Outreach Involvement Center Alternative Education
|
{Lisa M. Smith-Hicks, Executive Director and Student Terry Wilson} Terry started with Outreach Involvement Center September 2015 as a 10th grader from Baltimore MD. who was a student at Huguenot High School who had gotten expelled for fighting. Terry is a pleasant young man who loves to make people laugh. A bright young man determined that he would complete high school.
The O.I.C. Alternative Education Program is designed to provide suspended/expelled students a curriculum program to keep them on track academically. We provide an opportunity to successfully transition back into the student's home school district or into another alternate educational setting.
Suspensions are often perceived by students as an opportunity to stay home, sleep late, and often get into trouble. This time alone serves to create negative attitudes towards school and causes students already having trouble keeping up academically to miss even more class time.
On line instruction and group support are both available, and the on-line credit recovery curriculum is customized to pick up where the student left off in school, keeping them on track. In addition to scholastic assistance, each student is provided counseling services, as behavioral issues are often related to suspension or expulsion from school.
Who can enroll?
Once a student has been expelled, dropped out he/she may be referred to the program by their home district, counselor, probation officer or family. Youth who are on probation and who have aged out of the traditional school setting are also eligible to receive services. Services are available for students in both general and special education in middle and high school.
Staff include: PhD. in Psychology, Master Social Worker, AP, Licensed Special Education Instructors, program managers, QMHP and life learning coaches. All O.I.C. staff have completed Crisis Wave Training, and are CPR certified.
