The curriculum: confronting neglect and abuse.
Abstract
Schools are in a position to serve as a central organizing agent for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. In delivering the curriculum, schools have access to children, their parents and their communities over extended periods of time. Initial teacher education, we propose, can offer student teachers extensive opportunities to become highly skilled in the effective observation of children who may be experiencing neglect or abuse. Incorporating such opportunities during training can, we suggest, work to prevent the neglect and abuse of children.
