High School Questions: 1. How will teachers be assigned to small learning academies?
RESPONSE: Teachers will be assigned to each academy based on the classes needed in the academy and the individual expertise of each faculty member. Care will be taken to ensure that all students’ learning needs are met within each academy. For example, the REI teachers (special education inclusion teachers) will be assigned to each academy to allow the inclusion program to continue to be successful in each academy. Care will be taken to assign a diverse group of teachers to each academy so students benefit from a variety of instructional approaches.
