Motivation for At-Risk Students.
Alderman, M. Kay
Educational Leadership, v48 n1 p27-30 Sep 1990

"Helpless" students may be assisted by "links" to success such as proximal goals, appropriate learning strategies, successful experience, and attribution of success to personal efforts. Includes 29 references. (MLH)
