Relationships Between Consultation Training and Practice: Serving Families and Schools

• Children and families face more challenges than at any time in recent history. For example, there are increasing numbers of children who live in poverty, and/or single-parent homes. • Schools are being called to engage in deeper partnerships with parents and communities to address these complex needs (Ysseldyke et al., 1997). • Consequently, home-school partnership models have become a top priority in the field of school psychology (Christenson, 2004; Ysseldyke et al., 1997). • Additionally, indirect services are emphasized more than ever before, with data-based consultation models being recognized as an essential skill in the school psychologist’s repertoire (Sheridan & Gutkin, 2000). • Conjoint behavioral consultation (CBC; Sheridan, Kratochwill, & Bergan, 1996) is one method of service delivery that meets the challenges these issues present

CBC Through a New Lens: Exploring Individual Outcomes in Groups

- Untreated behavior problems in elementary school students can result in a trajectory of negative life outcomes, which include more failed courses, lower grade point averages, increased absenteeism, and higher retention rates compared to other students (Wagner et al., 1993). - Family-school partnerships and parental involvement in interventions and educational programs positively correlate with favorable outcomes for students, families, and teachers (e.g., Grolnick & Slowiaczek, 1994). - Conjoint Behavioral Consultation (CBC; Sheridan, Kratochwill, & Bergan, 1996; Sheridan & Kratochwill, in press) maintains promise as an evidence-based model for increasing ongoing, collaborative family-school interactions (Guli, 2005). - Conducted with parents and teachers together, as joint consultees. - Concerns are identified, analyzed, and addressed through collaborative interactions between the consultees and guidance from a consultant. - Modified recently to (a) provide CBC in a small, group format (i.e., the families of 2-3 students and their teacher) and (b) assure intervention implementation integrity and appropriate levels of consultant support. - A large-scale, randomized clinical trial is being conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the modified CBC process and to expand upon the single-case experimental research on CBC as a promising, evidence-based consultation model. - The current study investigated preliminary findings from a subset of the clinical trial

The Market Price Premium for Residential PV Plants

Real estate literature investigates how housing attributes are capitalized into home prices. In this respect, photovoltaic (PV) plants installation can be viewed as a quality improvement in the home. Domestic PV plants are in fact usually meant to improve buildings energy efficiency and increase savings on energy bills thanks to self-consumption of PV energy. Regardless the continuous growth of the residential solar home market, there is little direct evidence on the capitalization effect of PV systems on real estate assets. Specifically, there is a lack in the Italian literature on the market price premium for solar homes. The aim of the paper is contributing to fill this gap. In detail, we implemented a contingent valuation approach to determine the market price premium for solar homes. Our results show that individuals are willing to pay an additional price for a solar home, and the average market price premium is equal to 2.69% for monocrystalline PV plants and equal to 3.08% for polycrystalline PV plants respectively
