Description
There is an emerging consensus that school designs that incorporate personalization, mastery, and positive youth development offer the kind of learning experiences necessary to prepare students for success in college, career, and life, in turn bridging persistent opportunity and achievement gaps. The Great Oaks Foundation (Great Oaks) strives to provide this type of learning experience and to prepare students for postsecondary success with high-dosage tutoring, high-quality teaching, and a strong emphasis on family and community engagement. With seven school sites across four states, Great Oaks has grown to the high school level and is poised to design a flagship high school model focused on student mastery, leadership, and community that builds upon Great Oaks’ innovative staffing model. With Corporation support, Great Oaks will design a new high school model and build the capacity of educators to successfully implement the model by codifying training programs and resources.
