We would like to invite you to watch our next live television webcast of "Solutions to the Dropout Crisis".
Dr. Larry Allen, Dean of Clemson University's College of Health, Education, and Human Development, provides an overview of community-based education, stressing shared ownership of the education and success of our young people across all sectors of every community. This framework will provide you with a new way of looking at education—which does not stop, nor should it stop, when students leave the school building each day.
1. Learn what community-based education is.
2. Find out how you can improve your community's collaborative efforts in education.
Be sure to tune in on Wednesday, April 23rd!

No school can be a great school — and ultimately prepare all students for success — if it is not first a safe school. Creating and maintaining such schools is both challenging and complex. Even though national rates of school violence have decreased overall,too many schools are still struggling to create the nurturing, positive, and safe environments that we know are needed to boost student achievement and success. No student or adult should feel unsafe or unable to focus in school, yet this is too often a reality. Simply relying on suspensions and expulsions, however, is not the answer to creating a safe and productive school environment. Unfortunately, a significant number of students are removed from class each year — even for minor infractions of school rules — due to exclusionary discipline practices, which disproportionately impact students of color and students with disabilities.
NAEA is a volunteer organization dedicated to information
sharing and professional development, best practice, public policy, and advocacy for alternative learning and teaching. Created in 2002 through the efforts of several officers from the original Safe Schools Coalition (SSC), the Association has sponsored an annual conference on alternative education for the past several years. When the Safe Schools Coalition decided to disband, its officers were determined to continue the much needed work that had been started and created a national professional association dedicated to alternative educators and alternative education options.

"Our most socio-economically challenged, emotionally in need, and intellectually starved students deserve the best schools, teachers, and support services. When provided with a world class education, these students become self-sufficient, confident, and motivated life-long learners. They turn despair to hope, create happiness from sadness, and mold failure into success. Outspoken and relentless advocacy has been and will always be my mission in support of each of our heroic students."
Dr. Sam Redding
"You need to change the culture and chemistry of the school so that everyday everyone in that school is very cognizant of what they are doing, what is working, what isn't working and they are striving to improve."
