High Tech High CEO Larry Rosenstock describes a vision for education that embraces learning that flows from personal interests, passion for discovery, and a celebration of art, technology, and craftsmanship.
I recently left teaching because I was not allowed to do Project Based Learning. Our new principal decided he wanted us to simply teach to the test. I hope one day to find a school where creativity and risk taking is encouraged.
I've attended HTH since my freshman year, and I'm happy I can say that! My main takeaway was being introduced the Adobe Creative Suites and photography/video, and I've taken what I've learned there and run with it.
I started my own business with a friend and we're already working for others and helping make a difference in the local and global community. Much of what we know came from studying on our own time, but HTH gave us the foundation we needed. Search J & J Multimedia San Diego on Google
good idea. Problem is that this costs a bunch, and he said there were 600 kids at the school. That's tiny, my graduating class alone was 700, and my school wasn't that big. Its also hard nowadays to find those "good" teachers.
A brilliant application of uncommon "common sense" as an artist/musician and teacher it makes me joyous that there are schools out there of this magnitude....put this in place of the test score driven programs in the "traditional" classrooms and make this school a model for "no child left behind". Let the "standard" educational programs take some cues from this long overdue approach to relevent learning in a world desperately in need of learning programs for the 21st century...well done! Bravo!
I found this link on the TAB-Choice (Art) Yahoo group, and as I watched it I suddenly burst into tears! How profound and how innovative, and how I wish my own school experience had been of this caliber! And, how I would love to drive my own 7th grade art classes to this kind of experience! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

A really inspiring video and it's sad that this is the exception, rather than the rule
