LOS ANGELES EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP (LAEP) IS REQUESTING SUPPORT FOR A NEW VISTA PROJECT PLACING VISTA MEMBERS AT ESTEBAN E. TORRES HIGH SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY PATHWAYS PUBLIC SERVICE ACADEMY, GRIFFITH MIDDLE SCHOOL, FORD BOULEVARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BELVEDERE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BELVEDERE MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE DIEGO RIVERA LEARNING COMPLEX, AND AT LAEP HEADQUARTERS. THE TEAM OF 10 VISTA MEMBERS WILL WORK TO BUILD A K-12 SUCCESS PROJECT THAT FACILITATES THE TRANSITIONS THAT STUDENTS FACE IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM WITHIN A FEEDER PATTERN IN EAST LOS ANGELES AND TWO HIGH SCHOOLS IN SOUTH LOS ANGELES. LAEP WILL ORIENT VISTA SUPPORT TOWARD ADDRESSING STUDENT EDUCATIONAL AND BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES IN LOW-ACHIEVING SCHOOLS. STUDIES SHOW THAT THE TRANSITIONS THAT STUDENTS FACE ? STARTING PRESCHOOL OR KINDERGARTEN, TRANSITIONING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, THEN HIGH SCHOOL? ARE CRITICAL MOMENTS THAT DETERMINE FUTURE EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT AND ECONOMIC ADVANCEMENT. THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW VISTA MEMBERS TO CREATE STRONGER TRANSITION PROGRAMS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO IMPROVING OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN FROM HIGH POVERTY COMMUNITIES. WHEN STUDENTS HAVE A GOOD TRANSITION TO A NEW SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT, THEY ARE MORE ACADEMICALLY ENGAGED AND READY TO EFFECTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN LEARNING ACTIVITIES.
