Year by year the educational landscape continues to diversify across lines of race and culture. This poses a significant challenge to school psychologists and allied educational professionals worldwide: they must recognize and serve the needs of students and families with widely different language and cultural backgrounds. Today’s school psychologists require a basic understanding of the impact of language and culture on students and on individuals they interact with daily.

The Encyclopedia of Cross-Cultural School Psychology (ECCSP) addresses this need with some 400 entries by leading researchers, educators, and practitioners in school psychology and education. Each entry offers a definition and description of the term, a bibliography, and additional references. ECCSP provides a concise and accessible one-volume reference spanning six key cross-cultural competency areas: Legal and Ethical Issues; School Culture, Educational Policy, and Institutional Advocacy; Psychoeducational Assessment and Related Issues; Academic, Therapeutic, and Consultative Intervention; Working with Interpreters and Research.
