NESSC High School Redesign in Action Conference
Pre-conference: Thursday, March 17th, 9:00 am
In this session, school coaches from the Great Schools Partnership will share a comprehensive approach to developing a multi-year district plan for implementing proficiency-based learning. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of the components of district-wide implementation and a set of resources, such as a district self-assessment and planning tool. The resources are designed to guide a district leadership team through a thoughtfully staged process that will result in a concrete plan of action, building upon the district’s existing assets in the areas of policy, practice, and community engagement. This session will focus on the particular role leaders must play, especially in districts with two or more high schools.
While the session will help districts that are just beginning their work, the resources and strategies will also be beneficial to districts already transitioning to a proficiency-based system.
