Abstract

This inventory was developed to serve as a working tool to help local education agencies to review existing policies and practices in six different areas that may be negatively affecting student performance, especially in grades 7-12. The six areas are: instruction, discipline, support services, attendance, student activities, and school/community relations. The inventory represents a direct response to school research, publications, and dialogue on the need to develop more positive learning environments for all students. The content of the inventory was developed under a grant from the Education Commission of the States allowing input from a thirteen member task force and 237 student dropouts enrolled in seven different alternative schools throughout Iowa.
