Conducting School-Based
Assessments of Child and Adolescent Behavior
Edited by Edward S. Shapiro and Thomas R. Kratochwill |
 |
This hands-on guide is designed to help
school practitioners conduct
effective multidimensional assessments of a wide range of emotional
and behavioral difficulties. Each chapter focuses on a particular
method, describes its applications in the school setting, and offers
clear guidelines for implementation, illustrated with realistic case
examples. Approaches discussed include direct observation, analogue
assessment, child self-reports, teacher and parent interviewing,
informant reports, and self-monitoring procedures. Recommendations
for working with culturally and linguistically diverse children and
adolescents are also provided.
The theoretical and empirical underpinnings of the assessment
strategies demonstrated here are thoroughly reviewed in the companion
volume, Behavioral Assessment in Schools, Second Edition: Theory,
Research, and Clinical Foundations.
