Reducing Risk of FailureResearch indicates that students at risk of failure, and students with serious emotional disturbance benefit from strong attachment to schooling, and to adult mentors in school environments. But many of these students have high rates of mobility, suspension, and chronic attendance problems, suggesting limited opportunities for consistent involvement in school. UW-Madison education professor Kimber Malmgren finds that school mobility should be considered a significant risk factor and may be associated with the development of academic and behavior problems in childhood and adolescence. More about Malmgren's work is available here. |
