Overview

School administrators, counselors, teachers, and support staff are faced daily with a growing number of students who are affected by personal issues, alienation, and the anonymity found in our large secondary schools. Unfortunately, in their effort to support students, caring educators often find themselves boxed in by an out-of-date and flawed intervention system that limits their potential to help. Here, William Fibkins argues that the present secondary school intervention system—which focuses on few counselors with good intentions—cannot handle the numerous problems that arise in our large secondary schools. This book is a roadmap for educators on ways to develop an effective school-wide intervention system that will reach every student. To learn more, visit www.williamfibkins.com.

This volume, written from a very personal perspective, probes some of the more difficult questions facing educators about the implications of 'no child left behind,' specifically the kinds of interventions students have been historically receiving in school and those they should/could be receiving. Recommended.
