- Summary:
-
A group of dedicated teachers in Gilmer County High School, Glenville, West Virginia (WV), worked with school administrators to make far-reaching changes to prepare all students for further study and the workplace. With their experiences from High Schools That Work workshops and help from a WV Department of Education representative, educators began a process to write a plan that would focus on higher achievement for all students. To improve student achievement, school leaders raised graduation requirements; replaced the general track by designing a challenging curriculum; developed programs of study; allowed eighth graders to take algebra; prepared teachers to raise classroom expectations through applied learning strategies; upgraded technology; switched to block scheduling; and provided professional development. Further plans were to improve the mathematics curriculum; train teachers to get students to write across the curriculum; raise standards in all English classes; provide workshops for high school teachers and career center teachers to develop joint assignments; improve guidance to middle grade students; and follow up graduates. The state, school district, and the Southern Regional Education Board supported Gilmer County's efforts. (YLB)
