Descriere

Contributor(s):Author: Keith Herman Author: Wendy Reinke Author: Andy Frey"The authors of this book have made a very important contribution in producing a book that literally provides a roadmap for how to realize MI's potential in school and family contexts. They are the acknowledged leaders of MI in schools and deserve much credit for adapting this approach so well for effective use by educators. The content coverage of the book's chapters and its strong focus on the development of tools, strategies, and detailed, relevant examples of MI implementation in schools and also with families are, in my view, truly exemplary....I recommend it unconditionally as an invaluable resource for today's related services professional." Hill Walker, Ph D University of Oregon "This is an important, well-written and groundbreaking book. Motivational interviewing (MI) has been widely applied in health care, corrections, mental health and addiction services, and social work, but this is the first book to explore broadly how it can be used by school professionals. This is an up-to-date, well-documented presentation of the spirit and method of MI, integrating it with behavioral theory and research. Practical exercises and examples support learning of how to apply MI in everyday conversations about change with parents, teachers, students, families, and school-based teams." William R. Miller, Ph D The University of New Mexico "Motivational Interviewing has really influenced my thinking about instructional coaching, and I've often wished there was a book that applied the ideas to education. Finally, that book is here This book deepens our understanding of the personal experience of change and explains how that understanding helps us work with students, parents, teachers, and others within schools. If you're an educator, you should be interested in how people change; and, if you're interested in change, you should read this book."
