High-Risk Children In Schools

<p><strong><em>High Risk Children in Schools</em></strong> offers a way for psychologists and educators to see and talk about the growing population of at-risk children--those likely to fail at formal schooling--while helping to redefine the relationship between schools and families.<br><br> Using systems theory and developmental psychology the authors present a new framework for the study and education of children who are at-risk. This framework--the Contextual Systems Model--creates a dialogue between the child and schooling through which meaning goals and experiences are shared and accepted.</p>
