Are we preparing ALL students to be successful

after graduation?

What are the most important skills

employers seek in applicants?

@ryanerussell  

Big Questions

In a 2013 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), employers want these skills:

■  Work in a team ■  Make decisions and solve problems ■  Communicate well ■  Plan, organize, and prioritize work. ■  Obtain and process information ■  Analyze quantitative data ■  Technical knowledge related to the job ■  Proficiency with computer software programs ■  Create and/or edit written reports ■  Sell and influence others.

Top Skills Employers Want

@ryanerussell  

We were labeled successful because of an intensive focus

on an instructional cycle preparing students to earn a

high school diploma.

We will be labeled successful by preparing students to collaborate, create, critically think,

converse, and connect.

“Preparing students for a better tomorrow.”

What is Success?

BUT…. HOW?

We are all learners who deserve personalized learning

experiences to become leaders who have the skills to be

successful in life and create solutions for a better tomorrow.

@ryanerussell  

“Personalized learning is tailoring learning for each student’s strengths,

needs and interest–including enabling student voice and choice

in what, how, when, and where they learn–to provide flexibility and

supports to ensure mastery at the highest standard possible.”

The combination of the best of teacher led instruction and technology assisted

instruction that works together in harmony to increase student learning. In Warren,

blended learning must contain data-driven decisions, student reflection, small group
