Harding Elementary School’s Restructuring Plan
A restructuring plan for Harding Elementary School was approved by the board of education on
April 28 in preparation for Harding entering Year 4 in Program Improvement. The major components
of the plan include:
- Implement the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) pre-K-6
- Initiate a UCSB Lab School (components to be formalized in a memorandum of understanding
between UCSB and our districts’ board of education)
- Create a governance council to monitor student achievement and guide the implementation
of the IBPYP and UCSB Lab School
- Design more time to learn for students
- Implement common expectations for all teachers from the most effective research-based instructional
strategies
