Description
Problem-solving-based assessment has been recognized as a cornerstone of improved educational outcomes for all children, yet until now no single resource has focused on the full range of problem-solving-based approaches. This book fills a crucial need by bringing together leaders in the field to review the state of the science and provide a handy primer on practice. Presented are a conceptual framework and up-to-date tools for identifying and remediating the many environmental factors that may contribute to academic, emotional, or behavioral difficulties. Coverage includes problem-solving-based applications of such methods as interviews, observations, rating scales, curriculum-based measurement, functional behavioral assessment, and published tests.
Reviews / Votes
"This book offers the most comprehensive discussion I have seen of this important topic. The problem-solving conceptual model presented is applicable for systems ranging in scope from a national perspective to an individual classroom or school, and the case examples should greatly enhance implementation. I am confident that this book will make a lasting contribution to school psychology training and practice." -Matthew K. Burns, PhD, School Psychology Program, University of MinnesotaMore details
