City Univ. of New York, NY. City Coll.; New York State Education Dept., Albany.
The second annual Staying-in-School-Partnership Program (SSPP) conference, "Successful Schooling for the At-Risk Student: Ideas for Practitioners," brought representatives from the ten SSPP programs together with representatives from New York State and New York City Attendance Improvement/Dropout Prevention (AIDP) programs, the New York City Dropout Prevention Program (DPP), and the Alternative High School Programs of the New York City Board of Education. SSPP's are university-based collaborative programs designed to work with schools to meet the needs of at-risk students. Goals were to report on successful practices, and to identify and recommend changes in schools that would improve education for at-risk students. Areas for school improvement included the following: (1) school organization and social services; (2) social climate and affective needs; (3) curriculum and instruction; (4) staff development; (5) parent involvement; and (6) partnerships with business and community-based organizations. Contents of this report are the following: (1) a list of 18 recommendations for how schools need to be changed to improve education for at-risk students developed by the participants; (2) the full text of the keynote address: "Successful Schooling for the At-Risk Student" (S. Phillips); (3) the conference program; (4) a list of the conference participants; and (5) acknowledgments of conference staff. (FMW)
