that advance them to mastery at an appropriate age?

~ Learning ~
Multiple, connected pathways to student success.
Academic and vocational pathways are designed and delivered so that all students secure both core competencies and engage in educational programs that are relevant to their personal and career interests. Clear and accessible gateways exist from elementary to secondary education to post-secondary and vocational education.

Question 6. Should the U.S. incorporate values
and non-academic skills back into the curriculum like the high-performing systems do
to build character and morally conscious citizens?
Student Success Driver: 1Early Learning
What is needed to provide early preventative, individually tailored support for all children?
Question 4.How do the high-performing systems teach the whole child, including play, the arts, and languages, and provide whatever is needed to ensure student success?
Imagine …
A child important to you has just turned
25 years old. How do you hope to
describe him or her?
All students should graduate from high school prepared for the demands of postsecondary education, meaningful careers and effective citizenship.

Key Learnings• The Whole Child grant has a three year term; we
could not focus on all the initiatives during 2012-13 school year.
• We realize after three years funding from ASCD we will be limited and will need to find ways to sustain the current programs and keep adding to others.
• Staff changes may affect how initiatives are implemented and sustained.
