Classification and Ideas for At-Risk Students This site defines the characteristics of at-risk students and suggests ideas and methods to help at-risk students succeed in school. First, we need to try to define an at-risk student. There is not one precise definition to define an at-risk student. One book written by Slavin defines at-risk students as "are those [students] who, on the basis of several risk factors, are unlikely to graduate from high school." "Among these risk factors would be low achievement, retention in grade, behavior problems, poor attendance, and low socioeconomic status" (Slavin, 5). Slavin's definition is broad. To better explain what an at-risk student is, I will break the factors down into five categories: Family life Health/nutrition Community conditions Social status School influence CLASSIFICATION OF AT-RISK STUDENTS Family factors: Students who are being raised by single parents may not get the extra help needed to improve their studies Also, if a parent is severely abusive or neglects the child, this will impact the

Critical Issue: Using Technology to Enhance Engaged Learning for At-Risk Students ISSUE: An increasing number of educators are calling for high standards and challenging learning activities for at-risk students. New technologies can provide meaningful learning experiences for all children, especially those at risk of educational failure. Schools that capitalize on the relationship between technology and education reform will help students to develop higher order skills and to function effectively in the world beyond the classroom. Achieving such fundamental change, however, requires a transformation of not only the underlying pedagogy (basic assumptions about the teaching and learning process) but also the kinds of technology applications typically used in classrooms serving at-risk students. OVERVIEW: The vision of classrooms structured around student involvement in challenging, long-term projects and focused on meaningful, engaged learning is important for all students. Yet such a change in practice would be especially dramatic for those students who have been characterized as "economically disadvantaged" or "at risk." Traditionally, schools have had lower expectations for such students. Teachers have emphasized the acquisition of basic skills for at-risk students, often in special pull-out programs or in lower level tracks. Hixson and Tinzmann (1990), however, note that

Who Are the "At-Risk" Students of the 1990s? J. Hixson and M.B. Tinzmann NCREL, Oak Brook, 1990 Introduction Throughout this series we have addressed critical dimensions of the restructuring process. The first five programs addressed structural issues: new goals or definitions for learning, the content and organization of the curriculum, collaborative methods for instruction, multidimensional strategies for assessment, and creating schools that are true learning communities. The next three programs focused on strategies for initiating, nurturing, and sustaining these structural changes, and the critical importance of professional development as the foundation on which new models for schooling will be built. Collectively, these dimensions form a framework of strategic priorities for the types of fundamental changes we believe are necessary to prepare today's schools and students to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In this last program, however, we turn our attention to the special implications of these proposals for the growing number of students for whom the traditional approaches to organizing and delivering instruction have worked least wellthose students most "at risk" of not completing or benefiting from their elementary and secondary experiences. It is, after all, primarily the failure of schools, as they are currently organized, to successfully educate this portion of the student population that has caused us to become "a nation at risk."

In some major cities the rate is 40 percent. Higher standards in the public schools have affected millions of minority and disadvantaged students who are "at-risk." Educational reform has changed the rules before the system has had a chance to accommodate to an increasing number of students who are dropping out and becoming a burden to society. The identification of at-risk students and the development of programs to prevent their failure are necessary components of ducational reform. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AT-RISK STUDENTS?

In 1997, more adolescents died from suicide than AIDS, cancer, heart disease, birth defects and lung disease. Suicide claims more adolescents than any disease or natural cause. Adolescents now commit suicide at a higher rate than the national average of all ages. The rate of adolescent suicide in adolescent males has tripled between 1960 and 1980. Suicide rates for adolescent females have increased between two to three fold. There have been striking increases in suicidal behaviors among African American males, Native American males and children under 14. Much of the increase can be accounted for by deaths due to guns.

Preventing Antisocial Behavior in Disabled and At-Risk Students Appalachia Educational Laboratory (opens in a new window) Section I Risk and Antisocial Behavior Section II Prevention and Policy Practice The public expects schools to socialize children as well as to educate them.1 In fact, socialization, rather than academics, is why many parents choose public education over private or home school. However, public criticism of schools' performance in both roles has increased in recent years. The public wants schools to be responsible not only for improving achievement but also for curbing disruptive, violent, and antisocial behavior. As a result, support is growing for "zero tolerance" discipline policies and alternative school placement for disruptive students. Discussions about discipline have especially focused on special education students. Some teachers and parents are against the inclusion of potentially disruptive students in regular education classrooms and schools. They want to change laws and policies that discourage exclusion, suspension, and expulsion of such students. However, for children suffering from disabilities and other risk factors like poverty, crime, and abuse, traditional discipline methods and policies may exacerbate rather than remedy problem behavior.2 Discipline reacts to behavior that has already occurred. Schools may also need to focus their efforts on prevention. David Hawkins, professor of social work and director of a 10-year delinquency prevention study at the University of Washington in Seattle, worked as a probation officer in the 1970s. He says

The Center for the Study and Teaching of At-Risk Students (C-STARS) was founded in 1987 and is housed in the College of Education at the University of Washington. The mission of C-STARS is to join with and help facilitate efforts by K-12 schools and early childhood education programs to link with institutions of higher education, community based organizations, and business partners to better meet the needs of ALL students and their families. The focus of these efforts ultimately addresses academic achievement and dropout prevention, particularly among student populations that disproportionately experience difficulty with school success.
