Children At Risk: An Urban Education Network Conference Proceedings. (Louisville, KY, December 1985). Occasional Paper No. 023.
Penn, Patricia, Ed.
The Urban Education Network is comprised of the largest school districts in 14 states. In December 1985 the Network hosted a conference for its members on efforts to improve teaching and learning in urban schools. The following papers presented at the conference are included: (1) "Thinking about the Undoable: Dropout Programs" (Dale Mann), which identifies the four Cs--cash, care/concern, computers, and coalitions--in successful dropout programs; and (2) "Human Realities: A Comprehensive Approach to Children at Risk" (James B. Boyer), which calls for low-threat, high-quality instructional delivery to reduce the anxiety that at risk children feel. Also included are summaries of the following study reports delivered at the conference: (1) Instructional Risk (Patricia Milazzo); (2) The Milwaukee Study of Children at Risk (John F. Witte); (3) The Cincinnati Study of Children at Risk (Joseph Gastright, John H. Grate); and (4) The Learning to Learn Program (Ellen Racioppi). Information on how to get copies of materials covered during the conference is provided. An appendix provides the conference agenda. (BJV)
