REDESIGNING SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS
Why Secondary Redesign?
For over 150 years, middle/junior and high schools have run with the same curriculum and structure that was designed for industrial society and factory workers. Students still sit in rows and listen to teachers deliver information for 45 minutes and then guide worksheet practice for the remainder of the period. Secondary schools still do not encourage collaboration, engagement and development of 21st century skills. The jobs of the 20th century will no longer exist in the 21st century, but we're still preparing students for those. By 2024, 80% of jobs in the U.S. will require some degree training beyond a HS diploma. Secondary school redesign programs address these issues.
