Enhanced Learning Opportunities at Beaverlodge Regional High School

As the school year begins, Beaverlodge Regional High School is embarking on our high school redesign project.  We are looking forward to the new opportunities to engage our students with active and meaningful learning. 

Our re-design is focusing on flexible thinking from both our students and staff.  We are now offering and all students are apart of our teacher advisor program.  This program is meant to build student and teacher relationships through multigraded groups of students.  Students will be completing a one-credit module by creating an iFolio that advertises student achievement. 

The second component of our re-design is that we are offering an enhanced learning opportunity block three times a week.  This blocks purpose is to help students have the opportunity to ask questions in other courses that they may be having issues with.  Based on initial responses...students have been supportive of this change as it often eliminates homework. 

We are looking forward to this school year with our high school re-design and "We are Proud" (school motto) of what this could produce.
