CES Student Survey 2009

CES Teacher Survey 2009

CES practice is exemplified by small, personalized learning communities where teachers and students know each other well in a climate of trust, decency and high expectations for all. Modeling democratic practices with a strong commitment to equity, Essential schools work to create academic success for every student by sharing decision-making with all those affected by the schools and deliberately and explicitly confronting all forms of inequity. And, Essential schools focus on helping all students use their minds well through standards-aligned interdisciplinary studies, community-based “real-world” learning and performance-based assessment.

During the week of June 1st , Renaissance seniors will be presenting their senior exhibitions in the library, PAC, conference room and room #603. Students will present before a panel of teachers, parents and community members.

The exhibitions are a culmination of a year-long process which students begin by choosing a research topic that can sustain their passion and interest for the whole year. They then organize and implement some type of project that ties to their research, and gives back to the community in some way.

Some examples of research and projects include:

Research into the negative impact of illegal drugs in people’s lives, the project inviting and organizing the Southern Oregon Meth Project’s Christina Anderson to speak to all freshman students.

Research into the positive effects of arts education on students’academic achievement, and the project, a “Battle of the Bands” concert to raise money for the Crater Marching Band.

Research into the positive effects of gardening and spending time outdoors, the project building a Zen garden with stepping stones in the Crater quad.

There are 80 more wonderful projects that seniors have spent countless hours on – we are VERY proud of our seniors and the work they’ve done this year.
If you are interested in participating as a judge for Renaissance senior exhibitions, please call Robin Reames at 541-494-6369.
