Description: "The Encyclopedia of School Psychology is the first comprehensive guide to this field featuring the latest research on school learning, motivation, and educational assessment. Approximately 250 entries by 175 contributing authors from psychology, education and counseling, child development, and special education address student success, behavior disorders, intelligence testing, learning disabilities, strategies to improve academic skills, and more." "This single-volume reference was designed to provide the depth and breadth of content students and scholars need to understand all concepts related to psychology in schools. Education is at the forefront of the nation's awareness as the media continue to focus on troubling issues such as violence in our schools and the challenges some schools face in meeting national standards." "The Encyclopedia of School Psychology provides both an introduction to the field and a way for experienced practitioners to gain a deeper understanding of how school psychology has progressed to match the demands of the 21st century."--BOOK JACKET
