The Identification of the Student At-Risk for Failure.

Stevens, Renee; Pihl, R. O.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v38 n3 p540-45 Jul 1982

Investigated teachers' ability to identify students at-risk for failure. Found correlations between teachers' ratings and standard measures of intelligence and ability of 337 sixth graders were highly significant and predictive of high school grades. At-risk students were significantly less academically able, more anxious and had lower self-concepts. (Author/JAC)
