Recenzje

"Full Service Schools provides the historical perspective, vision, and parameters for developing collaborative partnerships for school–linked services." (Norma Paulus, state superintAndent of public instruction, Oregon Department of Education)

"Full–service schools are the schools of the future. As Joy Dryfoos makes clear, more services under the school roof mean better education too. Putting real social services in schools means more teachers can stop being part–time social workers and start being full–time teachers again.′′ (Senator Edward M. Kennedy)

"All of us interested in improving the health and education of our children should read this book. It tells us of an important movement –– full–service schools –– and how we can extAnd its growth." (Julius B. Richomond, M.D., John D. MacArthur Professor of Health Policy, Emeritus, Harvard Medical School, former Assistant Secretary for Health and Surgeon General)

"During the past decade there has been an urgent call for our nation to reconceive and regenerate its health policies for youth and families. Full–Service Schools provides a useful template for our response." (Lloyd J. Kolbe, director, Division of Adolescent and School Health, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

"Policy makers, practitioners, administrators, and parents will find here thoughtful answers to their questions about how communities can help provide all of America′s children with the services and supports they need to succeed at school –– and ultimately in life." (Lisbeth B. Schorr, lecturer in social medicine, Harvard University, and author of Within Our Reach: Breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage)
