Large to Small School Transition

Large to Small School Transition (Schools Within a School):  How to Avoid the Pitfalls!

 

 

 

 

Learn from two educators who were on the school design team, and who have actually taught during the transition from a large urban school to five unique small schools.

Whether you are already divided into small schools or thinking of making the move from one large school to multiple small schools, our workshop will address the important issues and help you avoid future problems.

The workshop addresses the following topics and more!

  • Self-evaluation of current school condition.

  • Needed committees including staff development, school visits, and continuous evaluation and improvement.

  • Small School Identities (Theme Academes vs. Instructional Models).

  • Distributed Leadership (how to incorporate the entire staff into the decision making process).

  • How to divide the staff and students.

  • Support staff logistics and involvement in the small school process.

  • Large School concerns in your small school (how to make some of the efficiencies of a big school work to your advantage in small schools).

  • Alleviating apprehensions of staff and students.

  • Maintaining Upper Level Academics, AP courses, and rigor.

  • Whole school issues such as band, choir, sports, and fine arts.

  • Answering staff questions such as "Will I have my own room?" & "What am I teaching next year?"

  • Addressing the issue of splitting departments that have functioned well in the past.

  • Administrators spend time asking "How may I help you?" rather than constantly "putting out the fires" of the daily grind.
