Classroom 2 Career has been a great way for teachers, administrators and parents/students to collaborate about a student's future goals. This program has allowed everyone to better communicate about each students' goals.
Our focus on work-based learning opportunities, work-place simulations, and CTSO particpation lend great relevence to the work we do with our students. We need to keep succeeding in these areas because they provide real-life learning expereinces that are engaging and meaningful to students.
Elevating student voice in decision-making processes. Encouraging choice for students to demonstrate their learning. Providing time and space for teachers to collaborate and make improvements to their curriculum and instruction.
Some of the mot effective methods in our school are collaborative leadership and recognition of the strengths of students and teachers...as well as support staff.
grade level teaming to explore data, strong leadership with high expectations, involvement of students/staff in decision making have all played a part in building excellence...still much to be done though!
Creating space for teachers and staff to connect is most beneficial. This time allows for collaboration that can lead to projects and programs working together and allowing students to engage as well.
I think adding in programs such as AVID has had an impact. I also think that having those conversations between teachers about their best practices and giving each other ideas and how can those ideas work in a multitude of different classes to give kids consistency and different ways to learn the same material.
