About this title

Synopsis

Hidden in the shadows of the “Superman Building” (tallest building in downtown Providence, Rhode Island) and those of other brick and mortar structures, behind the 7-Eleven on Weybosset Street, is a vibrant, highly successful educational laboratory of innovation for 225 high school students, their teachers, administrators, and staff of the Village Green Virtual Charter School (VGV) pioneering the school of the future — the first full e-curriculum based and most intense blended learning “bricks and mortar” model in Rhode Island K-12 public education; and, one of just a few of its type in the nation. Now in its fourth year of operation, the school has been visited by several teams of educators from school districts around the country to study the model in hopes of replicating it for their own districts. The high school uses a “blended learning” model of online curriculum (Edgenuity) as its primary curriculum delivery system as well as in-classroom teaching. Students are in “workshops” working with teachers about 40% of the time and online the other 60%. Students have their own partitioned workspace in large rooms referred to as Learning Centers. Teachers at Village Green work with students when there is a skill or strategy that cannot be mastered in the online curriculum. The author presents an unprecedented look at the birth of this “school of the future” from the initial conception of Dr. Robert Pilkington, widely acknowledged as the founder of the Rhode Island charter school movement, through all of the trials and tribulations along the way, and through the schools first graduating class in the spring of 2016. The book provides a comprehensive blueprint for schools/school districts that wish to implement the Edgenuity e-courseware platform for a high school program of study. Included are detailed descriptions of the technology infrastructure, student and teacher survey data, teacher best practices and lessons learned as well as several innovations to share.
