The New Tech Network graduation seal has a special meaning. The years spent in New Tech Network schools allow students to gain the academic and deeper learning skills necessary for any post-secondary option.
Throughout the life of a project, students, as young as five-years-old, collaborate with their peers, facilitators, and outside experts to demonstrate oral and written communication by engaging with authentic audiences. Engagement in relevant and challenging tasks help students develop ownership over their learning and a sense of agency – skills that are essential in college and career.
Ensuring graduates are ready for college, career, and civic life is a challenge for most schools and requires a different perspective about expectations for both students and adults.
This year, we asked school directors to share their thoughts on the ideal New Tech Network graduate.
Come celebrate with graduates of Carolina High. Students at this school graduate with employability skills like critical thinking, collaboration and so much more. Congratulations class of 2018!
