The next chapter on the barriers to implementation discusses and provides examples of these issues. Newly Created School Founded to Serve a Special Population Newly created school founded to serve a special population. This newly created 9-12 school was founded to serve students who either have or are at risk of dropping out of school. Some students come to this school to catch up on credits in order to return to their traditional high schools and others stay on to graduate from this accredited institution. The school's educational program consists of the Josten's computer-assisted instruction program supplemented with teacher created units and a work internship program.
Students work at their own pace and attend school four hours a day in one of three shifts.
Exhibit 5-2 shows a very clear pattern for schools aiming to serve a special population. Newly Created School Founded for Parent Involvement Newly created schools founded for parent involvement. Educators, parents, and community activists founded this K-4 school. It is based on the belief that parental and community involvement are fundamental to raising students' academic achievement. The school creates strong parent-school partnerships by involving them on the school's governing board and providing English as a second language, family literacy, parenting, and citizenship training.
