Using Bibliotherapy with Suspended Students
Schreur, Greg
Reclaiming Children and Youth: The Journal of Strength-based Interventions, v15 n2 p106-111 Sum 2006
Schools lack effective strategies for incorporating at-risk students as productive members of the broader educational community. Student misbehavior regularly results in removal from the educational setting, typically through the use of in- or out-of-school suspensions, even though research does not demonstrate that any kind of suspension serves as deterrence from future misbehavior. These and many other programs fail to address the fundamental causes of these students' misbehavior. This article presents a reading group that is based upon the principles of bibliotherapy, seeking to casually engage students in the process of critical thinking and prepare them to successfully reenter the mainstream classroom.
