Home Back to Experiential Learning Adventure Therapy Problems with Alternative Schools James Neill Last updated: 06 Oct 2004 The quality of an alternative school consists of two main components: the program (i.e., the school climate, curriculum, including the school location, the activities, etc.), and b) the staff (i.e., the teachers, the administrative staff etc). Thus three main categories of problems can occur Sometimes there are good curricula, but poor implementation; other times there are great teachers in poor working environments. There are some alternative schools with excellent staff and a well-designed curriculum; and in the alternative systems of most concern are poor teachers, with poor curriculum. More so than in mainstream education, there area a wide variety in the quality of alternative schools - e.g., Montessori, Steiner, Charter Schools, Schools for Troubled Youth, Outdoor Education. Some programs are fantastic, many are OK, and some have significant problems. Look for evidence of the degree of match between the stated mission and goals and the actual curriculum/practice - because there is little standardization across alternative schools, be aware that actual program content varies considerably.

ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS June 27, 2000 Alternative public schools for disruptive students. Elizabeth Brackett of WTTW, Chicago reports. ELIZABETH BRACKETT: Sitting quietly in class, 16- year-old Amy Allen doesn't look like a troubled teen-ager, but last year Allen was expelled from her Chicago high school after stealing the school watchman's car. She wound up in this alternative school in Chicago, which she now says is the best thing that could have happened to her. AMY ALLEN: If it wasn't here, I really think I would have went a lot farther downhill than uphill 'cause when you come here, it's like the teachers, they motivate you, and they give you, like, better things to think of. And they give you more goals to look at. And they make sure you don't do anything bad, you know? They're like, "you are going to finish high school, go on to college." And you know, that gives you, like, self-esteem. You're like, "hey, I can do it. If she thinks so, then I have to think so." ELIZABETH BRACKETT: The Crawford First high school is one of 12 alternative schools in the Chicago system. Though alternative education once meant a whole range of options to public education, in Illinois it now means public schools for disruptive students who are about to be expelled or Chicago School Board President Gery Chico says it is essential to provide options other than expulsion.
