|
|
|
Principal, Fred Crawford, looks on as his

technical training for employment and advancement in the contemporary
economy.
- Individualizing
academic roadmaps.

Principles of
Curriculum and Instructional Methodology |
|
|
-
Project-based
learning: Rigorous academics will include methodologies that
integrate academic
and technical components.
Project-based learning gives each student, individually or
in teams, the opportunity to apply content areas based upon
real life experiences.
-
Time on Task to
Learn: Longer periods of time spent in active laboratory;
hands-on
learning results in much stronger retention and subsequent
application of skill. Each
student will spend at least
one-third and up to one-half of daily learning time in
technical laboratory or workplace learning environments.
|
 |
|
|
-
Individualized
Program: Each student will develop a four-year academic road
map,
including career goals, with the assistance of a counselor,
mentor(s) and his/her
parents or sponsor. During grades
10 - 12, students may earn dual-credit
(both high school
and college) by taking college courses at Greenville
Technical College.
-
Technical
Curriculum: Each technical concentration is in a
competency-based format identifying
what students need to know and be able to do in the
workplace within the respective
career area.
-
Technology:
GTCHS staff will make extensive use of technology in the
preparation and
delivery of instruction.
