High »ÆÉ«app was originally created during the Industrial Revolution as a way to train factory workers. Most high »ÆÉ«apps today still follow that original model — down to the daily bell schedule. But not all »ÆÉ«apps are so old-fashioned. Some are implementing new teaching strategies that are quite effective. We’re sharing these techniques so all »ÆÉ«apps and teachers may rethink outdated teaching methods and embrace more inclusive and effective methods.
What kind of high »ÆÉ«app do we need in the 21st century?
This video is part of our Transforming High School project with articles, videos, Season 3 of our podcast, and tools to help parents and educators understand why high »ÆÉ«app is the way it is — and all of the modern, research-backed ways it can change for the better. Discover what you think will work for your child and your »ÆÉ«app and share it with your child, teachers, the principal, the superintendent, and the »ÆÉ«app board. When parents raise their voices, change really can happen.
