Handbook of Multicultural School Psychology, 2nd Edition is required reading for any school psychology practitioner and graduate student. As school psychologists serve more diverse learners, this text provides an important resource in developing increased cultural competence with topics ranging from assessment to intervention with students and families. The questions at the end of each chapter lead to greater self-reflection and discussions to influence the study and practice of school psychology from a multicultural lens. -Erika Wood, Certified School Psychologist, New Town High School, Cedarmere Elementary, USA Ideal for pre-service and in-service training on multicultural school psychology, this comprehensive and interdisciplinary book exposes readers to theory and research from various approaches. The new section on systemic issues, such as RtI for CLD and ELL students, is especially timely. -Chieh Li, Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Training, School Psychology Program, Department of Applied Psychology, Northeastern University, USA As North America continues its evolution as a multicultural and multilingual continent, as many segments of our society contend with injustice and bias, and as our school systems and communities face increasingly complex challenges in promoting the academic, socio-emotional, and multicultural competence of our youngest generations, there exists no better book in the field to guide school psychologists and related professionals in their day-to-day service delivery, consultation, research, and training. Simply put, this new edition of Handbook of Multicultural School Psychology is an integrative masterpiece of interdisciplinary applied science that should be on the shelf or e-reader of every school psychologist in America. -Joseph Ponterotto, Professor, Counseling Psychology, Graduate School of Education, Fordham University, USA
