Sherrell Bergmann

In their new book, Bergmann and Brough provide a clear path to follow for helping your at-risk students achieve success in and out of the classroom. Packed with classroom-tested, practical strategies and lesson plans for teaching respect, responsibility, resilience, reading, and other essential skills to at-risk students, this is a must-have book for educators at all levels.

Each chapter is dedicated to a different skill and offers easy-to-implement activities and strategies based on achieving success in that essential skill. For example: Strategies for establishing positive peer relationships Cooperative treasure hunting for resilience building Keys to structured role-playing for conflict resolution Each chapter includes a component about what parents and caregivers can do to help their at-risk children achieve success, and provides a basis for effective communication between educator and parent, an important piece of the puzzle often overlooked.
