Global Tech Prep’s Future State Design Big idea: Creating a personalized, blended (part on-line, part in-person)learning environment that offers students the opportunity to exercise choices, voices, and fluency in 21st Century skills. The GTP community will achieve this through: • Introducing flexible scheduling to enable community members to have more shared time for planning and to maximize student learning through innovative and non-traditional scheduling. • Implementing Apple Challenged-Based Learning (CBL), with learning tasks that are authentic and based on real-world problems. CBL allows students to engage with issues critically, gives students choice, and creates a role for teachers as facilitators. • Individualizing learning plans and goals for each student. • Continuing to hone in on and perfect Tony Wagner’s 21st Century skills through digital portfoliosfor every student. • Extending the learning day to 6:00 P.M for each student to engage in college and career exploration. • Graduating learners prepared for traditional as well as online learning environments.
