Fishing for Success: Our Alternative High School is in our second year offering courses that baits students' interest to increase attendance, engagement, and progress towards graduation through interdisciplinary, proficiency-based learning. Examples will be shared for how we have designed, delivered, and funded these options, such as a Fishing focus where students make their own fishing poles, learn about marine life and the science of fishing. Information about materials, lesson designs, and the ins-and-outs we've learned along the way for our "Flex Options" will be shared that have hooked days of 100% attendance, positive behaviors, excellent engagement, and waiting lists.
