education at its rural site. Located in a region of Wisconsin's northern lake and woodland countryside, NCES reflects the small farms, forestry practices, and tourist recreation economy, all of which are centered on the natural resources abundant at the students' doorsteps. Environmental education is emphasized throughout the curriculum. The project-based pedagogy takes full advantage of the surrounding area for students to develop an understanding of their community: its social structure, its history, its economy, its music, its art, and its ecology. In short, community projects and field study opportunities abound. By studying the watershed, participating in community projects, raising and caring for animals, designing and sustaining a productive garden, interviewing elders about the cultural heritage of home, and helping to serve the needs of others, these students are engaged both academically and socially in the life of the community.

Northwoods Community Secondary School Northwoods Community Secondary School (NCSS) is located in north central Wisconsin. The school offers an innovative choice for School District of Rhinelander students attending grades 6-12 to become part of a smaller learning community in a technology-enriched environment distinctive for its positive school culture, rigorous Project-Based curriculum, diverse assessment techniques, shared school governance, and dynamic community-enhanced learning opportunities. This environment strives to combine high expectations and a meaningful course of study with sustained involvement of caring adults who mentor, advise, and support students throughout their educational careers. Est. 2007 Kirby Kohler 915 Acacia Lane Rhinelander, WI 54501 (715) 365-9220 kohlekir@rhinelander.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: 07-08 146. Rhinelander Environmental Stewardship Academy Rhinelander Environmental Stewardship Academy (RESA) engages 7th and 8th grade students to apply scientific and social sciences skills to sustain environmental systems for the health of the greater Rhinelander community. In doing so, students become college-ready autonomous learners with the confidence and skills to pursue the widest range of postsecondary pathways. There are tremendous resources in the Rhinelander area from federal fisheries and forestry labs, to educators with deep knowledge of Northwoods environmental systems to Wisconsin DNR professionals. RESA’s interdisciplinary curriculum based on thematic units related to air, water, soil, land, and renewable energy is focused on developing an active environmental literacy in students. With a continuous development of strong academic skills, especially in science and math, students will undertake serious research in issues of watershed, forest ecosystems, and wildlife management. Work undertaken will require direct contact with the natural artifacts of a place: soils, wetlands, weather, plants, and wildlife – in conjunction with professionals involved in the work of those places. 61

Crossroads Charter School Crossroads Charter School, located at an independent facility in Ripon, Wisconsin, is designed for at-risk students, grades 6-12, who have encountered a crossroads in their learning, primarily due to serious behavior issues. High expectations foster success. Project-based curriculum and instructional practices flow from three broad goals: 1) academic engagement and achievement; 2) development of life skills and personal assets; and 3) community engagement/employability. Experiential instruction, including practical applications in student lives and in the community is used, as well as developmental assets and social skills training. Formats include direct instruction using core standards and benchmarks; practical teaching strategies tailored to individual student and small group needs; and traditional and/or online credit recovery instruction. High school students who are credit deficient use standard core and/or credit recovery curriculum, and students who are severely credit deficient and at least 17 years old have the option of the GEDO #2 program, which enables them to graduate with a high school diploma. 149. Ripon Exploration and Application Charter High (REACH) The Ripon Exploration and Application Charter High (REACH) School applies research-based programming to the chronic challenge of tailoring instructional strategies to fit with the diverse ways of learning that characterize any student population. The Ripon Area School District offers high school students the opportunity to meet high state and local academic standards by developing their kinesthetic aptitudes (also variously referred to as "learning by doing," "hands-on learning," and 62
