• • • Both CES and ELOB follow the philosophy of "less is more", "depth over breadth" and engaging students with challenging yet meaningful and relevant curriculum, all within the context of a highly personalized, supportive culture. Extensive research in both school reform approaches document that this methodology engages students and increases student achievement. Examples of successful small, urban public high schools around the country that have utilized the CES approach include the Boston Arts Academy and Urban Academy in New York City. Both schools have great track records including significantly higher graduation and college matriculation rates compared with other schools serving similar populations. 1 Our team believes that students learn best when teachers practice authentic and active pedagogy that requires students to construct their own knowledge and apply their learning. Key strategies include: • Learning expeditions: In-depth, interdisciplinary, standards-based investigations of a theme using project-based learning • Active pedagogy: Active and engaging teaching and learning that is hands-on and makes the content come alive • Service learning and community-based learning: Students are involved in projects in their communities, learn by doing, and have meaningful, relevant, yet standards-based experiences outside of the school's walls • Differentiated instruction: Students learn in heterogeneous (and fully inclusive) classrooms that allow them to progress even when that improvement has as many different starting points as there are students • Student-driven projects and inquiry: Students can follow their "passions", pursue topics, and produce projects of their choosing within the context of appropriate scaffolding • Literacy across the curriculum: Every class will include a strong focus on reading and writing, with all teachers being trained in literacy instruction and seeing themselves as literacy teachers. • Clear, achievable expectations around college: All students will take collegeprep courses and will receive college counseling and preparation in an environment where it is expected that everyone will attend college. Drawing upon the Mills TRIO Programs' expertise in preparing students for and helping them be admitted to four year colleges, ARISE's college-prep focus will be woven throughout the instructional program. We believe that a critical component of activating student learning and helping students realize their potential is for the staff to have high expectations for all students, including firmly believing that every young person is capable of attending and successfully graduating from an institution of higher education. A high level of personalization, a priority for both the Mills TRIO Program and the Coalition of Essential Schools, allows the adults to provide the support necessary to help students meet these elevated expectations. 1 See Bibliography in appendices 9 ARISE High School Charter Petition Submitted to the Oakland Unified School District July 18, 2006
• • • Through ARISE High School's unique combination of project-based instruction, real world experiences, extended day and year programs, standards-based curriculum, and rigorous graduation requirements, students will become self-motivated, skilled, fully prepared for college, and committed to a lifetime of learning and growth beyond high school. TRANSFER OF COURSES & COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS Just as parent involvement has been critical to the success of the Mills Upward Bound program, ARISE High School will work in partnership with our families to develop, support and sustain the school (starting with the parents on the school's design team.) Introductory orientations for both students and staff will be a critical part of every school year, and will include information about all aspects of the school program, with a special emphasis on the sequence of courses and activities leading to graduation and college matriculation. Our UC-approved courses will be translated into easy to understand transcripts that align with A-G requirements and these transcripts will match each individual student's personalized learning plan. These plans will be updated regularly and, along with portfolio presentations, will provide the substance of quarterly exhibitions of student work and student-led parent conferences. Students may fulfill course requirements through coursework at ARISE High School or through approved coursework at Mills College, another local college or a community college. Students will have the opportunity to earn credits that fulfill the University of California/California State University (UC/CSU) system A-G requirements. By virtue of completing required coursework, all graduates will fulfill or exceed the UC/CSU system A-G requirements, based on the chart below. The chart below contains graduation requirements. Parents and students will be notified of this information as part of student recruitment efforts and it will also be included in the Student/Parent Handbook to be given to parents and students upon enrollment. The latter will also inform parents about the transferability of courses to other public high schools. Additionally, ARISE High School intends to collaborate with other local high schools to ensure transferability both of our courses to other schools and other schools to ours.
