What kind of HELP do you need? You need to be specific when asking questions here.

If all you do is post your entire assignment, nothing will happen since no one here will do your work for you. But if you are specific about what you don't understand about the assignment or exactly what help you need, someone might be able to assist you.

I am having trouble with finding what Pennsylvania is doing to meet the needs of at risk youth dealing with neglect

In this search, you can find the law:

However, what is actually done, I could not find. Have you tried contacting a social worker in Penn?

To gather information about the characteristics of at-risk students, the first step is to consult resources such as the Online Library and Chapter 4 of the book "Introduction to Teaching." These sources can provide insights into the various categories of at-risk students.

After that, it is important to read page 134 of the text, which discusses how a school district addresses the needs of a certain group of at-risk students. This information can serve as a starting point for understanding and analyzing the issue.

Next, select a specific category of at-risk students from Chapter 4 of the textbook. In this case, the chosen category is bullying.

To find exemplary programs that address the needs of at-risk students who face bullying, it is recommended to conduct research using both the Internet and library databases. Look for programs that are implemented in your state, school district, or local community.

Once the research is completed, prepare to write a 700- to 1,100-word paper. The paper should include a description of the chosen category of at-risk students (in this case, bullying) and an analysis of the programs found.

When describing the programs, explain what components make them beneficial and exemplary. Consider factors such as the effectiveness of the programs, the strategies used to prevent or address bullying, and the level of involvement from students, parents, and educators. Look for evidence that these programs have a positive impact on reducing bullying incidents and creating a supportive environment.

To evaluate how well the programs ensure they reach all targeted students and meet their needs, consider factors like accessibility, inclusiveness, and the program's ability to provide necessary support. Look for information about how the programs identify and reach out to at-risk students, as well as the resources and interventions offered to help these students.

In your analysis, give an overall assessment of how well the programs address the needs of at-risk students who face bullying. Consider the effectiveness of the program in addressing bullying behavior while also promoting emotional well-being and creating a safe environment.

Finally, remember to cite all sources used during the research process and adhere to the formatting guidelines provided by your instructor or institution.
