The
Taylor School District’s new Taylor High School Wall to Wall Academies concepts
continue to spark discussions across the community.
Recently
the high school and district administrators welcomed eighth graders and their
parents to the 2018 Taylor High School Wall to Wall Academy Parent Night
presentation at Truman High School in Cafe A. There was a fantastic turnout,
and after an informative power point presentation, an engaging Q&A took
place about all of the exciting changes being made in preparation for next
fall.
In
addition to parents from Hoover and West middle schools, we were excited to
welcome parents from Taylor Prep, Summit Academy, and Trillium as well.
Highlights
of the presentation and Q&A included the district's intentional focus on
aligning all courses into the four pathways to ensure students are able to
target their personal areas of interest as they schedule courses, building a
network of community business and industry partners to support the multiple
industry certifications that our students will be able to receive, and ensuring
students have access to business internships, adult business mentors,
job-shadow experiences, and other meaningful learning experiences while still
in high school.
More
meetings and presentations will come in the future.
