Many of the needed resources for the program to succeed have been provided by the businesses who have identified the projects for the students. A great deal of equipment and volunteer time has been provided by the businesses and government agencies involved. Additional funding has been provided through grants. The Idaho State Dept. of Education has provided grant monies, as has the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory. Since so many of the needed resources have been provided by business contribution, the need for direct cash outlays has been minimized.
Solutions is an open-enrollment class.
The program is adapted to meet the needs of all students. The Results Over time we have continued to make some important improvements to the model. We have developed a Solutions curriculum that has greatly helped prepare students to successfully handle many of the problems they encounter. We have become much more skilled at identifying projects with greater potential benefit for students. We have also become much more successful at reaching all types of students, especially those with disabilities.
