Arlington Community Charter School has earned a Career Choices silver medal in recognition of their implementation of the nationally acclaimed Get Focused…Stay Focused!® curriculum.
The honor, awarded by curriculum publisher Academic Innovations, is reserved for the top schools in the country that are dedicated to promoting student success, college and career readiness, post-secondary completion, and successful skilled entry into the workforce.
“We love recognizing hardworking and talented educators across the country, but the real winners are the students and their communities,” said Mindy Bingham, author of the Career Choices series curriculum and CEO of Academic Innovations. “Thanks to the efforts of these dedicated teachers and administrators, students are set up for long-term success with meaningful 10-year plans to guide them toward achieving their career and life goals.”
Arlington Community Charter School is a shining example of student success, exceeding state averages in graduation rate and subject level proficiency.
“Our students through the years have been able to implement pieces of the program for continuing education, work and life in general,” said lead Career Choices teacher Lori McGuire. “Each student has the opportunity to be successful and this program was able to give them the tools.”
This is Arlington Community Charter School’s first ever Career Choices medal.
