Dr. Sherrel Bergmann has been teaching, counseling, and researching at-risk students and their teachers for over thirty years. As a professor at National Louis University, she taught teachers who face these students in their classrooms everyday. Two of her earlier books, Discipline and Guidance: The Thin Line in the Middle School, published by National Association of Secondary School Principals; and Decision Making Skills for Middle School Students, published by the National Education Association, have relayed both research results and programmatic suggestions to teachers and administrators. She has consulted with hundreds of school districts, parent groups, and educational associations about students who dare us to teach them. Her work has been recognized with the Lounsbury Award from the National Middle School Association and the Gruhn/Long/Melton Award from the National Association of Secondary School Principals. She is currently writing, consulting, and teaching in northern Michigan.
