It opened in August of 1988 on the campus of Parkway West Area Vocational-Technical School. It was established as an option for students having difficulty succeeding in a traditional high school. One of its major goals is to help students develop a sense of responsibility for their own learning. Pennsylvania certified secondary teachers acting as advisors help students define and work toward goals. Parents are expected to support the school's efforts to help their child. As students acquire enough credits to meet high school graduation requirements, they will be eligible to receive diplomas from their home schools. Students who do not attain a diploma are encouraged to obtain a General Education Development (G.E.D.) certificate.

At-Risk Students Who Find Success
Atrisk students Who Find Success! HOW Why? There is a small percentageof teenagers who dropout of high school and become self-made millionaires.
http://www.motivation-tools.com/youth/at-risk_who_succeed.htm

Extractions: The "Youth Motivation" website is available for download in PDF format. There is a small percentage of teenagers who dropout of high school and become self-made millionaires. HOW and WHY, you may ask? These achievers used self-motivated projects with interactive learning methods to develop valuable skills. Does it not make sense that these people hold the secret to achievement that other students could follow? Why does society keep pushing failed policies on failing students? Education leaders' wants society to believe that students in passive learning environments are the only ones who find success. They want everyone to believe that success personalities are based on classroom compatibility. Super achievers are interactive learners who take on projects that are in harmony with their natural talent. Their projects are based on dreams, goals and/or creative ideas. Finding a way to develop self-inspired ideas, and get it right, is a powerful motivating drive. Interactive learning is the power behind people who have above average income. The sequence is as follows: The first step is to have a burning idea/ goal that motivates . This will be based on natural talent, if free of outside pressure.

Reaching At-Risk Students Through Video
REACHING ATrisk students THROUGH VIDEO. by. David H. Elkind and Freddy Sweet,Ph.D. Showing a video to at-risk students, however, is only the first step.
http://www.livewiremedia.com/At-risk.html

Extractions: REACHING AT-RISK STUDENTS THROUGH VIDEO by David H. Elkind and Freddy Sweet, Ph.D. "What if you saw an elderly woman in a department store unknowingly drop a $50 bill and walk away. What would you do?" This is one of many hypothetical situations we posed to several diverse groups of middle school students across the country during the production of our public television series " Big Changes, Big Choices ." "I'd keep it," one boy said right away. A girl looked at him disdainfully and asked, "What if that was your grandmother?" The boy shrugged and said, "Too bad." The girl persisted, "But what if she didn't have any other money, and she would go hungry? The boy grimaced and another girl tossed her hair back and interjected, "Well, I'd keep it if I was the only person who saw it." Middle school students consistently responded in such an open and honest way, even when our dilemmas conflicted with their initial impulses. We videotaped these unrehearsed responses, which have since been viewed by hundreds of thousands of middle school students nationwide on television in their homes, and on video in the classroom.

Including At-Risk Students In Standards-Based Reform: A Report On McRELs Diver
What is true of all students is especially true for students atrisk of failingin school. But for at-risk students, these issues are much more critical.
http://www.mcrel.org/PDFConversion/Diversity/rt2chapter5.html

Extractions: Table of Contents Chapter 5 Conclusion Students who are considered to be at-risk come from a variety of socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. They also have differing levels of ability. They can be homeless students; students who are teen parents; students with physical or mental disabilities; American Indian, immigrant, migrant ,or refugee students, students who are neglected, delinquent or at-risk of dropping out of school; students who live in single-parent homes or live with other relatives; or students who live in high-poverty areas. Further, any student can become "at-risk" at any time. What is true of all students is especially true for students at-risk of failing in school. All students flourish in an environment that meets their needs, reflects their background and interests, and values them as individuals. But for at-risk students, these issues are much more critical. As the authors of the papers presented in this publication collectively argue, schools must work to establish the conditions that are necessary to maximize students' opportunities to learn. These essential ingredients, which might be identified as "opportunity-to-learn standards," help ensure that all students have access to the resources, support, and experiences they need to meet academic standards. The papers presented at McREL's At-Risk Diversity Roundtable, along with ideas shared during discussions at the roundtable, suggest at least three areas educators can focus on that will increase the likelihood of success for students considered to be at risk:
CNN - Alcohol Still Top Health Risk To College Students - November 22, 1998
CNN.com
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9811/23/binge.drinking/

Extractions: Web posted at: 7:51 p.m. EST (0051 GMT) From Correspondent Bill Delaney BOSTON (CNN) Despite some high-profile deaths and years of "drink responsibly" campaigns, alcohol remains the No. 1 health risk to college students, according to alcohol abuse experts. On average, 50 students die from drinking every year. And the epidemic of on- and off-campus "binge drinking," defined as putting down five drinks at one sitting for young men or four for young women, continues. A recent Harvard study concludes that 44 percent of college students binge drink. "It is not simply enough to tell them not to engage in high- risk drinking," said Bill DeJong of the Center for Alcohol and Drug Prevention. "Presidents need to say 'Yes, this is a priority' in order to provide a safe environment." DeJong also said colleges will have to curb binge drinking to stay competitive in the academic marketplace.
