My students are at-risk high school students coming from diverse backgrounds whose only commonality is a distaste for (and lack of success with) traditional school practices. My students are part of a "school-within-a-school" where they are taught their core classes as a group outside of the more mainstream classes, but still participate in electives with the larger student body. Motivation is extremely low for my students and because they haven't found success in school before, they come to our program already in danger of dropping out. Our students benefit from having a different schedule and teachers willing to work with them one-on-one, to utilize less traditional methods in their classroom instruction, and do as many "hands-on" activities as possible. Students are rarely eager to speak publicly, and often decry attempts to get them to share their knowledge in front of their classmates.
