Coleman, J. Michael; Dover, G. Michael
Exceptional Children, v59 n5 p468-77 Mar-Apr 1993
Teacher ratings on the RISK scale for 2,306 kindergarten students were used to predict which children were ultimately placed in resource rooms or regular education. All five RISK factors were significantly related to future school performance. Most predictive items were child ability, current performance, and teacher investment. Overall RISK scale accuracy was 94. (Author/JDD)
