Abstract
Description
Quantum Leap was conceived in 1999 by Bennington College faculty member Susan Sgorbati and Daniel Michaelson as a response to the escalating problem of truancy in primary and secondary public schools, a problem nearing crisis levels nationwide. The program is designed as an alternative to the often punitive, and by and large unsuccessful, measures typically used to address truancy across the country. Quantum Leap believes that the same principles that enable Bennington College students to excel can also re-engage the most at-risk students in area elementary, middle, and high schools. The program's results bear out this belief: Since its inception, 90% of Quantum Leap students have reconnected with their educations and are enrolled in an accredited academic program.
