Design & Implementation Teams
The diagram below shows the planning teams that will begin working in Spring 2017 and beyond to design the academies and all aspects of the schools to support them. These teams will be comprised of high school teachers, leaders, and students and include university and community partners. The Academy Design Teams are for the four new themed academies:
- CGS – Community and Global Studies Academy
- PMA – Performing and Media Arts Academy
- TED – Technology, Engineering, and Design Academy
- MLS – Medical and Life Sciences Academy
The Work Groups will address critical aspects of school practice that must be aligned with the academy model. The Review Panel for HS Redesign is a group of staff and students who will receive updates and provide feedback on the work being done by the Academy Design Teams and the Work Groups.
