This handbook examines the meanings, implications, and
transformative potential of a child-rights approach for school
psychology. It focuses on the school community, in which psychology
is committed to promoting well-being, learning, and development of
all children. The handbook begins with an overview of the 1989
United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and
explores main themes such as, survival, protection, development,
participation, and nondiscrimination. Chapters provide guidance in
promoting and protecting child rights when dealing with critical
issues relevant to the school community, including well-being,
freedom from violence, and access to high quality education. In
addition, chapters analyze and offer recommendations for child
rights applications within the roles and responsibilities of school
psychologists. The handbook concludes with future directions for
achieving a child-rights approach for school psychology. Topics
featured in this handbook include: The current status of child
rights in the international community. Accountability for child
rights by school psychology. Collaborative home, school, and
community practices aimed at promoting family support. Protecting
child rights within the realm of competitive sports. CRC and
school-based intervention programming. Promoting child rights
through school leadership. Applying child rights-respecting
research to the study of psychological well-being. The
International Handbook on Child Rights and School Psychology is a
must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners,
clinicians, and graduate students in child and school psychology,
educational policy and politics, social work, public health, and
other school-based or child-serving mental health disciplines.
