Description:

This course addresses the development of more effective interventions for at risk learners with a focus on children in poverty and children suffering social and emotional risks.

The course will consider social initiatives that nurture strengths and resiliency (e.g. new models of resiliency will also be examined). Attention will be given to the different sources and different expressions of risk and resilience across race, class, gender, and culture. Learning Associates' primary work will be to develop a proposal for an intervention using social initiatives.
