Est. 2006 Karl Bekkum 1238 Geele Avenue Sheboygan, WI 53083 (920) 459-3661 kbekkum@sheboygan.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: KG-05 160. Washington School for Comprehensive Literacy Washington School for Comprehensive Literacy adopts the components of the Comprehensive Literacy (CL) Model, developed as a schoolwide reform model by Dr. Linda Dorn and others at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. This model aligns high standards in standards, assessments, curriculum frameworks, instructional materials, school organization, school management, and professional development. The strategies and approaches common to the original model are integrated into all academic instruction. Students are challenged to make connections across content areas as they become self-regulated learners working toward higher levels of understanding through transfer, analysis, synthesis, and application. Serving students in grades KG-5, this educational program is commited to differentiated instruction. A workshop approach across the curriculum enables students to acquire strategies for self-regulating their learning. The workshop has five components that scaffold student understanding and knowledge: (a) mini-lessons, (b) small-group instruction, (c) independent practice or working with peers, (d) one-to-one or small group conferences, and (e) share time. The model puts high priority on increasing the opportunities for students to talk about content more deeply. Teachers are responsible for creating environments that recognize the power of language for learning. Other concepts that provide the foundation for instruction in the charter include a “framework for literacy,” which is a balanced literacy approach with explicit instruction in the essential components of a KG-5 reading program: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and the writing process. A schoolwide assessment system includes school reports, reading and writing assessment graphs, and ongoing formal and informal assessments. Shorewood School District Blane McCann 1701 East Capitol Drive (414) 963-6901 www.shorewoodschools.org Shorewood, WI 53211 Est. 2005 Matthew Joynt 1701 East Capitol Drive Shorewood, WI 53211 (414) 963-6927 mjoynt@shorewood.k12.wi.us Grade Levels: 09-12 161. New Horizons for Learning New Horizons for Learning (NHL) offers learning structures that fully engage students by providing a meaningful and challenging academic component integrated with a motivating and empowering life transitions component. New Horizons serves at-risk students in grades 9-12 and is comprehensive in addressing the needs of the whole child-academic, career/postsecondary, and social/emotional. It offers a low studentteacher ratio of 12:1, with emphasis on student participation, selfadvocacy, and self-assessment which helps foster a feeling of being valued and a contributor to one’s community. Students work with the teacher for three hours per day, during the morning or afternoon session, and are engaged the other half of the day either in a non-core class, an internship, or a field learning experience via community resources, area employment, and/or co-curricular activities. The charter school’s classroom component utilizes Project-Based learning methods integrating standards and core area proficiencies, cooperative learning, online curricula, and supplemental and enrichment materials. 67

Lakeview Montessori School Lakeview Montessori School offers an achievement-oriented, studentdriven educational choice to pre-kindergarten, through third grade students and their families. The school nurtures the whole student with daily, specific activities that facilitate growth in the physical, emotional, social, aesthetic, and cognitive domains. The openness of the learning community is strengthened by its focus on nurturing sensitivity for living things: plants, animals, and each other. Cognitive success is assured as each student advances at his or her own pace while studying music, language/reading, mathematics, science, art, history, and geography. Student-directed learning allows students to advance academically as fast and far as they desire, or to work slowly with a more gentle increase in challenge. Teachers receive intensive training in the Montessori philosophy and methods. Lakeview Montessori School readily involves parents and community members in the educational process. Parents and community members serve on the Site Council, thereby having direct control over the direction, accountability, and future of Lakeview Montessori School. They participate in their child's educational experience as well as in the management and global evaluation of the school. 163. Sparta Area Independent Learning Charter School (SAILS) The Sparta Area Independent Learning School (SAILS) provides an educational journey for at-risk high school learners (grades 9-12) and those ages 18 to 20 who are in danger of not graduating or who did not graduate due to lack of sufficient credits. SAILS provides a community where students take responsibility for their learning. Students and teachers develop customized education plans for which students take full responsibility. Students are now in school to master subjects they have chosen and to graduate. This approach to the core academics of math, reading, writing, and technology literacy is paired with a focus on employability skills, social skills, coping skills, lifetime wellness, and life planning. Higher-order academic skills are assessed through yearlong projects presented to review panels of teachers, peers, and experts in the field of study.
