Diane Tavenner founded the first Summit charter school in 2003, developing and perfecting a personalized, project-based curriculum that puts students in charge of their own learning. The school developed a learning plan for every student. They engaged the students by appealing to them with interdisciplinary, real-world projects, rather than passively learning and memorizing in a classroom environment. They created mentorship groups, where students would talk through their goals and help each other solve problems, as well as meet one-on-one with their mentor, weekly. By internalizing a sense of purpose, self-direction, self-sufficiency, and collaboration, students learn the cognitive and life skills needed to navigate the next phases of their lives. Virtually 100% of Summit's original 400 students went on to attend four year colleges"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Individualized instruction $z United States. 650 0 $a Education, Secondary $x Curricula $z United States. 650 0 $a Mentoring in education $z United States. 650 0 $a Group work in education $z United States. 941 $a 6 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716030055.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021009.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061948.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200314010551.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20200110012907.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190920010048.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE103404DB6B11E9B7E63B6597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
