NAESPA Distinguished Schools: Coming Out of a Pandemic: How to Maintain Rigor

The last three years have left scant time for reflection and adjustment to educate our students effectively. This disruption of learning has forced schools to learn new ways of teaching and learning. We have navigated schooling during the pandemic using a comprehensive educational model (Slavin, 2007), personalized student learning, data-driven decision-making, a one-to-one computing school, hiring experienced, highly trained teachers, hiring additional academic support in math and science. Support staff tracks deficient credits and low achievement levels, and we fund classes or packets they need to make up due to failing grades. The fluctuation of the past 3 years have forced us to change curriculum quickly using technology and hiring more support staff to differentiate instruction when needed. Our STEM curriculum, math curriculum, early college offerings, being a charter school embedded in a public high school affords a wide range of curricular and activity offerings for success.
