The second edition of this seminal reference is still the only book available that provides detailed, step-by-step guidance for using Motivational Interviewing (MI) to facilitate positive change in schools by working with parents, teachers, and students. Featuring readily accessible, proven strategies for promoting academic enabling behaviors, this text describes the defining principles, processes, and skills of MI. The new edition illuminates research-based strategies for building teacher, student, and parent engagement in school-based services, and identifies best-practice MI consultation skills, and tailors these interventions to the specific needs of teachers, students, and parents. Additionally, the book identifies methods for combining MI with other school-based intervention models as well as defining procedures for integrating MI within a school or across a school district.
