- career academies
which offer students academic programs organized around a broad
career theme. Classes directly relate to work the student has
undertaken during the school year.
|
- mentoring and other
teacher-advisory systems in which teachers, counselors, other
school staff, volunteers, and employees who work with the student
serve as mentors to help students on an individual basis. Advisory
activities may include helping students develop personal learning
plans, introducing them to career possibilities, helping them choose
which classes to take, and helping students plan for attending
college or a university.
|
- schools-within-schools
and "houses" which operate within existing schools,
reporting directly to the school district and not to the school
principal. These programs have their own staff, students and budget.
In addition, house programs have their own student activities,
student government, disciplinary policies and social activities.
|
career
clusters which help students by mapping out a curriculum that would
provide the academic and technical education necessary for their
particular field.
