If it's truly measurable you can improve.
Students know exactly what they have to do and what they're going to be tested on.
I think then as the students graduate from the Thompson district then as they graduate they're able to go out and be more productive employees. Each student works with a group of counselors, parents and teachers to develop an integrated Career and Academic plan. Students are encouraged to explore their options, set goals and follow through with appropriate classes and work-based learning experiences. Colorado State University, The University of Northern Colorado, Aims Community College and Front Range Community College offer students college courses and the use of high tech facilities to complement their current studies. Students can take part in work-based learning experiences and internships offered by area employers such as McKee Medical Center, Kodak, Bank One, and Hewlett Packard.
