    First Published in 2005. This is volume 10, number 2 in the Journal of Education for Students Places at Risk (JESPAR). This special issue, tenth-anniversary retrospective, is structured with two arguments: schools can have a strong, positive impact on the education of at-risk children, and effective programs exist or can be developed that can improve the educational experiences of at-risk students. Two book reviews by Shelley H. Billig and Robert J. Stevens round out the issue.
