How Local Educators are Creating a New Culture

• Creating and maintaining a college-going culture in the school
• Emphasizing key cognitive strategies
• Holding high expectations for all students, then providing differing degrees of scaffolding based on student need
• Creating a core academic program that is aligned with and leads to college and career readiness by the end of 12th grade
• Making the senior year meaningful, challenging and engaging
• Reducing course selection choice in favor of college-focused and career-aligned offerings
• Creating assignments and grading policies that more closely approximate college expectations each successive year of school
• Promoting key self-management skills and academic behaviors with formative feedback to students toward skill/behavior development
