ERIC ED323592: Replication Guide for the Leadership

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Designed for persons in schools or community agencies who wish to implement a program for at-risk youth that emphasizes the development of leadership skills, this replication guide represents 2 years of program refinement. While the strategies described here can be managed by either a school or agency, this guide was written from the perspective of an outside agency as the program operator. Underlying the Leadership program being operated in Portland, Oregon, by the Southeast Youth Service Center (in partnership with the Portland Public Schools), is the belief that programs for at-risk youth need to do more than eliminate unacceptable behavior; they need to take youth to a level of self-confidence that results in a sense of personal power and control. While this document–containing three student profiles, a project description, and a discussion of replication issues with checklists–can be a guide for a very effective and successful effort, the Leadership program should not be considered a “quick fix” for the problems of at-risk youth.

Because the problems faced by youth are often deep-seated and complex, the solutions are also complex and intensive. Publicity, forms, learning resources, and a group challenge course are detailed in the appendices. (KM
