About Me:
I teach in an alternative school. My students are those that have been excluded from their home schools due to behavior problems. My background is special education, mainly with the middle school population. I am a National Board Certified teacher and certified to teach all elementary and middle school subjects.
What do you hope to learn, or share, on this forum?
I am interested in learning how with other school ;systems are educating "juvenile delinquents;" These students who are in school only because they are court ordered to be!

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( pollardjames96@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Thanks for joining the group. You'll see that much of my focus is on how communities can build and sustain non-school volunteer-based organizations that bring extra adults and experiences into the lives of kids who are in high poverty areas. This site is supported by the Library of links I've been building over the past 18 years as well as a variety of ideas that I share on the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC site. I believe that youth could be digging into this information and learning to share it with peers and adults in their communities as a form of learning and service that is similar to what the Asia Society was suggesting. In doing this they could be supported by volunteers from area businesses who serve as mentors and who also help open doors to jobs and life opportunities. If you and others who use this site bring people from your own community to the site you can use it as your own discussion and planning forum and begin to apply the ideas where you are located.
