Olathe East Chosen As 2010 National Model High School
Olathe East has been selected as one of 20 model high schools for 2010 by the International Center for Leadership in Education.
The chosen schools shared their best practices at the 18th Annual Model Schools Conference, June 14-17 in Orlando. The Model Schools Conference is the nation’s premier event for K-12 education reform.
Model schools are selected annually based on high student achievement in all subgroups, providing all students with a rigorous and relevant curriculum, personalized instruction, increased student learning time, parent and community involvement, use of data to make instructional decisions, and other best practices. Case studies prepared by the International Center on Olathe East High School and the other model high schools serve as a resource for educators and policymakers.
The International Center for Leadership in Education, established in 1991 and located in Rexford, N.Y., is one of the most influential education consulting companies in America. It is best known for identifying and disseminating successful practices and techniques to assist all students in achieving higher standards. Dr. Daggett and his team of consultants have assisted numerous state education agencies and hundreds of schools and districts in their improvement initiatives.
