The project will have two main
components: (1) The implementation of a model, named «The Link Crew High School Orientation and Transition Model,» designed to create a shared experience for freshmen, upperclassmen, and staff,
where a group of upperclassmen will serve as mentors and tour guides to help the freshmen understand how to be successful at the high school level; and (2) an overhaul of the In - School Suspension program (ISS) to transform ISS from a traditional punitive intervention to a non-punitive, strengths - based,
educational setting based on Ross Greene's «Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS).»
