Sommario/riassunto

From Risk to Resiliency offers continuation school developers and classroom teachers a wide range of in-depth choices in which to create resilient, school-wide change. It offers educational leaders research-based evidence in which to overcome common, closely-held beliefs as to the incapacities of continuation school stakeholders and students. Finally, it provides theoretical foundations in which to identify, construct, and measure data-based, educational criteria, necessary for growing program effectiveness.
