February 2 nd and 3 rd PPM High School Redesign Project Please remember that the High School Redesign Project is much more about instruction than construction: the High School Redesign Project and the Center Grove Construction Projects are related but not synonymous the High School Redesign Project and SLCs are not synonymous, and that SLCs are only one part of the redesign plan the High School Redesign Project involves personalizing CGHS in three ways and emphasizing three things. Personalize through: 1. Implementing SLCs Arent Are 2. Differentiating Advisory Grades 9 and 10 Grades 11 and Embracing the New 3 Rs Relationships Relevance Rigor SLCs: ArentAre a silver bulletan organizational structure a panaceaa strategy for delivering reform Advisory: Grades 9 and10: focus on the transition to high school Grades 11 and 12: focus on the transition to post-secondary 3 Rs: Relationships, Relevance, Rigor When teachers have strong, trusting relationships with their students, [students] work harder and achieve more. The more students understand how what they are learning is relevant to them, to their community, or to the world at large; the more motivated they will be to learn. Relationships and relevance make rigor possible. Emphasize: 1. Student Learning: focus on authentic engagement, which is characterized by high student attention and commitment 2. College Readiness: students are ready to enroll and succeedwithout remediationin a credit-bearing course at a two-year or four -year institution, trade school, or technical school 3. Career Readiness: focus on 21 st Century Skills, which are the skills, knowledge and expertise students should master to succeed in work and life in the 21st century Final Thoughts: Regardless of how the Center Grove Construction Projects referendum votes turn out or whether we cant fully implement SLCs should the High School Base Project fail, we will redesign CGHS!
