wealth of descriptive knowledge from
renowned contributors. Major topics include: the ways that positive
emotions, traits, and institutions promote school achievement and
healthy social and emotional development; how specific
positive-psychological constructs relate to students and schools
and support the delivery of school-based services; and the
application of positive psychology to educational policy making.
With thirteen new chapters, this edition provides a long-needed
centerpiece around which the field can continue to grow,
incorporating a new focus on international applications of the
field.

The Handbook of School Violence and School Safety: International
Research and Practice has become the premier resource for
educational and mental health professionals and policymakers
seeking to implement effective prevention and intervention programs
that reduce school violence and promote safe and effective schools.
It covers the full range of school violence and safety topics from
harassment and bullying to promoting safe, secure, and peaceful
schools. It also examines existing school safety programs and
includes the multi-disciplinary research and theories that guide
them. Examinations of current issues and projections of future
research and practice are embedded within each chapter. This volume
maps the boundaries of this rapidly growing and multidisciplinary
field of study. Key features include... Comprehensive Coverage -
The chapters are divided into three parts: Foundations; Assessment
and Measurement; Prevention and Intervention Programs. Together
they provide a comprehensive review of what is known about the
types, causes, and effects of school violence and the most
effective intervention programs that have been developed to prevent
violence and promote safe and thriving school climates.
Evidence-based Practice - Avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to
prevention and intervention, the focus throughout is on the
application of evidence-based practice to address factors most
commonly associated with school violence and safety. Implications
for Practice - Each chapter bridges the research-to-practice gap,
with a section delineating implications for practice of the
foregoing research. Chapter Structure - To ensure continuity and
coherence across the book, each chapter begins with a brief
abstract and ends with a table showing the implications for
practice. International Focus - Acknowledging the fact that school
violence and safety is a global concern, this edition has increased
its focus on insights learned from cross-national research and
practice outside the USA. Expertise - The editors and authors are
experienced researchers, teachers, practitioners, and leaders in
the school violence field, their expertise includes their breadth
and depth of knowledge and experience, bridging research, policy,
and practice and representing a variety of international
organizations studying school violence around the world.

Violence and the threat of violence in schools are legitimate
concerns for researchers and educators wishing to create safe and
productive learning environments for all students. 'Appraisal and
Prediction of School Violence: Methods, Issues, and Contexts',
edited by Michael Furlong, Michael Bates, Douglas Smith, and Paul
Kingery, provides up-to-date information about best practices for
understanding, predicting, and preventing violence on school
campuses. In addition to providing in-depth coverage of approaches
to assessing threats of violence in schools, the book covers
important related topics such as bullying in schools, anger and
hostility among students, discipline strategies, weapon possession,
crisis preparation and response, and diversity and disability
issues related to school safety. The book is essential reading for
researchers, school administrators, counselors, psychologists, and
other school personnel who are working to reduce the incidence of
school violence in a manner that supports positive student
development.
