Introduction of Our Story
“It takes just one student to bring about change, as long as there is a staff member there to listen.”
![Page 5: NEASC Presentation on TASC](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081511/5591c1df1a28abb3258b4612/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TASC is a program that:o involves teachers, paraprofessionals,
specialists, guidance counselors, and administrators
o for the purpose of providing supports, interventions and extensions to students
o during the regular school day.

Challenges We MetWill TASC constitute another prep?
Will students be invested without a grade component?
How will we achieve accountability with that many students in transit after Block II?
Should faculty be assigned their own students?
