Effectiveness of Campus Mentors, an Alternative School-University Partnership
Wasburn-Moses, Leah; Noltemeyer, Amity
Preventing School Failure, v62 n3 p190-197 2018
Finding new ways to serve youth at risk is critical to the field of education. A model alternative school-university partnership was created in concert with youth-mentoring evidence-based practices. The current study evaluates student outcomes from the program's first six years. Data on students' grades, credits earned, and behavior are reported. Analyses reveal significant improvements in grade-point average and credits earned by program-participating students. Significant improvements in disciplinary incidents are also noted, but are not consistent across all analyses. Results suggest that the program has promise for improving outcomes for youth at risk. Limitations and future directions are presented.
