Breaking Down the Barriers―A Guide to Student Services Supervision

Breaking Down the Barriers is the story of supervision and intervention in the public schools system. This text gives both theory and theory in action. It allows the practitioner to peruse the research that the practical applications are based upon, and follow the suggestions that are offered for the successful implementation of evidenced-based practice. Bulleted summaries at the end of the chapter highlight key elements of the practice, and the theory it is based upon. Specific case studies are given at the end of each chapter to generalize realistic situations, based upon the research, into a problem-solving format for the reader.
