Sir Francis Drake High School
Since the late 1980's Sir Francis Drake High School, in San Anselmo, California,
has been on a journey of school reform and innovation. The Teaching Staff
and Administration has been working hand-in-hand with several regional organizations
to enhance the educational system and direction through work in modified
scheduling, team teaching and clusters, project-based learning, and academic
integration. These efforts have yielded many valuable examples in school
reform that have inspired schools, both public and private, across the nation.
California Artists For Education have been working in collaboration with
both Sir Francis Drake High School and Redwood High School of the Tamalpais
Union High School District since 1996. CAFE's guest artists have worked
with many of the integrated studies programs, the 9th/10th grade clusters,
and drama department on projects ranging from original script collaborations
in a drama class to performance assessments in a world history classroom.
