Congratulations to Penny Ellis, Life Skills Teacher, for being selected 'Top Teacher of the Year' by Live with Regis and Kelly's Top Teacher of the Year Contest. 

The award was presented this morning at Oceanside High School and seen live by a national television audience. 

We have had the opportunity to work with Penny and her other special education teachers for the past three years. The 'Transition Opportunities Program' is a school to work program for students with special needs. It is designed to provide hands-on opportunities to develop skills which enable students to achieve maximum independence in working, living and participating in the community as adults. It is certainly a program that prepares students to be life ready as they leave high school. 

We are excited and happy for Penny. This recognition certainly demonstrates the hard work being done for our special needs students. 

Once again a well deserved award!

Digital Learning Council Releases 'Road Map' to Ed. Overhaul

The recently commissioned Digital Learning Council has recommended major changes to state education policy that include abolishing seat-time requirements, linking teacher pay to student success, and overhauling public school funding models.

The recommendations are part of the council's 10 policy suggestions in a report issued Wednesday for states to use digital learning as a catalyst for education reform.

The council, headed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise, also suggests that, not only should all students have access to digital learning opportunities in the form of online or blended courses, but they should have choices between providers and methods of access.

The report is the result of a 90-day deliberation process that began when the council was commissioned in August. The council consists of about 100 leaders across government, education, business, technology, and research.  Read more....
