Welcome Personal Counselling Group Programs Career Planning ... Sitemap A student may or may not ask for help. It is important to be able to identify a student who may be feeling distressed. Faculty and staff are often in a position to identify students who are "at risk." Recognizing the signs of emotional distress and responding with interest and concern in a timely manner may be a critical factor in helping students resolve problems that are interfering with academic achievement. The following guidelines, which are also available in PDF below, outline when professional counselling might be beneficial to a student and how to make a referral to on-campus counselling resources . Confidentiality and information about emergency services and consultation are also described. We appreciate the concern faculty and staff have for the well-being of students and recognize the central role that faculty and staff play in linking students to campus resources.

At-Risk Students in a Hypertext Environment Home Introduction Disadvantages Constructivist Learning ... References Who Are The At-Risk Students? How to determine if a student is at-risk is not an easy task. Educators, policy makers and the general public debate over what makes a student at-risk and what role schools, families and students themselves play in this process. Presently, there are four approaches used by schools and policy makers to define at-risk students. These are the predictive, descriptive, unilateral, and school factors approaches Social and academic organization of the school, Circumstances of schools and families, The community where schools, families and students live, and In the past, educators have had lower expectations for at-risk students. The emphasis has been on the acquiston of basic skills, often using pull-out programs and remedial help (Means, 1997). Means and Knapp (1991) noted that by not challenging at-risk students, or by not encouraging them to use complex thinking skills, schools are underestimating students' capabilites, and postponing interesting and meaningful work these students could be doing. This deprives them of a meaningful context for learning, and does not allow them to use the skills they have been taught. Advantages of Using Hypertext with At-Risk Students There are a number of hypertext programs that serve the at-risk students. These programs provide an important social prop as students do not have to contend with the stigma of being "dumb", afraid to ask questions or ask for help (McCullough, 1992). Students learn to work at their own pace in a non-threatening and a non-embarrassing environment. In one English course called
