What is New Tech? New Tech is a High School with a different learning style. Almost everything that gets done is on a computer in the style of a project. All of our subjects are combined. For Example, Geometry and Art are combined to to make GeoArt, Biology and Literature are combined to make BioLit, and History and Technology are combined to make HistoryTech. Before lunch we have Advisory. Advisory is a group to talk about different things around and about the school. There are two teachers in every classroom; one for each subject. New Tech is for High Schoolers in 9th grade. Next year it will be for 9th and 10th graders and so on. New Tech only contains 125 students. This style of learning will help many students get jobs in business. It is a fantastic way for students to learn.

PBL (Project Based Learning)
3 Essential Principles
There are 5 steps to PBL. The first step is using an entry document. The second step is doing a “know” chart. The third step is using a “Need To Know” chart. The fourth step is creating a problem statement. The last step is creating the next steps you want to use. We use PBL to organize our projects .
