Series prefaceAs revealed by its title, this booklet shows how schools can be madesafe and welcoming places for children. Such schools are likely tofoster children’s learning and their motivation to continue learningthroughout their lives.The booklet has been prepared for inclusion in the EducationalPractices Series developed by the International Academy of Educationand distributed by the International Bureau of Education and theAcademy. As part of its mission, the Academy provides timelysyntheses of research on educational topics of internationalimportance. This booklet is one in a series on educational practicesthat generally improve learning.The author, Dr John E. Mayer, is not only a distinguished scholarand educator, but a clinical psychologist, author, lecturer and schoolconsultant who has been internationally acclaimed for his work inhelping schools and families. He received his doctorate in clinicalpsychology from Northwestern University Medical School inChicago, Illinois. For over twenty-five years, Dr Mayer has assistedschools in creating learning environments that help young peoplethrive. His newsletter, Mayer’s memo, is in its nineteenth year ofdistribution and provides schools with guidance on improvingstudents’ lives.The officers of the International Academy of Education are awarethat this booklet is based on research carried out primarily ineconomically advanced countries. The booklet, however, focuses onaspects of behaviour and school management that are universal. Thepractices presented here are likely to be generally applicablethroughout the world. Indeed, they might be especially useful incountries that are currently less developed economically. Even so, theprinciples should be assessed with reference to local conditions, andadapted accordingly. In any educational setting or cultural context,suggestions or guidelines for practice require sensitive and sensibleapplication, and continuing evaluation.HERBERT J.
