Success Stories
• At Boston Evening Academy, 94% of students have fewer absences than they did last school year, thanks to a new attendance policy put in place after a Supporting At-Risk Students workshop.

• With a new advisee system based on the Supporting At-Risk Students model, Champion Charter School teachers report a positive rapport with their student-advisees, and counselors report a lighter load, thanks to students consulting with their advisors.

Praise for Books and Workshops

Supporting At-Risk Students is an excellent source of ideas and tips—a must read for teachers, counselors, and school leaders working with high-risk students. The book presents an array of effective interventions and proven practices useful at all school levels for youth in at-risk situations. It is a wonderful guide for school and community leaders to use as a tool for staff development, and it contains new ideas to enhance dropout prevention programs.

Supporting At-Risk Students is a formula for success! A lot can be learned from this model. They personalize their program in a small-group setting. They hold students to high standards of accountability. They help students see that a healthy internal locus of control is the epitome of success in life. And the students are mentored by a group of strong, caring and persistent adults.
