  17. Shift in our service model • We seek to understand the OSY’s goals and dreams • We lay aside our “agenda” for the OSY and work MEP services into the OSY’s agenda; OSYs are partners rather than a students • Services are driven by the OSY, not the service provider • We seek to develop the potential the OSY already possesses • Establishing trust is top priority • The OSY “takes charge” of their future – we assist • We look at OSY instruction in terms of lifelong gain instead of short term gains • We see the GED or HSED completion as a small step in the OSY’s life plan, rather than the end goal
