Abstract
School systems throughout America have continually failed at-risk students. Often these students have been stigmatized as failures and placed in alternative school settings. There they do sometimes achieve academic success, which increases their sense of self-efficacy and promotes good behavior while they are at the alternative school. This study explores how teachers in such settings demonstrate care toward atrisk students. Specifically, it is a comparative case study of teachers in an alternative and in a traditional middle school setting in Panhandle County, Florida.
