Evergreen High School

At Evergreen High School, we have essentially two different strategies we have used to improve inclusion in our school. The first is creating a master schedule that allows for something we call a Gateway to College Block. That block classes consists of 4 teachers (2 content, 1 academic support, 1 special education) and 60 students over 2 periods per block. We have about two thirds of our freshmen in these block classes, and it is the normal track for all 9th graders. In addition to our block model, we have also implemented a co-teaching model which includes collaboration and co-planning times.
