Written in a clear and accessible style, the text is suitable for graduate students, novice practitioners, and experienced professionals alike.

The revised and expanded second edition of this book includes two new chapters, one on collaboration and consultation within teams, and another on teleconsultation, which have become increasingly relevant in today's digital age. In addition, the content has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest research, professional standards, and practices in socially just and culturally responsive consultation.

The book provides invaluable context, reflection activities, videos featuring fellow consultation experts, and resources that seamlessly translate academic findings into practical skills that can be applied immediately. These resources are freely downloadable, enhancing the reader's experience and facilitating their learning journey.

By addressing the need for practical and comprehensive consultation training, Building Competence in School Consultation, Second Edition, empowers school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals to excel in their roles and make a positive impact on the lives of students and educators.
