Details about The School Psychologist's Survival Guide Jossey-Bass Teacher Survival Guide:

School psychologists have a challenging job, helping students with moderate to severe disabilities, traveling back and forth to multiple school sites, meeting with concerned parents and overworked teachers, managing school crises, and more. Yet there are almost no truly practical resources to help them in their work. This Survival Guide from veteran school psychologist and popular blogger Rebecca Branstetter (Notes from the School Psychologist) offers new and experienced school psychologists a go-to resource with ready-to-use strategies and time-saving reproducible materials they can use every day.   Far from a dry textbook, The School Psychologists Survival Guide brings to life the nuts and bolts of school psychologythe practical side of the job. Written in an accessible style (with a dash of humor), the book explains how to bridge the gap between best practices according to research and the realities of working in a large school district bureaucracy with limited resources. Branstetter helps readers successfully navigate large case loads, legal and ethical realities, and crisis management.  The book also helps seasoned professionals fine-tune their skills with the latest ideas and theories, such as the Response to Intervention model, current models of crisis intervention, bilingual assessment, cognitive behavioral therapy, social skills groups, and the latest neuropsychological assessments.
