Preparing Academics

This week, teachers and principals met to goal set and create a plan to enhance the educational experience at North High School. The team examined school data such as our Iowa Assessment results, parent surveys, enrollment trends, and student surveys. 

Data was used to determine how and what teachers will learn to make classes more rigorous and prepare students for 21st Century careers. The teachers will be emhancing their learning through Authentic Intellectual Work (www.centerforaiw.com). 

During the past school year, teachers used this model of collaboration to examine the school work that they assigned students. A group of fellow teachers assessed the task to determine the level of rigor, communication, and relevancy. Teachers would also offer each other suggestions on how to improve upon their tasks and integrate technology.
