Year by year the educational landscape continues to diversify across lines of race and culture. This poses a significant challenge to school psychologists and allied educational professionals worldwide: they must recognize and serve the needs of students and families with widely different language and cultural backgrounds. Today’s school psychologists require a basic understanding of the impact of language and culture on students and on individuals they interact with daily.
The Encyclopedia of Cross-Cultural School Psychology (ECCSP) addresses this need with some 400 entries by leading researchers, educators, and practitioners in school psychology and education. Each entry offers a definition and description of the term, a bibliography, and additional references. ECCSP provides a concise and accessible one-volume reference spanning six key cross-cultural competency areas: Legal and Ethical Issues; School Culture, Educational Policy, and Institutional Advocacy; Psychoeducational Assessment and Related Issues; Academic, Therapeutic, and Consultative Intervention; Working with Interpreters and Research.
Designed as a one-stop, easy-to-read reference, with comprehensive (A to Z) coverage of cross-cultural psychology and education in the schools Provides reference lists after each entry for readers interested seeking out additional information No other electronic + print resource of its kind currently exists Organization and clarity allows users to access terms easily Presents issues in cross-cultural school psychology and education from pre-K through 12th grade, offering a lifespan approach

From the reviews:
“This two-volume encyclopaedia is a resource to guide school psychologists in the delivery of culturally appropriate support and counselling. … gives a useful basic overview of many of the topics encountered in cross-cultural school psychology and will be relevant for school psychologists, counsellors, social workers and all practitioners working with children, along with students and researchers in this field.” (Rachael Whitfield, Reference Reviews, Vol. 24 (7), 2010)()
