FURTHER DESCRIPTION ON NCIES The New Century International Elementary School is a school that is more than unique, it is innovative and creative. Just as the military base close by, NCIES sets the highest of standards for it’s students and their futures. Each grade level focuses on a certain continent in the world and is taught by teachers from those countries. Diversity and inclusion is more than relevant in this school, not only with the presence of the foreign instructors, but with the opportunity to learn Mandarin Chinese (New Century International Elementary School, ). The culturally relevant pedagogies mentioned in Ladson-Billings, “But That’s Just Good Teaching! The Case for Culturally Relevant Pedagogy,” of academic success and cultural competency are present at this school. NCIES set’s their students up for success by utilizing the latest technology in the classroom such as interactive whiteboard, cameras, and internet access and well as learning communities to immerge students together to make academic and personal decisions in their education ((New Century International Elementary School, ). In addition, hallways are lined with information from other cultures and continents and foreign language is strongly encouraged in the classroom and out.

LET’S TALK ABOUT NCIES AND CREATIVITY From watching videos from the 21 st Century Learning Exemplar Program on NCIES, it is evident that the push for creativity exists at this school and is strongly encouraged. A collage of photos taken from the artwork by the students around the school and the hands on interaction between the instructors and students, show how much NCIES values its students and fostering creativity in the classroom.

FURTHER DESCRIPTIONS ON MNTHS As a bold approach to education, the school was initially founded to serve underprivileged youth in the community. The school teaches students to be prepared for the academic and professional world through multiple modalities of technology. According to the article on the school, from beginning of freshman year to graduation, a student participates in about 200 projects and while adhering to the 40 hours of community service policy. Clearly, the students are being successful as 100% of graduates are accepted to college On the 21 st Century Learning Exemplar Program site staring MNTHS, there are a couple of Ladson-Billings’ pedagogies active in this school. Academic success and critical consciousness are the two that are most prevalent. With such high standards for students, teachers and parents, all parties can expect that by putting forth effort in school work, projects, and volunteer hours, academic success can be achieved. Critical consciousness is also recognized by having these students technologically and professional prepared to enter the working world and suffice in a working setting using their skills learned from MNTHS.

LET’S TALK ABOUT MNTHS AND CREATIVITY On the 21 st Century Learning Exemplar Program site, with MNTHS as the main highlight, the principal explains that in the effort of creativity and work ethic, teachers meet every Monday for two hour sessions regarding lessons, extra curricular, and interdisciplinary studies, as well as better ways to teach their students.
