The way we teach in the Wake County Public School System is undergoing a cultural change as educators work in learning teams to meet the needs of each student. A driving force behind learning teams, or professional learning communities, has been the work of High Five.
The Wake County Public School System is one of five school systems partnering with High Five which is funded by Blue Cross Blue Shield, Capitol Broadcasting, Progress Energy, The News and Observer, and SAS.
Talking to the Board of Education at its Nov. 18 meeting, News and Observer Publisher Orage Quarles talked about the partners' commitment to the goal of high school graduation for all students. High Five Executive Director Vann Langston talked about the work that has been accomplished and plans for the future.
