What assumptions do you have about "those kids" and the West Ada high school academies?
Manage episode 445173222 series 3490599
Let’s be honest, “those kids” don’t have the greatest reputation – and that’s not fair. Students choose to attend West Ada’s alternative high schools for various reasons; they’ve had to repeat a grade, attendance issues, essentially any at risk category. If you have a student you’re concerned about, this episode is for you.
Kristen Haener and Mike Hanneman join us to talk about how West Ada’s academies meet those students where they are and formulate a plan for success. Haener is the district’s Administrator of Alternative Education and Hanneman is the principal of Rebound School of Opportunity and Virtual School House.
