The workshop was designed to address the educational and safety requirements of children in the mainstream as well as those on the edges. Six issues drew special attention: the variability of references to school crime, the potential damage and questionable benefit from some school "protection" measures, the difficulties involved with reconciling universal education with education for the well-behaved, equalizing educational opportunities, promoting intrinsic motivation to learn, and recognizing potential harm from some school-based interventions.

In identifying the issue of intrinsic motivation, the workshop considered a possible way to overcome issues of fairness while also attending to an important goal for educators: maintaining a desire to learn. In recognizing that some intervention programs have harmful effects, the workshop attendees noted the importance of examining preconceptions that have led to acceptance of intervention strategies without appropriate testing.
