Are Your Students Aging Out?

We also offer support for Summer School & Credit Recovery

States have a variety of requirements for the school attendance age of their students. Most states have laws regarding the minimum and maximum ages at which education must be offered free of charge. “Free education” refers to the ages in which a person must be admitted to a public school by law without charge. “Compulsory education” refers to the age range where students are required to be in school. All states (including Washington, D.C.) have implemented laws setting compulsory attendance and maximum limits of ages.

We can provide an immediate solution for your aging out students.

Whether you have one high school student that is aging out or one hundred; whether they need 2 credits or 22 credits, Smart Schools is prepared to help your students graduate!

BASIC CORE PROGRAMS

• Mentoring/Tutoring: Mentoring is a one-to-one caring, supportive relationship between a mentor and a mentee that is based on trust. Tutoring, also a one-to-one activity, focuses on academics and is an effective practice when addressing specific needs such as reading, writing, or math competencies.

• Service-Learning: Service-learning connects meaningful community service experiences with academic learning. This teaching/learning method promotes personal and social growth, career development, and civic responsibility and can be a powerful vehicle for effective school reform at middle school and high school grade levels.

• Alternative Schooling: Alternative schooling provides potential dropouts a variety of options that can lead to graduation, with programs paying special attention to the student’s individual social needs and academic requirements for a high school diploma.

• After-School/Out-of-School Opportunities: Many schools provide after-school and summer school programs that eliminate information loss and inspire interest in a variety of areas. Such experiences are especially important for students at risk of school failure because these programs fill the afternoon “gap time” with constructive and engaging activities.

PROGRAM Overview:

• Professional Development: Teachers who work with youth at high risk of academic failure need to feel supported and have an avenue by which they can continue to develop skills, techniques, and learn about innovative strategies.

• Active Learning: Active learning embraces teaching and learning strategies that engage and involve students in the learning process. Students find new and creative ways to solve problems, achieve success, and become lifelong learners when educators show them that there are different ways to learn.

• Educational Technology: Technology offers some of the best opportunities for delivering instruction to engage students in authentic learning, addressing multiple intelligences, and adapting to students’ learning styles.

• Individualized Instruction: Each student has unique interests and past learning experiences. An individualized instructional program for each student allows for flexibility in teaching methods and motivational strategies to consider these individual differences.

• Career and Technical Education (CTE): A quality CTE program and a related guidance program are essential for all students. School-to-work programs recognize that youth need specific skills to prepare them to measure up to the larger demands of today’s workplace.
