Project Outreach for Optimum Growth of Alienated Youth Who Reject School. Continuation Application, Dropout Prevention Program, 1972-73.
Sheridan School District 2, Englewood, CO.
Project Outreach, funded under Title VIII of Public Law 90 - 247, is designed to introduce basic and widespread changes in Sheridan School District organization, curriculum offerings, pupil services, and teacher training. By concentrating on meeting the total needs of all students, most specifically alienated youth who are potential dropouts and youth who have already rejected school, this project will demonstrate, develop, and disseminate a new system that will provide relevant and meaningful educational experiences. The second program year will place special focus on: a vigorous staff training component; revised and reorganized high school and middle school components; and, improved pupil personnel services. Six program components have been developed: The Outreach Center component is providing services to hard core dropouts, who have dropped out or have for all practical purposes ceased to operate in any way within the present system. The Middle School, High School, and Pupil Personnel Services components are modifying present practices, and developing improved self concepts. The Staff Training component will provide in-depth training to the project staff and key personnel within the system. The Project Management component will plan and control all aspects of the total program in relationship to variables of time, cost, and performance. (Author/JM)
