Academic Skills Problems, Fifth Edition: Direct Assessment and Intervention
Autor Edward S. Shapiro, Nathan H. Clemensen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 aug 2023
Observăm că aplicabilitatea practică a volumului Academic Skills Problems, Fifth Edition rezidă în capacitatea sa de a transforma teoriile evaluării directe în strategii concrete de intervenție pentru elevii din clasele primare și secundare (K-12). Suntem de părere că această a cincea ediție reprezintă o actualizare esențială pentru psihologii școlari, oferind un cadru riguros de rezolvare a problemelor ce vizează dificultățile la citit, scris și matematică. Lucrarea nu se limitează la testarea elevului, ci evaluează critic mediul de instruire, oferind instrumente pentru modificări curriculare adaptate nevoilor specifice de învățare.
Această ediție extinde cadrul propus de Assessment for Intervention, Second Edition prin integrarea unor date noi privind importanța centrală a limbajului și abordarea elevilor din medii culturale și lingvistice diverse. Apreciem modul în care Edward S. Shapiro și Nathan H. Clemens au structurat materialul: de la alegerea obiectivelor de evaluare (Pasul 1) și evaluarea mediului academic (Pasul 2), până la strategii de intensificare a instruirii și monitorizarea progresului (Pașii 3 și 4). Această progresie logică reflectă o maturizare a modelului RTI (Response-to-Intervention), poziționând cartea ca o continuare metodologică a lucrării The RTI Approach to Evaluating Learning Disabilities, Second Edition a autorului.
Față de alte manuale de profil, precum Practical Handbook of School Psychology, volumul de față se distinge prin focalizarea pe evaluarea directă a abilităților și prin includerea unor perspective proaspete asupra comportamentelor de învățare, precum atenția la sarcină. Tonul este unul precis, orientat către practician, iar capitolele finale dedicate ilustrărilor de caz oferă un model de bune practici pentru implementarea sistemelor de suport pe mai multe niveluri (MTSS).

Despre autor
Edward S. Shapiro a fost o figură centrală în psihologia școlară, expertiza sa fiind recunoscută la nivel internațional prin numeroasele ediții ale lucrărilor sale de referință. Deși s-a remarcat și ca istoric, contribuția sa majoră în domeniul educației se concentrează pe evaluarea comportamentală și intervenția academică. În această a cincea ediție a Academic Skills Problems, viziunea sa este completată de Nathan H. Clemens, a cărui cercetare aduce un suflu nou în ceea ce privește diversitatea lingvistică și mecanismele fundamentale ale învățării.

Recenzii
"In the fifth edition, Clemens has updated and enhanced Shapiro’s foundational text and companion workbook with extensive new information based on contemporary research and practice. Using the keystone model of academic skills as an overarching framework, the fifth edition provides practical guidance about research-based assessment and intervention procedures; equally important, it offers caveats about popular but largely ineffective tactics. This book will continue to be a fundamental text in school psychology training programs as well as a go-to resource for practitioners who work in multi-tiered systems of support. It really operationalizes how school psychologists should function. The fifth edition of the Workbook again offers useful reproducible forms and detailed procedures that support work in an instructional environment context."--Joseph F. Kovaleski, DEd, NCSP, Professor Emeritus of Educational and School Psychology, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
"The fifth edition of this seminal resource truly delivers. Every university trainer, school psychologist, and special educator will welcome this needed guide to addressing K-12 students’ academic challenges. Cutting-edge research is integrated into a comprehensive approach to assessment and intervention decision making within a multi-tiered systems of support framework. A particularly compelling feature of the text is the elegant yet simple approach to direct academic assessment using keystone skills that align with intervention selection. This book is a 'must have' for preservice training and professional development."--Robin S. Codding, PhD, BCBA, School Psychology Program, Northeastern University
“An essential text for individuals who engage in academic assessment, intervention, and/or data-based decision making in schools. The fifth edition is significantly updated with contemporary research, while retaining its comprehensive practitioner-oriented approach. The detailed, realistic case illustrations in the final chapter integrate all the content from the prior chapters. This unique book is a great text for school psychologists in training as well as practitioners seeking to further their professional development. Readers will appreciate the explicit guidance on how to conceptualize academic difficulties, use data to inform the selection of evidence-based interventions, and monitor progress. Useful tools are available in each chapter. I look forward to using the fifth edition in my Academic Interventions course.”--Stacy-Ann A. January, PhD, NCSP, School Psychology Program, University of South Florida
"Like prior editions, the fifth edition of Academic Skills Problems is a 'must' for any educator’s toolbox. Together, the text and workbook serve as an easy reference and support, with clearly organized topics treated in a thorough manner. The updated fifth edition is an apt tribute to the lifetime work of an incredible scholar, teacher, and mentor."--John L. Hosp, PhD, Special Education Program, University of Massachusetts Amherst
"Prior editions have been staple texts in psychoeducational assessment and intervention courses. The fifth edition of the text and workbook, updating Shapiro's foundational framework, are more inclusive of different types of assessments and offer critical considerations for implementation within response-to-intervention models. Clemens expands on the theoretical bases of academic skills to help professionals gain a deeper understanding of the assessments and interventions they are using. Graduate students, practitioners, and faculty in school psychology and special education all will benefit from using the fifth edition to inform their work."--Ethan R. Van Norman, PhD, School Psychology Program, Lehigh University-
