10. Developing Successful Strategies for At-Risk Youth (2004)
An Annotated List of Resources for Those Designing Youth Programmes
Authors: Nunavut Literacy Council
Teachers and educators want to improve the likelihood of students graduating from high school and want to support youth who have already dropped out of school. These young people are what are usually referred to as “at-risk youth”. "At-risk youth" may also apply to those who have emotional or behavioural issues. Many factors contribute to youth becoming at risk.
The Nunavut Literacy Council developed this resource to help teachers and other educators support at-risk youth. Included are programming ideas, classroom resources, and Internet resources complete with annotations, ISBNs, websites, and information on how to contact publishers.
