High School Redesign Project February 2nd and 3rd PPM
Please remember that… • the High School Redesign Project is much more about instruction than construction: • the High School Redesign Project and the Center Grove Construction Projects are related but not synonymous • the High School Redesign Project and SLC’s are not synonymous, and that SLC’s are only one part of the redesign plan • the High School Redesign Project involves personalizing CGHS in three ways and emphasizing three things.
Personalize through: • Implementing SLC’s • Aren’t • Are • Differentiating Advisory • Grades 9 and 10 • Grades 11 and 12 • Embracing the “New” 3 R’s • Relationships • Relevance • Rigor
Advisory: • Grades 9 and10: focus on the transition to high school • Grades 11 and 12: focus on the transition to post-secondary
3 R’s: Relationships, Relevance, Rigor • “When teachers have strong, trusting relationships with their students, [students] work harder and achieve more.” • “The more students understand how what they are learning is relevant to them, to their community, or to the world at large; the more motivated they will be to learn.” • “Relationships and relevance make rigor possible.” http://preilly.wordpress.com/2008/06/05/the-three-rs/
Emphasize: • Student Learning: focus on “authentic engagement,” which is characterized by high student attention and commitment • College Readiness: students are “ready to enroll and succeed—without remediation—in a credit-bearing course at a two-year or four -year institution, trade school, or technical school” • Career Readiness: focus on 21st Century Skills, which are “the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life in the 21st century”
Final Thoughts: Regardless of how the Center Grove Construction Projects referendum votes turn out or whether we can’t fully implement SLC’s should the High School Base Project fail, we will redesign CGHS!
