About Us
Tulsa Resource and Adolescent Intervention Center of Excellence (TRAICE)
2010-Present
Welcome to TRAICE Academy!
TRAICE Academy provides an opportunity for our students to get back on track with their educational endeavors. Our hope is that students view this assignment as a chance to catch up academically and learn how to make positive and forward-thinking choices.
We know that parents, guardians, and significant adult role models are keys to student success - by support, guidance, and the belief that adolescents can change and deserve another chance.
The guidelines in this handbook can help students and families understand the expectations for a successful experience at TRAICE. After nine to eighteen weeks at TRAICE, we want our students to be able to return to a traditional site with a renewed sense of motivation about education and a positive attitude as well as the skills to be successful going forward.
Sincerely,
TRAICE Academy, a middle and high school, is part of the alternative school network in Tulsa Public Schools. We are focused on creating an environment where students learn behavior strategies, develop social skills and thrive academically through many forms of instruction.
At TRAICE, we see each student as an individual with his or her own needs and learning style. We develop lifelong learners by using differentiated instruction in our classrooms and curriculum that is based on student needs, interests, and real-life situations.
Our staff places a strong emphasis on restorative practices in order to work with students to develop their own social-emotional knowledge and awareness. We are faithfully dedicated to the success of each student. Each member of the faculty is selected because of their expertise and training in teaching non-traditional student learners.
