A Plan for Success...

The CEP Program is based on the belief that students can improve their academic performance and behavior if given the time, opportunity, tools, structure and encouragement they need. Academic and behavioral progress are accomplished and monitored through each student's individual plan for success. In fact, CEP guarantees that all students will make measurable improvements in academic achievement, behavior, attendance and drop out rates. Most get back on track to graduate. Here's how the plan works...


Orientation: CEP evaluates incoming students to determine their current math and reading skills and to discuss what has triggered inappropriate behavior in the past. From this process we develop an individualized academic and behavioral plan to direct self-paced learning and to guide appropriate behavior. Parents attend a Parent/Student Orientation offered in the first week of referral to the program.


Academics: Academic achievement levels among CEP students vary widely. With that in mind, all academic programs are provided in competency-based and self-paced learning formats designed to accelerate learning, grade promotion, and course credits earned.
CEP aligns its curriculum with each school district's curriculum frameworks. In all of its partnerships, the CEP curriculum includes the essential knowledge and skills required by most middle or high school courses, with an added emphasis on those areas measured by basic skills tests. CEP's goal is to return students to their district schools on track to graduate with their peers.


Behavior Management: The CEP incentive-based discipline management system rewards students for behavior and attendance improvements. CEP's goal is to return better-behaved students to their district schools. Students can accumulate points and learn to work as a team member to earn incentives. Our social/life skills program includes a focus on improving teamwork, anger management and conflict resolution.


Behavior specialists, counselors, truancy officers, probation officers and security personnel are also on hand to assist with attendance, behavior and other issues that arise for students and families.
