TAG – Beliefs and Priorities Belief What it means for TAG - Student centered design – both in classrooms and as a school. Lessons planned with student engagement and complexity of task in mind. - Learning connected to context and, when possible, outlets for immediate application - G/T strategies embedded to enable students to explore their passions in a meaningful way Mastery of academic content is not the only major goal we focus on at the expense of all else. - We need to design a TAG experience that focuses on “soft skills” such as self-awareness, leadership, perseverance,, exploration, organization, self-advocacy, etc. in conjunction with academic content We are not content with preparing kids to be college-ready; instead, we should be preparing students to be owners and creators of their college (and life) experiences - Academic readiness for college is a crucial component for success in college. Along with that, we also need to be helping students gain broader perspectives and selfawareness so that they can become leaders and selfadvocates on their college campus and in life. - 0% AP/ACT/SAT/STAAR achievement gaps - Build and maintain an appropriate and equitable application process that minimizes bias - Build systems/structures into the TAG experience that capitalize on this and equip students with the skills and opportunities to discuss difficult and meaningful topics (race & identity, social justice, civic awareness, etc.) - Actively and strategically work to foster and build the TAG family environment and feel. High school students are highly capable of owning their own education and, with proper guidance, driving their own learning. We must have a major strength at supporting students of all backgrounds while serving 100% Dallas students successfully. We need to thoughtfully and powerfully leverage our incredible student/family diversity TAG graduates should leave with an incredible passion for education, a clearer picture of who they are as people, and skills (academic, personal, and social) and habits of mind to thrive in any environment.
