Developing Comprehensive Student Services Systems in Secondary Schools (MDS-1092)
Z. Burac-Matias, C. Maddy-Bernstein
Educators in school districts across the country have expressed a
need for a help in developing a comprehensive student services system. This
publication has been developed in response to that need. It serves as
follow-up to a paper developed by the National Center's Office of Student
Services (OSS) that offered a rationale and a model for a comprehensive
student services system (Student services: Achieving success for all
secondary students.) In the text, the reader will find a description of the
services high schools should provide under such a system. This paper also
focuses on the common features of a comprehensive student services delivery
system and provides a description of three initiatives. The final section
offers a guide to developing a comprehensive student services system.
Each of the sections in this publication contains questions and
activities that will help school districts in the process of developing or
redesigning their student services system. Because each school system is
unique, specific solutions are not offered, but rather simple, practical
steps educators can use to build a system to meet their school's unique
needs are suggested. This publication is designed for use in conjunction
with the OSS BRIEF, Improving Student Services in Secondary Schools,
included in Appendix A.
