6. Vocational Training or Apprenticeship Ready 2-4 Yr College or University Ready Responsible Citizens Workforce Ready Lifelong Learners Partnerships Yet, we have HB 212 ! Building from the foundation of HB 212 Prepared High School Graduates Students Educators Government Putting the Puzzle Together Technology Parents Business

7. We have a dream. …access…outcomes… Student Success

8. Mario Both want to be an Engineer Suzie Rural School No AP Teachers/Courses Access Limited Coursework and Relevance? What is a Mechanical Engineer? Urban School AP Teachers/Courses Engineering Clubs Relevance Special Seminars Role Models How do we provide opportunity for equity in access and outcome?

9. The Approach • Examined System ….in context of its environment…..first time ! • Stand in the future….. ….as past-free as possible…no finger pointing • Team of education and business professionals • Input from diverse set stakeholders • It’s about student success • It takes innovation and accountability from all of us

15. Stakeholders want the high school system to be student-focused Design Specifications • Challenged and engaged students • Meeting individualized needs of students • Relevance thru project-based learning • Flexibility and choice …..class, pace and schedule

16. They specify critical aspects of the high school system Design Specifications • Lifelong learning skills • Use of modern technologies and multiple resources. • High quality teachers • Respect and build on our cultures • Safe, secure, cost-effective facilities • Authentic assessments of student proficiency..

17. Must look at constraints and barriers Student Success Teacher and Classroom School and District Policy Statute

18. How will we know this is an improvement?What will we measure? for example.... • Standard Test Scores (disaggregated) • Attendance (Students and Teachers) • Internships/Jobs and Alignment to Career Pathways • Parent and Business Involvement in Schools • Graduation Rates (General and Cohort) • Students enrolled in alternative delivery methods • Students enrolled in Remedial Courses in College

19. Now all we have to do is connect the dots….right? High School Redesign Team

20. Strategic Priorities Target Elements Collaborative Regional Networks Personalized Program of Study Strategic Business Partnerships Student Success Innovation Accountability Technology Integration Schedule Flexibility Policy & Statutes

21. School to World …a strategic business partnership… example “Curriculum is often irrelevant for those without a destination in mind.” Statewide Event and Partnership
