President Obama highlights Big Picture Learning/Met High Schools in Speech to US Chamber of Commerce Monday March 10th, 2010. He addressed the U.S. Chamber Of Commerce on the topic of education. He discussed the high numbers of high school students in the United States who drop out and do not earn a diploma. He then highlighted innovative high schools which have been effective at reversing this trend and empowering students to excel.
President Obama specifically highlighted the Met High School in Providence, RI as an example of the type of innovative and revolutionary school that has been very successful.
"That's why we'll follow the example of places like the Met Center in Rhode Island that give students that individual attention, while also preparing them through real-world, hands-on training the possibility of succeeding in a career.” The Met Sacramento High School is a part of the Big Picture Learning Network, modeled on The Met in Providence, RI and is in the Sacramento City Unified School District. The Met’s approach is to work with One Student at a Time; students and families work closely with their advisor to create individualized learning plans. Students pursue their passions through internships and gain hands]on experience by engaging in real]world learning. Met Sacramento Students have the opportunity to take classes at Sacramento City College through a unique early college high school dual]enrollment program supported by the Foundation for California Community Colleges. Students connect with staff through an advisory program and develop lasting relationships with classmates. In addition to the School Advisory Board, parents/guardians attend student exhibition presentations to discuss progress and future goals.
