    > Hello fellow Educators!

    > My name is Asuka Hisa and I'm the Museum Educator of the Santa Monica
    Museum
    > of Art in Santa Monica, CA.
    >
    > I am putting together an outreach program for middle and high school aged
    > youths that are considered "at risk" with the ambition of exposing them to
    > contemporary art. I am highly optimistic about this enterprise but I have
    > been warned of safety and other socio-psychological issues that could
    prevent
    > me from having a productive learning environment. I am organizing a
    two-week
    > long program that consists of daily 2 hour workshops & discussions. The
    > youths range in age (12 17) and there are about 30 of them.

    in my experience 30 at risk students are too many for one teacher. i
    recommend no more than 15 depending on their level of maturity, age, and the
    problems they might have.
