A K-12 school on a reservation received Therapeutic Residential Model funding but faced significant systemic issues. Funding was terminated due to implementation challenges, making the site a control group for future research.

Area of Science:

  • Educational psychology
  • School system reform
  • Indigenous education

Background:

  • A K-12 school on a reservation, serving over 1,000 students, received Therapeutic Residential Model funding.
  • Initial evaluations revealed substantial challenges in the school's structure and overall functioning.
  • Less than 15% of students utilized dormitory services during the school week.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of implementing a Therapeutic Residential Model at a K-12 school.
  • To assess the impact of systemic instability and leadership changes on program implementation.
  • To establish a baseline understanding of the school's environment before potential intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive evaluation of the school's structure and functioning was conducted.

  • Data were collected throughout the school year to monitor implementation progress.
  • The site was designated as a naturally occurring control or minimal treatment site due to lack of substantial program implementation.

    • Main Results:

    • Despite some successes like reading program implementation and community engagement, systemic instability and leadership changes hindered progress.
    • The feasibility of the original Therapeutic Residential Model proposal was deemed questionable.
    • Significant overhaul of the school's system and culture was deemed necessary for any meaningful change.

    Conclusions:

    • The Therapeutic Residential Model funding was terminated due to the inability to implement the program as planned.
    • The school required fundamental systemic and cultural changes before therapeutic residential models could be effective.
    • The gathered data served as valuable information representing a control site for future research.
