Oklahoma City Public Schools The oklahoma City Public schools alternative Education Programs include The About Face Academy, Dunjee Academy, Emerson, Gateway Academy, SAVE, and SeeWorth http://www.okcps.k12.ok.us/eservices/alternative.htm
Extractions: Oklahoma City Public Schools believes in providing a quality education to every student. However, the district realizes regular classroom settings may not meet the needs of every student. Alternative Education provides students with unique situations and open avenues for continuing their education while addressing their unique needs. The core subjects taught through the alternative programs are math, social studies, language arts, and science. Admissions: Dress code: As with many Oklahoma City Public Schools, students attending an alternative education program may be required to wear a uniform or follow a strict dress code. Uniforms and dress codes are not a punishment but a way of neutralizing the environment to maximize learning. Re-entry to home school: The goal of all alternative education programs is the successful return of students to their home school. However, the District does not send students back before they are ready or have a strong possibility of failing in that environment.

Extractions: Home In Oklahoma , one out of four adults over the age of 25 has not finished high school, according to the 1990 U.S. Census. This statistic may mean that a large number of adults are unprepared for the demands placed upon them as workers, family members and citizens. Also, these adults may not have the full range of economic, social and personal options that are open to Oklahomans with higher levels of literacy skills. The Lifelong Learning Section of the State Department of Education offers a number of programs to provide undereducated adults the opportunity to become fully participating workers, parents and citizens. Adult Basic Education (ABE) and literacy classes are provided for adults who need literacy and basic skills instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, life skills and job readiness. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Through a contract with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, the local ABE programs provide literacy, basic skills, job readiness, life skills and GED preparation classes for TANF clients statewide. These classes meet the work activity requirement for TANF recipients which allows them to retain their welfare assistance grants while learning the basic literacy and job readiness skills needed to secure long-term employment. General Educational Development (GED) In addition to basic skills instruction, adults receive instruction to prepare them to pass the GED tests. Passing the GED tests qualifies adults to receive a Certificate of High School Equivalency. Pre-GED instruction is also available for those adults functioning at or below the 8th grade level.

Extractions: March 9, 2003 Tahlequah Alternative education is very please to serve many students in our county. For most people the term alternative education has either a negative meaning, or often as not , no meaning at all. The most direct definition for alternative education in Oklahoma is programs that "keep kids in school." It is not acceptable or wise for our community's future if any of our youth "slip through the cracks." On May 23rd Tahlequah Alternative Education programs combined will see approximately 35 students walk across the graduation stage with their fellow seniors. It is very important to realize they would not have been able to do this without alternative education. You may ask why they can't just go to school like you or I did. Today's society provides many opportunities for students to get off track or feel defeated and lose hope. The program offered by Tahlequah Public Schools serve our Junior High School and Senior High School, as well as, Hulbert, Keys, Briggs, and Grandview schools through our cooperative agreement sanctioned by the State Department of Education. Alternative education is for students that need something beyond the typical curriculum and assessment that is focus of traditional school programs. This does not mean one is better that the other, just a different approach to attain the goal of educating students.

Extractions: In The Alternative Teaching Mode: Dialogue Is Essential Part 3 The Multiple Paths To Knowing Part 1 - Introduction What is Identity? This article was delivered as a keynote speech at the 1998 Fall Conference: Expressive Arts in Alternative Education footnotes and references are available in a separate browser window - click on footnote numbers throughout text. Overwhelmingly alternative education students are black males, students with independent streaks, students with leadership qualities who often use these qualities for their own ends, and students who see themselves as possessing a multidimensional identity. The adventuresome, opinionated, assertive student who refuses to be pigeonholed. Many of these students have difficulties that include: behavior problems; adjustment difficulties, poor peer interaction, difficulty with authority figures, poor motivation, insecurity and a lack of self-confidence, talk too much or talk too little, are disruptive, destructive, aggressive, and many are chronically irritable/depressed/angry.

Extractions: Oklahoma Prisons by Philip D. Holley Dennis Brewster Abstract INTRODUCTION In the mid-1970s, a group of lifers at Rahway (New Jersey) State Prison began the "Juvenile Awareness Program." It was designed to bring juveniles in trouble with the justice system into a prison setting and let them "see" prison first hand. The experience included subjecting the youth to explicit and sexually graphic language, swearing, and threats. Although similar programs, some with less threatening approaches, had been in place at other prisons in other states from the previous decade, that program received acclaim for its reported success, later dramatically portrayed nationally in the documentary, "Scared Straight!" Criticism of the confrontational style and challenges to the reported high success rates were soon voiced (Finckenauer, 1982). Discredited as a panacea, the controversy led to dramatic changes in those programs. Even though significantly affected by the controversy, the programs would not and did not die. Today there appears to be public misunderstanding regarding the continuation of confrontational programs, as well as controversy regarding their benefits. However, strong support for military-style, boot camp programs has certainly existed in many states, and especially in Oklahoma (Holley & Wright, 1994). Even today, scare tactics connected to harsh punishment are not unknown in parent-child discipline as well as in society's effort to maintain social control. Many have believed that "iron therapy" has been effective (Ervin, 1996, p. A-9). While inmate- and prison-based prevention programs have by no means considered panaceas, they have continued to serve as weapons in society's arsenal in the fight against crime.
