  1. Essentialism Mark Lane Missy Mirus Ann Hardin

  2. Metro Early College High School(Missy Mirus)Columbus, OH • Metro is STEM focused - Science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Metro Early College High School meets all of the academic needs for each student while focusing on the student’s understanding of STEM fields.

  3. What exactly is Metro? • This school is a small and intellectually vibrant learning community open to students in Franklin County. Franklin county is located in Columbus, Ohio. Metro Early College High School is intended to provide students who want a personalized and extraordinary learning experience that prepares them for a connected world where math, science and technology are crucially important. Every Metro student engages in a personally relevant and academically challenging curriculum within a safe and trusting environment.

  4. Essentialism Practiced • Student experiences go beyond a traditional internship and include demonstrations of problem solving and critical thinking in organization with the learning lab. While the core prep focus on capacity building, the College Access focuses on practical experiences, skill development, social maturity, critical thinking, and responsibility. It is in the exploratory phase that the Metro School will demonstrate the possibility and value of open source approach to education.

  5. How I fit into the Metro School • I fit this school because I believe there needs to be a disciplined and a systematic approach to education and meeting the needs of children. I feel it’s important to involve the community and recognize student and teacher achievement. This school also relates to my teaching style because it assess in numerous ways. I think this school would be wonderful for a variety of academic driven students. • www.themetroschool.org

  6. Centennial Learning CenterPortland, OR(Mark Lane) • The Mission • The Centennial Learning Center is an alternative school dedicated to helping students to discover their passions and develop the strong academic and life skills required for healthy, vibrant lives of learning, and positive participation in the community.

  7. Essentialism Practiced • Help students "learn to use their minds well" • Emphasize depth over breadth • Apply goals to all students • Personalize teaching and learning

  8. Centennial Learning Center • High School Program is designed to be small class sizes. • Students attend six classes per day including language arts math science social studies world language and electives. • Bored with the Basics? • Typical Electives include • hiking, gardening, P.E. field sports, Tai Chi, ceramics, portrait painting, technology, animation, film study, talk show

  9. Why Do I fit in Centennial • I love the one on one attention that they describe. • The idea of viewing the school as a community • Finding realistic goals and expectations for all students. • Teaching decency and trust amongst students and faculty • And there is good fishing in Portland Oregon! • http://www.centennial.k12.or.us/schools/clc/

  10. Cobblestone School New York(Ann Hardin) • Cobblestone School is an independent, nonsectarian, elementary Essential School, located in Rochester, New York. The school offers a full-day program and after-school care for children ages 4 through 12 years, Pre-K through Sixth Grade. Cobblestone is an Affiliate of the Coalition of Essential Schools.

  11. Essentialism Practiced • Cobblestone school recognizes that all children develop at different rates and have different learning styles. In order for students to make sense of the world a combination of real-life experiences (planning group activities and making snacks, for example), theme-based explorations, discovery through math manipulative activities and group discussions of strategies and thinking are used. The approach is to go with a child’s natural curiosity.

  12. Why do I fit in this school • I think this school fits me because students learn at different rates and they should be assessed upon their own growth and not based on what others are doing. Students should also be exposed to real life situations since I believe that a goal of a teacher is to provide our students with skills to help them become responsible citizens. Also, a child’s natural interests are considered. • www.cobblestone.org

  13. The Ten Common Principles of The Coalition of Essentialist Schools Bond our choices together.

  14. 10 Common Principles of a CES • Help students "learn to use their minds well" • Emphasize depth over breadth • Apply goals to all students • Personalize teaching and learning • Embrace the metaphor "student as worker" • Require students to demonstrate mastery through exhibition • Stress unanxious expectation, trust and decency • Consider teachers as generalists with a commitment to the entire school • Develop a building and financial plan that reflect CES principles • Model democratic and equitable practices
