| Minnesota Leadership Academy (MLA) inspires virtuous leaders through a rigorous liberal arts education. We aim to become a replicable, scalable and exemplary K-8 Minneapolis public school where 100% of our scholars are academically proficient, ready to thrive in high school and college, and demonstrate character and leadership. MLA is inspired by the belief that learning gaps can be closed and the potential of all children unleashed through engaging and content-rich liberal arts learning that develops both mastery of knowledge and skills and analytical, creative, entrepreneurial and other cognitive and leadership capacities.
Never previously implemented in concert, the three pillars of the MLA model include:
1) Replicating the proven classical academic model and instructional methods implemented by Nova Classical Academy in St. Paul, Minnesota`s highest performing public school by eighth grade (2008 state MCA results).
2) Proven practices of America`s highest performing urban public charter elementary schools succeeding with under-served children, such as Community day, Milwaukee College Preparatory, and other "no excuses" schools.
3) Cultivating Minnesota`s future leaders, change-makers and innovators through a unique leadership learning program created by MLA educators developing civic knowledge, skills,
practices and character within a civic school culture.
Learning from great schools, MLA`s other core components include:
1) Outstanding teacher-leaders given ownership and support as members of a vibrant professional learning community
2) An unapologetic focus on very high academic, college, leadership and character expectations for every MLA scholar
3) Sytematic day-long literacy development across subject areas; the proven Singapore Mathematics program
4) Frequent formative assessment/analysis of student progress driving continuous improvement of learning and teaching
5) Targeted intervention/acceleration for students falling below/rising above grade level, including tutoring support
6) The use of online learning and other methods to support the differentiation of instruction/individualization of learning
7) An all-encompassing "whatever it takes" culture and coherent systems/structures reinforcing school priorities/values |
