High School Renewal Prior to 2002  School-to-Career  Annenberg Challenge  Pilot Schools  High School Restructuring Task Force  Interventions

Institutionalizing High School Renewal (2002 – Present)  Established Office of High School Renewal and appointed Special Assistant to lead change effort  Developed SLC policy  Promoted workshop approach to literacy in all schools and Collaborative Coaching & Learning  Obtained School Committee approval of new small schools in existing facilities

BPS Then (2000)  12 large comprehensive high schools –Brighton High –Burke High –Charlestown High –East Boston High –English High –Hyde Park High –Madison Park High –Snowden International High –West Roxbury High –Dorchester High –Boston High –South Boston High  6 Pilot high schools –Boston Arts Academy –Fenway –New Mission –Boston Evening Academy –Health Careers Academy –Greater Egleston  3 Exam Schools –Boston Latin –Boston Latin Academy –O’Bryant

Lessons Learned  Small school development can be an effective strategy for improvement of large high schools.  Small learning communities can result in more personalization and improved instruction - if they are not layered onto a comprehensive school framework.  Administrators can have major impact by promoting and supporting literacy work.  Community involvement is an essential component of high school renewal.  Schools going through transformation need substantial technical assistance to build capacity.

Challenges  Accelerating the process of renewal - the pace of restructuring for some schools has been too slow!  Reducing available restructuring options to those that will make the greatest difference  Keeping momentum for change after initial restructuring - shift to more personalized approaches, encouraging stronger adult-adult, student-student, adult-student relationships, and improving academic achievement for all students

Challenges (cont.)  Identifying and developing interventions for over-age and other youth at risk of not graduating  Building community support and demand for high school renewal  Continuing the scale-up of teaching and learning for all students  Engaging more students in the reform effort  Aligning central office support and resources

Recommendations  All high school small learning communities will span grades 9-12, eliminating options for separate 9th grades  Seven new high schools will be created for start-up in September 2005  A new Policy for Ungraded High Schools

Reframing Organizations Artistry, Choice & Leadership Lee G. Bolman Terrance E Deal

Frames and Reframing  A frame is a set of ideas or assumptions you carry in your head.  Frames help you understand and negotiate a particular “territory.”  Artistic managers are able to frame and reframe experience, sorting through the tangled underbrush to find solutions

Four Types of Frames  Structure Frame  Human Resource Frame  Symbolic Frame  Political Frame
