Teaching Troubled Youth: A Practical Pedagogical Approach: With Artwork and Writings by Youth Served by Delaware's Department of Services for C

An anthology of writing and art by students served by the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth, and their families. Starting with the idea that adjudicated youth, 12 to 18, never receive the traditional yearbook to celebrate their accomplishments, it quickly became evident as the students submitted their poems, stories and artwork that this would be more than a yearbook. The editor and her team set a new goal: to develop a practical pedagogical approach, designing lesson plans using the students' own work, with the hope that the resulting canon would give students a sense of achievement and be viewed by others as a work of beauty and service.
