About the Author

Ron Avi Astor, PhD, MA, MSW, is Stein-Wood Professor of School Behavioral Health at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work in the University of Southern California. His work examines the role of the physical, social-organizational, and cultural contexts in schools related to school violence (e.g., sexual harassment, bullying, school fights, emotional abuse, weapon use, and teacher/child violence), and has documented the ecological influences of the family, community, school, and culture on different forms of school violence. Currently, Dr. Astor is applying knowledge gained from these prior studies to improve climate in military-connected schools.

Linda Jacobson is an award-winning education writer and editor whose coverage spans the early-childhood years through the transition into college or a career. In addition to reporting, she has worked with researchers, think tanks and nonprofit organizations to translate complex education topics for average readers. Her experience also includes organizing professional development conferences for journalists and advising writers on covering education issues.

Stephani Wrabel, PhD, MEd, is an Associate Policy Researcher at the RAND Corporation. Her research interests include student mobility and schools serving highly mobile enrollments, the design and effects of federal and state accountability policy, military-connected students and schools, and the quality, accuracy, and use of data to inform policy and practice.

Rami Benbenishty, PhD, MSW, is Professor at the Louis & Gabi Weisfeld School of Social work in Bar Ilan University. His main area of academic focus is the safety, welfare, and well-being of children in community normative settings (such as schools) and in out-of-home placements (such as foster homes) and residential care. Dr. Benbenishty is an advocate for children's rights in Israel and around the globe.

Diana Pineda, MSW, MHA, is the Project Director for Welcoming Practices. Previously, Pineda was the project manager for Building Capacity in Military-Connected Schools based in San Diego. Pineda had worked with the USC Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans & Military Families as a project manager for a study that educated and empowered veterans and families through the use of technology. She is co-author of several health research articles and co-author of the Pupil Personnel Guide for Supporting Students from Military Families. Pineda is also an adjunct lecturer at USC and consults as a Problem Solving Therapy (PST) trainer. She earned a psychology degree from the University of California, Irvine, and Master's degrees in social work and health administration from USC.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
