Synopsis: The foundations of working with vulnerable populations are a vital part of understanding the nuances and complexities of working with children and adolescents in today's educational environments. The updated Second Edition of this book combines critical thinking and evidence-based interventions in the context of global issues, special education, and current societal issues affecting children today. The authors provide hands-on experiences, best practice approaches, and case examples throughout the book to demonstrate assessments and techniques in a culturally responsive and diverse school setting. Each chapter includes in-depth activities and self-reflection and class discussion questions that allow school social workers to thoughtfully apply their growing skills and knowledge to ethical dilemmas and real-life situations in schools.
