| Abstract: | This three-phase, two-method qualitative study explored and identified policies, programs, and practices that school-site administrators perceived as most effective in reengaging at-risk students emotionally, behaviorally, and cognitively at 10 California Model Continuation High Schools (MCHS). Eccles' expectancy-value theoretical framework was used to gain insight on effective school context that supported at-risk students' developmentally appropriate expectancy for success and task-value beliefs towards graduation. Results indicated that MCHS had significant policies, programs, and practices that transformed disengaged at-risk students into graduates by breaking down the barriers of students' prior negative experiences and formed new expectancy and task-value beliefs through positive learning opportunities. |
