Each chapter describes a particular skill, illustrates it using clear case examples across a range of settings and then helps you consolidate and practise what you've learned through a set of creative activities.
Further chapters cover professional issues including a new chapter on managing crises and chapters on ethical dilemmas, supervision, working with diversity and more.
A great easy to read 'primer' for those wanting a little more from their introductory courses, skills classes, or those just entering studies. My learners have particularly enjoyed the Q & A style real world approach, and the activities are 'just right' in terms of level and content. Overall, the book would make a great acquisition for learners and tutors alike, or for your LRC.
This textbook meets our needs for an introduction for lower division students preparing to work as paraprofessionals.
