Reaching the wounded student

2009
Hendershott, currently director of field experiences for the Schar College of Education at Ashland University, has been an administrator at an alternative high school and a juvenile facility. Here, he shows teachers and principals how to identify, understand, teach, discipline, and motivate wounded students--that is, children and adolescents who have been abused or neglected, are depressed, live in poverty, or do not have parents or other adults who play a significant role in their lives. He explains how to use service as a way to motivate students, and describes ways to work within or around school policies when providing flexibility for wounded students. There is no subject index.
