Site Visits summary
In February, a team of eight from the district traveled to California to tour six high schools and meet with a representative from a seventh, to look at best practices in high-performing schools, implementation of 21st century skills, courses, and to establish connections with other high performing campuses.
We toured the following schools:
Palo Alto and Gunn in Palo Alto
Harvard Westlake in Los Angeles
Mt. Carmel, Poway and High Tech High in San Diego (and visited with a representative from Escondido Charter School, as well.)
To read more about these visits, check out posts during the trip from these two blogs: Twain and Not So Distant Future.
The committee has been sharing a presentation at meetings around the district and is interested in your thoughts or input.
