WCOS Education Plan 2012/2013 - West Country Outreach School

Qualitative Data:
Convenience Sampling – representative of the population – Interviews.
Testimonials – Kelly & Matthew
“I stopped living at home when I was 16. I went through kinship care, foster care, and a group home before
giving up on the social work system. . . I got pregnant. I explained my situation, (and fear of failure) and for
the first time…I found a school where someone wanted me to succeed as badly as I did….It was easy enough
to disappoint myself, I‟d done that a hundred times. I needed to be treated like an adult instead of a child with
too many mistakes to fix and I‟ve found all of that at WCOS. I‟m 19 now and Matthew is 8 months old. Better
late than never, because this time, I know that I WILL graduate.”
