Handbook of Student Engagement Interventions: Working with Disengaged Students provides an understanding of the factors that contribute to student disengagement, methods for identifying students at risk, and intervention strategies to increase student engagement. With a focus on translating research into best practice, the book pulls together the current research on engagement in schools and empowers readers to craft and implement interventions. Users will find reviews on evidence-based academic, behavioral, social, mental health, and community-based interventions that will help increase all types of engagement.

It is a hands-on resource for educators, school psychologists, researchers, and students looking to gain insight into the research on this topic and the strategies that can be deployed to promote student engagement. - Presents practical strategies for engagement intervention and assessment - Covers early warning signs of disengagement and how to use these signs to promote engagement - Reviews contextual factors (families, peers, teachers) related to engagement - Focuses on increasing engagement and school completion for all students - Emphasizes multidimensional approaches to disengagement

本書は、教育という名の迷宮で「魂の不在」に苦しむ子どもたちへの、熱き救済の書である。学術的知見の羅列を越え、生徒が抱く孤独や疎外感の正体を慈愛に満ちた視座で解剖しており、そこには一人ひとりの「再起の物語」を信じる著者の気高い哲学が流れている。 特筆すべきは、不登校や停学という暗闇の先に、レジリエンスという名の希望を灯すための圧倒的な実効性だ。学校や地域を再定義し、次世代の可能性を見捨てない。これは単なる介入の手引書ではなく、社会の境界線に立つ魂を繋ぎ止めるための、叡智と情熱が結晶化した至高の人間讃歌なのである。
