This helpful resource also outlines school-aged children′s and adolescents′ response to acculturation based on educators' perceptions and expectations of these individuals' school success."</em>--Joyce Williams Bergin, Professor and Assistant Dean, College of Education (4/22/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"This book is timely and an important resource for all schools with diverse populations to have in their professional libraries and in their Child Study Team rooms. This book would also be a complete text to use in an ESOL certification class devoted to planning interventions for students of concern."</em>--Karen Kozy-Landress, Speech/Language Pathologist (4/22/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"This book offers a detailed, easy-to-follow approach to determining the needs of students who are having difficulty learning, including assessments and interventions. I am putting the knowledge I obtained to good use, and will continue to use it as a reference. </em>--Kay Kuenzl-Stenerson, Literacy Coach (5/18/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"This is a complete guide for practitioners. I would be able to pick up the book and determine my child′s stage in the study team process and where we should go next. Each step in the book stands alone as a reference."</em>--Margarete Couture, Principal (4/22/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br>
