- W791816096 abstract "[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A high school diploma gives students access to postsecondary education and better employment prospects --without which they may endure a lifetime of poverty, welfare dependence, and poor health. Since the mid-1990s, students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) have consistently had the highest dropout rates of students in all disability groups; they also have the worst behavioral and social outcomes. In addition to experiencing unemployment, underemployment, and poor social relationships, over 60% of youth with emotional and behavioral disorders are arrested within four years of leaving high school (Newman et al., 2010). Helping students with emotional and behavioral disorders return to school to earn a high school diploma is therefore a critical necessity. Through our work with state directors of education, school district administrators, and teachers, we have identified the characteristics of re-entry programs that show promise in re-engaging out-of-school youth with emotional and behavioral disorders. Locating out-of-school youth Contacting youth as soon as they stop attending is important. The first steps should involve simple measures such as phoning them, sending text messages, attempting to reach them through social media, and sending personalized letters from teachers with whom the student had a good relationship. School districts have several departments (e.g., homeless education, migrant education) that can help locate youth. Community organizations such as clinics serving pregnant teens, juvenile justice agencies, substance abuse treatment facilities, and employers who hire individuals without a high school diploma also can help refer out-of-school youth. Partnerships with law enforcement officers can help locate youth who are not in school. Some programs have had success using current students to recruit their out-of-school friends. If family members are still in school, they also may be able to provide the location of youth who have dropped out. A popular method of re-engaging students is for school districts to organize teams of district and community volunteers to spend a day visiting the homes of out-of-school youth. Some districts host re-engagement fairs with exhibitors from different programs (e.g., charter schools, trade schools, colleges, GED testing centers). In addition, many school districts advertise re-entry programs through flyers, brochures, billboards, electronic marquees, cable television channels, local radio stations, and local newspapers. When distributing flyers, it is important to target locations in which out-of-school youth are likely to be found, such as laundromats, food banks, and low-income housing communities. Completing high school To provide a pathway to postsecondary education, many re-entry programs have partnered with local community and technical colleges. Students with emotional and behavioral disorders often feel restricted by the petty rules of high school and thrive in a more adult college environment. The High School Correspondence Program in Iowa meets the needs of such students by allowing them to enroll at Des Moines Area Community College to earn transfer credits for their home high school. In Aurora Public Schools in Colorado, students learn essential social skills and life skills in high school while attending the local community college one day a week to earn dual high school and college credits. In addition to providing a pathway to postsecondary education, some partnerships with community and technical colleges also help prepare students for the workforce. The Tacoma (Wash.) Business Academy High School offers students career and technical education classes at Bates Technical College and hands-on work experience through local employers. Students can use college credits, job placement experiences, and online classes to accelerate earning their high school diploma. …" @default.
