9x5: The HiPlaces Model

From the 9 Dimensions:
Ensure Success for All Students

In a high performance learning community, all students are expected to reach the same high standards. Students are expected to be responsible for their own learning, and the school is structured in ways to allow them to be able to do this. There is no tracking or sorting of students. Programs which increase school-wide test averages by only raising the scores of certain students not acceptable. High performing schools embrace practices that have been shown to increase the achievement of all students. All students are taught and are expected to learn the same curriculum. This is done through instruction which takes into account varied learning styles and is differentiated to best address the needs of individual students.
