Learn from this district about:

Integrating arts, culture, and technology education into standards and curriculum: In collaboration with community partners, the Arts, Culture, and Technology Standards and Curriculum program (ACT) at Sitka School District integrates ACT skills and mindset into academic content through the district.

Building a makerspace: The Fabrication and Design Lab (Fab Lab) provides students with the opportunity to use state-of-the-art equipment and digital technology to build and construct their designs. The mobile makerspace cart allows students in all of the district’s schools to have access to maker learning and exposure to computational thinking skills.

Closing the achievement gap through early education programs: In partnership with community organizations, the Wooch.een Yei Jigaxhtoonei (We are Working Together) preschool program, is targeting students age 3-5 who qualify as low-income for early education support in order to increase graduation and performance rates.
