High Tech High
Positives
Technology Field
Students have access to amazing resources
Resources could lead to great projects
Teachers are engaging and students are interested
Physical Education
Taken as a serious course Balance between exercise and education
Teaching valid and important subjects that relate
In America, Physical Education (class) is not taken seriously but rather as a joke
Teacher Support
Understand the demographic of students
Provide resources and help
Most students have respect for teachers
Improvements
Schedule
Observations
Students have too many classes per term
Since they are constantly moving, it is difficult for them to focus and build a relationship with each teacher
Ideas
“Team Teachers”
Core classes daily, other classes rotated through each term
Cross-curriculum
Mixed classes
Independence
Observations
Teachers spend most of class time lecturing
Students easily disengaged from class
Ideas
More open work time and activities in class
Give students a voice
Give students responsibility, if students abuse their privileges, take them away
Hands-on Work
Observations
Mostly non-existent
Students spend most of class time note-taking and listening to a teacher
Ideas
More student interaction
“Hidden learning”
Finding real world connections to what they are learning in the classroom
Let students experiment and see where it leads
Student Critiques
Observations
Students do not get the chance to see each others work
Students don’t get the chance to get an outside opinion of their work before turning it into the teacher.
Ideas
Students can read each others writing and help each other with ideas and grammar
This also helps the teacher before marking
Literacy
Observations
Students struggle with grammar/sentence structure
Numeracy/Literacy seem below average
Ideas
Create Projects! Projects are an excellent way to improve any subject in a fun environment (this goes for anything)
Students read each others work
Community/Culture Building
Observations
Students stick to their grade level and group of friends
Lack of student work presented throughout the school
Ideas
Create school-wide assemblies for students to interact and present to their peers
Student work on display
Tutorial could act as an “advisory” or “homeroom” with mixed grade levels
