Engagement

This proposal advocates for a holistic approach to education, emphasizing individual success plans and capstone experiences for every student. It also focuses on best intervention practices, expanded educational range, and external partnerships to enhance student support and engagement. The curriculum includes core subjects and exploratory electives, while aligning with high school standards. The plan encompasses assessment strategies like CAPT and end-of-course exams, providing alternatives for student success. Implementation involves state adoption, pilot programs, and implications for STEM education and support structures.

  1. Engagement • Provide an Individual Success Plan for Every Student • Require a Capstone Experience for Every Student • Implement Best Intervention Practices • Increase Significance of Middle Schools in Secondary School Reform • Place Greater Attention on an Expanded Educational Range - Grades 6-14 • Expand External Partnerships

  2. Middle School (Grades 6-8) - Required 6-12 Student Success Plans for every student -“Early Warning” and student support systems, 6-12 -Course Offerings in English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, Art, Music, Physical Education, Technology, Health, and Exploratory Electives that may include World Language. -Creation of model curricula Language Arts linked to high school English/Language Arts 1 and 2, Algebra I (same as high school), Scientific Inquiry and Experimentation, -Creation of joint common professional development modules for teachers in Grades 6-10 -Completion of 8th Grade Portfolio or Demonstration Project

  3. Assessment • CAPT still in place (10th grade) (reach proficiency or alternative course/test), revised in 2014? • 5 end of course exams (3 typically in 10th grade), Eng 2, Alg1, Geom, Bio, US History • State written, locally scored w/training • Count as at least 20% course grade, 70% to pass. • Retakes/CAPT/SAT scores, college courses, etc.. alternatives to passing exams • 1% may be IEPed out.

  4. Implementation • Adopted by State Bd Ed Oct 2, needs to go before Legislature • State funds to develop training, supports, curriculum, exams • 25 systems to pilot now • Class of 2017 (current 4th graders)

  5. NHPS Implications • More STEM required (1 more science, 1 more math, more tech), possible need for labs, materials, teachers • “double testing” in 10th grade • Support for capstone, student plans, different courses needs to be prepared for in middle and high school
