Download or read book Children s Social Workers Perceptions of the Educational Experiences of Children in Foster Care written by Rocio Silva and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine Children's Social Workers' (CSWs) perceptions of the educational experiences of children in foster care using a sample of 67 CSWs. The results of this study indicated that the biggest educational challenges faced by children in foster care were stress/change made if difficult for them to concentrate in school, attendance problems and the lack of an educational advocate. The systemic factors that most influenced these children's educational outcomes were multiple placements and caseloads that made it difficult for workers to appropriately monitor children's education. The strategies to improve the educational experiences of children in foster care most frequently endorsed were mentoring, tutoring and training for school and child welfare staff on laws regarding the educational rights of children in foster care. There were few differences in CSWs' perceptions based on gender or ethnicity and years of experience. Implications for social work practice and future research are discussed.

Download or read book Handbook of Implementation Science for Psychology in Education written by Barbara Kelly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to help policy makers, stakeholders, practitioners, and teachers in psychology and education provide more effective interventions in educational contexts. It responds to disappointment and global concern about the failure to implement psychological and other interventions successfully in real-world contexts. Often interventions, carefully designed and trialed under controlled conditions, prove unpredictable or ineffective in uncontrolled, real-life situations. This book looks at why this is the case and pulls together evidence from a range of sources to create original frameworks and guidelines for effective implementation of interventions.

Download or read book Leadership Gender and Organization written by Mollie Painter-Morland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides perspectives on the way in which gender plays a role in leadership dynamics and ethics within organizations. It seeks to offer new theoretical models for thinking about leadership and organizational influence. Most studies of women’s leadership draw on an ethics of care as characteristic of the way women lead, but as such, it tends towards essentialist gender stereotypes and does little to explain the complex systemic variables that influence the functioning of women within organizations. This book moves beyond the canon in exploring alternative paradigms for thinking about leadership and gender in organizations. The authors draw on the literature available in systems thinking, systemic leadership, and gender theory to offer alternative perspectives for thinking about the ways women lead. The book offers invaluable theoretical perspectives and insightful narratives to graduate students and researchers who are interested in women’s leadership, gender and organization. It will be of interest to all women in leadership positions, but specifically to those interested in understanding the systemic nature of leadership and their role within it.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Adoption written by Gretchen Miller Wrobel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoption is practiced globally yielding a multidimensional area of study that cannot be characterized by a single movement or discipline. This handbook provides a central source of contemporary scholarship from a variety of disciplines with an international perspective and uses a multifaceted and interdisciplinary approach to ground adoption practices and activities in scientific research. Perspectives of birth/first parents, adoptive parents, and adopted persons are brought forth through a range of disciplinary and theoretical lenses. Beginning with background and context of adoption, including sociocultural and political contexts, the handbook then addresses the diversity of adoptive families in terms of family forms, attitudes about adoption, and characteristics of adopted children. Next, research examining the lived experience of adoption for birth parents, adoptive parents, and adopted individuals is presented. A variety of outcomes for internationally and domestically adopted children and adoptive families is then discussed and the handbook concludes by addressing the development, training, and implementation of adoption competent clinical practice. With cutting-edge research from top international scholars in a diversity of fields, The Routledge Handbook of Adoption should be considered essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners across the fields of social work, sociology, psychology, medicine, family science, education, and demography.
