This program will work with students beginning in middle school, through high school, and even into college. It's a comprehensive approach to addressing issues of access to higher education. The selected schools, representing a cross-section of the state's public high schools, will move toward learning environments of no more than 100 students per grade level. The average size of the high schools selected is about 1,000 students. Schools will also redesign how they approach teaching and learning, personalized instruction, and the use of technology as a tool.
Kids thrive when teachers know their names and can follow their progress.
Redesigning schools is hard work, but the results are worth every effort invested. The scholarship component of the program will be administered by the Washington Education Foundation.
