o   What structures of alternative educational programming play vital roles in successful programs?
o   How does online learning environments contribute to student development?

Restorative Practice - new field of study that has the potential to positively influence human behavior and strengthen civil society around the world; builds healthy communities, increases social capital, reduces the impact of crime, decreases antisocial behavior, repairs harm, and restores relationships.

Pedagogy - method and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept.]]> 2018-03-01 20:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237177656 Purpose of Research scott_kyper https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237177779 The purpose of this research is identify and further investigate what both positively and negatively contributes to alternative educational programs and student success. By taking a closer look at effects on students, the types of programming, and plausible outcomes for those students will not only provide clarity to current research and educational practices but also a framework moving forward in 21st Century classrooms.]]> 2018-03-01 20:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237177779 Significance of Research scott_kyper https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237177922 The studies suggest that high school students encounter social, relational, emotional, and/or academic growth when participating in alternative educational programming.  The research also suggests that by participating in experiences out of the classroom, the opportunities for students can be maximized and real-life applications and connections can be utilized for a seamless transition to specific outcomes.]]> 2018-03-01 20:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237177922 Literature Gaps scott_kyper https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237178045 While there is reputable and meaningful research that has and will continue to be conducted, research will need to move forward with a focus on alternative educational programs without students meeting the requirements of AEDY. In Pennsylvania, there are six stipulations/reasons that can place a student into alternative education, but what happens to the students who do not meet those requirements and still face academic, peer, and/or emotional discontent and failure.]]> 2018-03-01 20:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237178045 Next Steps/Future Direction of Research scott_kyper https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237178282 2018-03-01 20:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237178282 Literature Review Map scott_kyper https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237850550 2018-03-04 20:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/scott_kyper/yv5e8lu61mp7/wish/237850550
