About Diane Wishart Books
Diane Wishart is the author of The rose that grew from concrete: Teaching and learning with disenfranchised youth, published by the University of Alberta Press. For this work Diane interviewed many at-risk students in an urban high school, young people who have fallen between the cracks in the public school system. What she discovered weren't statistics, but teens and their experiences, needs, and personalities. Diane's work with young people also informed the narrative published in Case studies in educational foundations: Canadian perspectives, published by Oxford University Press.
