In January of 2012, Greene County School System implemented a major component of its School Improvement Grant (SIG) with the distribution of the iPad to all Greene County High School students.
“Our students have learning styles that are as unique as they are,” said Cynthia Brictson, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction. “We are meeting each of our students where and when they learn best. Learning begins to transform and increase exponentially when students learn from each other and have the tools to individualize their learning.”

Career, Technical and Agricultural Education provides students with the high-quality education necessary to prepare for career opportunities. Georgia, like many other career and technical education programs around the nation, has worked in recent years to establish a measurement mechanism to determine the level of technical skill achievement on behalf of its career pathway completers. CTAE now gives every Georgia student the opportunity to graduate from high school with the academic skills, hands-on experience in real work environments, and intensive career guidance required to succeed in college and/or employment.

 What does myChinese360 mean?
Learning a foreign language can be a challenge for many of us, and traditional language learning methods may not meet the needs of today's students.
This is why TCG Global developed myChinese360, a robust and well rounded (i.e. 360 degree) approach to learning that meets students at their interest level. With myChinese360, students have access to powerful learning tools 24 hours a day, and can engage with their fellow students and teachers no matter where they live.
Why should US Students Study Mandarin Chinese?
China is a sleeping giant, now boasting the fastest growing economy in the world. Learning Chinese gives US students the opportunity to take advantage of this change, and remain competitive in the global market. The US can not afford to be complacent in our ability to compete, and we need our workforce to have the language skills to cope with a growing interaction with Chinese-speaking countries.
The Ombudsman Academy is a school within a school. It was created with the help of a School Improvement Grant to meet the needs of the non-traditional student. The program design allows for flexibility for at-risk students who work, have children, or who want an alternative to traditional instruction in order to meet the requirements for successful high school graduation. Like all students in the school system, the Ombudsman Academy students will meet state and local requirements for promotion and graduation. Attainable goals are set, and each student works at his own pace to build skills and accelerate learning. Curriculum is adapted to meet each student's skill level.
The Academy’s purpose is to aid in improving the school system’s graduation rate by providing an alternate route to high school completion. Students are afforded the opportunity to attend one of the 3 hour sessions. The session times are 8:00 - 11:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. The Ombudsman Academy is unique in that it offers a blended format for instruction. Students complete computer based lessons as well as receive direct instruction from certified teachers. The Academy is designed to accommodate 50 students.
