Creating School and Community Partnerships for Substance Abuse Prevention Programs
Addressing barriers to learning
To enhance services in the schools, there are calls for coordination, integration, comprehensiveness, and other systemic reforms. These topics are explored from the perspective of the role of school and community in addressing barriers to learning. Current approaches are critiqued, and new directions for policy and practice are outlined
School-linked mental health interventions
Despite increasing activity aimed at integrating health and social services and linking them to schools, little attention has been paid to the mechanisms that must be created to accomplish this policy direction. The purpose of this paper is to highlight briefly (1) concern about inadequate interfacing among programs and (2) specific tasks and mechanisms for coordination (and eventual integration) of school-linked programs. It is suggested that co…
School-based mutual support groups for low-income parents
Transition Support for Immigrant Students
This article briefly highlights the problems of student immigrants and the potential value of transition support groups as a mechanism for addressing these problems
Two studies of low income parents' involvement in schooling
Early school adjustment problems
A kindergarten and elementary school intervention program for dealing with early school adjustment problems is described. It is designed to accommodate greater individual differences in classrooms, improve and augment regular support, and provide specialized staff development and interventions. Initial findings are presented, and the evolution of the program so as to address problems of school newcomers is discussed
Minors' dissatisfaction with their life circumstances
An Instrument to Assess Students' Perceived Control at School
A scale developed to aid in investigation of students' perceived control at school is described, and data on its reliability, validity, and factor structure are reported. Also, discussed is a parallel instrument designed to measure the degree to which a student values such control. Findings reported indicate the usefulness of the perceived control scale by summarizing data from several studies, and the discussion highlights promising directions f…
Prevalence and treatment of learning problems in upper and lower income areas
In a telephone survey, a lower incidence of learning problems, help received, and perceived effectiveness was reported in lower income areas. More upper income respondents reported receiving formal diagnoses and treatment. Possible discrepancies between official and resident reports of learning problems, the apparent need for additional services by both income groups, and the likelihood that residents are overestimating effectiveness and prognosi…
Diagnostic classification of learning problems
Despite the large body of literature on diagnoses related to learning problems, little systematic information has been gathered on the specific labels assigned by professionals and the bases for their determination. In this study of children enrolled in a clinical school program, only one diagnosis out of fifteen resulted from a consistent pattern of test findings, while over half the diagnoses were based primarily on observation, and a third wer…
