Guest speaker Anthony Dallmann-Jones' past background as an educator
includes being a professor teaching in Marysville Reformatory for Women,
and London Correctional Prison for Men in Ohio. He currently is
professor of at-risk education for Marian College in Fond du Lac, WI.
Anthony also directs the National At-Risk Education Network. Please
visit the NAREN the website at www.AtRiskEducation.Net
NAREN exists to support educational
stakeholders in better serving at-risk students. The definition of
at-risk is broadened to not only mean at-risk of dropping out of school,
but also at-risk of not succeeding in life. Obviously many people who
have gotten a diploma have not been well prepared to deal with life, and
if education continues to bury its head in the sand with the belief that
children are well-served just to have academic content thrust at them
then our welfare and prison counts will continue to swell in number.
Anthony has just finished publishing "SHADOW CHILDREN ~ Understanding
the Nation's #1 Problem" in which we can see both the personal and
financial crises being created by our at-risk population, plus some
straight out info on how to establish a quality at-risk educational
program. Join Anthony to discuss this book and NAREN in the ASO.
