Every school in the nation has students and families that live with factors of risk (many significant) that distract them from the importance of the education process. Teachers are aware that this is the case, but in many situations there are few resources avaliable to help teachers, administrators, councelors and other professionals know effective tools that can be used to help children and families from high risk situations. Veteran teacher Travis A. Frederickson and 21st CCLC program evaluator Jack Hatch will walk with you through the life of a child/family at risk and then reveal some of the most powerful tools that can be used to help a child/family transition from Risk to Resilient!
