High Tech High - A Glimpse of 21st Century Education

This You Tube video gives an overview of the remarkable teaching and learning taking place at High Tech High, a public school in San Diego. HTH's approach of providing students with opportunities for relevant and authentic real-world problem solving is geared towards the development of many of the same skills, knowledge, and habits of mind that we are pursuing here at Friends, and the projects depicted in this video mirror similar experiences that our own students are having.

High Tech High is featured in Tony Wagner's The Global Achievement Gap as a model 21st Century school.

Enjoy!
