Overview
"Full-service schools are the schools of the future". -- Senator Edward M. Kennedy A growing consensus supports the idea that schools cannot go it alone, they cannot respond to the overwhelming needs of today's children, youth, and families. This inventive book details why and how full-service schools -- schools which integrate quality education and support services-must be created in order to produce positive outcomes for students and their families. Full-Service Schools profiles a decade of successful collaborations already in practice, showing how social services and health care agencies are providing -- at the school site -- everything from basic health screening and psycho-social counseling to drug-abuse treatment and parent education programs. This book shows why it is essential that schools join with local community organizations to provide vital support services for children and families in need.
