Breakaway Learners: Strategies for Post-Secondary Success with at-Risk Students
Karen Gross
Explores how institutions of higher education can successfully serve ""breakaway"" students - first-generation, low-income students who are trying to break away from the past in order to create a more secure future. In this provocative book, Gross offers a new approach to addressing inequities by focusing on students who have succeeded despite struggling with the impacts of poverty and trauma.
