New Book: 
The Personalized High School

CSSR Organizes Proficiency Cluster for Upcoming Institute

The success of this application is a result of the innovative approaches to high school learning that the Plymouth School District has been implementing over the past several years.

The member districts participating in the NETWORK are representative of four New England states. The NETWORK represents a truly innovative approach to preparing and motivating students for postsecondary success.

We envision a redesign high school. A place where learning can happen anytime, anyplace; a place where students demonstrate their learning through complex, rigorous performance assessments. Our redesigned high school is a place where teachers function more as facilitators and coaches of learning than as lecturers and dispensers of knowledge. Our hypothesis for this work is: Students who participate in inquiry-based learning experiences tied to performance assessments will experience success in school and be better prepared for college and/or career experiences.

The NETWORK will allow schools to support each other in the development of personalized learning environments that include performance assessments as a vehicle of demonstrating mastery of course competencies.
