  1. Follow The Child & Visioning High School Redesign September 10, 2007

  2. NH’s Follow The Child Initiative ~ Commissioner Lyonel Tracy’s initiative to follow the • personal, • social, • physical and • academic needs of each NH student, pre-K through College.

  3. Underlying Principles of New Hampshire’s Vision of HS Redesign • Personalization • High Standards • Engagement & Active Learning • Outcomes ~ Follow The Child • Empowered Educators • Choices and Flexibility for Where and When Learning occurs

  4. Extended Learning Opportunities • A voluntary section of the State School Approval Rules • Allows students to earn credit towards graduation outside of traditional classrooms • Requires Qualified Educator Oversight

  5. Time Flexibility The school approval rules also contain a requirement that all high school courses be measured by the mastery of course level competencies as a means to earn credit towards graduation. This rule will allow schools and students to be more flexible with time regarding the completion of these courses. This, in turn, will allow for the use of after school, out of school, and summer school programs and credit recovery efforts to support credit attainment for struggling students.

  6. School Improvement Efforts The DOE is providing a variety of supports to schools in need of improvement, using both federal, state, and private resources, that will assist schools to implement ideas and strategies discussed in the High School Vision document. For example: • NH School Principals Network & Conferences • Transition Community of Practice • Statewide Literacy and Numeracy Plans • A cadre of school improvement coaches in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been contracted to provide direct, on-site assistance through this program. • CACES Competency Assessment Network • Pilot to support school districts in the use of Follow The Child Principles, ELOs, & Competency Assessment in alternative settings, including NHDOE, PlusTime NH, CACES
