Pathways to School Success: Leaving No Child Behind

In this book, author Norris Haynes examines and discusses seven critical pathways that lead to school success. The pathways are: responsive schools; school-based support services; personalized learning communities; increased student interest, achievement, and motivation; positive school climate; fostered resilience; and promotion of school readiness. The work, which includes case studies and interviews with students, is a theoretical and practical guide to addressing the academic, social, and emotional needs of students. The strategies and concepts outlined in Pathways to School Success will help enhance a school's performance and thereby increase the probability that no child will be left behind.
