The purpose of this research was to investigate the perceptions of students and staff members regarding their experiences in an alternative learning program for disruptive students in a rural school setting. The research involved two data-gathering techniques: onsite interviews and observations. The objective was to determine (a) how students and staff in the alternative learning programs experienced schooling and what meanings they attached to these experiences, (b) what disruptive students perceived as the major impact of the alternative learning program on their self-esteem and social behavior, and (c) what staff members perceived as the major impact of the alternative learning programs on students' self-esteem and social behavior. Findings from the study were used to answer three research questions relative to the alternative education programs for disruptive students and to make recommendations for program improvements.

This book provokes a conversation about what supportive schooling contexts for both students and teachers might look like, and considers how schooling can contribute to a more socially-just society. It takes as its starting point the position of the most marginalised students, many of whom have either been rejected by or have rejected mainstream schooling, and argues that the experiences of these students suggest that it is time for schools to be reimagined for all young people. Utilizing both theory and data, the volume critiques many of the issues in conventional schools that work against education, and presents evidence ‘from the field’ in the form of data from unconventional schooling sites, which demonstrates some of the structural, relational, curricular and pedagogical changes that appear to be enabling schooling for education for their students. It will be essential reading for students and researchers in the fields of education, sociology and social work, and will also be of great interest to practising teachers.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate two alternative programs in a North Carolina (NC) and South Carolina (SC) public school district to determine if they are effective in delivering constructive interventions that modify student behavior once students have left the programs and have returned to their regular learning environments. This mixed-method evaluation consisted of an experimental-comparison design approach that included interviews with program participants, focus groups, and comparison of the number of out-of-school suspensions that participants received after completing the alternative school programs in both school districts. -- The researcher and trained interviewers administered a survey to 16 certified staff members in the NC district including the executive director and principal. A stratified random proportionate sample was used to produce functionally equivalent groups from the NC WISE database for the number of alternative school reassignments due to long-term out-of-school suspensions of African-American ninth graders who received major disciplinary infractions. -- The three research questions that guided the evaluation and their findings were (1) "What practices are contributing to students' success in the alternative program?" Data analysis in this program evaluation showed that academic and behavior interventions involving the use of alternative education counselors and case managers were significant contributors to the success of the program; (2) "To what extent is the alternative program following its design as planned?" Data showed that the program was following its design as planned but was strained by a lack of collaboration with students' home school counselors, teachers, and administrators of assigned students; and (3) "What is the effect of the alternative program on the recidivism rate?" In both years considered in this evaluation, there were no repeat offenders, thus supporting the notion that the NC alternative education setting was successful in decreasing the recidivism rate and increasing the success rate of students. -- Based on these findings, the companion investigators concluded that the NC and SC alternative education programs were effective in decreasing recidivism for African-American males and females in ninth grade and increasing student success when they returned to their home school. Findings also suggested a strong need for greater collaboration with the home schools and transference of interventions and practices. These elements were thought to be necessary by the alternative education staff in sustaining student success once the students returned to their traditional education settings. The investigators offered a professional development model outcome for the consideration of the executive staff and Board of Education members to improve the overall success of not only African-American students but students of all ethnic subgroups within both southeastern school districts.

The purpose of this study is to identify an appropriate structure to successfully serve all alternative students in an effort to increase the graduation rate and academic proficiency of the students at an alternative high school in rural Southeastern North Carolina. The following topics and subtopics will be addressed in this research: at risk, alternative learning programs/schools, high school completion, seat time, virtual learning, approaches to course credits, attendance/absences, suspension, dropouts, summary and finding, credit by mastery, results and recommendations and conclusion. The researcher addressed the following research question: To what extent, if any, did virtual learning opportunities and seat time requirements impact student performance? Quantitative research designs were used to gain insight into academic structures that serve non-traditional students. The intent of the research was to define key elements that need to occur to increase academic performance and graduation rates. Quantitative research included descriptive statistics and compilation of the data collected from the survey results. Students, parents/guardians, faculty, staff, and administrators participated in the study. Key factors that were identified in order to improve the academic performance and graduation rates for students in alternative settings were: clear mission, positive culture and climate, parent involvement, community involvement, effective leadership, professional development, aligned and focused curriculum and instruction and monitoring and assessment. Based upon this research recommendations are: the school should be a program located on the corridor of the only high school in the district, shared core values and guiding concepts that is representative of student, staff and administration, self-paced virtual online curriculum (credit by mastery) and a highly qualified staff that desire to teach at the alternative school.

Some students find it difficult to reach graduation in a regular secondary school setting, but may be successful in an alternative setting. Causes of not graduating could include high absenteeism and behavior problems, which may result in dropping out. This study sought student perceptions of an alternative program in a public school district in the state of Mississippi. The participants were 10 students and their parents, 10 teachers, and the administrator. Data included interviews and school documents, and were analyzed using the constant comparative method. This research found that some of the students were enthused upon receiving alternative placement. Students liked the curriculum tailored to their individual needs, more one-on-one time with the teacher, and the opportunity to focus on the changes that they needed to make to improve their educational opportunities. Some parents expressed their disappointment in their child's placement; however, there were some parents who prefer the alternative school over regular school. The parents who were disappointed thought it to be a place where they put bad kids and where the teachers were not good teachers. The parents who preferred it liked the smaller teacher-student ratio and believed that alternative teachers were more supportive and kind. The teachers expressed the alternative school does not get the same attention as other district schools and is seen as a dumping ground for both teachers and students. Recommendations to the district include: evaluate the criteria for placing students in the alternative school, increase communication between the alternative and the regular school, provide a specialist to help focus on student learning styles, provide a full-time counselor to help students deal with the issues contributing to their lack of success in the regular school, and improve the physical setting for the alternative school. Further research is needed in the district: to determine what could be improved in the alternative academic program; to determine whether the alternative school curriculum is meeting state standards; and to examine the acceptance of students and faculty in the alternative program by district students and personnel.
