This executive summary highlights the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Framework for Connecticut’s High Schools: A Working Guide for High School Redesign, which provides a common framework for leaders at the state, district, school and community levels. The summary highlights the seven expectations identified in the framework and lists requirements and policy recommendation for each expectation. While high school redesign may vary by school community, all communities in Connecticut must develop a comprehensive plan that includes all seven of the framework expectations. Finally, the summary lists practices to consider phasing out and replacing that have an impact on teaching and learning or school structures. This could be a helpful resource for states that want to tackle high school redesign in a comprehensive and interconnected way while providing their local districts and schools with clear action steps.
