The question in the age of NCLB is how do you motivate the kids who have traditionally checked out of school. The drop out rate is an unacceptable fact in American education. In today's flat world, making a good living without a high school diploma is very difficult. In fact, making a good living without some post-secondary education/training is becoming more difficult.
So why is a middle school principal talking about drop-outs? Isn't the drop-out rate a high school problem? I don't believe that the high school owns the drop-out problem.
At Algonquin we are working on interventions that should help more students succeed. We already have two technology based rooms as interventions. (The TLC rooms) We know this can't be the only thing we do, but it is a start. We have a great staff and we will develop more interventions soon.
Stay Tuned
