3 SCHOOL TRANSFORMATION PLAN<br />
An extended day and<br />
stronger core<br />
To continue its turnaround and better prepare its students<br />
for high school, Reavis will develop an extended school<br />
day and a more rigorous academic program, with an<br />
emphasis on the middle-school grades.<br />
We will work with CPS and the <strong>Chicago</strong> New Teachers<br />
Center (CNTC) to implement departmentalized classrooms<br />
for 6th through 8th grades, concentrating first on reading<br />
and math instruction and then on science and social<br />
studies. We are recruiting new teachers to work in the<br />
middle school grades and will orient them to the new<br />
program using CNTC’s training system and a coach<br />
trained by CNTC. The middle school will also be the focal<br />
point for introduction of new curricula covering reading,<br />
writing, math and science.<br />
Our extended-day will provide three and a half hours of<br />
after-school time, including 90 minutes for homework<br />
support and tutoring and two hours for enrichment<br />
activities and physical fitness. A Saturday school will be<br />
added one or two times per month, along with a four- to<br />
six-week summer session to help students maintain their<br />
school-year academic gains. We will also use an outdoor<br />
grade-level community-building camp experience early in<br />
the fall semester to help students build healthy<br />
relationships among themselves and with their teachers.<br />
The “Reavis Way” will continue to provide guiding principles<br />
for students, faculty, parents and staff as we pursue our<br />
goal of preparing graduates for high school and beyond.<br />
