As part of Pobal Learning’s overall vision for the redevelopment of our educational system, we are developing a multi-year planning process that leads to a more engaging and effective high school experience specific to the needs and desires of the community it serves. Rooted in the needs of the local business community, LAUNCH would seamlessly integrate input from students, parents, teachers and business leaders with the overall district vision and needs to ideate, test and develop a learner-centric academic model. The process is intended to have healthy and empathetic discussions around the development of an engaging curriculum embedded with numerous necessary life-skills that is sympathetic to real-world challenges.
