This presentation will help alternative education schools build school culture through highlighted programs at Calla High School such as athletics, PBIS, yearbook, leadership, prom, a school garden, clubs, SEL support, CTE and much more. These added programs help give our alternative education students a traditional high school experience while in our small school setting. The presenter will help others to learn how to get these programs started on their site and how to keep them successfully functioning over the years despite the barriers we all face in alternative education.
We will present our Directed Studies (DS) class that we offer at our site: Calla High School. Directed Studies is a homeroom class that students enter immediately upon their start at CHS. Students are assigned a DS teacher at orientation and remain with that teacher their entire time at Calla. This teacher serves as a mentor and a safe space for our students. Students track their graduation requirements with their DS teacher, complete their class schedule choices every 6 weeks, do all state/standardized testing, after high school planning and complete their SEL BASE modules each block.
This dynamic learning strand explores the unique challenges faced by fatherless boys in continuation schools and equips educators with strategies to foster their success. Participants will delve into effective mentoring models that inspire and guide at-promise males, practical life skills development tailored to their needs, and innovative approaches to building strong community partnerships. By addressing the root causes of the fatherless male epidemic, attendees will discover actionable solutions to empower these young men and transform their futures. Learn how the power of mentoring can serve as a cornerstone in creating a supportive system that nurtures resilience, purpose, and achievement.

In a recent Harvard study, 58% of participants aged 18-25 reported that they lacked "meaning or purpose" in their lives. Consider this interactive workshop as a remedy. Join in as we dive into the power of purpose-driven learning, exploring practical strategies to help students connect with their values, interests, and future aspirations. Attendees learn about the PRICE of finding your “why” (Purpose, Routine, Inspiration, Confidence, and Education) and all will leave with a guide to support students in identifying pathways to finding purpose in their lives (and maybe even your own!) to flourish into their most positive and productive selves.
