part of the local school district. The
South Carolina Charter Schools Act of
1996 was enacted to:

• Improve student learning
   

• Increase learning opportunities for students
   

• Encourage the use of
  a variety of productive teaching methods
   

• Assist South Carolina
  in reaching academic excellence

**Task Force on Charter School Funding
Timing Interim Report**

• Providing a strong academic foundation.
   
• Creating a project-based curriculum modeled after real workplace practices.
• Offering technical training for employment and advancement
  in the contemporary economy.
   
• Individualizing academic roadmaps.
   
• Developing critical and independent thinking skills.
   
• Requiring community service
  for each student.
   
• Providing career and academic advisement and close association with adult mentors from business and industry and college faculty and staff.

• 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.
