The Northwest Sampler

The following pages contain descriptions of two school systems that were determined to change the way they dealt with failing students. Both have received national recognition for their efforts. The first site chose to make its changes within the traditional educational setting; the second changed its concept of school and the way students learn. These Northwest programs represent some of the promising strategies being implemented in schools around the nation. Included for each location is contact information, a description of the program, student perspectives, observed outcomes as a result of the program, and tips directly from these educators to others looking to implement similar efforts.
