dc.description.abstract | Special Secondary Education (SSE) in the Netherlands is far from reaching its full potential.
Outflow numbers are worrying and a recent government intervention meant to improve the situation did not have the desired effect. There is a need for youth interventions that could help SSE-youth reach their full potential. By looking at SSE-youth as impaired instead of disabled, this study examined how the Young Leaders (YL) youth intervention can best be implemented in SSE. This exploratory study made use of semi-structured interviews with SSE-teachers and YL-trainers (n = 16) by asking them: (1) what the added value of YL is to SSE; (2) What challenges need to be overcome; (3) And what changes need to be made in order to successfully implement YL in SSE. Conclusions of this study was that YL helped SSE-youth to reach their full potential and that YL can best be implemented when changes are made in consultation with specific schools due to the heterogeneous nature of SSE-youth. Future research should focus on which teaching methods would be most effective and should ideally include youth in their research population in order to provide a better fit with SSE-youth. | |
