Rome City Middle School
Rome City Middle School was selected to join the STAR Universal
Project in the spring of 2001. Their participation seemed to be
a
natural extension of Rome City's Elementary School involvement with
the Buddy Project in previous years. As a STAR Universal Writers
site, teachers receive extensive professional development in data
driven decision making and writing. In addition the staff is immersed
in the All
Write!!! Program which engages teachers and students in memorable
writing activities, fosters an environment for an educator network,
provides tools and support to make the writing process happen, and
helps the community by giving students real-world skills that they’ll
need to become contributing, communicating adults (http://www.dekkofoundation.org/all_write.htm).
Rome City also trained a small group of middle school students
as their Webtech Team. These students are active in supporting the
technology goals of the school by offering hardware troubleshooting
to the staff, providing software instruction, and developing and
overseeing the school
website. These students do amazing things and provide a model
for other schools to emulate.
