Adolescent Worlds : A Model for Success

This is an intimate look at the lives of young people as they negotiate the world of the family with the world of their peers and the demands of school.

This exceptional text provides a clear understanding of features in school and classroom environments that aid or impede students in making successful transitions among their worlds and the world of school -- both social and academic.

It is about all youth, and not only those typically identified as "at risk" or those representing one cultural, ethnic, gender, or socioeconomic group.
