SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

"He went from low attendance and lack of motivation to a young man who is responsible, reliable and takes initiative in all of his work." - History Teacher

"He is the single most improved student I've had this year. I recommend him for the honors track next year, something that I never would have done six months ago. He is truly amazing." - Geometry Teacher

Independent evaluators report that SEE increases young people's personal, academic and professional skills. [For a full list, click on skills.] One of the most interesting findings was from school personnel who reported a number of positive changes in students since they began participating in SEE. These include:

• Individual Skills: self confidence/awareness, trying new things/positive risk taking, time management/organization, overall enthusiasm and happiness, and controlling behavior and avoiding discipline problems.
• Interpersonal Skills: demonstrating leadership, working on a team, responsibility at school, relationship with peers, respecting self/others, using appropriate means to get attention/help.
• Academic Skills: focus and follow through on assignments, paying attention and listening in class, following instructions, demonstrating interest in school work, and performing academically.
