Academics
The curriculum at Oregon Outreach, Inc. (OOI) schools is individualized, attuned to the learning style and academic level of each individual student. OOI was awarded a grant which enabled two staff members to go to Kansas City, Missouri where they received "train the trainer" instruction in utilizing the DeLaSalle model for alternative school curriculum. DeLaSalle is a school that has been designated a Blue Ribbon School by the US Department of Education for its excellence in developing programs to serve at-risk youth and school dropouts.
Students receive "levels" testing upon enrolling into an OOI program. From these tests the academic level and learning style of the student is discerned. Curriculum material is selected by the instructor, then the student selects the precise material to be utilized in earning credit. A contract is devised in which the student is clearly informed of the work and level of completion that are necessary in order to earn credit toward graduation. Contracts must be completed at a rate of 80% accuracy in order to receive credit for the work. Students who do not attain 80% accuracy must repeat the work.
The curriculum at all Oregon Outreach Schools is aligned with the State of Oregon Content Standard.
* Only contracts assigned by a teacher can be used for credit.
