Creating Conditions for Growth examines the critical role that teachers play in supporting all students, but particularly our at-risk student populations, to stay in school and successfully complete their graduation requirements. Renee E. Thompson addresses how schools will be able to support marginalized students in achieving success by implementing teacher self-efficacy and a positive classroom environment. This study identifies ways in which administrators at all levels can support teachers' professional development and student success through reinforced accountability and consistency. This study also addresses how to grow and strengthen students to stay in the traditional school setting, in addition to ensuring that the process will prepare students to be academically, socially, and emotionally ready for college, career, or the military. Fostering this environment requires collaboration and teamwork from teachers, administrators, and parents. Students will demonstrate academic achievement when the school environment is positive, equitable, and safe and provides appropriate challenge and inspiration.
