Recenzii
“In Developing Your School's Student Support Teams, seasoned educators Berta, Blonsky, and Wogan provide timely and thoughtful guidance to educational counselors and colleagues instrumental for fostering a culture of social and emotional support for student success. The text is ideal for both new and advanced professional educators interested in collaboratively organizing and deploying essential policies, programs, and services synergistically to ensure students’ retention, academic success, and personal development. The wisdom embedded within this accessible text is keenly needed in these turbulent times to animate school communities in service of students’ learning and flourishing.”
—Jason A. Laker, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Counselor Education, San Jose State University, USA
“This excellent guide provides a clear blueprint to develop effective support services for students. During my seventeen years of working with teams using the models illustrated in this book , we witnessed many improvements, sometimes even profound changes, in students’ academics, behavior, and even in their social lives. Not only did the teams build interventions based on students’ strengths, but in the process of problem-solving and brainstorming together, they produced more potent action plans, better than any of them could have alone. It does take some effort to set up these models and implement the strategies outlined in the book, but I believe this should be a required part of training for all teachers, administrators, school administrators, school social workers, counselors, and psychologists.”
—Candice Gregory, MSW, LCSW, School Social Worker and District Coordinator of Dropout Prevention Programs (ret), Alisal Unified School District
“Developing Your School's Student Support Teams is a practical guide that brings together essential elements of a holistic approach to children’s education. This marvelous publication lays out the power of organizing support from the home, the community, and the school to help support students’ success. ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ has never been truer. Having sample downloadable forms available online, as listed in the Appendix, is an added bonus.”
—Marco Orlando, Consultant (ret), California State Department of Educatio
“I used Developing Your School's Student Support Teams for a full-day training attended by school-site student support team coordinators and district administrators. We found the book to be a great reference guide to establishing systems that enable staff to work together toward student success. Having served as a school site principal and as a district administrator in charge of the dropout prevention program, I see the value of such a resource for student support teams helping to meet the diverse needs of students. This is a great book that I wish had been available when I was a principal.”
