Led by Dr. Delmore, our teachers are professionals dedicated to the advancement of every kid. They, and to a great degree our parents, are available, committed, and caring. Walk our halls and you will quickly see and feel why this school works on all levels for all kids." O'Keeffe Middle School is a grade 6-8 school of 410 students. Approximately 35% of our students are in poverty, 40% are minority group members, 20% are Exceptional Educational Needs (EEN) students, and 7% are English Language Learner (ELL) students. Factors contributing to our academic achievement include abolishing tracking in grades 6 and 7 math classes; giving all students access to a higher quality, more demanding curriculum; including virtually all special education students in regular education classes all the time (eliminating or reducing "pull-out" classes); and focusing staff development efforts on teaching reading in all content areas. We also disaggregate all standardized test data and use information gained to adjust our instructional focus. The most powerful factor in our success has been the quality instruction provided by a dedicated staff working together in regular and special education teaching teams.

When teachers, parents, school boards, the press and others need information and help, they turn to NCSE. While most of NCSE's work involves defending evolution against attacks, we also work to increase public understanding of evolution and science "as a way of knowing." We also have programs to help teachers who want to improve their teaching of evolution. Here you'll find information and resources for all these activities.

Extractions: by Earl E. Appleby, Jr. To address the problem of juvenile crime, communities have begun by assessing the nature and extent of factors contributing to delinquency and developing effective responses. Of particular concern is the growing problem of violence in and around schools. Communities are exploring a variety of ways to reduce the level of juvenile crime and violence. Promising methods include strategic approaches, violence reduction programs in schools, youth-oriented community policing, improved access to legal representation and resources for juveniles and their families, and grassroots initiatives. Taking a Strategic Approach Research has shown that many risk factors increase the chances of youth developing problem behaviors. Understanding these factors is the first step toward identifying effective ways to prevent delinquency. Equally important is the role of protective factors that buffer young people from the negative consequences of exposure to risks either by reducing the risk or changing the way the youth responds to that risk. Workshop participants heard about the Social Development Strategy, a model that describes how hypertensive protective factors develop, work, and influence one another. The strategy demonstrates the need for effective delinquency prevention programs to:

Georgia strives to provide an inspiring and meaningful educational experience to students who have academic or behavior learning needs that may best be met in a non-traditional setting. History and Overview Georgia's Alternative Education Program began as a state grant funded program in 1994 and was known as the CrossRoads Alternative School Program. CrossRoads primarily served students who had been removed from the regular classroom due to chronic disruption and provided these students with the services needed to succeed academically. With the passage of the A+ Education Reform Act of 2000, CrossRoads grants were eliminated and QBE funds began providing for a "new" Alternative Education Program for students in grades 6-12.
