Main description:

Implementation Science Foundations of School Psychology Research and Practice explores solutions to the common barriers that slow adoption and delivery of evidence-based practices within school psychology contexts. This comprehensive text works to reduce the science-to-practice gap by preparing readers to successfully and effectively translate cutting-edge research into actionable practices. Chapters applicable across many contexts and interventions cover each step of the implementation process, from selection through execution and beyond. This is an essential volume for researchers and practitioners looking to improve service delivery and optimize implementation outcomes in schools.
