Milan High School Summer Academy 2009 -- June 15th and 16th

Milan High is again hosting a summer academy open to education professionals - teachers, para pros, administrators and curriculum leaders are all invited to attend. This year, Milan High has taught all freshmen both Algebra and Geometry as its minimum math offering, with only a 5% failure rate. Our math teacher and special education consultant will team to present their work.

Likewise, our English 9 & 10 teachers will share their standards-based program -- where students can design their own learning to demonstrate mastery of the content expectations. Again, the emphasis is on limiting failure in meeting the MMC.

Our Leadership class and Literacy Tutors course (MASB winner) teacher will also be presenting again. Come see ways to expand your student leadership capacity in your building and a unique approaching to improving literacy at multiple buildings. Finally, there will be a session on the mastery learning instructional process that is used throughout the building, as well as the administrative role in building your school team into leaders.
