Whether you are an administrator, teacher, or counselor interested in helping students change, particularly at-risk students or those who might be disengaged from school, this book and the skills it teaches should be a part of of your professional toolkit. A very straightforward and practical read, the book is a guide to the essential skills of Motivational Interviewing, and demonstrates how MI can be used to address a variety of challenges, including bullying, at-risk students, dropout prevention, and transition to life after school. The communication skills at the core of MI would even be useful for parents, clergy, and other adults who want to strengthen their abilities to support and help young people.
I am surprised how often I have used this method in the classroom, and there were parts I was blind to. I think the "righting reflex" is my biggest issue, no surprise. I really like this model and think it gives teachers some good tools to use while in conversation with a student. I don't think it can be applied broadly to the classroom. For instance, this method would not work in a group or when the conversation is in public. (Change conversations don't go well when in public.)
This is a solid foundation to MI in the education space- although a little out dated at times. I would recommend this to get familiar with OARS framework.
