GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A new school in Green Bay offers a different approach to the education road.
The Northeast Wisconsin School of Innovation is coming to Green Bay next fall.
A $900,000 dollar grant for the planning was issued by the DPI.
The administration says the new school will provide a community-minded student-centered learning environment.
“In our school, we spend 30 minutes every day working on relationships through a transition plan.”
Jason Johnson will be the administrator and is heading up the planning.
He says each students road will be different information and different time frames, but the end result is getting them ready for their individual future.
“We are going to make sure you are where you need to be before we say goodbye to you,” he said. “In a traditional school, time is the constant and learning is the variable. You are expected to come in and learn what you need to know by a certain time. At NEW Innovation, time is the variable.”
As far as the students who will be attending will be able to fill any holes that they may be dealing with when it comes to education.
“These are not students who are problematic, these are students who are dealing with barriers or they just have had so much transition in life that they are creating educational gaps.”
NEW School of Innovation will continue to partner with Northeast Wisconsin Technical College and UW-Green Bay.
