Preventing School Failure: A Look at the Past, Present,

and Future ith this issue, we celebrate a significant milestone W for Preventing School Failure: the journal’s 45th

anniversary. Originally founded in 1956 as The Pointer and renamed in 1989, Preventing School Failure has attempted to occupy a special place in the professional literature on learning and behavioral problems of chil- dren and youth. We recognize that there are numerous professional journals that address a similar population. Viewed together, such journals have contributed enor- mously to our knowledge of important issues, ranging from program development and professional/parental collaboration to identification, assessment, and treatment of individual problems. Accordingly, Heldref Publica- tions and the Executive Editors of Preventing School Failure have long attempted to give readers practical knowledge and skills to deal with the myriad challenges that confront you on a daily basis.

Over the years, our authors have dealt with a broad range of topics that address the needs of teacher educa- tors, practitioners, and parents responsible for working with students with learning and behavioral problems. We have dedicated entire issues of Preventing School Failure to topics such as managing conflict in the classroom; mainstreaming students with learning and behavioral problems; reintegrating students with learning and behavioral problems; working strategies for ecological assessment; assessing students for instruction; teaching students to socialize positively; and understanding legal

issues in special and general education, to mention just a few. More recently, we have devoted considerable space to articles on options for peer-mediated intervention; alternative programs for incarcerated juveniles; function- al behavioral assessment and positive behavioral sup- ports; and collaboration and consultation, as well as vio- lence and student aggression, in the schools. What may seem like an impressive list of topics of critical interest to the field represents only a sample of the rich and var- ied nature of our publication.

While the challenges have grown tremendously over the years, so too has the empirical basis for successful- ly resolving these challenges. In dedicating a quarter century to addressing the needs of children and youth, our pledge remains the same: to offer teacher educators, practitioners, and parents timely and important informa- tion on programs and practices with which to better serve youth in general and youth with learning and behavioral problems.
