Millions of school-age children in the U.S. are under-resourced and at risk of failure in school. Financial resources are important, but mental, emotional, relational, parental, and other key resources are vital to student success.

Under-Resourced Learners identifies resources all students need and delivers proven, practical strategies for building up these resources for every student in every school. Teachers and administrators will find a gold mine of best practices and interventions that will change their classrooms and change the minds and lives of their students.

You’ll discover new ways to:

• Assess student resources to determine the best strategies and interventions
• Build mental, language, relationship, and other resources into your teaching
• Work more effectively with parents and community representatives
• Increase support systems for all students and their families
• Monitor every student’s progress and adjust efforts to increase student success
