Experimental Plan Allows Choice For Life Path
KENTUCKY...
Several western Kentucky schools are preparing to test an experimental system that allows students to choose educational paths based on their skills and strengths.
The plan, called Community Campus, will start in the 2011-12 school year.
Participating districts include Owensboro Public Schools, Daviess County Public Schools, Owensboro Catholic Schools and Hancock County Schools. Also involved are Western Kentucky University, Owensboro Community & Technical College and the University of Kentucky.
Schools will function as normal but will contain secondary academies. Five academies will be created at Owensboro-area schools -- the Arts Academy; Science Technology and Engineering Academy; Entrepreneurship and Business Academy; Construction, Trade and Energy Academy; and the Life Science Academy.
