I can think of few in the field of education who have contributed more to creating safe and healthy school climates than Sprague and Walker."--Mark Katz, PhD, Director, Learning Development Services, San Diego, California-The book is easy to read and offers actionable, realistic guidance on improving school health and safety.--Doody's Review Service, 6/3/2022
