 Fenway High School
Fenway High School
was founded in 1983 as an alternative program in one of Boston’s big
district high schools. It is now an established Boston Pilot school, with
a student population that reflects the city’s diversity in ethnicity,
culture, and socioeconomic background. Although many incoming students
test below grade level, 89% of freshmen remain at Fenway for four years,
95% of seniors graduate, and 88% of graduates go on to college. Fenway’s
success with urban students draws educators from around the world who seek
to improve their own teaching practices. Fenway faculty give workshops at
educational conferences, lead on-site teacher training programs in
collaboration with Tufts University, Simmons College and the University of
Massachusetts Boston, and mentor math and humanities teachers at other
schools.
 Access
to the Curriculum
From its first
year, Fenway has been committed to engaging all its students,
whatever their academic strengths and weaknesses, in stimulating,
challenging curriculum. At Fenway, students are mixed in heterogeneous
classes, and they all study the same core topics in humanities, math and
science, and participate in the same academic assignments and activities.
Addressing the
individual learning needs of every student has been, and remains, a
rewarding but difficult initiative. At this summer institute on Access
and Inclusion, we will share successful strategies that have evolved
from our work. We will include classroom-based instructional strategies,
and also strategies that offer students access and opportunities beyond
the classroom through experiential learning. Finally, we will support
participants as they plan for new ways to approach all of their students,
including their most challenged learners.
