What is At-Promise Youth

Chapter 7
Implementing Culturally Responsive Practices in Education
A strengths-based term used to describe students who are facing institutional barriers to success and are in danger of exiting school prematurely. This languaging replaces the traditional term at-risk youth as the previous wording perpetuates blame placed on students rather than an examination of the social and organizational structures that inhibit success.
