Abstract	Youth returning to traditional school settings from non-traditional settings, such as alternative schools, face significant barriers to successful transition. After conducting several student focus groups with students at West40--a center in Illinois that supports students who are considered "at risk" for dropping out or have been suspended or expelled--in addition to a literature review, the Region 9 Comprehensive Center Advisory Board gained perspective on effective practices to help students feel successful and supported. Alternative settings by design, as evidenced by West40 student experiences, offer strategies that merit consideration in traditional settings. Youth-serving adults in traditional school settings can consider the four recommendations presented in this report to better support students who are transitioning from an alternative school or are at-risk of dropping out of their traditional school: (1) Provide one significant adult for each student; (2) Improve communication with and for students; (3) Re-evaluate punitive disciplinary measures; and (4) Create positive learning environments.
