This book was released on 2020 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graduation rates are used in state school accountability models to grade the effectiveness of school districts. Indiana politicians and educators have made suggestions on how school districts should best meet the needs of students. This dissertation focused on how school districts meet the needs of underserved students in alternative settings. The Self-Determination Theory by Deci and Ryan (2016) was used as a lens to view student perspectives for this case study. Self-Determination Theory suggests that students need to feel autonomous, related to the school environment, and competent in achieving their goals. These three needs were the basis for which qualitative methods were used to collect data. Three students were interviewed and observed interacting with teachers and other students in one Indiana alternative school. Using a narrative inquiry approach, the goal was to understand how three students describe their experiences while attending an alternative school. To triangulate the data obtained through student interviews and observations, teachers were interviewed and school documents were analyzed. After analysis of the data, three themes emerged as important to students: teacher-student relationships, student experiences, and complexity of resources. Students revealed that they valued the positive relationships, social experiences, and motivational interactions which made them feel a sense of belonging and confidence. The findings and implications of this qualitative case study suggest ways schools and policy makers may investigate in the effort to provide the needs of students in alternative schools. The dissertation surfaces the student perceptions regarding their experiences.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, research has investigated the phenomenon of high school drop outs. Research has been conducted at the local, state, national, and international levels. Data have been gathered on the gender, socio economic status, ethnic and racial status, to name just a few of the categories. Information has also been gathered about the various identifiable risk factors (Belfield, 2007; Chapman, 2007; Swanson, 2008; Gleason & Dynarski, 2002). There has been little research about dropping out from the perspective of the potential dropouts themselves (Harvey & Housman, 2005). Most research focused on solid quantitative data, resulting in scores of informative facts and figures. While these hard quantitative data have provided an informative statistical landscape, they only provided part of the total picture of the high school dropout. Several researchers have written about the lack of scholarly information that encompasses the viewpoint of the high school students themselves (Garnier, Stein, & Jacobs, 1997). Investigators cited the need for more research to be conducted to examine the viewpoint of the student (Bridgeland & Dilulio, 2002). There was a lack of research on students' perceptions of how alternative high schools can help students stay in school. This study used qualitative methods to examine alternative high school students perception of barriers to education and how their alternative high school helped them stay in school. This study used archival data from the school, field observation notes, and interviews with 10 students. This research attempted to answer two questions: What do alternative high school students perceive to be barriers to education? How is the alternative high school helping students to stay in school? Research showed that students at this alternative high school perceived their largest barrier to education to be their home life and all of the issues they faced at home. Home issues included relationship issues with parents, frequent moves, foster homes, pregnancy, and unemployment issues. Students also felt that issues at the traditional school also were barriers to finishing their education. Most of these school issues revolved around relational aggression or co rumination between male-female and female-female associations. Students felt that the interpersonal relationships and support they received from their teachers and staff at the alternative high school significantly contributed to helping them stay in school. In addition to the caring attitude of teachers and school personnel, students also felt the flexible educational delivery system of a blended online curriculum also contributed to them staying in school. Students felt the individualized personal curriculum best met their needs, both educationally and circumstantially. Students had the flexibility to always have access to the online curriculum, thus allowing them the flexibility to not get behind in school work when home situations and crisis surfaced. Students could go back over their school work until they understood the concept, allowing for a deeper level of understanding and success. Students could work at their own pace and choose what subjects to work on. This allowed students to maximize their opportunities to learn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ongoing research identifies students' perception of school belonging as a key predictor of academic achievement and other positive youth development outcomes. However, more research is needed to understand the role that school belonging plays in alternative education. The current study uses secondary data to explore associations among individual- and school-related factors and students' perception of belonging. Individual factors explored include socioeconomic status, race, gender, participation in special education, age, grade, and English language learner (ELL) status. School-related factors include attendance, grade point average (GPA), credits earned, achievement testing, and type of alternative education program of participation within alternative education. Additionally, relationships among perceptions of school belonging and other positive school experiences (such as supportive relationships and self-efficacy) were examined. Overall, results demonstrate students experience differences in perceptions of school belonging across several key individual factors and across alternative education programs. For example, non-Asian minority students reported lower perceptions of school belonging compared to high-achieving/non-minority students. In addition, students in Type 2 dropout prevention programs showed significantly lower perceptions of school belonging when compared to students in Type 1 programs for acceleration. Statistically significant and positive correlations were found among perceptions of school belonging, supportive relationships, attendance, and academic achievement. Findings suggest the value of student perceptions of school belonging for promoting outcomes in alternative education settings, as well as point to the need for school belonging-related interventions especially among students in Type 2 programs and those who are disengaged and experience limited connections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to investigate how high school students described their experiences attending a Type II alternative school (geared toward students with behavioral problems and poor student attendance) in Central Georgia and the factors that motivated them to persist to graduation. The overarching research question was: How do high school graduates describe their experiences attending an alternative school in Central Georgia that motivated them to persist toward graduation? Schein's organizational culture model, Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory and Maslow's hierarchy of needs served as the conceptual framework. Participants included eight students who had previously attended an alternative high school and were on track to graduate. Using the information gathered through interviews, a focus group, archival data, and field notes, the following four significant themes emerged: 1) student perceptions of alternative school climate; 2) structured environment of the alternative school resulted in conformity; 3) students believed that alternative school changed their path; and 4) alternative school changed the students’ dynamic with parents. Further analysis ultimately highlighted 11 subthemes. The benefits of alternative schools are documented and contribute to instilling student intrinsic motivation to graduate and to the ultimate success of its students.
