Few accept such a challenge. But, the administration, school leaders and teachers in partnership with students, parents and the community at these HSTW sites have accepted the challenge. They will improve the way they prepare their students for work and further education. They work in partnership to make their school district and educational system better. Student s are HSTW sites first customers.
Students are our community's economic base and future.
HSTW is one of three nationally recognized school improvement frameworks. It is research and data driven to help raise all students' achievement in math, science, communication and problem solving skills. Oklahoma's HSTW sites are to be commended for their efforts to establish site teams, site action plans, goals, professional development plans, and their continued effort to collect data to chart their progress in implementing the 10 Key Educational Practices. I invite you to explore the HSTW web site. Thank you to all the HSTW sites for your commitment and hard work to help prepare our economic future.
