About the Guest
Devon Green graduated from Loyola Marymount University in Westchester, CA with a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies in 2004. She also received a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Loyola. As a teacher, her goal is to inspire her student's to recognize their strengths, set goals for themselves, and actively work toward reaching their desired outcomes. She struggled with her own eating disorder throughout her adolescence, but after receiving inpatient care in 2001, she has maintained her recovery. Her experience provides her with the insights necessary to guide others experiencing problems with addiction.
Can Sober High Schools Be A Model for Education?
Devon explained exactly how Sober High Schools can be a unique and important model for education and learning. She stressed the fact that it differs from traditional senior high schools in a remarkable number of ways. Children who have enrolled in Sober High School have made a serious commitment to becoming and staying sober, including being willing to take a drug test at any time. However, Sober High School should not be considered one more version of a residential healing school. Although it is arranged like a typical high school, it has a lot of other components to assist all aspects of a youngster's life, including treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, special training in life skills, and in-depth courses in essential topics like health and nutrition.
Generally, students who come here arrive from some sort of counseling program related to substance abuse, psychological disorders, and addictive behaviors. The school's focus is on all types of recovery, instead of simply sobriety from alcoholic beverages.
Devon clarified the numerous considerations that entered into developing this brand-new education version. Sober High School has a day program while NewPort Academy provides a residential program. The school in Connecticut originated this brand-new education model. It designed a program that differed from those offered by various other recovery-oriented academic establishments in Connecticut. Now the Orange County college is modeling the one established in Connecticut. Presently, this education model is most appropriate for private schools as a result of huge budget cuts in public schools. The high school is not accredited in its own right, but it has a collaboration with an accredited high school. Sober High School hires credentialed teachers with school teaching experience and it hires licensed therapists who have worked with substance abuse cases.
Devon also commented on diverse other topics, including drug abuse fads, behavior administration, managing day pupils, managing instances of relapse, and managing learning disorders.
Final Thoughts
Toward the close of the interview, Devon discussed how Sober High Schools is a model for education for all type of schools, pointing out how both academic excellence and emotional well-being is important for all students regardless of the type of school they attend.
