After reading chapter 6, Tony Wagner enlighten us with three great schools (High Tech High, the Met, and Francis Parker) that have implemented great ideas to get students involved and wanting to go to school. I have decided that I would like to develop my own school. This school would be open for any students in the community. Their will be a total of 700 students only so that we can identify each student and have a strong relationship with those students. In class, the students will be presented with problem solving assignments in their science, technology, and math classes. Teacher will have to collaborate with each other and come up with ideas that will present students with critical thinking and problem solving assignments. The main goal in this school is for the students to graduate and have an understanding of what to expect when going out in the workforce or college. School will start at 9:00am in the morning to give the students time to eat breakfast and have a good night sleep. The students will have a choice as to what classes they need to take during the semester but they have to meet their requirements to graduate. The school will have playroom with video games, pool table, ping pong table. etc......where the students can go on their breaks. Food will be supplied for those students that are in a low income family and the cafeteria will be filled with food that is healthy. The school will avoid having processed food. The principal will walk around and observe every class during the week and have a good rapport with the teachers. Overall, this school will be a great learning environment for students, teachers, administrators and parents to attend.
