Description
Collaborative Consultation in the Schools looks at the consultation process as a collaborative, problem-solving endeavor designed to help practitioners assist others in their work with students who have, or are at risk for, behavioral or learning problems. With a focus on having consultants bridge the gap between research and practice in schools, and on striving to initiate evidence-based practices whenever possible, the authors stress providing interventions that are proportional to the student’s needs. They look at how, through data-based systems-change, schools are redistributing their resources along MultiTiered Systems of Support (MTSS) so those in greatest need receive the most intensive help. The 5th Edition offers numerous activities and video vignettes that promote consultation skills. Not only will you read about conducting a problem-solving interview or managing a student in a crisis, you’ll also be able to observe and role-play the consultation skills involved in seeking a successful resolution.
