Editorial Review:
When the term "at-risk" (borrowed from medicine) is applied to students, it signals that preventive measures are necessary, that we must intervene to lessen students' chances of dropping out and to increase their chances for success. This guide will help you evaluate how well major programs for students at risk for academic failure are working in your school -- including programs for special instructional assistance, remedial education, and in-school suspension. It is designed to be used with school- and community-based programs serving at-risk students from pre-school grades through high school. The guide will also serve you well in evaluating other programs and program components, such as ones to improve tutorial programs, streamline discipline procedures, boost student motivation and attendance, build staff support, and increase parental involvement. The information obtained from evaluations can be used to make decisions that will dramatically improve both programs and schools. This book is part of a seven-volume series for evaluating programs and services in today's K-12 schools. The "master plan" for this series is found in Evaluating School Programs: An Educator's Guide by James R. Sanders. It describes the steps involved in conducting the evaluation, including ways to focus the evaluation, identify specific evaluation questions, and collect, organize, analyze, and report the information. All volumes in the series, including this one, are designed to be mutually complementary and used in conjunction with Evaluating School Programs.

"Teachers and other school personnel, those who know their school programs best, can use evaluative tools to make their schools better" (p.3). The authors go on to discuss the many different purposes that evaluation results can be used for.
