2009-10 Yearbook - School Management Services

The best education minds in this country continue to say that the skills
and competence of being able to read and comprehend technical literature
and write technical documents are critical to a child’s success in our
society. KTEC embraces this challenge and will teach the most essential
benchmarks in a technology driven framework. KTEC has the potential
to take the 21st Century Skills concepts and implement those concepts in
a school immerged in technology in virtually every curricula area.

Paideia Academy is a school of choice, serves students in grades 6-8 in
Kenosha Unified School District No. Paideia is a curriculum philosophy,
and the Paideia Academy is the first school in Wisconsin to implement
this approach. Instruction is accomplished through three techniques--
didactic, coaching, and seminar--and aims to use Socratic questioning
and critical thinking to link problem solving strategies with real-life
situations.
Paideia Academy is a learning community dedicated to drawing upon
and further developing the curiosity in each member of the school -
learning, sharing, caring and growing in the process. We embrace
learning as a partnership among students, parents, staff and the
community. We believe in cooperation, creating teams of learners and
individual life long knowledge seekers through vigorous education using
the Paideia Principles of Learning.
