TAGOS Leadership Academy - Project-Based Approach to Engaging Learners

The TAGOS Leadership Academy in Janesville, Wisconsin, is a public charter school that uses a project-based approach to re-engage students who may have been disengaged in traditional settings.

Student attendance was increased to 90%, discipline reduced by 88%, and test scores boosted.

Dean of Students Al Lindau and Advisor Jonathan Woloshin discuss the school and its techniques in this interview recorded at the Wisconsin Graduation Summit, March 2, 2010, where they gave a sectional presentation.
