Book excerpt: Leadership Experience for Academic Directions (LEAD) is a program that was developed as a service learning program for teacher candidates in preparation for the teaching career. As youth populations continue to diversify and as the issues impacting youth continue to surface, it is the responsibility of educators, administrators, and the governments to provide all the opportunities for youth to succeed academically, socially, and personally. Teachers especially are instrumental in making this happen; therefore, it is imperative that teachers come into the profession with the cognitive and non-cognitive skills to motivate youth to succeed. The Handbook of Research on Leadership Experience for Academic Direction (LEAD) Programs for Student Success s a critical scholarly book that explores the many facets of the teaching profession as they relate to working with at-risk youth and helping them reach their full potential. This book provides the groundwork for programs that will succeed at the K-12 education level and at the teacher education level. Featuring a range of topics such as human capital, mental health, and social learning theory, this book is essential for academicians, teaching professionals, administrators, professional development educators, policymakers, researchers, and students.

Book Synopsis At-risk Youth and Service-learning by : Julie J. Padilla
Download or read book At-risk Youth and Service-learning written by Julie J. Padilla and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) study was to discover how at-risk youth who participate in the programming initiative of service-learning experience and understand its impact on their academic success and personal growth. The theory of Experiential Learning Theory by David Kolb was used to frame this research. A literature review explored middle school aged at-risk youth and the risk factors that define them, engagement of middle school aged at risk youth, including how students lack engagement and programming initiatives to further engagement, and the way in which programming initiatives can foster academic success and personal growth amongst at middle-school aged at-risk youth. The research question for this study was, how do at-risk youth who take part in the programming initiative of service-learning at St. Ignatius School understand its impact on their academic success and personal growth? Through individual interviews with students several themes emerged to describe the student experience. The research indicates that service-learning at the middle school level worked to increase students' personal growth, academic success, and insights on service-learning. The findings from this research could inform curricular decisions made at the local, state, and national level, as well as school configuration"--Author's abstract.

Book Synopsis Soul of a Citizen by : Paul Rogat Loeb
Download or read book Soul of a Citizen written by Paul Rogat Loeb and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2010-03-30 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul of a Citizen awakens within us the desire and the ability to make our voices heard and our actions count. We can lead lives worthy of our convictions. A book of inspiration and integrity, Soul of a Citizen is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life--powerlessness and cynicism. In his evocative style, Paul Loeb tells moving stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement. Through their example and Loeb's own wise and powerful lessons, we are compelled to move from passivity to participation. The reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life. Soul of a Citizen has become the handbook for budding social activists, veteran organizers, and anybody who wants to make a change—big or small—in the world around them. At this critical historical time , Paul Loeb's completely revised edition—and inspiring message—is more urgently important than ever.
Book Synopsis On Your Own without a Net by : D. Wayne Osgood
Download or read book On Your Own without a Net written by D. Wayne Osgood and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade after high school, young people continue to rely on their families in many ways-sometimes for financial support, sometimes for help with childcare, and sometimes for continued shelter. But what about those young people who confront special difficulties during this period, many of whom can count on little help from their families? On Your Own Without a Net documents the special challenges facing seven vulnerable populations during the transition to adulthood: former foster care youth, youth formerly involved in the juvenile justice system, youth in the criminal justice system, runaway and homeless youth, former special education students, young people in the mental health system, and youth with physical disabilities. During adolescence, government programs have been a major part of their lives, yet eligibility for most programs typically ends between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. This critical volume shows the unfortunate repercussions of this termination of support and points out the issues that must be addressed to improve these young people's chances of becoming successful adults.

Book Synopsis Service-learning by : Alan S. Waterman
Download or read book Service-learning written by Alan S. Waterman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linking research and educational practice for the benefit of both is not a new idea. If practice such as service-learning is a bold departure from the status quo, however, research is not just beneficial, it is critical. If schools are to become laboratories of democracy and entrepreneurship, and if students are to become engaged as partners in renewal of their communities, a research case must be made for service-learning. Does learning take place? Will other kinds of learning suffer? What kinds of practice are most effective? Clearly, solid research is essential if this transforming way of teaching and learning is to be fully integrated into American schooling and youth development institutions. The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) took a first step toward joining service-learning practice with research in 1983. In 1991, NYLC created a center which initiated and encouraged program evaluation, formative research that informs and improves practice, and summative studies that measure results. This volume grew out of a National Service-Learning Conference--an annual event convened by the NYLC. A day long research seminar at the conference brought together researchers to discuss the latest developments among themselves and with practitioners. Impressive in their range and rigor, their papers offer documentation and analysis useful to an emerging research knowledge base. It is a starting point for the evidence needed to firmly establish service-learning for K-12 age people as a widely accepted way of teaching and learning.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: At-risk students living in poverty in the United States benefit both educationally and emotionally from meaningful teaching that is purposefully applied directly to their lives. Service learning is a method in which students assess the needs in their community and in turn construct a method and way to successfully meet those specific needs. This paper connects the current educational needs of at-risk youth to the benefits of service learning. Forty-nine at-risk fourth and fifth grade students constructed and participated in service-learning activities designed to meet the needs present in their community. Through service learning, the participating students were able to give back to their community and increase their self-esteem.
