This Way to Hope: The Challenges, Hard Truths, and Triumphs of Working with Critically At-Risk Students*

Everyone wants to work with students when they’re young, still believe in fairy tales and that their dreams will come true. But what about the students who don’t check any of those boxes—juvenile offenders, endurers of trauma, neglect, or students being raised to believe reliance on government assistance is acceptable and the norm, even when they have the capacity to succeed without it? Who works with them? Through inspirational success stories, unfiltered honesty, and startling statistics, This Way to Hope— Explores the little-known world of critically at-risk students and acknowledges the difficulties faced by educators, social workers, and others who try to help them Explains the harm and unintentional problems created by cyclical, intergenerational dependency on government assistance Illustrates how effective education techniques, genuine empathy, and zero tolerance for excuses can help students attain hope and become productive members of society Demonstrates a replicable school model, proven to help critically at risk students achieve their full potential, and break free from dependency on government assistance
