    Extractions: "T he ninth-grade student was a show stopper. Half of her head was shaved, and the other half was freaked out in a bold explosion of hair, bells, and ribbons. She had three gold studs in her nose and was wearing at least a dozen earrings that jingled like wind chimes when she moved. In her own distinctive way she was a beautiful young girl. I asked her why she had left her former high school to travel across town to a small alternative program. She thought for amoment then explained, 'At my other school everyone treated me like a geek; everybody thought I was kind of weird. Over here...it's like, I just disappeared into this really happy family..." Hope at Last for At-Risk Youth S tudents attending the nation's estimated 15,000 alternative schools come in all sorts of colorful packages. More than a few adopt hairstyles, wardrobes, street language, and attitudes that would make them stand out—or be kicked out—of mainstream classrooms. But what's most remarkable about this diverse student body isn't outward appearances. It's that these students, many of whom face obstacles ranging from poverty to teen pregnancy to long-term academic failure to chronic delinquency, are making an appearance in school at all. A growing body of research and years of anecdotal evidence show that students who have been labeled failures, troublemakers, or dropouts in traditional schools can thrive in smaller, more individualized settings. That may sound like plain common sense to any teacher who has worked to pull a struggling student back from the brink. It's especially timely news, however, as communities across the country wrestle with the staggering social and economic costs associated with undereducated youth. After years of operating on the margins of public education, alternative schools are getting a serious look from many different interest groups: proponents of school reform, corrections workers overwhelmed by juvenile caseloads, and employers concerned about finding enough educated young people to fill tomorrow's workplaces.

    GOING PUBLIC. schools weigh the Waldorf alternative. by Nora Mealy. california schools Winter 1997, p. 34, reproduced by permission. Return to list of articles.  
    http://www.waldorfcritics.org/active/articles/going_public.html
    
    Extractions: Return to list of articles A sense of excitement was in the air. Eager parents packed the school board meeting room, armed with their proposal for a new charter school, based on Waldorf education. One school board member was hesitant. She knew that charter regulations were complex. And she knew little about Waldorf schools. She had visited a private Waldorf school a few years back and could vaguely recall an abundance of natural objects, beautiful artwork. and some possibly religious overtones. The board member knew the California Education Code allows charter schools considerable freedom from many of the restrictions governing a traditional public school. They are exempt from most state codes and district policies regarding curriculum, instruction and personnel. However, charter schools must account for students' educational progress and meet statewide performance standards. They must also participate in state mandated testing programs. If the school does not meet its proposed student outcomes. the school board can revoke the charter. The board member also knew that the school district cannot approve a charter for a school that is sectarian or religion-based because it would violate the constitutional separation of church and state. What exactly is the Waldorf educational approach, she wondered. and is it compatible with a public school system? She knew that these questions would be a topic of discussion of the school board for the next several meetings.

    Extractions: Alternate education - Offering a second chance Bridges caters to students who've run out of chances Opportunity program offers structure, stability Students in recovery learn new ways to fit in ... Working independently requires self-motivation Stories by Sherry Posnick-Goodwin Photos by Scott Buschman No matter how they ended up in the alternative setting, the Bridges program offers Glendora area students a way to transition back to the regular classroom. Some students thrive in traditional schools, easily achieving academic success and social glory. Other students - like round pegs in square holes - find that school is not a good fit. Sometimes they fall so far behind in school credits that graduation seems impossible. Or they fall in with the wrong crowd and stop caring about school. Still others find they need to focus on surviving rather than learning. When it comes to education, one size doesn't fit all. For many students, alternative education provides an answer - or at least a second chance. In alternative settings, say teachers, students may go from struggling to thriving because they receive individual attention, the opportunity to work independently, emotional support, a small school setting with a family atmosphere, and behavior modification to help overcome social and behavioral problems. Some students attend alternative schools because they want to; others attend because they've had trouble learning in a traditional school setting. No matter how students end up in alternative education, many find they can succeed there - perhaps for the first time in their lives.

    Extractions: DES MOINES. The Iowa Attorney General's Office has asked a court to prohibit all business in Iowa by a purported adult education program that operated in Council Bluffs, unless the program cooperates with a state consumer fraud investigation of allegations of deception and misrepresentation. In a court action filed today in Des Moines, the State Consumer Protection Division said "California Alternative High School" has failed to comply with a subpoena. The subpoena seeks information to determine if the private corporation engaged in deception by representing that completion of its program would be equivalent to a high school diploma or GED general equivalency degree and would qualify consumers for acceptance at colleges and universities. The program reportedly cost about $600 for ten weeks of classes, three hours per week. The action asked the Polk County District Court to prohibit "California Alternative High School" and its "Principal," A.D. Gossai from any further advertising or sales in Iowa if they fail to comply with the subpoena. The program appears to have stopped activity in Iowa, but the action seeks a formal court order shutting down the purported school unless it complies with the consumer fraud investigation. The subpoena seeks names of those who paid for classes, and other things.

It was conceived and implemented to meet the need for new teachers across the nation and especially in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since then, the program has prepared more than three hundred candidates for a California preliminary teaching credential in either Multiple Subject or Single Subject with a CLAD Emphasis. These credentials are granted by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and are accepted throughout California and in those states that recognize California teaching credentials. Program Goals The primary goal of the partnership program is simultaneously to prepare (CSUH) and to employ (WCCUSD) those individuals who seek a California teaching credential. The secondary goal of the program is to recruit into the teaching profession underrepresented minorities and math and science candidates.

According to the latest teacher supply and demand projections, the nation will need to hire 2.2 million people to teach who are not currently teaching in the nation's elementary and secondary schools in the next decade. There is mounting concern about teacher preparation and the quality of the teaching force. Alarms have also been sounded about the numbers of teachers who are teaching "out of field", i.e., teaching a subject for which they have neither an academic major nor a minor.
