Beginning with the new school year, which kicks off Aug. 24, middle school and high school students may be able to design some of their own courses to achieve high school credit outside the classroom.
Members of the district’s credit flexibility team outlined the new program for school board members at their meeting Monday, July 26.
“I get excited when I think of getting student learning outside the four walls of a classroom, because that is where real life happens,” said Dave Miller, who teaches at Worthington Kilbourne High School.
Miller said options for credit flexibility include students pursuing independent study and a portfolio presentation; online courses; internships; service learning; research-based projects; dual credit college and high school programs; distance learning; and educational travel, similar to the Walkabout option that’s part of the Linworth Alternative Program.
