From the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (NCREL) Website:
The 1981 publication of A Nation at Risk created a new sense of urgency and refocused the nation's attention on the continuing pattern of inadequate performance by a significant proportion of our children--children we have come to define as being 'at risk.'
Students are placed 'at risk' when they experience a significant mismatch between their circumstances and needs, and the capacity or willingness of the school to accept, accommodate, and respond to them in a manner that supports and enables their maximum social, emotional, and intellectual growth and development
Good Luck....
