Description: "This high school transformation DVD is the result of Forum Director Leonard Burrello's work in the Indianapolis high school movement toward small schools; and his collaboration with Lauren Hoffman of Lewis University working with the ninth grade transition initiative underway in Washtenaw County Michigan. In most cases school principals and small school leaders left special education off the transformation agenda. Students with disabilities are not learning what they need to be successful in post-school life. " The video offers "seven factors that should be included in any transformation effort."
Notes: "How to view this DVD? ... view the problem definition section first, then stop and discuss similarities to your own schools. And then view each of the seven segments. Discussion worksheets [pdf files] are included to start your local conversations." -- Container.
