INTEGRITY EDUCATIONAL CENTER

TARGET POPULATION:
A: EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM CONTINUED
Historically a large proportion of students who have dropped out of school or has been
expelled have problems such as criminal records, substance abuse problems, deficiencies in life skills
as well as being teenage parents. Research suggest that a solution to this problem is to implement
interventions that deal with the overarching problems of students who have not completed high school.
Integrity Educational Center will be a viable force in the community because its education program aims
to:
0
Li Provide career guidance and job training
O Provide Individual Learning Plans for students & behavioral health services to students and
families
u Hold student interest in education, by offering a project based- technology curriculum
Reduce the drop out rate by offering career technical education
ci Small class sizes (15:1 teacher to student ratio) to offer more support from the instructor
O A reduced bell schedule conducive to students in an alternative education setting
u Common planning time for teachers to collaborate
Estimates by the US Census Bureau stipulate that by 2050 the United States will reach
approximately 420 million in population. With this growth in population, competition for job training
and education will become critical. It is for this reason that I E C will constantly review and insure
that its job training certification programs are marketable in the near future. [EC will review
curriculum and technology mechanism to ensure maximum potential to its students. The Department
of labor has indicated that there will be a huge gap between the haves and the have not's based on
education such that, by the year 2015, the estimated earnings of someone without a high school
diploma, or job training will decrease earning capacity substantially.
