Credit Flexibility Article
Author: Ryan Gallwitz
The state requirement for expanded credit flexibility options in school goes into effect at the start of the 2010-11 school year, but East Knox High School has already implemented some pilot programs. Check out the article in the Mt. Vernon News about East Knox High School.
First off, WOOT for us!
In all seriousness, it was neat to be able to hear about what we're doing from an outside source. It's been fun doing this class, but it didn't really hit me how versatile it is until now. It's impressive hearing all the different things we are doing through the basic concept of taking school through life, not just in the classroom.
I am curious if there is anything similar in any other schools near us. We're the only ones in Ohio with the 21st century program, but I wonder if there is anything else that we could learn from?
I think it is amazing that East Knox was recognized for doing this early on. I did not know it was a course that was going into effect for all other schools. I just thought East Knox was trying to extend the borders and give students a new way to learn. Way to go East Knox!
I am proud to be part of such a new program. I absolutely love being able to talk about the things that are important to me and that I'm passionate about. It's exciting that I actually get to teach others about epilepsy. It's also exciting that East Knox is way ahead of any of our other county schools.
First off, I just want to say that Geocaching was awesome! I love that East Knox is branching out and providing diferent ways for students to earn credits. David's question about whether or not other schools are doing anything similar really got me thinking. I personally haven't heard of any other schools around here doing something as creative as we are, and that makes me really proud! We definately should keep it up.
