CHS Futures Committee Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Where we have been Jan 2012 – May 2013 • Update on 5/13 School Board Meeting • Positives • Cautions • Satellite/hub model with Ron and Gina • Moving Forward • what is our process for bringing new folks up to speed on our vision? • Committees • Presentations outside of the school district • Details on possible programs (visitations) • Policy/Procedure for starting satellite programs • Calendar for next year Where have we been?Where are we headed?
Our charge from CHS Governance: • 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
Specific proposal • Broader direction • What could change look like? • How do we approach the change? Vision and culture desired • Instructional practices • to support that vision and culture • School structure • to support those instructional practices and thus that vision and culture Perspective …. Interested?
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
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”
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?
