AI High School program changes bring new opportunities
Posted by | CommentsIn the spring of 2008, a task force was established to study the educational program at Alternatives for Individuals (AI) High School. Although AI High School provided students with a nurturing, supportive and caring environment, district officials saw a trend of low student achievement and graduation rate; and, a majority of students focused on the state’s 19 credit diploma versus the district’s 30 credit diploma.
The task force investigated whether the AI program, as designed, met the needs of students as they prepare for college, career and citizenship. The task force worked through a structured process to arrive at their recommendations:
- Where are we now;
- What can we learn from research about the problem;
- What can we learn from model programs; and
- What makes sense for this school and the district?
