Albuquerque Talent Development Secondary Charter School (ATDSCS) is a new charter school approved by the New Mexico State Department of Education,
scheduled to openn the week of August 18th, 2008, at 2100 Atrisco Drive NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120.
ATDSCS will provide an educational experience for students seeking to develop their academic talents unlike any educational program currently available in Albuquerque or surrounding area.
Through its partnership with Johns Hopkins University Talent Development schools ATDSCS will develop each student's individual academic talents using proven reinforcement strategies and Personal Education Plans (PEP).
ATDSCS is a
free, fully accredited public school open to all 9th-12th grade students from the greater Albuquerque area.
ATDSCS is a comprehensive model for reaching students to improve their attendance, discipline, achievement scores, and dropout rates. This includes organizational and management differences that establish a school climate, curricular and instructional innovations that prepare students for high-level courses in math and English; parent and community involvement to encourage college awareness; and professional development to support the recommended reforms. In fact, ATDSCS is a part of the Center for Social Organization of Schools (CSOS), which was established in 1966 as an educational research and development center at Johns Hopkins University. The Center maintains full-time, highly productive sociologists, psychologists, and educators who conduct program research that support students' academic, behavioral, and social outcomes.
