Today I want to share with you some information about the school district's Dual Enrollment program. Mr. Capoccioni, one of the high school assistant principals spearheads this initiative. There are 14 classes that are now in the dual
enrollment program. These classes are
not “new” classes. Rather, they are
classes that the district was already offering and Mr. Capoccioni got them approved for
college credit. A student can choose
whether or not to take the class as a Dual Enrollment class (and pay the
associated cost) or take the class as a regular high school class. The best part of this program is that our
curriculum and our teachers are being approved by colleges to offer
credit classes. I believe that says a
lot about the quality of our staff and curriculum. You can find the flyer explaining the program here.
Thanks to Mr. Capoccioni. Here is a link to another resource, Khan Academy, that has "Reboot the School" per Time magazine. I've also seen sessions about it on TV news channels. It is free, and seems to work.

The Khan Academy is a great example of "Just in Time Teaching" where a student (or teacher in a classroom) can use the videos at Khan Academy to supplement or reinforce classroom instruction.
