3. “The Proposal” & The Process

The larger issue of educational reform - CHS in the 21st Century - should be passed on to a committee that, in turn, would generate some recommendations for future staff consideration.
“The Proposal” & The Process

5. Themes of a 21st Century CHS
Our Ideal Themes
Flexibility in learning through real world application, trial/error, inquiry- and process-based learning, project management, and individual student strengths;
Philosophical/paradigm shift in roles of educators, parents, and community;
Application of skills;
Importance of strong basic skills and core education that includes creative problem solving;
A strong focus on the individual learner – in a team setting as well as in the setting of an ever-growing school;
Career preparation for multiple career options
Continuous improvement: A school with adaptable, versatile teachers will produce adaptable, versatile students.
Themes of a 21st Century CHS

6. Where? Proactive: Programs driving facilities
Off-site CSD (Reclaim, Construct, Intradistrict…)
Off-site (Business campus, City campus…)
On-site expansion (Portables, Remodel…)
“Efficiency Programs” (Twilight School, Year- round or Summer School…)
Passive: Facilities drive programs
Stuck “in the box”

7. Some D in D questions for any program:
Transportation
How get teachers to main campus for PLC and staff m?
Moving kids at lunchtime, assemblies, or to/from school?
After-school activities – limitations or transportation and late kids?
Other
School lunches?
Targeting specialty groups?
Which staff would want to?
Why couldn’t we just do that here on the main campus? What makes it so special that it needs to be in a separate space/time?
