WRITINGS
SIDELIGHTS
William H. Warring is a longtime businessman who has worked in both business and educational settings promoting productivity. He is the author of three books: Leaving No Child Behind: A Teacher’s Model for Meeting the Challenges of the No Child Left Behind Act, From Risk to Resiliency: A Resource for Strengthening Continuation Schools, and Beyond Dropping Out: Overcoming the Pitfalls of School Culture.
In From Risk to Resiliency, Warring addresses the serious issues facing alternative schools, using data, examples, and stories. He also points out ways in which traditional high schools are missing the mark. He calls on educators to work on the students’ resiliency and ability to self-learn and to provide them with hope. He makes a point of addressing the students who come from adverse conditions and discussing the need to deal with them with compassion. Warring reports that in some of the larger school districts in California, less than fifty percent of students graduate from high school. He feels that school faculty should make a point of connecting with their students and encourage them to participate in extracurricular activities.
D.L. Stoloff, writing in Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, recommended From Risk to Resiliency but felt that it “would have benefited from recent references and additional discussion of the growing roles of educational technology and personalized learning in both continuation and comprehensive high schools.”
In Beyond Dropping Out, Warring continues his message about our nation’s young and how the schools are failing them. He documents that millions of teenagers in both traditional and alternative high schools are struggling under the fractured school systems. He equips educators with some of the tools necessary—both the theory and the practical applications—to successfully lead these struggling students out of the hole the system has put them in and provide them with academic success.

Warring's observations on continuation schools--alternative high school pathways for students not thriving in comprehensive high school settings--are based on his experiences as a continuation school teacher and educational consultant in California. The reform of these schools is desperately needed; in some large urban school districts in California, less than 50 percent of the students graduate from high school. Descriptions of the historical development of these schools and the challenges current students face lead to a discussion of their functions as safety nets, safety valves, or dumping grounds. Warring calls on using a resiliency-based paradigm to develop learners' self-cognitive practices, self-efficacy, resiliency, and hope. He also discusses strategies for reducing faculty and community members' resistance to change. School faculty should increase the quality of their interpersonal relationships with students, improve self-perceptions of all community members, promote school-wide adaptive mental practice, and increase opportunities for students to participate in school-sponsored and out-of-school extracurricular activities. This text would have benefited from recent references and additional discussion of the growing roles of educational technology and personalized learning in both continuation and comprehensive high schools. Summing Up: ** Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.--D. L. Stoloff, Eastern Connecticut State University
