The Solution Focused Approach has long been recognised as having a great deal to offer the field of education and schools in particular. Solution Focused Practice in Schools presents the SF Approach in simple, easy to apply methods that hard-pressed school personnel can adapt to their everyday work whether the focus is on learning, behaviour, social and emotional development or peer support. There will be clear pointers to work outside the classroom as well, at management and whole school levels. It will be an indispensable aid for teachers, teaching assistants, managers, educational psychologists, learning mentors, counsellors, and coaches,– essentially, everyone involved in day to day work in schools whether the focus is on the early years, primary or secondary ages.

Solution Focused Practice is a change-focused approach to enabling people of all ages to make progress in their lives by emphasising what is wanted in the future, amplifying successes and highlighting the capacities and skills available to support progress. Grounded in the reality of the day-to-day challenges of school life, Solution Focused Practice in Schools: 80 Ideas and Strategies offers dynamic, practical, down-to-earth and jargon-free applications of the Solution Focused (SF) approach that can create energy and movement in even the toughest of situations. From working with individuals to considering organisational developments, this book explores the SF approach using numerous examples and sample questions that can be adapted for any situation and whether the time available is long or short.
