Learning Opportunities

Redesigning high school focuses on research and "next practice" thinking - where schools have implemented strategies and approaches aimed at transforming the high school experience for students and teachers through changes in school structure, culture, pedagogy or leadership.

This is an opportunity for you to be involved in the Moving Forward with High School Redesign learnings and conversations that are taking place with area High Schools for a facilitated conversation and sharing session.

This Learning Walkthrough puts you "on site" of a Moving Forward with High School Redesign school where you are able to tour the school and speak with staff and students about their journey. This will enable you to gather data to provide reflective feedback to the host school that may in turn support your own school plan.

9:30-10:00 - School Tour

10:00-12:00  - Time to consider and dialogue about following:

• School staff from Mother Mary Margaret will share their journey - successes and lessons learned
• A Guide to Support Implementation: Essential Conditions from the Moving Forward With High School Perspective

12:00-12:30 -  Lunch

12:30-3:00 - Time to consider and dialogue about following:

• What are the students saying?
• What are the department heads saying? (They might join us at lunch so as to not disrupt instruction)
• Readiness for Change

This is a great opportunity to work in school or jurisdiction teams to discuss the possibilities
