Talk:At-risk students

message: I've undone this merge.  The incorporation into Alternative school‎ never achieved full consensus, and the prime mover behind it, User:Esthertaffet, turned out to be a sock of a banned user.  Even apart from that, the merged article lacked cohesion; it read like two unrelated articles jammed together.  And I think that's because At-risk students describes a problem, and Alternative school‎ describes in part one of several possible solutions and in part several completely unrelated goals.  So while the At-risk students article definitely needs improvement, it's better for that improvement to be done stand-alone.  Wasted Time R (talk) 12:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge undone 

message: The claim "Drop-out rates are much higher for minorities, and the number of college-bound African American students has plummeted" is backed up by a source that is over two decades old.  I've marked it with a  tag.  I'm sure an up-to-date source will provide much needed information for the article. — Æµ§œš¹ [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 00:34, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Up-to-date source needed

message: I am going to work on editing the At-risk students page. I plan on updating the definitions and language used to describe students who are described as at-risk. Current research articles have much broader detailed information and remedies regarding these students.
I would also like to improve upon the citations for information already on the page or find other literature to cite in order to make the article more credible. I’d like to find and research some of the sources already cited to gain further insight into what previous authors found. Also, I want to make the article more current by updating outdated statistics to current data.
Giving the article a global context is important to be able to explain what education means to different students from around the world. I hope to outline the struggle students across the globe encounter when trying to get an education and what it takes to get those students access to that education.

thread_title:  Proposed Changes 

message: I have been working with this article and have made the following revisions: I have expanded the risk factors and remediation tactics. I edited out dubious information and reorganized existing information.  While the article deals primarily with the United States I have attempted to give a more global perspective by adding the other North American countries of Canada and Mexico.  More work needs to be done to represent at-risk students globally. Djansen15 (talk) 16:21, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Hey! These are the changes I plan to be making. 
Introduction for "Interventions" 
There are several different forms of interventions for at-risk youth.Ciocanel, Oana, et al. "Effectiveness of Positive Youth Development Interventions: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials." Journal of Youth & Adolescence, vol. 46, no. 3, Mar. 2017, p. 483.  Interventions are generally considered effective if they have positive impacts on individuals' risk behavior, academic achievement, pro-social behavior, sexual behavior, and psychological adjustment. Knight, Alice, et al. "The Quality and Effectiveness of Interventions That Target Multiple Risk Factors among Young People: A Systematic Review." Australian & New Zealand Journal of Public Health, vol. 41, no. 1, Feb. 2017, p. 54. EBSCOhost, search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=edb&AN=121013925&site=eds-live.Stevenson, Brian J. "Developing a Career Counseling Intervention Program for Foster Youth." Journal of Employment Counseling, vol. 54, no. 2, June 2017, pp. 75-86. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1002/joec.12055. Effective interventions can also serve as a preventative measure for future risk behavior.Vries, Sanne L. A., et al. "Practitioner Review: Effective Ingredients of Prevention Programs for Youth at Risk of Persistent Juvenile Delinquency - Recommendations for Clinical Practice." Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, vol. 56, no. 2, Feb. 2015, pp. 108-121. 
Addition to list of early interventions:

YMCA, or The Y, is an organization that promotes youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.  The YMCA. Web. Retrieved 05 Oct. 2016.  "Young Men's Christian Association." Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia, 2017, p. 1p.Over the years, the Y has provided various programming, some directed towards at-risk youth.O'Donnell, Julie and Sandra L. Kirkner. "Helping Low-Income Urban Youth Make the Transition to Early Adulthood: A Retrospective Study of the YMCA Youth Institute." Afterschool Matters, no. 23, 01 Jan. 2016, pp. 18-27. The Y has engaged with social issues such as racial solidarity, job training, and classes for people with disabilities.MJAGKIJ, NINA. "Light in the Darkness: African Americans and the YMCA, 1852-1946." 2015.  The YMCA History. Web.  
Under the Poverty section: Risk Factors Youth that come from low socio-economic status are more likely to be labeled “at-risk.”Knight, Alice, et al. "The Quality and Effectiveness of Interventions That Target Multiple Risk Factors among Young People: A Systematic Review." Australian & New Zealand Journal of Public Health, vol. 41, no. 1, Feb. 2017, p. 54. Impoverished environments can create several risk factors for youth, making them increasingly vulnerable to risk-behaviors and impacted life outcomes as they grow. Knight, Alice, et al. "The Quality and Effectiveness of Interventions That Target Multiple Risk Factors among Young People: A Systematic Review." Australian & New Zealand Journal of Public Health, vol. 41, no. 1, Feb. 2017, p. 54.   Growing up in poverty is associated with several risk factors, including those social-behavioral (for example substance abuse), environmental (violent neighborhoods), ecological, and familial (exposure to psychological imbalance).Ridings, Kelley R. The Place of At-Risk Factors among Students Graduating or Dropping Out of High School: A Study of Path Analyses. [Electronic Resource]. 2010.The global distribution of risk factors by poverty level. Blakely, T, et al. "The Global Distribution of Risk Factors by Poverty Level." Bulletin of the World Health Organization, vol. 83, no. 2, Feb. 2005, pp. 118-126. These risk factors are shown to have negative correlations with academic achievement, and positive correlations with problem behaviors.Obsuth, Ingrid, et al. "Substance Dependence Disorders and Patterns of Psychiatric Comorbidity among At-Risk Teens: Implications for Social Policy and Intervention." Court Review, vol. 46, no. 1/2, Jan. 2010, pp. 24-29. Youth living in households with income under 50% of the federal poverty level are those most vulnerable.

message: I'm going to be adding information to this page and updating some terminology. I plan to add at-promise youth as another way of referring to at-risk youth. Additionally, I will be adding academic advising as a type of remediation. Finally, I will be providing information on boosting academic resilience in students.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Global Poverty and Practice

message: Hello,
I plan to add information about preventative juvenile justice programs that help at-risk youth.
I will be using this article: de Vries, Sanne L. A., Machteld Hoeve, Jessica J. Asscher, and Geert Jan J. M. Stams. “The Long-Term Effects of the Youth Crime Prevention Program ‘New Perspectives’ on Delinquency and Recidivism.” International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology 62, no. 12 (2018): 3639–3661.
 In this article it talked about the context of juvenile justice and delinquency prevention, as well as a study on the long-term effects of the "New Perspectives" (NP) program targeting adolescents at risk for persistent delinquency. I picked this article because it is looking at other preventatives measures of recidivism from at-risk youth.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Areyes12 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
