About the Course

This practical sourcebook is designed for psychologists, counselors, social workers, school consultants, special educators, and other health care professionals who provide services to or seek knowledge of effective strategies to improve the classroom learning environment, raise academic achievement, and improve student behavior and social competence. The book presents more than 70 empirically validated interventions in a brief, user-friendly format that describes the purpose of the strategy, materials needed, and step-by-step implementation procedures. The interventions have been field tested for practicality as well as effectiveness and can be delivered with materials available in typical classrooms. Also presented are guidelines and best practices for designing, implementing, and evaluating school-based interventions and case examples illustrating how several interventions can be combined to create a comprehensive program for individual students or entire classes.

This course is based on the book, Effective School Interventions: Strategies for Enhancing Academic Achievement and Social Competence created by Natalie Rathvon, Ph.D.
