This revised guide is designed to help school administrators, teachers, and counselors operate and improve their continuation programs and develop a school program based on the Model Curriculum Standards, Grades 9 through 12 and Raising Expectations: Model Graduation Requirements. It references up-to-date legal and technical information and documents pertinent to continuation education for administrators and continuation program staff. (Continuation education is for students aged 16-18 who have not completed high school, are not exempt from compulsory attendance, and are at risk of not completing school.) Introductory sections present the purpose of continuation education and information on establishing and implementing a continuation education high school. The main body is divided into five sections that parallel the format used in Quality Indicators for Alternative Education Programs in California Public Schools. The most frequently asked questions regarding the implementation of continuation education programs appear in the question-and-answer pages following each major section. Section 1 discusses the school management component. Section 2 on curriculum addresses course of study, occupational orientation, and supplemental or alternative programs. Section 3 focuses on instructional strategies: teaching, assessment, and credits. Section 4 discusses school climate: parent involvement, cocurricular activities, and safety. Section 5 describes guidance and counseling. Appendixes include a list of the model continuation high schools with addresses and telephone numbers and criteria for the establishment of a new continuation high school. (YLB)
