Death Education and the Educator

by James H. Miller, Anthony F. Rotatori

With the impact of mainstreaming, general educators need to understand the concerns of the terminally ill and handicapped student; there is also an increasing rate of suicide among children and youth. Educators need to respond appropriately to these high-risk students and in the aftermath of a suicide or death in the family. The authors of this book—one a former classroom teacher, the other a school psychologist—provide general and special educators with a knowledge about death anxiety, the problem of suicide, research on death, assessment procedures for evaluating death anxiety and suicide, and training ideas to deal with the issue of death in the educational setting.
