The Future of High School: How Districts Can Organize High Schools toward a New Vision for Student Learning
Education Resource Strategies
The pandemic brought new attention to the challenges high schools face, and, concurrently, communities are raising their expectations for graduates and demanding that high schools set students up to succeed and persist with college and career. While districts are creating inspiring visions for high school graduates and aspirational descriptions of the experiences they want their students to have, they're not identifying a coherent set of strategies to reach these goals or addressing the changes in high school organization that must accompany them. This brief explores the six shifts in the organization of resources necessary to achieve these ambitious objectives and to build toward an integrated vision of high schools, actually organized in ways that enable the strategies required to reach it. Also shared is how school systems can pay for these shifts and how they can structure the broader system roles that are required for sustainability and scale. The brief concludes with thoughts on how district leaders can get started now with moves that build toward these bigger shifts.
