Grounded in cutting-edge theory and research, this book presents innovative, classroom-based strategies for promoting the academic competence and mental health of students at risk. Easy-to-implement procedures are described that enlist the involvement of school practitioners, teachers, and students in creating nurturing, success-oriented classroom environments. Readers are guided step by step to understand what makes a classroom a healthy place to learn; recognize when essential socioemotional supports are missing; intervene to put those supports in place; and demonstrate the positive effects on student learning and development. The volume is designed for maximum ease of use with a large-size format and lay-flat binding. Special features include helpful reproducible worksheets and forms.

Beth Doll, PhD, is Professor and Director of the school psychology program at the University of Nebraska/n-/Lincoln. She has directed several training grants preparing teachers and school psychologists to support the success of students with disabilities in regular classrooms. Her research addresses models of school mental health that enhance the well-being of students in naturally occurring communities, and program evaluation strategies that demonstrate the impact of school mental health services.

Steven Zucker, PhD, is Assistant Professor and Coordinator of the school psychology program at the University of Colorado at Denver. As a practicing school psychologist, he developed a noncategorical service delivery model that allowed at-risk students to receive support services without disability labels. His current research explores the efficacy of classroom-based interventions that foster academic and social competence.

Katherine Brehm, PhD, is Associate Professor of School Psychology in the Department of Educational Psychology and Special Services at the University of Texas at El Paso. A practicing school psychologist, her research interests include consultation and contextual intervention to support emotionally and academically successful students in culturally diverse classrooms.
