East
Dakota Educational Cooperative's High Impact Program
is designed to meet the needs of area youth whose
behavior has created a need for an alternative
placement. The High Impact program, with a staff-to-student
ratio that is higher than most public schools,
provides greater opportunities for trained staff
to teach and model appropriate school¬based
behaviors. In addition to assisting students in
focusing on problem solving, goal setting and positive
social skills, certified academic staff teach a
core curriculum and a variety of electives. Ultimately,
the goal of the High Impact program is to prepare
each student for a more successful experience when
they return to their home school and community.
