Why is McCallum creating Small Learning Communities (SLCs)?
The Austin Independent School District is engaged in a process of High School Redesign. All high schools in the district have been asked to create Small Learning Communities or Small Schools within their current structures to facilitate personalization for students and teachers and improve student performance. The AISD website has lots of information about the initiative. Visit http://www.austinisd.org/inside/initiatives/redesign/ to learn more.
