No, But I Would Like To
Dave recently spent 30 minutes discussing his new book, on Larry Jacobs' EduTalks Podcast. They discussed what it would take to quadruple the academic success rate (college-readiness) of America's minority (rural, and low-income) teens, and the insights gained studying odds-beating schools, and API results.

It's Time for a revolution in education. Society is changing dramatically. The world is much more competitive today. Our children need twice the knowledge and skill set to keep pace. To gain an edge, students must invest considerably more time and effort. We need a new school model that delivers a bolder and smarter education relevant to real life.
It all starts with a stronger foundation. NewERA Schools use a longer-day, year-round format to maximize teaching and learning time. We create a contiguous educational experience - perfect for providing ample time to master core subjects, complete daily "homework" and participate in a variety of enrichment programs. Our full-service, all-day formula fills a student's day with positive activities and eases a family's hectic schedule. |
The educational program is ambitious. NewERA Schools nurture Entrepreneurial Spirit through a modern Renaissance Education and a traditional Athletic Mindset. Our rigorous college prep work is designed not only to teach important content, but also to help students understand and expand who they are, what they know, and what they can do. These lessons broaden a student's view of the world, deepen experiences and develop character and inner confidence.
We put first things first. Students complete core material before going on to a unique collection of electives. NewERA's additional courses and activities engage students and provide a healthy balance to standard subjects. Our educators encourage students to be equally imaginative and analytical. The arts, business, and technology become second nature instead of second thoughts. |
We teach success. NewERA's world-class program starts with a focus on responsibility. Teachers and students set defined goals and work to surpass them. Students develop individual achievement plans that go beyond academics to include personal interests, total fitness, career skills and lifetime ambitions. This process builds the discipline and winning habits needed for long-term success.
We expect excellence. NewERA leaders demand more from themselves and their students. We know young people are capable of outstanding performance, so we surround them with the tools to thrive - the best facilities, systems and instruction. NewERA's culture of achievement teaches self discipline, risk-taking, teamwork and leadership. Our students learn to be independent, work with others and take charge of their own future. |
