This volume outlines the issues involved in underachievement and – drawing on the authors’ vast practical and theoretical experience – offers the reader effective methods and approaches for dealing with this problem. The primary target of this book is the person in the classroom; the primary goal is to stimulate sensitivity and responsiveness to and from the student and to encourage the development of the conventional classroom as an open forum for learning.
The book is aimed toward teachers, classroom aides, students of education, administrators, school psychologists, counsellors, and persons who work with ethnic or minority group students or the educationally disadvantaged. Since underachievement is not limited to the academic world, the book will also be useful to practicing psychologists, psychiatrists, child and family counsellors, social workers, paraprofessionals and parents.
