Ferguson presents key findings from the 2009 AGI report “How High Schools Become Exemplary”. Two leaders at featured schools, Skipper, TechBoston Academy and Wolder, Brockton High School shared their perspectives.
The instructional leaders from Brockton High School attribute success to their literacy initiative supported by literacy charts in every classroom. They also focused on open response drills and fostered student engagement.
Whittier Technical High School leaders Hunter-Jensen, Fay, and Lowell share the details of their programs that significantly raised student achievement.
