Industry Reviews

"An absolutely necessary read for educators. The commonsense model assesses and outlines how to respond to challenging students, parents, and colleagues. This work is making a difference in my school." -- Bonnie Tryon, Principal "This book offers strategies, understanding, and hope for practicing educators who find themselves struggling with particular students on a daily basis and who want to reach out to students to help them reach their educational goals." -- Danielle Torres, Assistant Professor of School Counseling "The book is a compact overview of the equivalent of an entire college course, blending student psychology, classroom management, and introduction to counseling." -- Katy Olweiler, Middle School Counselor "With its person-in-environment analysis and intervention model, this book is a good resource in the library of a school social worker.
