EDU 653 - Rethinking At Risk” Students - Creating Promise (S-CI) “

3 Hour(s)

At Risk’ is a term which is used to describe an increasingly large population of children who are linguistically, economically or ethnically different from the mainstream. Students critically analyze the educational, social, and political views of children ‘at risk’ and explore alternatives of viewing such children as ‘at promise.’ Students address ways to view children’s heritage and experiences as strengths rather than deficits, and consider strategies for implementing the ‘at promise’ concept in classrooms, families, schools, and communities.
