Implementing Evidence-Based Academic Interventions in School Settings

"Rosenfield and Berninger have long been instrumental in transforming school psychology into a systems-intervening practice. I agree with them that this is a book for researchers and practitioners...It is essential reading for those who train school psychologists; supervisors of school psychology practitioners should own it as well. District supervisors of curriculum, school administrator trainers, teachers, educators, and those individuals in state departments of education who license professional educators would do well to read large portions of this book; practitioners who read it can share those relevant sections with their educator colleagues. School psychology training programs must have this book readily available and assign it as a text across several training courses." --Wayne Barry, as reviewed in NASP Communiqué "Every thoughtful psychology practitioner has realized that while knowing an answer is vital, it is rarely enough. The dual challenges of having a store of expertise useful to alleviating presenting problems and understanding how to communicate, motivate, and institutionalize the application of that expertise in practice settings are successfully overcome in this volume edited by Rosenfield and Berninger. The scientific and clinical art issues associated with the valid translation of evidence based interventions to schools are organized and presented in an innovative format by the best thinkers and doers in the field. I will advocate its use by practicing and trainee psychologists and teachers. This is a 'must have' volume." --Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D., Dean, Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, University of California-Santa Barbara
