Welcome to the Center for Effective Collaboration and
Practice's Author Online page! Here you can join discussions with authors
of articles relating to emotional and behavioral problems. The Center believes this will
be a great place to bring people and ideas together. Before joining the discussion, please
visit our Etiquette Guidelines. In this forum, we encourage
you to:
- ask the author(s) to clarify a point, elaborate further, or
give more examples
- share your own experiences and perspectives
- invite other readers to describe what they are thinking,
planning, and doing in this area.
The Center is happy to be able to provide this opportunity
for close collaboration between researchers and others working with children and youth who
have emotional and behavioral problems.
The National Center to Improve Practice
also hosts an Author Online forum in collaboration with the Council for Exceptional Children. Their
forum features authors of articles from TEACHING Exceptional
Children. We encourage you to visit their discussions as well.
