THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Increasingly, educators are paying serious attention to the quality of the relationships that exist among staff members and students in schools. The National Association of Secondary School Principals' recent publication "Breaking Ranks," for instance, highlights "personalization" of the high school as a key challenge for school reform. Similarly, Ernest Boyer argued in "The Basic School" that fostering "community" in elementary schools is essential for effective schooling in the early grades. Indeed, a good deal of evidence now exists suggesting that a strong sense of community in schools has benefits for both staff members and students and provides a necessary foundation for school improvement. WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF COMMUNITY IN SCHOOLS?

Education var doctitle=document.title document.write(doctitle) Add to My NCSL Education Program Alternative Education Legislative Tracking More Information on the web NCSL Staff Contact Alternative Education Resources Since the mid-1990s, the widespread adoption of stringent discipline policies such as zero-tolerance has led state legislatures to become more involved with crafting alternative education policy and has fueled the creation of an unprecedented number of programs for suspended and expelled students and those students who are at-risk of education failure. Throughout the United States, public school alternative education programs vary, depending on individual program objectives, goals and scope of program implementation. These pages were assembled as a research tool for policymakers interested in learning more about alternative education policy, programs and students. Studies National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Requires Adobe's Acrobat Reader "The 2001 'District Survey of Alternative Schools and Programs,' conducted NCES through its Fast Response Survey System (FRSS), is the first national study of public alternative schools and programs to provide data on topics related to the availability of public alternative schools and programs, enrollment, staffing, and services. The focus of the study is on alternative schools and programs that serve students who are at risk of educational failure, as indicated by poor grades, truancy, disruptive behavior, suspension, pregnancy, or similar factors associated with early withdrawal from school. The study presents a snapshot of alternative schools and programs for at-risk students during the 2000-01 school year."

Schools A general history Salem's beginning included education The first school The first school house in Salem was a log cabin at the southwest corner of Marion and Commercial streets. It was built in 1850 and was mainly supported by families paying tuition to send their children to school. Some other money for the school came from county funds and rate bills. By January 1855, Salem school district 24J was officially organized by William P. Pugh, the county superintendent. Central School By 1859 there were 227 school age children in the district, but there is no record of how many children actually attended school. By 1865 the number of children in the district had grown to 632 with 200 students in attendance at Central School. More students meant more schools. In 1866, the district levied a 5 mill tax to build two new school. One was built in north Salem and the second school was constructed in south Salem. South School, as it was named, was originally located at Fir and Myers Streets, but it was moved to South Commercial Street in 1892. The school building was later used in turn as a cider mill, machine shop and as the W. A. Barkus Feed Mill. Between the years of 1866 to 1869 "Little" Central School and East Salem School were built. "Little" Central School was near the original Central School with fifteen non-Anglo students taught by Mrs. R. Mallory.

Oregon’s Alternative Education Community A Study by the Research Foundation for Educational Excellence The workshop participants were asked to develop a profile of the average alternative student, the profile of a successful alternative program and a profile of the partnerships that alternative school around the state engage in to provide the best in service to the students, districts and communities that the programs serve. What follows is the consensus that was developed at this workshop. THE ALTERNATIVE LEARNER IN OREGON Alternative Schools serve a variety of student needs in the State of Oregon. The State established alternative schools to primarily work with students who were in need of credit recovery. Today these schools serve students with diverse needs that must be met in order for the student to graduate from high school. New state standards require districts to provide alternatives for any student who does not meet, or exceeds the new State Benchmark Standards for education. The average student found in alternative education in Oregon has: 1. Missed too many days of school and fallen behind.

Alternative Pathways to Licensure in Oregon Oregon's Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) recognizes the need to provide alternatives so that individuals may obtain licenses as teachers, school counselors, school psychologists or administrators. People may have completed an approved program but not taken or passed the required tests. Others may have taught in other states but need to pass the tests required by Oregon. Still others may wish to become educators after a successful career in another field. Oregon offers options through the Transitional License Restricted Transitional License , and Limited License . The Professional Technical License has been offered for many years. The options provide ways for people to enter the profession from a variety of backgrounds. Individuals who hold Transitional or Restricted Transitional Licenses all must meet the requirements for the Initial License , the first stage of licensure under the Oregon system, in three years. Transitional License Transitional licenses are issued to out-of-state educators who have completed an approved program in their own states but have not yet passed the required tests in Oregon. In other cases, individuals may have completed an approved program in Oregon, but have not taken or passed the tests. This license may also be issued to an individual who had a license at one time but has not been working in the schools and so lacks recent experience. Applicants have completed an approved preparation program but lack testing requirements or recency requirements
