Did you even warn the School District of Philadelphia that your program is geared towards younger children and that having it become part of a curriculum for High School students requires reworking, restructuring, and redirecting your entire program. The merits of your program I am sure are tenable for younger children, but it seems as though either you or the school district were seriously misinformed before this program was purchased and implemented.
To further explain your concern, you can use the high school program along with the RTI paradigm by using it in a pull out situation with the 14 week pullout; the counselors can do this for at risk students, it can be used as an academy for students who are highly at risk and need a daily program, it can be used in self contained or resource special ed programs and it can be used as an intensive intervention with corrections students or kids in alternative placements. It is easy to use and very effective. Come to Denver some time and you can see all the uses of the program with high school students. and the beauty of it is that it is just as effective with extreme kids as it is with normal kids; they just don't need as much of it! We are just putting it in to the country of Japan and it is also used in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland and Russia! It works!
Our program is for all ages and we started norming it on violent, aggressive gang members in St. Louis; after that, we moved to the middle and then elementary school students. I regularly teach the program at our corrections facility and the kids are appreciating it and learning important skills that they have not had. Look at it more carefully and you will see!
In Pakistan equivalent degree is MBBS (bachelors of medicine and bachelors of surgery). MBBS is awarded as the basic medical qualification after completing five years of study.
