The Northwest Sampler

The following pages contain descriptions of three school systems that have made notable efforts in engaging students. These Northwest programs represent some of the promising strategies being implemented in schools around the nation. These educators -- some purposefully, some subconsciously -- have incorporated many of the strategies discussed in this booklet. Though each has a unique approach, all share common themes, such as community, consistent discipline, and student-centered learning to motivate students day after day. Included for each location is contact information, a description of the program, observed outcomes as a result of the program, and tips directly from these educators to others looking to implement similar efforts.
