This informative new volume provides a hand-picked selection of useful techniques, ideas, competencies, and skills for working with children in schools and school settings. The book is comprised of both research (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-design) and conceptual pieces about the most effective, current professional practices for professionals who work with P-12 children in schools. The practices described here will be useful for a wide assortment of professionals within education, including practicing teachers, school counselors, school psychologists, speech language pathologists, administrators, as well as other school professionals and education students.

Following the success of the editors’ first volume, Best Practices for Education Professionals, which was the first of its kind, this volume provides a variety of new best practices. The newly researched and considered topics in this new volume contextualize best practices within present-day challenges. The book aims to inform readers and expand their horizons about the variety of emerging evidence-based professional practice in schools settings that are effective for teaching, counseling, mentoring, guiding, and nurturing students of all ages.

The book
  • presents best practices in the various fields of education
  • helps professors teaching courses in higher education to prepare individuals who work in schools settings
  • informs teachers, administrators, counselors, technologists, etc. working in schools settings
  • extends the concepts of best practices illustrated in the first edition of Best Practices for Education Professionals
  • helps to bring together the community of educational professionals and their various literature, rather than keeping them as distinct and somewhat unrelated
The field of education is constantly changing, and this new volume addresses that, focusing on best practices useful for a variety of professionals who work in school settings.
