As we move closer to restructuring our classes into the academy structure to help our students experience a more purposeful and focused high school experience, it is hard not to question if we are proceeding in the best manner.  At a recent SSR district meeting, the same question was raised.  In response, the district unveiled its new “user-friendly” website.  The link is posted on the sidebar under “District’.  Please click on it to explore what SSR looks like at other Miami-Dade county public schools.  Additionally, click on this link for a “checklist” of what the elements of implementing SSR are:  http://ssr.dadeschools.net/test/Academy_Implementation.pdf  .  Hopefully you will be able to see that we are on the right track to a successful implementation that is tailored to the needs of our students.

Secondary School Reform at Coral Gables Senior High may still seem confusing and vague.  At the recent faculty meeting several teachers expressed that they felt uncomfortable in understanding what this restructuring entails. The desgin committee hopes that the introduction of this site will help in clarifying these misunderstandings while providing at the same time an opportunity to express your own thoughts.
