Appalachian Renaissance Initiative

Public Holler 2 months, 1 week ago

A consortium of 21 rural school districts made the commitment to share resources and professional learning opportunities and also work to affect policy and protocol in an effort to connect learners to highly effective teachers every day. This resulted in the development of the Appalachian Renaissance Initiative (ARI).

    Thinkers of the Future
    As I stand in front of my classroom each day looking at my students I can’t even conceive the future for them. I wonder what unthinkable gadgets will unfold. I question if schools are progressing quickly enough to make significant contributions in the preparation of our students for what is yet to be. Will they have t…[Read more]

    This year has been amazing. Getting to work with Mark on our project has been an eye opening experience. The students got to do some great things in and out of the classroom using the programming skills they have learned.

    Today is the FIRE Summit! At this point the project is full go. We have had a lot of success outside of our intended goal and after looking at our data, it looks promising towards our intended goal as well. Our initial data showed greater growth among our participating students than nonparticipating students! While the growth was small, it is a…[Read more]

Now we are staring down the arduous task of editing all of those interviews into one coherent story. The more we learn about our county the more we find that we are barely scratching the…[Read more]

    My speech students have loved using our pretend play toys. They are great for working towards so many goals. My kids often think they’re getting reward time, but are still working on social and/or language goals while we play!

    We are coming closer to having our project finished, as students are submitting their interviews of unsung heroes. This has been an enlightening project that has involved not just the students, but people from the community. Students are coming up with innovative ways to use the A/V equipment that we acquired through this grant. We can’t wait…[Read more]

    I feel that every day we are finding new ways to use the Kindles in the classroom, and they are proving to be more useful than we originally ever could have dreamed.

We started small but we have seen an increase in the total student participation in both of our CS courses so we are extremely excited to see such enthusiasm.
