9th Grade Nation
The House program is based on nationwide research that has shown
that creating smaller learning communities within schools leads
to greater student success. This means more attention for each
student in a smaller high school group. Much of this success is
due to the support and personalization that students receive when
they have teachers in various subjects working together to teach
them what they need to know.
|
| For
freshmen, the first year of school is a very transitional one with
many new expectations. Teams of teachers and students working together
can focus on making school connections and can support one another
in the process. The final goal is success for all of our students.
Along with The Source web site, our House can boost the ability
to better track students as they make their way through three core
classes of their freshmen year. Students get to know one another
well and teachers can adjust teaching strategies and collaborate
to provide a setting that works best for each unique group. |
