No one contests the premise that education is the bedrock upon which the economic future of the American nation is founded. What varies among contesting views on education are what strategies and approaches are best to maximize student academic performance. Now in an newly expanded and updated second edition, “Effective School Interventions: Evidence-Based Strategies For Improving Student Outcomes” by Natalie Rathvon (Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychology at The George Washington University) is a comprehensive and scholarly study organized into two major sections: ‘The Intervention Assistance Approach To Improving Student Outcomes’ and ‘Evidence-Based School Interventions’. This new edition has been expanded to include new features and resources including additional guidance on legal issues and ethics for practitioners who are part of team-based intervention assistance programs; a ‘cross-reference box’ to help readers locate strategies in other sections or chapters with similar components but different targets; ‘Special topics sections’ highlighting key concepts, critical issues, and best practices; an an appendix for each of the four intervention chapters helping readers in quickly locating appropriate strategies and comparing strategies within the same domains. Exhaustive, comprehensive, superbly organized and presented, this new edition of “Effective School Interventions” is a core and seminal addition to professional and academic library Educational Studies & Practices reference collections and reading lists.
