This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intersectional Care for Black Boys in an Alternative School is an exploration of the possibilities that exist within educational spaces for Black male students when teachers care for these students while also acknowledging the intersectionality of Black male identity and the potential oppression and resilience that they experience as the result. Through examples from adolescent Black males and their teacher in an urban alternative school for those pushed out of traditional high school settings, ways that teachers can embody and enact intersectional care are revealed. This book explores the importance of the ethic of care in teacher student relationships for young Black men and the influence of identity constructions that produce positive and negative educational experiences of Black boys who are outside of traditional schooling. The voices of the young Black men are centered in this story as they describe experiences of marginalization in traditional high schools prior to attending their alternative school, which for them was a caring space. Cultivating positive environments and student teacher relationships with intersectional care represent important strategies to engage young Black men in education.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study was designed to capture the perspectives of former alternative school students and former administrators regarding the effectiveness of the various components of their respective programs. Thirteen former students and six administrators completed surveys and follow-up interviews to rate the effectiveness of components recommended to be included in schools for disruptive youth by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Data were analyzed to identify the components students and administrators perceived to be effective and to compare the points of view of the two participant groups. The component that received the highest ratings from both the student and administrator participants was: providing a small and supportive school environment. There was a discrepancy of student opinion regarding the effectiveness of curriculum and instruction. Interviews with administrators led to findings regarding obstacles that the administrators identified as preventing the development of more effective programs. These included: (1) Rigid graduation requirements of sending school districts that prevent the development of curricula that would be more relevant to the students, (2) Limited budgets that prevent the purchase of needed resources, especially curriculum and technology, (3) Convoluted bureaucracies that hinder effectiveness of the curriculum and instruction in the alternative schools and (4) Inconsistency in the philosophy and the reality of the program mission as they relate to transitioning students from alternative education programs back to public schools.

Book excerpt: Some students find it difficult to reach graduation in a regular secondary school setting, but may be successful in an alternative setting. Causes of not graduating could include high absenteeism and behavior problems, which may result in dropping out. This study sought student perceptions of an alternative program in a public school district in the state of Mississippi. The participants were 10 students and their parents, 10 teachers, and the administrator. Data included interviews and school documents, and were analyzed using the constant comparative method. This research found that some of the students were enthused upon receiving alternative placement. Students liked the curriculum tailored to their individual needs, more one-on-one time with the teacher, and the opportunity to focus on the changes that they needed to make to improve their educational opportunities. Some parents expressed their disappointment in their child's placement; however, there were some parents who prefer the alternative school over regular school. The parents who were disappointed thought it to be a place where they put bad kids and where the teachers were not good teachers. The parents who preferred it liked the smaller teacher-student ratio and believed that alternative teachers were more supportive and kind. The teachers expressed the alternative school does not get the same attention as other district schools and is seen as a dumping ground for both teachers and students. Recommendations to the district include: evaluate the criteria for placing students in the alternative school, increase communication between the alternative and the regular school, provide a specialist to help focus on student learning styles, provide a full-time counselor to help students deal with the issues contributing to their lack of success in the regular school, and improve the physical setting for the alternative school. Further research is needed in the district: to determine what could be improved in the alternative academic program; to determine whether the alternative school curriculum is meeting state standards; and to examine the acceptance of students and faculty in the alternative program by district students and personnel.

Book Synopsis Re-imagining Schooling for Education by : Glenda McGregor
Download or read book Re-imagining Schooling for Education written by Glenda McGregor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provokes a conversation about what supportive schooling contexts for both students and teachers might look like, and considers how schooling can contribute to a more socially-just society. It takes as its starting point the position of the most marginalised students, many of whom have either been rejected by or have rejected mainstream schooling, and argues that the experiences of these students suggest that it is time for schools to be reimagined for all young people. Utilizing both theory and data, the volume critiques many of the issues in conventional schools that work against education, and presents evidence ‘from the field’ in the form of data from unconventional schooling sites, which demonstrates some of the structural, relational, curricular and pedagogical changes that appear to be enabling schooling for education for their students. It will be essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of education, sociology and social work, and will also be of great interest to practising teachers.

The research involved two data-gathering techniques: onsite interviews and observations. The objective was to determine (a) how students and staff in the alternative learning programs experienced schooling and what meanings they attached to these experiences, (b) what disruptive students perceived as the major impact of the alternative learning program on their self-esteem and social behavior, and (c) what staff members perceived as the major impact of the alternative learning programs on students' self-esteem and social behavior. Findings from the study were used to answer three research questions relative to the alternative education programs for disruptive students and to make recommendations for program improvements.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined components of alternative education programs and changes in student life satisfaction as perceived by 2 administrators and 17 students at two program sites. Each student participant completed a 40-item Likert-scale survey at the onset and at the end of the 10-week study. The survey measured life satisfaction in domains of family, friends, school, living environment and self. Students also participated in a focus group midway through the program. Teachers provided student progress reports at the beginning and end of the study. Administrators completed alternative education program evaluation forms. Results suggested that key components of alternative education are flexibility of: a) curriculum, b) pace, c) schedule, and d) staff as well as small, safe, supportive environments. Life satisfaction changes were identified in all five domains. Identified program needs were: a) improved staff-student relationships, b) increased guidance, c) increased curriculum variability, and d) review of the servicing component.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative case study examined the perceptions of staff and students of the alternative education programs within a suburban school district in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Participants in this study included seventeen staff members and nineteen students who were associated with the alternative program in the school district. A Likert scale staff and student survey developed by Research for Better Schools (RBS) were administered in addition to a researcher-created one-on ?one interview. The surveys and interview questions were developed to examine: (1) what participants believed the culture to be within the alternative school, (2) how teacher behaviors were perceived, (3) the opinion of the monitoring and assessment procedures and policies, and (4) the views on the overall student discipline and behaviors within the alternative education facility. Findings of the study revealed that the majority of the participants supported the alternative education system within the district. Research findings from the survey responses revealed that staff and student perceptions had a high level of agreement considering the relatively recent implementation of the program within the district. These findings can guide future research as school districts strive to support the needs of at-risk students in need of alternative methods of education.
