| Summary |
"This book on school safety and violence prevention has high potential for use in a variety of courses across the fields of psychology, counseling, school administration, school social work, and allied areas of study. The book is organized in two parts comprising 13 chapters. Chapter one provides a background and framework for understanding subsequent chapters. Chapter two provides a brief overview of existing and historical theories as well as an integrative framework for research, policy, and practice. Chapter three identifies various forms of school violence. Chapter four articulates the importance of using evidence-based approaches to promote positive youth development and prevent engagement in health-risk behaviors. Chapter five discusses the schoolwide positive behavioral interventions and supports and social-emotional learning approaches. Chapter six focuses on promoting safety, school success, and positive social-emotional-behavioral development for all students. Chapter seven discusses the importance of collecting and using school data to drive change and reviews strategies to further advance conceptually sound, reliable, and valid measures of school climate. Chapter eight argues that safety promotion and violence prevention require leadership teams to act strategically, using data to inform decisions. Chapter nine provides a metaview of approaches to designing local programming. Chapter ten focuses on crisis prevention, response, and recovery. Chapter eleven explores the roles of professionals in the larger context of school safety. Chapter twelve reviews literature on collaboration across policy and practice. Chapter thirteen provides an overview of key issues involved in evaluating school-based violence prevention programs."--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved). |
