Back on Track This program is designed for over-age students going into the seventh grade who want to get back "on track" with their peers. The staff selects students to take language arts, social studies, math, and science in their last year at the middle school. During the year, the young people are also transported to the high school to attend two electives. The program provides an accelerated-skills curriculum after which successful students are promoted to the ninth grade, by passing 1 year at the middle school.

Extending Learning Time for Disadvantaged Students - Volume 2 Profiles of Promising Practices - 1995 A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n The Summer Institute for At-Risk Migrant Students Florida Department of Education. Tallahassee, Florida Key Characteristics Residential program Highly individualized Overview The Summer Institute for At-Risk Migrant Students, a residential program sponsored by the Florida Department of Education, provides six weeks of intensive coursework and tutoring for 330 to 350 students. The institute, which evolved from a 1985 pilot project, is held at three Florida universities and targets middle and high school students as well as dropouts. Its goal is to help migrant students compensate for absences and partial credits, stay in school, and obtain a high school diploma. Participants work with guidance counselors to develop individualized goals for the summer, typically focusing on completing a specific credit toward promotion or graduation, or on remediation in reading, math, and other subjects. School Context This statewide program draws students from schools with high concentrations of migrant students. In 1992-93, the 330 participating students came from more than 80 schools and 30 different school districts. The number of participants varies each year, based on available funding. Most (83 percent) of the students are Hispanic; 11 percent are African American, 4 percent are Asian American (primarily Vietnamese), and 2 percent are Anglo. Participants are in grades 6-12, or are dropouts.

Mentoring At-Risk Students (MARS) and At-Risk Tutoring Programs Mentor 2000 The Mentoring At-Risk Students (MARS) and At-Risk Tutoring Programs ares designed to provide in-kind services to low income youth ages 7-17. As a year round afterschool and weekend program, participants are given the opportunity to explore and experience, learning and practicing new skills in well structured workshops. Mentoring services are provided on either a one-to-one or team mentoring basis, for the purpose of facilitating the at-risk students' social, personal and educational growth in order for them to become productive, contributing members of their respective communities and to society as a whole. Tutoring is provided for each student in their particular area of curriculum need (i.e., critical thinking, problem solving, research skills, technology, team building, communication, and "other" skills generic to school and the work place, etc.). The MARS Program also provides projects, such as social and recreational activities. Program objectives are consistent with respect to improving school attendance by 25%, academic performance and grades by 59%, reducing disciplinary referrals by 66% (e.g., detentions, suspensions - on and off campus, as well as expulsions), and reducing the overall dropout rate by 50%.

58. At-Risk Students Must Believe Atrisk students Must Believe They Can Change Their Future. If youcan give young people a reason to believe that they can change http://www.academicinnovations.com/believe.html

At-Risk Students Must Believe They Can Change Their Future "If you can give young people a reason to believe that they can change their future, then it is much easier to deal with violence and substance abuse and teenage pregnancy," Dr. David Satcher, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the New York Times recently. "We've found that those were not the problems; they were the symptoms. When young people don't have any hope for the future, they'll do anything." For at-risk students, the key to success in high school lies in convincing them that a satisfying future is within their grasp, and then showing them how their education relates to their future goals. As Jere Brophy, writing in Educational Leadership , says, "People do not invest effort in tasks that do not lead to valued outcomes even if they know they can perform the task successfully." For the mainstream students in any school, that valued outcome is obvious: to get into college. Those who do not expect to attend college, however, are often confused as to why they should care about getting a good grade in English, or even finishing high school at all. Making High Schools Work , a book published by the Southern Regional Educational Board, concurs: "Students who don't see a connection between high school and future success are doomed to spend their school years in a 'neutral' position," it reports. "The way to turn on turned-off students is to help them understand the role of high school achievement in reaching their goals in life as well as in education and employment."
