Historically, Ombudsman has an 85 percent success rate for the students that we serve. What’s amazing about that is that 100 percent of the students that are referred to Ombudsman were at risk of dropping out or had dropped out of school. Our success is defined as students are able to remain in the program to earn credit toward a high school diploma. They meet their goals with us and are able to successfully return back to their home school or they graduate from high school. Ombudsman demonstrates its success through the data that we collect on a regular basis. We’re able to demonstrate that students can improve their attendance in our programs, can demonstrate that students are successful and can transition back to their school district closer to or on their grade level. We can demonstrate that student graduation rates improve. We do diagnostic testing when students enter our program so that we are then able to show their academic growth. And these tests are administered at the entrance and exit for each student and it allows to us demonstrate how many grade levels of growth or how many standard measures they can increase during the time that they’re in our program.
Students come to us for many different reasons. Some students are behind on credits, some are have missed too much class and some have adult responsibilities that keep them from attending classes during the day. For example, for students who have jobs, Ombudsman’s flexible schedules give them a better option for finishing their education while servicing and helping their families.
Ombudsman Educational Services operates charter schools in addition to its school district partnership programs. Ombudsman currently operates charter schools in Arizona for students who are at risk of dropping out of school, who need additional credits or who need a shorter school day than public schools offer. Students can enroll in an Ombudsman Charter School at any time and earn their high school diploma in a personalized, safe, alternative environment. Charter schools are funded by the state and students attend free of charge. The Ombudsman Charter School program is aligned to state standards, ensuring that students learn and master the necessary skills and content knowledge they need to graduate. And, like other Ombudsman programs, Ombudsman Charter Schools offer students a flexible schedule, personalized instruction and computer-assisted learning that allows them to work at their own pace in a small learning environment.
We believe every student can succeed—our non-confrontational approach, the Glasser theory that we use, reality therapy that we use with the students, and just not giving up. If you’ve tried 53 things, maybe the 54th thing will be positive and have a good outcome. We just never give up. We’re tenacious, and we don’t have the word can’t in our vocabulary.
March 1989 www.amazon.com Watch the full lecture: thefilmarchived.blogspot.com Noam Chomsky is an Institute Professor and professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. freegovreports.com The goal of education, Chomsky argues, is to produce free human beings whose values are not accumulation and domination, but rather free association on terms of equality. Closing of the American Mind was published in 1987, five years after Bloom published an essay in The National Review about the failure of universities to serve the needs of students. With the encouragement of Saul Bellow, his colleague at the University of Chicago, he expanded his thoughts into a book “about a life, I’ve led” that critically reflected on the current state of higher education in American universities. His friends and admirers imagined the work would be a modest success, as did Bloom, who recognized his publishers modest advance to complete the project as a lack of sales confidence. Yet on the momentum of strong initial reviews, including one by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt in the New York Times and an op-ed piece by syndicated conservative commentator George Will entitled “A How-To Book for the Independent” it became an unexpected best seller, eventually selling close to half a million copies in hardback and remaining at number one on the New York Times Non-fiction Best Seller list for four months.
