Resource request on child maltreatment and K-12 education

["Amy Shadoin" <ashadoin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List Members,
I am searching for resources, texts or scholarly articles on K-12 school system responses to child maltreatment, particularly as concerns issues of policy development, policy implementation and professional training on child abuse and neglect prevention and intervention from the perspective of teachers, principals and other system administrators.  I'd also be interested in work that addresses the impact of child maltreatment on children's classroom experiences and behaviors, cognitive performance, and educational achievement.  I'm finding a lot of information on model programs designed for use with children in the classroom setting, but that is not my focus for this project.  Can anyone direct me to resources that are more aligned with addressing the larger public educational policy picture and longer-term impact on education rather than ones that are concentrated on development and evaluation of front-line programs for children?
Thanks in advance,
 
Amy
