Hart Co HS One of 53 Schools to Receive Second Year GRE4T Funding

Hart County High School is now one of 53 schools in the state selected to join the second year of The GRE4T Initiative: Georgia’s Pathway to Personalized Learning.

GRE4T is an $18.5 million federal grant to expand virtual and personalized learning in the state.

In furthering professional learning opportunities, Hart County High School plans to develop a team within the school to work with officials from the Georgia Department of Education.

The goal is to expand personalized learning techniques, so the needs of every student are met in the classroom.

Hart County High School Principal Kevin Gaines said in a press release Monday that the school will partner with the Department of Education on the GRE4T Initiative and reallu looking at personalized learning for students to make sure they are meeting the needs of all students.

He said while Hart County High School already implements personalized learning strategies, such as utilizing targeted advisement groups with advisors who meet with their at-risk students and daily “Bulldog Time” for student enrichment or remediation, the school is always seeking new ways to support each individual student.

Georgia’s schools will use GRE4T funding to improve the professional learning available to leaders and educators on personalized learning, expand student connectivity, and improve the infrastructure of – and expand access to – the Georgia Virtual School (GaVS).
