商品簡介
Veteran middle school, high school, and university teachers Bergmann and Brough outline a framework for helping at-risk students, such as those with learning problems and behavior problems, based on developing six competencies: resilience, resourcefulness, responsibility, relationships, respect, and reading. Their proactive approach is designed to keep kids in school and keep them motivated to learn, especially during the transition to middle school and the transition to high school. Each chapter gives background on recent research related to one of the competencies, describes how students develop it, and then gives many specific ideas for what teachers, administrators, and parents can do to help them develop it, with ideas for classroom activities plus activity worksheets. A companion web site includes activity materials such as a student decision-making log, an independent study proposal, and a respect chart. There is no subject index.
