Summary
Research clearly shows mentoring to be a powerful alternative education (dropout prevention) strategy for students at risk, and this book meets a demand from teachers and case workers in the juvenile justice system for a comprehensive guide to establish mentoring programs. The book is teacher-friendly, easy to read, positive, and full of suggestions. The mentor application, interest inventories, and evaluation forms provided also make it an excellent resource book. Strategies on writing mission statements, goals, and objectives will help the reader build confidence in developing successful proposals to fund mentoring programs. The recruitment strategies, screening strategies, process and outcome evaluation questions, and the 20-step Replicable Model will benefit readers concerned with enhancing the effectiveness of existing mentoring programs. This book was designed to meet the needs of K-12 teachers, K-12 school administrators, case managers in the juvenile justice system, as well as members of nonprofit organizations who work with students at risk.

Summary
"Educating Everybody's Children encapsulates what research has revealed about successfully addressing the needs of students from economically, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse groups and identifies a wide range of effective principles and instructional strategies. Although good teaching works well with all students, educators must develop an extensive repertoire of instructional tools to meet the varying needs of students from diverse backgrounds. Those tools and the knowledge base behind them are the foundation of this revised and expanded second edition of Educating Everybody's Children. Each strategy discussed in the book includes classroom examples and a list of the research studies that support it. The most important thing we have learned as a result of the education reform movement is that student achievement stands or falls on the motivation and skills of teachers. We must ensure that all teachers are capable of delivering a standards-based curriculum that describes what students should know and be able to do, and that these standards are delivered by means of a rich and engaging "pedagogy of plenty". By these two acts we can ensure that all schools will be ready and able to educate everybody's children."--Book cover.
