How does growing up in a military family affect the educational experiences of children and youth? What can K–12 school practitioners do to support these students' academic, behavioral, and social-emotional success? This book describes effective ways to help students and their families navigate such challenges as relocation, school transitions, and parental deployment. Pamela Fenning presents strengths-based assessment, intervention, and prevention strategies that reflect deep knowledge of military culture and fit perfectly within a multi-tiered schoolwide system of support. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes a reproducible data collection form that can be downloaded and printed for repeated use. This title is part of The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series , edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
