Chula Vista High School
Chula Vista Senior High School, in Southern California near the Mexican border, was the site of a one-year program of intensive QTEL pilot testing (spring 2002 — spring 2003). At the time, the school, with a large population of immigrants in need of academic language development, was classified by the state as an under-performing school requiring immediate intervention. The QTEL professional development design involved working with all teachers to varying degrees — from two days with the entire faculty to more substantial work with content area departments, including intensive coaching with core teachers in those departments.
By the end of the year, the school met its target growth on the California Department of Education's Academic Performance Index (API) for the first time in three years and left behind its classification as an under-performing school.
The Sweetwater Union High School District in Chula Vista came back to QTEL in 2008, when QTEL content area institutes were offered to teachers across the district. more»
