Publisher's Synopsis
"Building Assets, Reducing Risks (BARR) is a strength-based educational model originally created to help students manage the transition to high school. This school improvement model can be implemented successfully in grades 6-12. The two fundamental pillars in BARR are (1) creating positive, intentional relationships and (2) using real-time student data in collaborative problem-solving settings to guide instructional action. BARR has eight strategies that work together to guide educators in building safe, strong, trusting relationships that foster an environment where every student thrives."--.
