that all true alternative education programs exist for one
fundamental purpose: to make a positive difference in a student's
life. In "Groundwork, " Gann delivers a roadmap to re-engage
disenfranchised students through an effective alternative education
program.This step-by-step guide demystifies the principles of
alternative education and outlines how to create a program in which
each student assumes personal responsibility for his or her
learning and experiences a framework for developing success. With
personal examples and anecdotes, Gann provides a clear, accessible
plan for the implementation of alternative programs in support of a
district's traditional school setting. "Groundwork" examines the
following: The four questions that must be asked when founding a
new program The components of a true alternative educational
program Five techniques for implementation Positive-based
disciplinary practices Program longevity and the art of survivalIn
"Groundwork, " Gann presents a blunt and uncompromising demand for
educators to invest in kids and calls for public education to
provide programs which reconnect at-risk youth with their
educational environments.
