At-Risk Youth in Vermont: A Resource Directory.
Holbrook, Lois, Comp.
This resource directory presents profiles of 86 programs serving at-risk students at all grade levels in Vermont schools in order to share useful information about current programs and services. Educators and others can benefit from considering programs and practices already in place and adopting or adapting these to meet the need of their students. Schools already involved in a major improvement or restructuring effort can find among the programs included in this directory specific practices that may enhance their efforts. Programs include a wide range of approaches, from early identification through post-graduation follow-up. Most programs report improved personal and educational outcomes for some of Vermont's students. The following aspects of each program are provided: (1) title; (2) school district and sponsoring agency; (3) contact person; (4) phone number; (5) content of program; (6) grade levels; (7) program description; (8) indicators of success; and (9) unique aspects of the program. Information is provided on the National Diffusion Network, which helps those involved in education acquire resources needed to incorporate exemplary programs into their own programs. Programs for students with severe emotional disturbance are discussed briefly. All program profiles are self-reported. No attempt to identify which are most successful or under what circumstances has been conducted. A blank program profile form is appended. (JS)
