Through the Academy Model, all students will be evaluated on their acquisition of core life skills, including career skills. This is a culminating project which allows them to use all of the skills and knowledge they have gained throughout their high school experience. Constant revisions and improvements are made by teacher teams and through communication efforts between teachers. As feedback is received, teachers meet together to discuss revision. Continual efforts have been made to devise new methods for assessing student experiences.
Students are the beneficiaries of the feedback process.
They, in turn, learn to use feedback as a method for understanding their learning and improvement. Students, parents, teachers, and employers were in constant communication throughout the year to assess the success of the program. Many revisions were made based on the feedback received. The assessment tools created for the Health Academy will also be used in the evaluation of other academies. I n addition, skills tests are being given in many of the classes to assess student competency.
