Educational Programs That Work - 1995

Intercept, Project

Intercept, Project. A positive program for intervention and remedy of students at-risk of suspension, truancy, dropout, academic failure, and behavior problems. Approved by JDRP for students in grades 9-12 who are considered high risk due to chronic academic failure, disruptive behavior, truancy, suspension, and dropout. Also used successfully for students in grades 4 through 8.

Description The basic premise of Project Intercept training is to restructure a school's teaching philosophies and to provide more effective techniques to deal with the at-risk student. The Intercept program is highly individualized and goals for each individual school are developed in concert with the participants of the project. Teachers, counselors, and administrators are trained as a team to approach all problems that affect at-risk students.

Project Intercept is a two-part program: one-half theoretical, one-half process. The program consists of a one-week training by Intercept master trainers followed by week-long visits throughout the year for on-line critiquing and demonstration teaching. One of the goals is to develop turnkey trainers for maintenance of the program at the original training site with possible expansion of the program to other schools in the system.
