Bestselling author and veteran school counselor Linda Metcalf offers a solution-focused approach for changing the way schools deal with a variety of issues. From an alternative school program that enlists the power of teacher mentors to the elementary program that involves the teacher, parent, and student in the counseling process, this book shows how to make change happen and how to make it last. Targeting the information to specific age groups—elementary school students, middle schoolers, and adolescents—the book Includes techniques and suggestions for training staff to become more solution-focused and student-centered; working together with teams, teachers, and parents so that the “system” creates and maintains change; and creating support groups for parents and students.
