    Possible changes at West High

  • Trial of modified schedule.

    Google suite powers the collaboration necessary for design, revision, etc.
  • Implementation of modified schedule.

  • Noiser open source classrooms

    More rooms with tables or other furniture vs. desks. Mobile devices or Chromebooks often out. Hard to find the teacher who is circulating and offering guidance or gathering formative data to guide next steps.
  • Alternative Programs

    A variety of instructional/classroom choices exist for students that have been designed from student need: Classes with students that value working individually, classes with students who learn best with collaboration, hybrid classes that are "open" 24/7 with face-to-face time as well as at home time, etc.
  • Breaking down of subject silos

    As teachers (Digital Immigrants) become immersed in the New World of collaboration that technology allows, we begin to see courses that integrate subject areas. English and Social Studies are earliest pioneers, then math and science and eventually everyone else.
