John Huskins, First published 2001. £25 + £4 p&p.
This handbook is a useful resource for those working with
disaffected young people. It was designed to support work
in schools by learning mentors, teachers and others working
to address inclusion and underachievement. The focus is on
how to motivate students to want to learn, and encourage the
development of the social and study skills which they need
in order to fit into, and benefit from, classroom learning.
The author applies youth work principles to similar work
in schools at Key Stages 3 and 4. The book provides a useful
analysis of students' needs, identification of the degree
of student risk, and principles of learning, as well as useful
chapters on the range of approaches to improve students' development,
including the ASDAN awards and programmes. In shedding light
on the wider strategies for dealing with low self-esteem and
disaffection among young people, its easily accessible style
will appeal to a wide audience.
