American scholars of psychology and education summarize the current state of initiating and maintaining behavior change in clinical, developmental, and community psychology; delinquency prevention; and education. Their topics include an activity settings approach to child development and changing behavior in diverse societies, research and the development of culturally relevant instruction, and school reform and the education of culturally and linguistically diverse students.
